The Stand — Restaurant in Seaside

Chicken Enchiladas!! Boy Howdy! Talk about a MEAL! So backstory...We're here in Seaside celebrating my Dad who has been DX'd with Cancer (he's still with us, BTW). I gathered his siblings and their families and we spent a week on the Beach! To make things easier, I ran out and brought food back to the AirBnB. I called The Stand...Can you do this huge meal thing, I ask...The guy on the phone was great! We show up and he had discussed it w the cooks, and they came up with a beautiful family style tray of enchiladas, rice and beans. So freakin' GOOD!! The chicken was lean and fresh and flavorful! The tortillas were absolutely filled the brim with it!! Slathered with sauce and cheese, with more sauce and salsa and pico to go!! (We ate on it for 2 days, and it only got better!!) The Guys were great! The food was Amazing!! And my Family was so impressed and happy! There's a reason these Guys are so highly rated and reviewed...Thank you to all the staff at The Stand! We're still talking...

A lot of people no longer carry cash, and if you're a business, you've got to find a way to accept cards. Technology has made it beyond simple to accept cards. This isn't 1995 when it was difficult and costly.

Editing: I did return months later as I had cash in my pocket. The food is actually pretty good. But businesses shouldn't go out of their way to inconvenience customers. Not with the easy-to-obtain technology that is available today. Thus, I am increasing my star rating from...

The food is always amazing at The Stand. I lived in Seaside for years and enjoyed eating there and now that I live in the Portland area, I plan my trips to the coast around their hours of operation, which is my only disappointment. When Joes announced his retirement, he sent out an email to long term customers. He announce his son, Eric, would be taking over the operation of the restaurant and mentioned extended hours and days of operation. For years the restaurant was open Mondays through Fridays. Now it is only open four days a week. With being open fewer days, it does make scheduling our trips to the coast to get our very favorite Me I an food a bit more difficult. However, when our schedule coincides with their days/hours of operation, you will find us there enjoying...
