The Stand Arcadia Burger Shoppe — Restaurant in Phoenix

The staff here were great! Joe was easy to talk to when suggesting what I should order.

Not what I was expecting when pulling up to The Stand. From the outside, it seemed too hidden and a little shady with the high wood screens sheltering the outdoor eating area. However, when entering, it was bright, clean and airy. A little on the small side. It may be a nightmare to try and eat in on a weekend. But totally worth the wait on those busy days!

First, I tried my shortrib taco with Pico de Gallo. Delicious! Small but excellent compliment to my perfectly stacked burger with grilled onions! The burger even stayed together when eating it. So, I finished everything, burger, fries, and taco. Stuffed! Even with eating all my food I didn't feel greased out. That's a good thing.

One surprising thing was the people that work there came out to where I was eating to ask if everything was alright and if I needed anything. They do that for all their visitors. Not usual for a burger joint, but I'm glad they did! Nice touch Joe!

Next time I visit, I will still have the burger but ask for more house sauce in it, along with trying the remaining items on the menu.

5 stars for service, environment and presentation.

4 stars because my burger could have been better with more sauce and a less toasted bun. What can I say..... I'm saucy!

Nice job Joe! I will return just for your great service.

PS. There's...

I've been wanting to review this great little place for some time but never found the time until now. Let me start the review by starting with the owner (name omitted for privacy reasons)... I've met her several times while ordering, eating and I can only say the atmosphere and attitude of the employees most certainly reflects her wonderful demeanor. All things good start from the top and and I love seeing her when I go in because her glowing personality is contagious!

Now, on to the food - While the menu is short and to the point I always get "The Standard", which is their burger with cheese and I order the fries and Ice Tea. Everything is made in house, fresh and done daily. The hamburgers are the tastiest I've had and beat everyone's (in my opinion). I won't stoop so low as to even compare them to the oily, bun greasy hamburgers from In-N-Out as that would do a dis-service to The Stand.

The eating areas are quaint and you can choose from indoors or a nicely covered and cooled patio (that is very cool even in the summer) that is pleasant and makes eating with friends or co-workers a joy! While I have never had the tacos, my co-workers have and rate them high as well. This place is a must go and I don't see any reason why they can't grow to be a dominant force in the...

The burgers here are incredible definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had. The fries are delicious and crunchy and the stand sauce is phenomenal. The bacon and sautéed onions is a must. I also enjoy getting half strawberry lemonade / half regular lemonade from this location.

Gets a 4 star because they don’t allow call ins or pick up orders under $50 without paying ahead and I’ve been through the drive through multiple times now around 9:45pm on nights they close at 10 and they pretend to be closed.

If you’re going to be open till 10pm mon-thurs then serve people until 10pm. I’ve worked in service industry and I get you wanna clean up and finish your shift but if that’s the case then close at 9 or 9:30pm and serve all customers that come in before close.

I’ve also walked in with 30 mins to close and all the glass bottle Cokes were put up and the workers were all putting away things and cleaning up to close and no one greeted us.. it felt super awkward like should we take our business elsewhere since now it feels like we’re imposing when we are clearly here during your operating hours ? This should not happen and gives for a negative customer experience. Management / owner should work on this to take this place to the next level. Service,...
