The Stand - American Classics Redefined

Great hamburgers, good atmosphere, fast and friendly service! This is a place to grab a bite, and chill outdoors at the dining area, conveniently located right next to the Ventura boulevard, this place gets really busy, so make sure to save some time for the line, which goes fast. Drinks were great too! Salads 🥗 and chips with guacamole 🥑 were also great!

The burgers were ok. The brioche bun is a nice touch. Felt the burger needed more sauce and more salt. Their fries were ok as well. The ranch dressing was flavorful. Doesn’t come with any sides so you have to order fries on the side. $60 for 2 burgers 2 sides and 2 beers. Overall not worth the price.

Absolutely the best food for a first time customer. My new go-to-place for this kind of food. I had it delivered and everything was so fresh.

Got the Southwest Chicken Sandwich with fire sauce, stand chips, a Chocolate Chip shake & Blueberry Lemonade. Everything was delicious! The sandwich is pretty big, chicken was juicy and the sauces tasted great, it wasn't salty but stand chips were so they went well together. The Blueberry Lemonade was awesome, very refreshing & not too sweet. The shake was yummy too, made well and also not too sweet! It's a nice place with seating inside, lots of seating outside with pretty trees and light decorations. They have a parking lot on the side along with street parking. Prices seem a little higher for the burgers but they're fair since it's pretty big.

Creative burger joint. Huge selection of toppings that you can include on your burger. Nice looking salads. Homemade potato chips. Yummy onion rings. Very no-frills interior. Plenty of outdoor seating. Be patient... everything is made to order and takes time. Outdoor seating available.

The food at the Encino location is enjoyable, and the outdoor dining area has a pleasant atmosphere. However, the customer service leaves much to be desired. The staff is unfriendly and displays a noticeable lack of gratitude. Despite ordering online for two consecutive weeks and stating my name multiple times upon pickup, I still faced unnecessary questioning as if it weren't my order. On one occasion, the cashier failed to acknowledge my presence until prompted, and even then, no apology or acknowledgment of the wait was offered. Clearly, there is a need for improved service training among the employees. As a result, I am hesitant to return anytime soon.

The Stand in one of my favorite, casual dining places. The people are friendly and helpful beyond expectation, and I have never in perhaps 10-12 years had a single item that was prepared incorrectly or had to go back to the kitchen. A wonderful place to sit and relax and have wonderful, appealing, tasty food, served as quickly as any place in Los Angeles.

This is a pretty good place. I had never been but we went there and had some good food. I ordered a turkey burger that was delicious and my wife got a lettuce wrapped burger. The fires are very tasty and the drinks are good. The prices are also pretty reasonable

This place, this place. Before this place I was loyal to in in out. I would never had a burger anywhere else. But the shroom burger is what my dreams are made of. I really hope they keep this on the menu. We always look forward to visiting this specific location because our experience here has always exceeded our expectations. The minute you walk in your greeted by staff, helped quite promptly, staff are always friendly and patient with any questions you have and very attentive. Attentive at the register, at cleaning off tables once they're done being used, coming by to make sure you're ok and thanking you on your way out. Nikkie the manager at this location gives exceptional service. She makes you feel like family and always has a positive attitude when we visit. Although, this location is always busy because it's around so many businesses, she seems to run a tight ship. As we waited for our to go order one day, everyone worked as a team, noticing the friendliness amongst staff was a breathe of fresh air. We see you, girl!! I highly recommend this place. The restaurant is always well kept, it has a laid back ambiance, there is plenty of seating with a patio out front, seating inside and seating out back. One of my favorite parts is my food comes out hot and super fresh every time. Do NOT miss out on grabbing a Cookie Butter Crunch shake. Our favorite and go to order, which I also recommend is - ABC BURGER avocado, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing HAVARTI SHROOM BURGER Stand Blend Beef Patty, Havarti Cheese, Double Portion Shiitake & Cremini Mushroom Blend, Charred Jalapeño Scallion Aioli on a Brioche Bun And depending on our mood for sides we'll order - SWEET POTATO FRIES FIRE FRIES Well done fries tossed in our spicy fire sauce. RED GINGER GREEN BEANS Blistered Green Beans, Red Ginger Dressing, Crispy Onion Strings, Sesame Seeds Or a basket of half ONION RINGS/STAND FRIES. There is nothing we've had here that we didn't LOVE. Treat yourself!

Love The Stand! I've been going to a nearby dog park weekly and someone recommended this place to me. There's plenty of outdoor seating so it's very dog friendly! The burgers are sooo good and we especially love the french onion soup burger. Great service!

This place is always busy, I love seeing families and kids eating here and enjoying fries, burgers and shakes. The workers are friendly and always make sure your order is correct. The first time I ordered from here online it was fantastic, brought my bf in and we have brought many people since. We love sitting outside it's so cute on the patio. They offer delicious teas and lemonade combinations. There's beer and wine as well. Their home made chips and pickles are to die for. Each location I've noticed offers different specials. This one is great about make accommodations! I order lettuce wrapped burgers, or on a gluten free bun and they're considerate to ask if it's an allergy or not. They do have dairy free, vegan, gluten free options for those that need it. Their milk shakes are so thick and creamy. I order the kale crunch salad and off the kids menu for a burger or chicken nuggets often. Don't skip the fries, and their fire sauce! They have a ton of options and this place has easy parking. Great for anyone to come and enjoy, salad, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Good quality ingredients, easy service, welcome and comfortable atmosphere to come with friends, family, on a date, work lunch etc.

Every time I come to The Stand, I walk out feeling just a bit happier, which makes my day better. I attribute this to the excellent customer service skills of Brian(one of the managers). It is evident his primary goal is ensuring customer satisfaction. He always goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a good experience. I also always make these special, annoying requests for my sandwiches and he's never once got it wrong - impressive! In addition to the customer service, the food is consistently good. The bread is always fresh and perfectly toasted. They always use fresh ingredients from their tomatoes to their arugula. Today, we ordered the following items: Chicken club sandwich Grand Stand turkey sandwich Broccoli cheddar soup The chicken breast was perfectly prepared and well seasoned. I don't know what kind of spread they put on the bread but it elevated the taste of the sandwich. The turkey sandwich is equally good if not better. The sourdough bread they use is soooo good. They put just the right amount of ingredients so that no other ingredient overpowers another. The broccoli cheddar soup was really delicious. The cheese was gooey and it had the right amount of broccoli flavor. I always have a good experience when I come here. Make sure to download their app to earn points for free food.

Came here yesterday with my mom and daughter. Ordered the chimichurri steak salad, when the food came out my salad had no meat in it. I took the salad back inside with the receipt and explained there was no meat, the employee said they left the meat on the counter, he spoke so fast it was hard to understand him. He said he would bring the salad back out. The salad was good, but after I ate it, I began not to feel well, it started out like indigestion, and progressed into a super sour stomach and a fever. By the time I got home I was in so much pain. I got food poisoning from that salad, who knows how long that meat was sitting out or what other pathogens it came in contact with. As of this review I'm still in bed and my stomach is still hurting. My mom and daughter were fine no symptoms.

Great hamburgers, good atmosphere, fast and friendly service! This is a place to grab a bite, and chill outdoors at the dining area, conveniently located right next to the Ventura boulevard, this place gets really busy, so make sure to save some time for the line, which goes fast. Drinks were great too! Salads and chips with guacamole were also great!

Great outdoor seating, the burger was cooked medium and tasted like a burger you cooked out in the grill but in a good way, perfectly cooked medium. All the toppings were delicious. Subbing the blue cheese was the way to go for the onion stack burger. All the other sandwiches were just okay- come here for the burgers not the specialty sandwiches. The green beans were crunchy and had a good spice to it. They also had an aqua Fresca cucumber mint that I could drink a gallon of if I could it was delicious!

It is a rarity that I use a food delivery service, but in this instance I did. As you may know, the prices that are listed below are higher than if you had bought the food in person because usually the restaurant will list higher prices to help cover the cost of doing business on the delivery apps (in my case, it was GrubHub). The salad and burger that I ordered are a couple of dollars more what it actually costs. ($11.24) 1 Kale Quinoa Crunch Salad - Kale, spring mix, fresh mint, crispy quinoa, almonds, avocado, cucumber, parmesan, red onion, sesame seeds and honey lime vinaigrette. *** Personally, the fresh mint ruined it for me. For my palate, it was not a good combination and it made it difficulty to finish eating the salad. I wish I had removed the fresh mint from the order. I think it would have tasted significantly better without that ingredient. ($14.06)1 ABC Burger - Avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing ***This was a tasty burger. Nothing out of this world, but it will satisfy your craving. It tastes exactly as you would expect. Next time I am in the NoHo West area, I will go check out The Stand in-person because the quality of the food is good (even though the one ingredient -- mint-- brought this review down).

Great service and delicious food. We could finally enjoy the sunshine on the patio because it wasn't raining. The employees are very cool and friendly!

Came here with my daughter for a burger...well lunch, I am plant based but open to things. Great choice! I haven't been a big fan of veggie burgers when I go out. Most of them seem to be from a box, heated in the microwave and not treated like they treat their meat burgers. This one was definitely different! This veggie burger was fresh, had great flavor and all the fixings on the burger were fresh, well placed and delicious ! Great bun as well! My daughter had the real deal meat burger and loved it! I will definitely come back here for a veggie burger, this was worth the time! Great service, great food! KT

Burger was soggy. Requested well done patty, but patty was still pink. Stomach hurt after eating. Spend your $ elsewhere. ‍

For a quick lunch this place is great. The food is pretty good and the service is fast and friendly. There is plenty of seating outside especially if you have kids. Inside seating tends to be too noisy. I had a delicious Stand Hot Dog with Sweet Potato Fries and my husband had a veggie burger.

Upon my visit to the Stand this afternoon, I was delighted by the customer service I received as soon as I walked in the door! The cashier Jordan was exceptionally friendly and was very apt to answer any questions I had regarding the menu items. Her genuine kindness and care for her customers really made the whole experience worth while. She certainly deserves a promotion. On top of providing outstanding quality and creativity in its food choices this location deserves an A+.

Great Hot Dog & Burger joint with a nice outdoor patio They have salads and beer too! My Golden Retrievers love it also

Basic food done right. My favorite thing to get from the stand is a good old fashioned milkshake. The cookie butter milkshake is a requirement if you love a biscoff cookie. I have had the strawberry and vanilla which all both equally delicious. Other options we've tasted here, the stand hot dog, Mac and cheese, burger and a veggie burger. The reason I love the stand is that you can get classic options and meet everyone's needs (gluten-free, vegan) at one spot. It's a quick serve spot so I go here when I need it on the go. There is a super cute patio at this location so if you want to stay a while there is an option for that too.

We don't live in the area anymore. I wish I had a The Stand location in Ventura county near our home. When you are in the mood for American comfort food, The Stand is the place. My only disappointment is their new hot dog menu. I don't know when they change it to build it yourself, but many ingredients to construct the Chicago Dog are no longer available, therefore I am subtracting a star. But THE STAND will never let you down!

I really love the Stand in Northridge so I came here with some friends. I usually get the kale quinoa salad but opted this time for the falafel wrap. It sounded good but really missed the mark. The tortilla was so dry and brittle, it cracked off while I bit into it. The inside was super dry and the falafel was burnt. All around not good. My husband liked his tuna press so I add a star for that. The restaurant was mostly clean and well kept. I guess stick to the Northridge location.

The burgers here are ways delicious. Our favorite is the ABC Burger. The bacon is always amazingly crispy and the avocado is super fresh. If you have a small mouth like I do then it will be a struggle on the first few bites but it is worth it! I love sitting outside at this location! There can be a bit of car noise in the background depending on the amount of traffic, but the ambiance of the outdoor seating cancels out the noise from the street. Be warned, parking can be difficult to find!

The Stand's veggie burger is a real game-changer! The patty's savory goodness paired with crisp veggies and that perfectly toasted bun left me seriously impressed. It's a delightful choice for any veggie-loving foodie out there.

Great place to go with friends. Quiet outdoor dining, perfect for a warm summer evening. Everyone in my group loved the food, whether it was a basic stand burger and fries or their delicious green beans or guac and chips. I had the onion soup burger, with two slices of fried crispy Swiss cheese, grilled onions, fried onions, and a container of onion soup to dip it in. Exceptional! At the end of the evening my friends all said, "Let's come back here again!" And we will. (Added bonus: Free parking lot in back)

Super friendly staff! Shout out to Eric who helped us out! The place itself was also very clean :)

I love this place. The burgers are so freakin good. Fast service and not super crowded .

I don't know what's happened to this place but the last three times we have gone there when the food comes to us it's always cold. It's like they leave it up there on the counter and don't pick it up and bring it to us. If you go there in the afternoon, no fries are made. So you get your food and you have to wait 15 to 20 minutes to get some fries. And a lot of times the kids taking your order. Ignore what you're asking for.

The Stand holds a very special place in my heart. My grandfather went there every day for lunch before he passed and even has his name on a plaque there. Well I hadn't been in 15 years and decided to honor him and take my family in to eat. I could not believe how incredible it was. All around. Food, service and the ambiance was all beyond enjoyable. I got the brisket sandwich which was beyond 10/10. Absolutely amazing. I never finish a burger or sandwich and I ate this whole thing, every last bite. We also got the French onion soup burger and it was something that I should have eaten earlier! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy the food and people.

We dined here today, and had an odd experience. We are regulars as other The Stand locations, shout out to The Stand in Westlake Village. We ordered a the short rib melt, the Cobb salad, hotdog, fries and a milkshake. My other half grabbed a bottle of soda and asked for a chilled glass, he was told that he couldn't have a chilled glass. Weird, but ok. Then his shake had a funky taste off it, he said it tasted like soap. He brought it back to the counter and told them about the weird taste. The lady behind the counter said the drink was made with the right ingredients, and she smelled the syrup and told him it smelled fine. He wasn't concerned with the smell, it was the taste. He felt like he was being told that there was nothing wrong with the shake. It was an awkward, somewhat weird experience. He asked for a refund instead of a remake, because of how the lady behind the counter responded to his issue. All in all, an odd experience today. And we were not left with the usual warm and fuzzy feelings we get from the Westlake Village location. Side not: the toilets were disgusting and had no toilet paper, in either of them. They smell awful and were clearly not being attended to. Big red flag for me.

The food is good for what it is but seriously knocking off some points for our last experience. I arranged to meet a friend here for lunch on the patio and arrived a few minutes early. Knowing how busy it can get I went to get a table and was surprised to see all of the shaded table had been marked reserved. Surprising because as far as I knew they don't take reservations. I grabbed a table in the sun and watched as group after group wandered in disappointed to see the remaining 4 tables reserved. Soon a woman came in and stopped a person running food and said this was her reservation for 40 and demanded to know why one of her tables was taken. (Awkward as there were people sitting there eating). Just as I stood to walk in and order this woman's children push past me and run to get ahead in line. Shocked that the woman didn't say anything I turned to look inside to see 40 screaming and wild children in matching uniforms chaotically standing in line to order. No not standing, looked more like lunch time at a watering hole in the Savannah - absolute chaos. Now it's not The Stand's job to babysit, so I don't blame them for bad parenting. (I mean I know I was never aloud to act like that in a restaurant but whatever) but I can't believe how mismanaged the situation was. To take a reservation for 40 and not require a preorder, or one check... just 40 kids going rogue it was just bonkers! I can't imagine the money they lost all in the name of 40 kids meals. We ended up realizing it was going to be hell sitting out there and we were going to wait forever as the kitchen was inundated with 40 kids throwing down mommy and daddy's credit cards and running around like they just snorted fun dip so we left. Next time, may I suggest Chuck E. Cheese. And the stand... next time, say no.. or at least require a GD preorder for the sale of all your other customers. We ended up leaving

The Stand offers premium hamburgers and other fare. Service is quick. There is plenty of seating inside as well as the patio, which also features heaters. Parking is available on the lot. Our order was prepared quickly and arrived very tasty. I opted for the Onion Stack, sweet potato fries and had to indulge with a strawberry shake (very creamy). Made for a nice early dinner.

Pretty good hamburger place. The burgers are big and delicious and the fries are normally fresh and delicious. Love coming here. They have a nice parking lot and plenty of parking. They have covered patio which is nice. The only drawback is the place is small

Went for lunch, street parking available as well as a large lot. Surprised that it was so crowded but line moved quickly and lunch came out quickly. Watermelon/mint tea was awesome. Had a Stand hot dog (mustard/relish/onions) and a Classic Chili dog. Huge, filling and delicious. One is plenty for lunch.

We absolutely adore eating at this spot. They consistently host restaurant nights at my child's school, making it a must-visit place for a quick bite. The food is delicious and caters to everyone in my family. Personally, I can't get enough of their Root Beer Floats. They scoop out the ice cream for you, and then you can self-pour your root beer from a bottle, allowing you to customize it exactly how you like. As I'm jotting down this review, I find myself craving a visit. Definitely a place I would highly recommend!

we would a long blonde hair in tuna salad, waiter saw it and agreed to replace . its been over 20 no replacement.

Any place that can make a burger my kids and wife actually will eat gets an automatic 5 star. Picky eaters .... well you know. Service was great, learned a lot about their craft from talking to the head chef that happened to be there. For instance their short rib grilled cheese is so good because it's marinated and cooked slowly for 6 hours before its deboned and ready to serve. Most of the seating is outdoors. Today, not such a great day for that, as 8t was raining. Inside the ambiance is great, it has a welcoming feeling, and you don't feel like you are being corralled, like a cow waiting to be slaughtered. I ordered a few things. Turkey burger version of the Mushroom Havarti, substituting the normal ability with jalapeño, for sweet chili aioli. (The wife's call not mine. I had the normal version of this on a chicken sandwhich version and I'd say it tasted great.) Regardless she loved it. I ordered a backup of the onion ring with hickory and bacon burger just in case she didn't like what she ordered.... yeah it was wolfed down too. I ordered the grilled cheese and short rib. By the time I got to it she had eaten a quarter to try... good thing she was full.... absolutely delicious. The kids got turkey burgers. They thoroughly enjoyed them. A big win here, they don't nor.ally like burgers. The kids, as a side, got the Mac and cheese... gone in seconds. This place has been around for a while, but it took me going to Dragonfly Acupuncture behind them, to get me to try it. Good thing too, because I'll be coming back since I'll be having quite a few sessions there. Hats off to great food and great service.

Ugh! So disappointed! Ordered the Cobb salad to go. It looked so good in the box. It was SO BLAND! Nothing was seasoned, not the dressing, not the chicken. Nothing!!! Either learn to season, or add salt and pepper packets to your to go orders! Probably one of the worst salads I've had.

good food great vibes awesome people so helpful & amazing - they went over and beyond & this is coming from a mom of 4! highly recommend

I was a big fan of The Stand and have even written a five star review of another location. But what happened last night was unacceptable. We ordered and waited. And waited. And waited. We saw three orders get served before ours, meals that were as many if not more burgers and fries, so we know they took as long to cook as ours. Then our order came and the fire fries were room temperature cold and soggy from sitting with sauce on them. The burger was also room temperature. Our meals had clearly been just sitting somewhere. I took mine inside and went to a guy who seemed to be managerial. I told him that our order took really long, that the fries were soggy, and that the burger wasn't hot. Now get this: he stuck his fingers in the burger (under the wrapper) and said, "Are you sure about that? I mean...." I worked in the food industry fifteen years before owning a restaurant consulting business. There is one response to when a customer says the food isn't hot: That response is, always, "I'm sorry about that, let me get you another order." That's it. That's the one response. You would have made a better impression and lost less than 10 bucks in ingredients. Instead, this guy poked my food in front of a room of employees and customers, some of them watching us, and then fully expected me to go eat my food. He later came and said, "I'm sorry you felt that your food was cold." No, I didn't feel my food was cold. It was cold. And even if we don't agree on what hot food should feel like, don't tell them they are wrong and ignore the other issues. What a shame that one of my favorite local joints is now a place I associate with cold food, soggy fries, and a very unprofessional management team.

My daughter stopped here and brought home a 6 oz. chicken burger. That burger was amazing. I had it the next day heated up for breakfast and ate the whole thing (I was hungry)! The meat was tender and flavorful. They had pickles, tomatoes and lettuce on a bun with a sauce that was out of this world! And messy, you bet!!!! Get plenty of napkins! I would definitely get this burger again!

I absolutely love the Stand and this location. Such wonderful food . Came here with my fiancé and a good friend that's staying wit us. The ambience was beautiful! The food was delicious . Also, ANGEL the cashier made us feel SO welcome! We had questions and slight adjustments to our order - he was so nice, helpful, and made sure we had all we needed. The staff here is top notch! Thank you, Stand Encino, Angel, and all the staff!

I've had it with this place!! (The Stand in Encino) I always order the Cobb salad and I can't even count how many times they've served it with blue cheese in it that is past its prime and tastes "off". I have actually spoken to the owner of this location about it in the past, but when nothing is done to change the problem after months & months, I think it's time to share this info and give up on the place. How hard is it to dump your left over cheese out each night after closing and serve fresh cheese each day?? I've wasted too much money on this same issue at this point!! If they serve off cheese, what other food items might they also be cutting corners on that we can't even taste??? Scary to think about!!! I also just found a long black hair at the bottom of my hot dog container when I picked it up to eat. I'm a blond, so it certainly wasn't my own hair. Disgusting!! This was a TAKE OUT order so once I get it home to eat there isn't much that can be done!

Great food. Everything on the menu that I have tried was great. Nice atmosphere with several choices of outdoor or indoor tables. Good for take out also. Friendly staff. Well run establishment!

During my visit to The Stand in Encino, I had hoped for a better dining experience compared to the visit before (also was awful). However, my expectations were shattered as the food quality turned out to be dreadful. What made matters even worse was the distressing sight of rats freely traversing up and down the walls of the inside covered patio area. This review highlights the utterly unacceptable conditions I encountered and emphasizes the need to address the situation promptly, possibly involving the health department. From the moment I stepped into The Stand, I couldn't shake off my reservations. The food, which should have been the star of the show, left much to be desired. The flavors fell flat, and it was evident that little care had been taken in the preparation process. The overall dining experience was disappointing, lacking the culinary satisfaction I had hoped for during my return visit. However, what truly shocked and disgusted me was the presence of rats. Throughout my meal, I couldn't ignore the unsettling sight of these vermin scurrying along the walls. Witnessing such a blatant disregard for hygiene and cleanliness was not only disheartening but also deeply concerning. The presence of rats in a dining establishment is absolutely unacceptable and raises serious questions about the restaurant's commitment to maintaining a sanitary environment. Given my experience, I believe it is essential to take action to address these issues. It is advisable to contact the health department and report the unsanitary conditions observed at The Stand. Customers deserve a safe and hygienic dining environment, free from any health hazards. The sight of rats openly roaming around the walls is not only repulsive but also poses a potential risk to the health and well-being of patrons. In conclusion, based on my personal encounter, I cannot in good conscience recommend The Stand in Encino. The disappointing food quality coupled with the distressing presence of rats highlight severe concerns regarding cleanliness and hygiene standards. I sincerely hope that the management takes immediate action to rectify these issues and ensure a safer and more enjoyable dining experience for future customers. Please remember that dining experiences can vary, and this review reflects my specific visit to The Stand in Encino. It is crucial to address these concerns promptly and consider alternative dining options in the area until the necessary improvements are made.

Great local place for burgers, salads and shakes. Family friendly and comfortable design. The service was a bit slow and not well organized with what should come out first or time the meals to all come out at the same time so that everyone has their meal at the same time. Some work needed with timing of food but will try them again.

Trash, expensive, wack, slow, inconsistent, boring, sucks, unqualified, dirty, low quality

We've been here a handful of times. It is the perfect place for a large group (if you have kids in your group especially). The short rib grilled cheese is indulgent. My oldest loves their burgers. My youngest loves their chicken bites. Fries came out piping hot! But what i most appreciate is that this restaurant is IN the community and supports the community. They hosted a fundraiser for a local Boy Scouts troop where a percentage of the receipts from all friends & family dining there were donated back to the troop. Not having to cook and benefiting the local pack?! Yes please! And the customer service has always been polite and friendly. We're going to stop by here more often knowing they are so very generous. Random note: they had letters up on the door tonight alerting customers to the fact that they were closing early for a company holiday party. Again, the owners and managers are taking care of the community and taking care of their workers. That speaks volumes! Thanks The Stand -Encino!!!

I had the cobb chop salad, french fries and a strawberry shake. The dining area was spotless and the staff was very nice and welcoming, they went to each table to check on us. Amazingly good, especially the shake (a must). The fries were crunchy and fluffy, I recommend to try it with the fire sauce and spicy honey mustard. Plus: they have a new watermelon mint agua fresca, it was AMAZING and so refreshing!

We always make sure to come here when we're in town and it never disappoints! We tried the hot cocoa shake today and it was amazing. Best burgers and shakes in town, and the service is always great!

Best burgers and fries in the area, and the service is always good! We have been eating at the Stand in Encino forever and love the amazing salads!!!

The Stand's outdoor seating is one of Southern California true pleasures. Bright colored tables in a leafy grove. Been bringing my grandkids here for a few years. Hamburgers, chicken sandwiches. Hotdogs, and today Cobb Salads. Tasty fountain drinks. Parking.

Let me start off by saying I love the stand great food and great service. For the first time yesterday while ordering through The Stand app for delivery because it was national hotdog day and notifications came up so I said why not but the hot dog that I got I feel was missing a good amount of cheese, tomatoes, and onions compared to every other time I ordered it, so today I came in to speak with the manager (Karla) and let her know my issue. She was very professional very nice and completely understanding and she took care of the problem and gave me another chili cheese dog for free. I hope the stand understands they have a good manager here at the Encino location in Karla just for reference these are the two differences in hot dogs.

Absolutely LOVE the Stand! My go to...the chili cheese dog or the ultimate egg burger!!! Normally I would have pictures attached to my reviews, however, I'm always eating before I remember! My favorite drinks are the cucumber melon and boysenberry lemonades. Both are equally satisfying, especially on these hot summer days and nights. Did I mention the onion rings?? Soooooooo gooD! The service is good as well. You're always welcomed with a "WELCOME" and a smile! If you're dining in, your food always comes out hot and fresh! And you're checked on periodically to see if you need anything. I likes that! One can always use an extra ranch dressing!! There are 3 seating options: inside (kind of small), kind of inside/patio, and outside/patio. If you have kids...outside is the way to go. If you want to get away from kids, inside is your bet!

Didn't have a great experience with the curbside ordering but my poor experience was acknowledged and made right. Thank you I do recommend the other location closer to topanga though.
