Service at the counter was great and the food too. Only problem was they were very slow to bus dirty tables and the floor had food scattered around. Not very appealing.

We stopped by The Stand in RSM and had an awesome experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, fast, and packed with flavor — but what really made the visit stand out was Tanner, our server.
Tanner was an absolute rockstar — super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and made great recommendations (you can tell he actually enjoys what he does). He checked in just the right amount, made sure everything came out hot, and even caught a small detail on our order before we did. You don’t see that level of service often these days!
If every visit had a Tanner-level experience, we’d eat here every week. Huge thanks to him and the team for making a casual burger stop feel like a 5-star outing.
