I haven’t really shopped that much here, so this review is on the restaurant part. Not gonna like, the only thing I’ve had are a couple of their burgers. Which were pretty amazing. And filling! Tender and grass fed beef were a plus as well. A little on the pricey side but I felt it was worth it.

The taqueria is awesome. There really should be a separate entry for the taqueria because the grill is pretty good but not as great as the taqueria. Very authentic tacos. Reminiscent of being in Mexico City. Steak tacos are the best.

The food is amazing here! I love everything on the menu and so does my boyfriend. We come here all the time and it’s always the same great quality. Only reason this isn’t a five is that our order has been messed up more than a couple times, and it is a pain to go back for the credit. Other than that, amazing place for a bite that’s fresh and homemade.

Nice place and definitely a unique take on fusing a restaurant together with a market. The food was delicious I only wish the had a larger menu. The service was ok, but we didn’t see anyone ever again after our food was delivered. I would have at least one check to see if we needed anything.

In bed with food poisoning from SMG chicken for the second time in 2 months. The last time I got it, my neighbor was poisoned by their Asian Chicken salad the same week. Never gotten sick from their non-chicken items, and generally good food. Just steer clear of getting chicken for take out.

Went for mothers day. We were seated right away because half the place was empty. My pomegranate mimosa was great. Hubby was disappointed wit the bloody mary which was obviously from a bottle pre mix. They doll it up with a charcuterie on a stick but the bloody mary itself left a lot to be desired. I have a slight obsession with short ribs and was SUPER excited for the short rib hash! It was pretty disappointing. The small bits of beef in the hash were not very tender. The potatoes seemed like they were either dehydrated and re-hydrated or had been previously frozen. The biscuits on the side were pretty flavorless. Hubby had the steak and eggs. Meat was though and chewy. It didn’t have much flavor other than the brown sauce poured over it. He ordered eggs over easy and they were served sunny side up. We were never asked how the food was or if we wanted more drinks. Overall mediocre service and bland food.

I was fairly underwhelmed by this place. It’s one of those pretentious places that feel they can charge you crazy prices for fairly basic, bland food because they use fresh this and fresh that. Pizza was subpar and reminded all of us of Sbarro mall pizza. Fries had no flavor or seasoning and most were so small I could have eaten them with a spoon. All of our sandwiches were just okay. We all agreed that it’s not a place where, now that we tried it, we ever have to go back.

My hubby and I got food poising from this place on 4÷9÷16. The ONLY meal we ate the entire day was here. I had soup, a cup, my hubby a few spoons of it. He was not as sick as me so we found the source easily. I however was not as lucky and had a trip scheduled. My hubby called and they were rude and didn’t even consider to hear him. Thanks for making me hate your store. Also for ruining a trip to London, you suck!

This is one of my favorite places to eat lunch. All the food is fresh and delicious. I have been coming here with my wife and kids for a long time. My wife is crazy for the burgers here. I’m crazy for the coleslaw, beer or coffee, and whatever else is on the menu. Oh and there’s no tipping! Order, pay, sit down, and enjoy!

The food here is almost always good — The honey mustard with the sweet potato fries is key. I usually stick with the sandwich/burger selection and have only been let down once. I saw the addition of the Grilled cheese with brisket and in theory it sounded good. I found myself removing some of the fat from the brisket before I ate it because there was a bit too much for my taste. I will probably just go back to my usual items next time I go.

I have to say that this spot was great! it is the cutest grocery store with a restaurant and also a small bar area. They have a great selection of items and some interesting/unique wines and other fun grocery stuff. It’s bright and the staff is really friendly. I wish I had one near me! Worth a visit and the food looked amazing, so next, time, I definitely want to have a meal or snack there.

The Cube restaurant at Standard Market is a real winner with a great selection of beers on tap, a wide selection of sandwiches and platters of cheese and charcuterie ! But you have got to try their Togarshi Salmon and a really super Umami seared Ribeye! Plus you can pick from over a 1000 bottles of wine and they will serve you with no corkage!

my friends love this place but I only go when I cant think of any other place to go eat. The food — burgers, buddabowl, salad — is all A-OK material.

If I could give zero stars I would! I got a tuna cobb salad to go. I called 20 minutes away I came in and paid my food wasn’t ready again all I ordered was a salad. Shopped around the store came back and still had to wait another 10 more minutes. When I got home I realized my salad was missing ingredients and the tuna was cooked well. Disgusting! Pictures are included. The meat looks like chicken not tuna!!! Awful awful awful experience!

Are you looking for good wine with beautiful ambiance? then, this place is for you!!! Always crowded with the people in love with food and wine. Interior is something to be noticed, staff is humble and polite, good food and quick service. I had Balsamic Chicken sandwich with fries as sides. The portion was too big for one person and chicken was very tender. This place is a must visit…

As a last meal before flying back to California for the summer, my classmates and I met at SMG for lunch. Since we were a group of six, we tried waiting for a table at the restaurant area but realized that we could sit near the bar and they could bring the food to us without us having to wait for a table to clear up. We ordered food and in less than ten minutes, most of the food came out! The service is super fast and attentive. I ordered the Super 7 salad and it reminded me of a cole slaw of some sort with a piece of salmon. For the price I was paying, I was hoping for a bigger piece of salmon but overall, the salad is super filling and I felt really healthy after. All my friends enjoyed their food thoroughly. Overall, this place offers very healthy choices of food but since it is quality food, this price is a bit higher than normal. I would recommend this place for an office lunch since it is spacious and it offers a wide variety of food selection.

I’m shocked that I haven’t reviewed this place already. I love Standard Market and the grill is great also, however, the past couple times I’ve come, it’s a hit or miss. It always seems to be extremely crowded and that’s in the winter, just imagine the summer lol. Since I’ve started going there, they’ve changed how they seat people or maybe I just go when it’s not crazy busy. I suggest not going on a Friday around lunch. We had to take a pager and wait 20 min. I wish you could order your food while you were waiting, but they don’t let you. We luckily ended up sitting at the bar, but I would do that again. The service was fast once you got your food. The BLT minus the avocado had great taste, but was extremely messing wow! Crumbs everywhere and I’m not a messy eater, just very flakey bread. Also, their fries are not that good. However, the sweet potato fries are good. If your into that. I will have to say, my favorite thing on the menu is their pizza. It is great! I would go just for that! They gave us brownies at the end for waiting so long and that was the best part of the meal! Yum!

Visited for lunch the other day and I was pretty impressed. The Grill is inside of the grocery store, but off on the side to its own. They have a large seating area with lots of tables and it looks like they have an outdoor patio for the summer too. It wasn’t too busy when I went but I heard it can get pretty packed during the lunch crowd. The menu is comprised of burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza and some other things. I went with a Chicken sandwich called the Italian Job and it was delicious. You get to choose a side of fries or salad as well. You can opt for a soft drink, but they also have complementary water and fruit water. The service was quick and friendly. The quality of the food is reason enough to try if your in the area and I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items. It is a little on the pricier side. Side note, take a walk around the grocery store too, its pretty impressive.

You can always count on Standard Market to dish out solid some solid dishes. I have already came here three times. Three. Satisfying. Times. The food is great, the price is right, what is there not to like? This place is just short of my five star stamp. It simply did not serve the best thing I have ever ate. Well, it will be more and more likely the more I eat here, because sooner or later, I will order something is so good that it is going to melt my brains out. Now, expect to pay over $ 10 dollars for the majority of their dishes. You pay at the counter and a waiter brings out the food to your table. I never had to wait a terribly long time for the food even if they are very busy(which happens fairly frequently). Summer time is a great time for enjoying your meal outside in the shade. I personally recommend some sort of baked chicken. It is on the pricier side of their menu but I really enjoyed it. I haven’t seen it on the menu for the past two visits, but I’ll definitely get it the next time I see it. Oh… you always get a nice surprise brownie at the end with your check. Makes you almost enjoy paying for your meal. TLDR: solid food

Think café style food but elevated to a whole ‘nother organic food level. Located in Standard Market, the café is located immediately to your left upon entering. Very spacious dining area with easy navigation and clean decorations. After all, how your home looks = how you look = how your food tastes. Their food is fresh. No guilt trip after eating here! Expect $$ for lunch. 1. Baker’s Dozen. Steak was tender. The salad isn’t overdressed. Lots of variety/toppings in this salad. 2. Tuna Cobb Tuna is perfectly seared(rare in the center). The vinaigrette adds a good acidic touch to the salad. 3. The Grill Club Club sandwich is a decent sandwich. Fries are crisp and salted well. Overall, I would definitely come again.
