I've been to 2 different Stands, and this one kicked butt. They have gluten free buns, rock on. Thank you very much. They have amazing veggies and the portion was HUGE! Maybe because we caught them at the end of the night? But all the food was great and they were super nice. Tons of choices so you don't even have to be a burger-eater.

There are moments when food hits you in the gut not just in the way that fills your stomach but in that deep, soul-satisfying way that makes you forget about the rest of the world for a moment. The kind of thing that you didn't expect to be good, but is so damn good, it haunts you. That's what this chili dog was. The bun? Soft, yet sturdy enough to hold its own under the weight of the toppings. No soggy nonsense here. It's toasted, but not too much. It's the kind of bun that knows its role: to cradle the dog without taking over the show. Now, the chili. God. This is the kind of chili that's been simmering for hours--rich, with layers of flavor that don't come from a can or a mix. It's got heat, but it's controlled. A deep, savory burn that doesn't hit you in the face, but lingers, a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the sausage. It's not too watery, not too thick just the right consistency to coat the dog without drowning it. Bits of tender beef, onions, and spices swirl through it like they're old friends catching up over drinks. The chili doesn't just sit there; it's alive. And let's not forget the finishing touch the shredded cheese, melting into the chili, the chopped onions, just the right crunch to cut through all that richness. It all comes together like a well-oiled machine--simple, direct, and unapologetically delicious. I'm not gonna overthink this. Sometimes, a chili dog is just a chili dog. But this one? This was a revelation. A reminder that even in the simplest of things, there's greatness. You can't fake this kind of goodness. It's the kind of thing you dream about, the kind you chase down when you're a little hungover or just need a quick hit of joy. And this one, this one is the chili dog you want when you want the world to stop for a second Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu

I hadnt been here in a minute but came in because of a BOGO coupon I got in the mail . Parking was easy, the store opened on time , and both of my sandwiches were made in a timely manner. I had the BBQ brisket one for lunch and the Ahi tuna one for dinner - both tasty - I'll be back soon !

I love The Stand! This location has been around for over ten years. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining, which is nice depending on the weather. I like the concept of ordering at the counter and having the food brought to you, which makes it perfect for groups. They also host school fundraisers where they donate a certain percentage back to the school. I ordered the Blue Burger and loved the blue cheese crumbles. I'm not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, so I swapped it out for another one, and it was perfect. We also got a kids' meal, which included one side. Everything at The Stand is à la carte, so if you want fries or a side salad, you need to order it separately.

I placed an order through the app and drove over to get it, my order was ready within 10 minutes! I had the chimichurri steak salad and the potato chips with guacamole. Both were delicious, the employees were welcoming and friendly! Restaurant is always clean and tidy, their patio is lovely.

This is a great restaurant that accommodates various diets. We had gluten-free, vegan, keto, and high protein diets. There were numerous options for everyone. The food was excellent and very customizable. They cut our burgers in half so we can share. The service was good. Felt a little fast foody. They did bring our food to our table, but I had to go to the counter to get ketchup. Service was ok, but there were a lot of people. The wait for our food wasn't long. Maybe 5 minutes. But don't expect a waiter or waitress to come by and refill your water. The ambiance was great. Very welcomey and family friendly. Went with a party of 5 and had no issues with seating. Had a great time eating and chatting. Would definitely recommend for date night or eating with friends.

It's been a number of years since my last review. Mostly because the Woodland Hills and Calabasas locations are closer to my home. We came to the Encino location because it is a better spot for meeting my daughter and son (who was coming with his dog - so the patio area was perfect). We ordered at the counter. Got our own drinks at the soda machine. The staff brings the food to the table as soon as it is ready (which is pretty fast). I ordered the Southwest Chicken salad ($13.75). Huge portion, tons of chicken. Delish. My wife got the chicken club sandwich ($13). Also delish. We shared a side of sweet potato fries ($4.60). Those were just ok. Wouldn't get them next time I am here. The patio is lovely. Tables are nicely spaced. Lots of trees to provide shade. A little bit of street noise from Ventura Blvd - but not a problem.

Every time I come to The Stand, I walk out feeling just a bit happier, which makes my day better. I attribute this to the excellent customer service skills of Brian(one of the managers). It is evident his primary goal is ensuring customer satisfaction. He always goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a good experience. I also always make these special, annoying requests for my sandwiches and he's never once got it wrong - impressive! In addition to the customer service, the food is consistently good. The bread is always fresh and perfectly toasted. They always use fresh ingredients from their tomatoes to their arugula. Today, we ordered the following items: Chicken club sandwich Grand Stand turkey sandwich Broccoli cheddar soup The chicken breast was perfectly prepared and well seasoned. I don't know what kind of spread they put on the bread but it elevated the taste of the sandwich. The turkey sandwich is equally good if not better. The sourdough bread they use is soooo good. They put just the right amount of ingredients so that no other ingredient overpowers another. The broccoli cheddar soup was really delicious. The cheese was gooey and it had the right amount of broccoli flavor. I always have a good experience when I come here. Make sure to download their app to earn points for free food.
