The House Burger was amazing. The large family style tables link like they would be great for watch parties for sporting events.

Excellent beer selection, knowledgeable staff. The range of beers on tap is awesome, everything from a domestic, to sours, IPAs and even several stouts! They curate the beer lost themselves and keep it fresh and interesting.

Parking: Easy to find parking.

we had enjoyed going to The Standard frequently ever since they opened, and even recommended it and shared positive experiences on social media. We liked it so much, that we overlooked the menu and recipe changes and the occasional outage of menu items. Up until our last visit, a couple of weeks ago, when our kids had been asking for weeks to go. They were very excited when we arrived and started running from table to table to pick our spot. We had just walked up to the counter and hadn't even started talking to the employee and the manager walking by said, "Your kids can't run around like that." I called them over and they immediately came and calmed down, never making a peep the rest of the visit, as they are all relatively behaved children. I have never had difficulty keeping them in line anywhere. That, combined with the now unreasonable pricing of basic menu items, has dettered us from wanting to return or recommending to others.

So, we finally made it to The Standard, the place that had been hyped up to the moon and back. We were excited to see the transformation from mechanic shop to eatery, but once we dove into the menu, our excitement started to deflate faster than a balloon on a cold day.
Let's talk about the food, shall we? I ordered the Cobb salad, minus bacon (because who needs that, right?), expecting a mountain of greens, avocado (my beloved avocado!), and all the fixings. Instead, I got a dainty little salad that seemed to have forgotten the avocado memo. And don't even get me started on the fried green tomatoes. For a whopping $5, I awaited my tangy, crispy, fried goodness. Instead I got three lonely tomatoes that seemed to have lost their flavor somewhere between the farm and my plate.
My sister and son had the chicken fingers, which were apparently "good" (according to them). But let's be real, chicken fingers are like the culinary equivalent of a comfort blanket. They're supposed to be good. The real question is: Were they worth the price tag that could have bought a small country?
In the end, The Standard was a bit of a letdown. While the atmosphere was nice, the food just didn't live up to the hype.

Got the pretzels and beer cheese. Pretzel sticks were slightly over cooked. Cheese sauce was gloopy not creamy like too much flour. My cob salad was served pre-made with dressing, something I was not expecting. It was ok but greens did not taste fresh.

Had seen this place several times while driving by and decided to give it a try. My first impressions from the walk in the parking lot was it looks new and is very nicely done. Inside it looks like an industrial building converted to a restaurant and huge indoor seating area. Ordered an Okie-style onion burger with a side of mac&cheese. Order came out in short time. Burger was cooked perfectly. The grilled onions, cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes were done right and this was a very good burger. The mac&cheese was creamy with a white cheese that complimented the burger. The interior was clean and very relaxing with big screen TVs on the walls. They also have outdoor seating in an equally nice and well maintained space. Was surprised how nice this place is and the have modern music playing in the background both indoors and outside.

Horrible!!! Tables dirty!!!! Floor sticky!!!! I guess costumer service isn't a priority, if this is a modern casual dining it's Horrible!!! I GUESS WASHING HANDS ISNT AN IMPORTANCE. Why are you paying and tipping first before you even eat???

I love the artificial grass but I wish they had more outdoor games or a fireplace.
