    EDIT: It's posted For Sale. We'll find out in a few months whether or not it reopens. Food and ice cream is always great. A year later and still great. (2018)

    It's always a good day when "The Stand" is open! Love the ice cream, the burgers are amazing and the service is always with a smile! Love the outside tables, too.

    We've been there several times for ice cream which is delicious and has big portions. This was the first time we ordered food. All of the burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, and hamburger buns were burnt and dried out. The fries were fine. We also let them know this was to go and they brought out all of the ice cream first about 15 minutes before the food so as you can imagine it was a melty mess. I'd return for the ice cream not so much the food.

    Little pricey, but totally worth it. The ice cream we had was very cool. It’s worth the experience. I wish I could’ve eaten more to try the other flavors

    We had the burgers and fries, the food was delicious and came out quick for being a small place. It tasted like the ingredients were fresh. The shakes/malts were excellent as well.
