I had the ABC burger, and it was delicious! There was plenty of avocado, and it was cooked exactly how I asked. I also got a regular sized portion of the mac and cheese for a side. It did not disappoint. I was very satisfied with my meal, but for folks who have a bigger appetite I'd recommend spluring for another side if you're going to stick with the regular size portions. I will for sure go back to try the sweet potato fries!
Oh my gosh, this place is so good! We came here on a whim after my brother’s baseball game and what a find! The burgers, salad, and fries we got were amazing! But, my absolute favorite was their onion rings with their house made ranch! It was to die for 😋
Stand burger and ABC burger for our first visit to the stand and we were not disappointed. Food was typical heavy burger joint type but very full of flavor and filling. The sweet potato fries were so good!! Shakes are old fashion ice cream shakes and super tasty. Was happy to see the fountain drink dispenser had flavors of Coke Zero I didn’t know existed before. We will be coming back for another go around soon👍🏼
Second time visiting this location and once again the food was yummy! And the young lady Karlie took my order. She was very polite and friendly. I was unsure what to order and Karlie took the time to go over the menu and recommend some tasty selections. It was clean and smelled good, great place to hang out and enjoy yourself.
Went here randomly by googling burgers nearby and boy were we pleasantly surprised. It was nice and clean, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff, and delicious food. They were on the pricy side but offer complementary sauces/dips and delicious pickles. I ordered a kids meal, two burgers, fries, and onion rings. The kids meal doesn’t come with a drink which is a bummer but it was okay. I got a bottle of water for about $3 more(which was more than o was told before I paid) and then purchased a fountain drink. Got complementary fries for signing up for the rewards program and app. Food took about 12-15minutes to make from the time we paid. My daughter loved the hot dog. The portion sizes were decent. The flavor on the burgers were one of a kind .. truly. I feel bad because I didn’t get the woman’s name that assisted us, but she had beautiful lashes, unique tattoos, and gorgeous lashes. Super friendly. Only con is she gave me the wrong price for the kids meal water add on The only con was the price. With everything being à la cart, it got pricey quickly for a burger joint. You’re looking at about a $20 lunch if you keep it basic.
This place honestly redefines what a classic burger joint should be. They nail the fundamentals perfectly—the burger has a great taste, juicy with just the right amount of char, and the ingredients feel fresh and high-quality. It’s not trying to be overly complicated; it’s just solid, delicious American food executed well. The brioche bun holds up, the flavors are balanced, and you leave feeling satisfied rather than weighed down by grease. If you want a reliable, great-tasting burger in a good atmosphere, this is the spot. Highly recommended.
We went in for a quick late meal because we love this place and because we had a coupon. Our service was friendly and our food came out in a timely manner. We did have an issue with our fries not being as fresh as we are used to, but we asked for replacements and we were taken care of immediately. We enjoyed our meal and truly love coming to this establishment.
I tried The Stand – American Classics Redefined in Irvine and honestly, I’m still thinking about the food. The French Onion Soup Burger absolutely stole the show. It’s rich, messy in the best way, and packed with flavor — the caramelized onions, melty cheese, and that crispy, cheesy bun just work so well together. It’s one of those burgers you don’t forget and would go back for specifically. The onion rings were just as impressive. Perfectly crispy on the outside, not greasy, and great for sharing (or not). They’re the kind of onion rings you keep reaching for without realizing it. The whole place has a relaxed, modern vibe, and the menu does a great job of upgrading classic comfort food without overdoing it. If you’re into burgers that actually feel special and sides that deliver, The Stand is 100% worth checking out. I’d go back in a heartbeat just for that French Onion Soup Burger and a fresh order of onion rings.
I took my granddaughters out for lunch on our way to California Adventure, and we had such a wonderful experience at this spot! It was our first time dining here, and I have to say, everything was fantastic! The burgers 🍔🍔🍔, salads 🥗🥗🥗, fries 🍟🍟🍟, and hotdogs 🌭🌭🌭 were all just perfect. The staff were super friendly, and you could really taste the freshness of the food. Their hotdogs 🌭🌭🌭 were definitely top-notch quality! And let’s not forget the chocolate chip cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪 and brownies—both were delicious! We truly enjoyed our lunch and can’t wait to come back!
Went here for a quick and rather random lunch today. I was pleasantly surprised to find a more American menu. Thankful to have found this neat spot in Irvine. The outside is not illustrative of the great dining area indoors.
