"We had heard good things about The Stand but didn't feel like driving, so we ordered via DoorDash. Everything was delicious, even after drive time! I had the Southwest Chicken Sandwich and my husband had the ABC Burger. Both were juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked meat and perfectly toasted brioche buns. We also devoured an order of Sweet Potato Fries with ranch dressing...again, perfectly cooked. Lastly, we shared a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a Brownie. Both were soft and decadent, and a perfect end to our meal. It was excellent via DoorDash, and now we can't wait to try dining there as well. Great addition to Santee!"
"I love The Stand's Kids' Burger! It's the perfec size meal for me and I can get a Turkey patty. Cooked to perfection every time! The Stand fries are always perfect never greasy! Thank you for this option! Yummy lunch every time!"

"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"Chicken seasoned to perfection! They also cook the food to your liking which is important imo! They give you the option for fried soft or fried hard. Mac salad could be better and also it's a very small portion for a family to share, it literally comes in a sample cup so that's why it gets 4 stars"

"The food was great as always! I got the 3 piece chicken meal with all white meat. The meat was tender and flavorful. I love their house salsa! They didn't give me the amount I asked for, but they gave a close enough amount this time. One time, I ordered from here and they gave me 0 salsas when I asked for 10 of them. I usually try calling to see if I can talk to someone about the salsa before it's picked up, but it's extremely rare for the to answer the phone. I find this absolutely rude! There are several stores on Doordash that don't answer their phones. El Pollo Loco is one, Subway another and 7/11 is yet another one. It's totally ridiculous! It's horrible customer service. Well, at least the food was good. Lol!"

"Best breakfast I've had in a while. I ordered the sirloin tips and eggs. The steak was tender and I could cut it with a plastic knife, though not cooked to medium as ordered. It was prepared to a medium well. Everything was okay. I recommend buying real maple syrup for the pancakes. "

"What happened to the quality at Carl's? The chicken sandwich was just one thin long tender on a round bun. The Famous, usually a favorite, had soggy lettuce and no flavor. The CA classic was like rubber. The only bright side was the zucchini, which is always delcious. So much money for what amounted to junk quality food!"

"funnel cake fries were the best part, not just because they usually ate but because they were fresh. bacc9n on the sandwich was barely cooked. the chicken was chewy like it had been under a heater for the day. the chicken bites were good but only 4 tiny pieces (hardly would be enough for a kid if they weren't hungry and the fries were cold while all the other food was hot. usually, I like Rallys but this was dissapointing"
