By the looks of the outside of The Stand, it's not very warming, at first glance. To me, it looked a bit run-down and I worried that the food would reflect my initial thoughts. Upon entering though, it was quite clean and welcoming! However, the place is ridiculously tiny, so the line was literally wrapping around the very limited places to sit. My friends and I arrived there around 11:40 and didn't get our order taken until after 12. We stood in line for over 20 minutes. I understand that it was lunch time on a weekday but what's the holdup with at least taking the order quickly so people don't have to awkwardly stand around. When I finally got up to the front to place my order, the cashier said "one moment" and then turned around and proceeded to package up a to-go order. She didn't turn around or acknowledge me for a good 5 or 10 minutes and just continued helping another customer. There were so many employees back there working on that one order. It all seemed quite chaotic. How about one person takes orders while another fills them?
Anyway, the food got to our table pretty quickly, which slightly made up for the awfully long wait. I got the chicken tacos and they were super messy with sauce. They tasted kind of plain though. Nothing spectacular. My friends both got burgers which looked pretty amazing so maybe that's where the specialty is.
All in all, I probably won't be going back unless it's for takeout.
