"The Crazy Fries arrived quickly and were quite substantial. These are spiral-cut potato wedges topped with bacon, pulled pork, cheese sauce, grilled jalapeños, cilantro crema, and salsa. They were absolutely delicious and filling enough that we could have made a meal just out of them. Next came the California Orchard Salad, which was a delightful mix of green apples, grapes, oranges, strawberries, celery, almonds, cranberries, avocado slices, mixed greens, and blue cheese crumbles. Since I was sharing the salad with my husband, who isn’t a fan of blue cheese, we requested the cheese on the side. We were also given a selection of dressings to try. Honey mustard is our favorite, but there was also an avocado dressing, among others. To make sure we both enjoyed the salad, we asked for honey mustard and avocado dressing on the side. We were glad we did, as the avocado dressing wasn’t to our liking, but the honey mustard paired beautifully with the fruit in the salad. When our BBQ combo plate arrived, we were impressed by the generous portions of brisket and three substantial ribs, accompanied by both cornbread and garlic bread. Unsure which to try, we opted to pay a little extra for both types of bread. They came out grilled with a side of butter. The garlic bread was decent, but the cornbread was a standout—especially with its caramelized edges from the grill. We sampled several BBQ sauces from the caddy and found that we liked the Apricot Chipotle and Smokey BBQ best, even though the meats were flavorful enough on their own. Delicious! Lastly, we chose roasted Brussels sprouts for our Market Side, and it was an excellent choice. They were crispy, light, and tasty. We were very glad we stopped for an early dinner, and we even took home leftovers for lunch the next day!"

"This is the first time going to Standford's since coronavirus and since they stopped participating in Landrys club. First, I found it interesting that we were seated in the very back of the restaurant this was lunch time and the place was not busy at all, and were sat tables away from a party of about women. It's true we were feet away, but the recent updates about dining inside a restaurant is that it still could be too close since once seated, masks are not required. So it would have been better if we were sat in a completely different area since there were plenty of other tables available not so close. I understand this would make the servers walk further, but it is worth that effort. Second, I was surprised that the lunch menu consisted of choices of soup and a couple choices of sandwiches. We could have ordered off the regular menu but that would mean spending at least per person, and for lunch that is just not feasible for me. So we ended up ordering soups halfsandwich combinations. One sandwichsoup was the other The soup was a bowl and very big, and very tasty. We had the smoked salmon chowder. The sandwiches were both delicious. The price seemed high for a sandwich and soup, but it was filling.....and we split the orders ways. We did ask for an extra plate so we could share, and we were told it would cost just for the plate. We didn't ask the chef to split anything for us, we were going to split it ourselves, but still the server said they now charge crazy! So instead of paying for an empty plate, we paid for an extra cup of chowder, which came in a bowl, on a plate! So we got the plate we needed, and since there were of us eating, the third person was able to have their own chowder. The cup was very tiny though, compared to the huge bowl that came with the soup sandwich combo. We will probably not return to Stanfords since for the same money for dinner we can go to Stone Cliff and have a view"
