"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!"

"It was so delicious. I will ordering it again soon so I can do a review on tiktok. It was flavorful, yet not over powering. Even though the burber was well done, it was still juicy. The cheese was melted perfectly with the right amount of sauce, and mushrooms. The bacon I ordered on the side truly shined on it's own on the burger, but so did everything else. They all worked well. "

"SOOOOO good and they gave me extra chicken! the fries were kinda cold when they came but tbh it was still rlly good my go to order frfr "
"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."

It was the perfect portion and was delicious. If it was the full price I may have passed for another item on the menu but will d we'll definitely get this again with other side options they're all yummy! "
"The steak had more fat and grizzle than meat. The sides were good. Just disappointed with the steak. Spent over $100.00 for dinner and it was not worth it. I do appreciate them for separating the shrimp because of my shellfish allergy."

"This was best meal I have ever had from Outback. Sunday a 9:30 pm order too! Everything was delicious and perfect! The steak seasoned perfectly and has a wonder char on the outside. It cut with a butter knife so easily. The wedge salad had ample onions, blue cheese chunks - it was delicious. The potato had plenty of my requested toppings, lots of chives, the extra sour cream i clicked and plenty of butter. I ate every morsel. It was worth every penny and then some. Kiss the Chef. It all arrived still hot as well "
"Mushy broccoli again. This is the tiniest 6 oz sirloin I've ever seen and my dad and I order from Outback once a week. The steak is very tough and chewy this time. But I chanced it with the cheap Outback Center-Cut Sirloin* rather than the much more expensive ribeye, New York or filet. But we do actually share a 6 oz steak and shrimp and scallops and it always seems like a nice enough meal. Tonight was not the night. The meal was alright. "
