  This is a place that I and everyone in the group will definitely come back because all the food was wonderful as was the service.

  Cold buns? It was our second time here, I ordered the standard cheeseburger medium well. It came and the buns were cold and cheese barely melted. It’s the second time this happened, I don’t understand if cold buns are expected? They toasted my kid’s cheeseburger buns though. Regular fries are okay. Doubt I’ll be back seeing how I got cold buns on a burger twice. For the price I’d prefer to go to in-n-out.

  The Stand definitely represents L.A. food and customer service. If you're a SoCal native that now lives in the Bay Area and you're missing a little taste of L.A., then you need come down to this spot. And, if you're a Bay Area native, then you'll want to try these items: 1. Must have on your first visit: The Short Rib Grilled Cheese—it's foodgasmic. 2. Try on your next visit: BBQ Brisket on a Pretzel Roll—satisfaction. 3. At some point try: The French Onion Soup Burger. I think the soup lacks a bit of spice, but for it being a fast-food-onion-soup it's good and pairs well with the burger. It's a super creative idea. 4. The Fire Fries are thee bomb. You're brain will think you need ranch on the side, but trust me you don't. The fries are just fine on their own. It's the best side you'll want with your burger. 5. The Thai Iced Tea Milkshake will make you want to keep sippin' for more. The taste of Thai Iced Tea is present: it doesn't shy away. Here is what I don't recommend: 1. The Big Blue burger. I love blue cheese, but the combination of blue cheese and BBQ sauce didn't work for me. I barely tasted the BBQ sauce, which made me think, "At that point, don't add it." 2. The Red Curry Chicken Sandwhich. Unless you really enjoy the strong taste of ginger, don't try this special. 3. The Chili Fries are decently good, but it's not something you'll crave and want to come back for. 4. The Mint Chocolate Crunch Milkshake. I liked that the mint flavor was not overwhelming, but I also ordered a Thai Iced Tea Milkshake and the Thai Iced Tea Milkshake outshined the Mint Chocolate Crunch. I will say that the chocolate cereal puffs make it more enjoyable, but a milkshake shouldn't need toppings to be great. Enjoy!

  Best burger we've had in a long time! We ordered the ABC burger and a build your own. Both perfectly cooked with generous toppings. The fries were great too. Oh, when you go, be your own best friend and order yourself an oreo and strawberry shake. It was heaven! Service was top notch, helpful, friendly and upbeat. This San Jose spot has earned a spot on our permanent rotation.

  An amazing variety of food options from all American chili dogs to a vegetarian falafel wrap that is fantastic. Huge salads, and burgers that you can switch up the protein on. A little noisy on a busy Friday night, but not painfully so. The Stand is now a regular on our eat-out rotation!
