    Pros: The food is great. And if for some reason you have a bad meal there, they will refund you and ask you to please come back at their expense. Zack W. who I think is one of the owners is a communications genius! I'm glad they have so many stores, and they're even in other states now. Good for them, they really have a great menu and deserve to be successful. Cons: DIRTY. Ighhh, this isn't the only location that is absolutely filthy most of the time. I know the workers try, but they have to be faster about bussing tables and sweeping floors and using sanitizer on the table surfaces and chairs. You have to sit outside unless you want to feel cramped. The indoor seating is just not comfortable. I have had some REALLY bad experiences sitting at the tables inside near where the order counter is. They should seriously get rid of those tables and just make that an open space. God help you if you go there when there's a family with rambunctious kids (or, in my case, a kid who preferred to poach on my meal instead of talking to her own parents.) I felt like saying, "Hey Daddy, why don't you engage in some actual conversation with your own daughter rather than forcing her to ruin a stranger's meal?" The solarium area is a tad better - but I'd say the gravel patio with picnic tables is probably the best, although do you really wanna walk on gravel and sit at a picnic table?? The Woodland Hills location is all-around better than Encino. Whenever I go to Encino now, it's just for take-out orders. No more sitting. If I wanna sit, I go to W.H.

    I had a great experience at the Stand. I took my staff there for lunch today for the first time and the food was great, highly recommend the mushroom burger! The service was excellent Zyana was amazing. She was so pleasant, polite and curteous with a smile that could negotiate world peace! Making us all feel welcome and at home. Customer service is big for us, at our company it’s the highest priority so when we encounter stellar customer service we like to acknowledge it! Thank you Zyana! We will definitely be coming back for lunch often!
