    3/8/25 Was my first time there for a dinner date and comedy show, my wife loved it. Love the ambiance, food and drinks were great, not crazy expensive and customer service was top notch! As we were being seated for dinner, I told the staff we had tickets for a show and when time came, they escorted us to the Main Room and gave us priority seating! I will be on their website checking out the lineups from now on as The Stand will be one of my go to places to take my wife out for some good food, drinks and a few hilarious laughs!

    I really want to gatekeep this place but I just can’t. Definitely get more bang for your buck during brunch. I just hate that the staff seems so overworked during the brunch hours. Maybe one day I’ll try it for dinner.
