What a fantastic venue for a rehearsal dinner! We had 21 people and had the patio to ourselves. The food was great – the chicken wing appetizers were a standout. All of the main course was delicious and plentiful. Mac and cheese, pulled brisket with homemade BBQ sauce, coleslaw, salmon, chicken, and amazing cornbread with honey butter. Dessert was awesome – a brownie platter with cookies and a carved watermelon overflowing with freshly cut fruit. Very attentive service – waters were kept full on a hot evening and drink orders were delivered quickly. Our party adjourned to the shed for the Welcoming Party where the staff relocated all the extra food for our additional guests. Our dedicated servers came with us. We stayed there for several more hours enjoying the band, drinks, and food. When the bill came Joy took the time to go over it with us in detail. Everything was priced fairly and there were no surprises. Planning the event with her was like working with a friend. It was a wonderful evening! I highly recommend The Stand.

Live Music on a Sunday night. Very lively inside at 7pm. A lot of parking but the lot fills up quickly. Two gender neutral restrooms so the line moves quickly even while busy.

Absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible! I had the pulled pork Sammy and it was amazing. We also had the pretzel sticks and the beer cheese tasted so good with it! The bands they book are also fantastic! I will definitely be returning!

Went here for dinner and music tonight. This used to be a really nice bbq/craft beer joint but it seems to have changed ownership and/or concept. The menus were uninspired and the food and drink were cheaply made. The burger was almost cafeteria-level. The service was really slow but once food and drinks finally arrived, we felt rushed by staff to turn over the table. The live music played country covers. The location and outdoor atmosphere are awesome and something really outstanding should be here, but it’s not to be found.

We recently held my mother’s retirement party at The Stand and could not say enough wonderful things about the experience. From the minute we reached out, Joy made the process stress-free and easy, working with me on our vision and then coming up with the perfect plan to execute. Day of, the team was thoughtful, attentive, and organized, curating an experience that was truly top notch for all (I was technically the party planner but was able to fully enjoy the day because everything was taken care of and thought of in advance). The covered patio space was perfect, even during this hot summer, and everyone had the best time. So grateful to Joy and her folks!

What a wonderful restaurant/Bar/Club. My wife and I were treated like family from the moment we walked in by owners Rob (Dickie) & Joy. If you are looking for a place to have an excellent meal (reasonably priced) , listen to talented musicians in a storybook setting and meet fun people than you must check out The Stand. We went back to back nights and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

The Stand is really fantastic. Live music, a beautiful indoor- outdoor space and good food. Last summer felt a bit crowded and young, this summer is a really nice environment – so fun to hang out, dance and listen to music. They just had the frikki tiki piano player last week, a really fun evening. Great sunsets, too.
