Run, don't walk, to The Stand at Hughes Landing in The Woodlands! Yum, yum, yum!!!
The menu has a long list of American fare - from salads, to sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and traditional sides. To be honest, I'm usually very hard-impressed with this sort of food, since you can get it just about anywhere these days... aka: I can be a bit of a food snob. But man, this place really hit the spot!
Legit, some of the BEST sandwiches/burgers on this side of town. I devoured my Short Rib Grilled Cheese; braised in chipotle & beer, smothered in bacon jam, inside parmesan crusted sourdough... Insanely good! Also worth mentioning are the Coffee-Toffee milkshake topped with Heath bars and the hands-down most perfectly crispy, crunchy golden onion rings I've ever had! Like, OMG. *Drooling*
I'm sure my waistline is scolding me, and I probably need to watch my sodium & sugar intake for the next week, but it was worth it! Definitely a "cheat" meal sort of thing... But, your taste buds will do a little happy dance.
Now, I will admit that service during this first visit was rather slow, and some of the employees seemed confused & flustered. In their defense, the establishment is new & just opened, and growing pains are to be expected. The Stand does have an upbeat & enthusiastic vibe, so hopefully they only get better. That being said, the food is so dang good it could prove to be very successful & popular from their product alone.
I know for certain we will be back!!!
*Some other cool mentionables;
- The patio is dog friendly, so feel free to bring your pups! This always equates to bonus points from me & my furbabies!
- There is plenty of seating, with a good number of tables & seats, and most of them offer a good view of the TV's, so you can enjoy a football game with your bite.
- The self serve beverage station offers fountain drinks plus agua fresca and fresh lemonade.
- For the pickle lovers (like me), you can grab as many cold, crunchy dill pickles as you'd like from the ice tray by the cash register.
