Went to The Stand in Century City for a quick lunch. I preordered and paid, it said 20 minutes or so to be ready. This was at noon, so 20 minutes to fill the order was fine. I understand that the lunch rush can be crushing. I head over and walk in about 10 minutes after I ordered and it was already on the Pick Up shelves. I am glad that I headed there quick or it would have been sitting for possibly too long to be fresh. I ate on the large and very clean patio. Maybe half the tables were taken. Plenty of seating there! The burger was very tasty, not really hot, but definitely not cold. Some of the juices had leaked on to the bun, had I waited longer, the bottom bun may have been saturated and hard to eat. But I picked it up in time. I got the Jalapeno Bacon Burger. Good flavor profile, with just a little bite to it. Enough for a small meal. I did see the salads there, and they are fairly large. I will probably get one the next time I go. The line moves quick, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and well decorated.

So good. I came in this week craving their sweet potato fries. Ask for them well done and they're extra crispy. The falafel wrap was amazing, so fresh, and all the homemade sauces were great. Couldn't forget their amazing brownie which was so chocolatey and gooey. Shout out to the team for working hard. It looks like they have a big carryout service, but I dined in and still got my food within a reasonable time. The manager Christian was especially helpful, letting me know my food would be out shortly. A+ Love this place, highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, but the cashier put the validation sticker over the tickets barcode even though I need to scan both and it ripped the barcode when I tried to peal the sticker off making it unscanable and I had to press the help button for help. Also parking was $30 with validation for the hour I was parked in the parking lot, which only makes me wonder how much would parking be without validation. So parking is terrible, the cashier doesn't know how the parking validation and scanners work, the general manager is very nice, and everything else is fine.
