My friend invited me to you for lunch he recommended to short rib grilled cheese, and I also got fire price and the onion rings and the blueberry lemonade, it was tasty amazing experience. I really appreciate it.
The Stand has been a favorite since they opened in Woodland Hills and we are so happy to have on in Valencia!
All the unique house-made sauces are absolutely delicious and really set this place apart. The chicken club is a solid 10/10 and honestly the only thing I ever order. I keep saying I’m going to try something new, but my appetite always goes straight back to what I already know is amazing. The sweet potato fries are my FAVORITE. They’re not greasy, just perfectly cooked, and when you dip them into one of their house-made sauces, it takes the flavor to a whole other level

I went there today, and had a Stand burger with sweet potato fries, and I have to say, that I wasn't impressed. In fact, I was quite disappointed. First off, my burger was sloppily put together, making it nearly impossible to just pick it up to eat it, and in fact, the patty was broken in half, so as I tried to eat it, half of my burger fell out of the bun, and then the whole thing just became a disheveled mess. Moreover, it was just rather tasteless, if not bad tasting. The bun was pedestrian, the lettuce and sauce tasteless, and the burger itself just had an auroa of inferiority. It just didn't have a nice burger texture or taste. In fact, it had a rather off putting taste. The fries were mediocre, as well. A few in the batch were crispy and nice, but many were mushy and oily. It's not my first time eating at The Stand, both here and elsewhere, but it will by my last time eating at this location, as I left feeling completely disappointed and dissatisfied. I just didn't feel like I had a nice clean satisfying meal. I actually felt quite the opposite way. I left feeling rather disgusted that I'd just eaten there.
After visiting this place and seeing how things are handled behind the counter, I completely stopped coming here.
The same employees handle the cash register, work in the kitchen, clear trays, touch money, then immediately touch food with bare hands. I saw no hand washing in between, no gloves, and people wiping their hands on their clothes. Surfaces were wiped with visibly dirty rags. Overall, the atmosphere felt extremely unsanitary.
What made it even worse is that this is clearly a chain, and I’ve been to other locations of the same brand where everything looked completely different: separate staff for different tasks, clean counters, proper hygiene, and well-organized work. That only highlights how unacceptable the standards are at this specific restaurant.
This is by far the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had in terms of cleanliness and food handling. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for kitchen hygiene to be this bad.
I would strongly advise avoiding this location.
