The Stand - American Classics Redefined — Restaurant in Pasadena

😁 This restaurant was so nice we had to have it twice 😁

🌟 The customer service at The Stand was exceptional, especially from an employee who was remarkably attentive. They patiently answered all our questions about the menu items and portion sizes, making our dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

🥪 The sandwiches here are nothing short of amazing - stuffed to the brim, bursting with flavor, and so filling that we ended up splitting one. It’s a satisfying feast in every bite!

🍴 The menu has a delightful Southern twist, each dish topped with unique and tantalizing flavors.

🧀 The SHORT RIB GRILLED CHEESE was a standout - imagine double parmesan-crusted sourdough filled with chipotle & beer-braised beef, triple cheddar, bacon tomato jam, crispy onion strings, and hickory sauce. Pure indulgence!

🔵 On our second visit, we added blue cheese and grilled onions to our sandwich, and let me tell you, it elevated the taste to a whole new level!

🌱 Don’t even get me started on the RED GINGER GREEN BEANS - those blistered green beans dressed in red ginger dressing, topped with crispy onion strings and sesame seeds, were a flavor explosion.

🍋 Also, a shoutout to their amazing lemonade options - the Blueberry Lemonade & Cucumber Mint Agua Fresca are both refreshingly delicious and a perfect complement to any meal!

The Stand is a must-visit in Pasadena for anyone who loves hearty, flavorful food with a...

I've been here 3 times. Of the 3 times, 1 has been good, 1 has been ok, and 1 has been terrible. When they get it right, the food is tasty. When they get it wrong they really get it wrong. The terrible time, my order took 30 minutes to make a sandwich. When they finally produced said sandwich, it was the wrong sandwich. Additionally the quality of the wrong sandwich was pretty bad. Inequal distribution of ingredients and poor quality. I guess it's because I asked where my order was after 20 minutes of waiting. Then I was told it was almost ready, coming up. And then minutes later - disappointing. After giving a tip too. Nice..

UPDATE: Ok I'm sorry, but when someone leaves a response to your review telling you to fill out a form and give them your personal info, it kind of sounds like they're going to try and get in contact with you right? Turns out, THAT was a scam. I've never received any follow-up on the bad experience I referenced here, even after filling out their form and now it's been about 3 months. Not a "we're sorry", not a follow up call/email, not an offer for a free sandwich, not an offer for a full refund and a "hey we'll do better next time." Absolutely nothing! Kind of amazing. Don't fall for the free data grab y'all. I will definitely not be going back until I get some kind of response, and acknowledgement of the problem. Mistakes happen; being disingenuous...

Not much to say about this place. Nothing out of the ordinary that made me feel like it was different from any other burger spot. Burgers were good; I had the ABC burger with grilled onions and pickles with a side of onion rings. My wife had their signature burger which was really just a regular burger I believe it was called The Stand burger and my kid had a kids meal with chicken bites. Everything was pretty good.. onion rings were solid, chicken bites were pretty good and of course burgers were good as well. My wife did have sweet potato fries and they were probably the weakest item regardless still decent. What I did think was really cool was that they were not stingy with their sauces at all. Would highly highly recommend the fire sauce if you like spicy stuff. It was like a slightly bit spicier than your regular buffalo sauce but also packed more flavor. Took a cookie and a brownie home to try later and both were pretty good, but overall I would get the brownie again. Environment was pretty cool the spot seems like a community hang out location. Some people seem to just go in for a beer which is awesome I think. Kind of reflects the nice environment they have in there. Overall spot was cool. Don't see myself going out of the way to visit again, but if I was in the area I would probably swing by if I was in the mood...
