Grandstand Burgers

I'm so glad they had an online order option, so we got a kids meal and a combo meal to go.

The kids meal was actually nearly the same size as the adult meal. Burger bun is soft, the meat tasted perfectly grilled, and ingredients fresh. One of the better burgers, and I think it was because the bun was so simple and soft.

Unfortunately the camera didn't eat at all during this meal, so I have no photos. But that's when you know it's a good meal

I chose this burger stand because I like hole in the Wall restaurants. usually their food is good. The burger was delicious but needed more seasoning kinda tasted like nothing Lol. Fries were banging!!! Nice crisp not mushy for the price the burger was on the small side.(you could get a bigger and better tasting burger from Denny's) frfr first time try and last time trying

After a two and half year hiatus, we're back at it again! Like last time, we ordered takeout and here are my thoughts:

Get cozy: You cannot dine in as it's a very small place. It's ideal to come when the weather is favorable and eat outside. Hubby and I went to a park down the street to eat our food. If you plan on driving more than a few minutes to eat, you may disappointed. They make everything to order and they have a high influx of phone and online orders, so you will be waiting a while to get your food. Oh and parking is not it.

Salt and pepper??: The burgers were under seasoned and the fries did not have any salt or pepper. The food was hot and fresh, and the buttered bun had good flavor. The burgers were thick and juicy and they were generous with the toppings and condiments so that is a plus. Our meal altogether was $30 even. 4/10

Ghost condiments: It would have been nice if they included a few ketchup packets in the order. That would have at least helped the flavor of the fries. 0/10

Don't be stingy: We also ordered a side of onion rings to share, and needless to say, they were over cooked. There were not enough for two people and I guess we needed to do a double order of onion rings. Glad I didn't though since they were borderline charred. 1/10

A hairy situation: I found a blonde hair in my food container......-10/10

Overall: 5/10: The burgers were a hefty size but lacked flavor and I did not like finding the hair in my container. The fries were crispy but had zero flavor what so ever. The ladies at the counter were pleasant and had our food ready when we arrived. I can see why it's taken us over two years to come back. If you are wanting a decent-sized yet flavorless burger that you can eat right then and there, this is the spot. Otherwise, there are better options.

i'm not gonna lie the food was pretty good, but if you're gonna go here, I would consider the service. The short, blonde haired cashier was extremely rude. I think A cashier at a restaurant should be welcoming and polite you shouldn't get upset when someone ask you for ketchup to go with their meal she definitely had an attitude and did not hear one please or thank you come from her mouth. I won't be bringing my business back to this establishment

(10th review of 2022)

Wifey & I love supporting old school mom & pop local diners. We were hoping to find a good burger joint that would satisfy our old school cravings. Unfortunately this place isn't quite what we expected. It took about 50 minutes for our food to be ready. If you're in a rush, this isn't the place to come. The food is made to order & they do A LOT of phone & online orders. They jus called number 9 on the outside intercom & we were number 12. The cashier was nice & waited for us to order. After we paid she then told us they were "a little backed up" on the orders. Ok, so wifey & I thought "a little" meant 15-20mins ish. Boy were we wrong! Not even sit down diners take 50mins to make your food. Granted this place has a pretty small kitchen.

Wifey ordered the $6.00 fish sandwich with $4.75 Spicy Deep Fried Cauliflower & a side of $4.75 spicy green beans. The cashier said the sandwich came with lettuce & a side of tartar sauce. Wifey didn't receive tartar sauce, but they put a side of ranch dressing. Tasted like store bought ranch dressing. The spicy fried green beans was a bit soggy & what tasted like Franks Red Hot sauce poured over it. The cauliflower was supposed to be spicy too, but they didn't put the "spicy" sauce on it. Wifey was glad they didn't. Her fish sandwich looked like a frozen battered fish patty that was barely a 1/4" thick. No flavor to it or any of her sides. The fish sandwich had a small piece of lettuce that was pretty wilted & sad looking. She was pretty disappointed about her meal. I ordered the $11.50 Bacon Double Cheeseburger with all the fixings minus the tomato & the $3.50 tater tots. The 2 pcs bacon was super thin along with the onions and the pickles. There was only a few thin slices of onions & pickles. The burger was nice & a little thick hand made patties, but lacked flavor & was a bit dry/overcooked. The tots were extra crispy, but pretty greasy. I couldn't finish my burger cause it was too dry & tots were too greasy.

Total for our order was nearly $40 with tip. Would I come back? Meh, probably not. There wasn't anything that stood out for us to. Maybe you have to eat it right then & there & not drive barely 10 mins home to eat. Our search for good tasting old school burgers is still ongoing. No A Hui Hou here.

ps. I saw other reviews that gave 1 star reviews jus because of the political signs, but I don't. I review on service & the food. I did ask the cashier when we finally picked up our food if the political signs on the grassy area in front were theirs, she seemed excited & grinned as she said why yes they are! Ohhhkaaay.

FPO was craving a burger from a "mom and pop" kind of place. We'd passed Grand Stand Burgers previously and bookmarked it in Yelp. The reviews were great so we decided to try it. So disappointed. We got there about an hour before the closed, the parking lot was packed, and there were people everywhere waiting for their food. It looked like a good sign so we went in. The people inside were really nice, friendly and helpful which is why I'm going with two stars instead of one.

We placed our order and were told because they were so busy it would take a little while. I should have asked how many minutes is a little while. Fifty-five minutes later, after much people watching, seeing a fender bender in the parking lot, and reading several political signs that we later found out belong to the restaurant we got our food and got out of there.

FPO had a double bacon cheeseburger minus the tomato that was apparently flavorless enough to leave part of it uneaten and tater tots that looked like they were fried twice. I got a fish sandwich that reminded me of the sandwiches from the cafeteria in elementary school except the cafeteria food probably rates higher on quality. The fish was one of those frozen squares you can get at Costco and there was no seasoning to it at all. Plus it was dry and the lettuce definitely looked like it had seen better days. I got the Spicy Fried Cauliflower in place of french fries. I'm glad they forgot the spicy part because I also got the spicy fried green beans and the "spicy" tasted like Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Anything fried then doused in a liquid hot sauce just turns into a soggy mess. So, I was grateful that even though the writing on the top of my box said spicy cauliflower, they forgot the Frank's. Everything I had was also cold. I understand taking food to go things cool down by the time you eat. This was beyond that. My food was cold. I could've given them benefit of the doubt on my fish and vegetables because this is a burger place and that should be their specialty except that even FPO's burger was unimpressive. It was still a little warm though, so that was somewhat of a positive. Beyond the nice people at the counter there is nothing about Grand Stand Burger that inspires me to try them again.

Really want to like this place but the burger is bland and, at one-third lb., too big for me, even if it were delicious. Tots were crispy and they offered a commercial-grade creamy horseradish sauce (among others) for dipping. Since they serve Pepsi products (yuck) I asked them to make a root beer shake and it was good. Nice folks. Not too much road dust from busy intersection feet from your table. Nostalgic but not a satisfying expenditure of nearly $20.

This is by far the best burger in the metro area.
The only thing that can use improvement, is the rude woman who takes call ins , and rings you up. There is no reason to bark at people, and there is such a thing as phone manners.

My husband and I were in the area at a local dealership and I found this place online. We were intrigued and stopped by. OMG!! The portions are HUGE! The prices are great for what you get. We had leftovers to bring home. I had the fried spicy green beans and fire cracker burger. Hubby had the Kelly with fried mushrooms. Cannot find a place near where we live that serves decent mushrooms, but also gives you enough that you don't feel over charged. Keep doing a great job!! Angie K.

Went here for lunch because coworkers raved about how good it was. Literally one of the worst burgers I've had. Tasted like the beef patties and bun had been in the freezer for days. This thing was as dry as could be. $13 too! Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else.
