Central Standard

My favorite dishes were the oysters and the Banoffee tres leches dessert. The entrees we ordered were the Prime Rib and the Market Fish. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly, paired nicely with the horseradish cream sauce and had a nice crust. The issue I had with it was that they put a sauce on top of the prime rib which I felt was overkill. A simple aus jus would have worked. The potatoes and brussels sprouts that came with it were great. The Market Fish was Black Drum fish which was a nice tasting white fish and came with green beans, peppers and cashews. It was decent tasting, but it's not amazing and I probably wouldn't order again. The fries were nothing out of the ordinary, but the fry sauce was great and was Dijon mustard based. Overall, it was a decent dining experience, but I wouldn't order the same meal again.

Good food as you’d expect. For brunch I ordered the deviled eggs appetizer with chow chow topping, which was different and delicious. My main was their take on an English breakfast with a couple of eggs some blistered cherry tomatoes, some sautéed mushrooms, and two small pieces of toasted bread. For $16 it was a little lackluster. The drink are also outrageously $$$$. All in all good. Can’t beat the SOCO area ambiance either.

Excellent experience! Very convenient location on S Congress, which is great for walking up and down. The menu is a bit all over the place but my party of 5 really enjoyed the food. They even have octopus on the menu! It’s not your typical Texas BBQ but is welcome to a wide variety of foodies. They do not have your typical Mac-n-cheese and chicken fingers so I wouldn’t recommend for picky kiddos. Overall, 9/10 would recommend.

We really enjoyed our brunch. The oysters were amazing and the food all around was good. Our waitress missed a couple things....never brought another water glass (we were 1 short), food item got forgotten....but she was very friendly. We had a friend with some allergies and she was patient and worked with her to figure out food options. Overall though we were pleased.

Good food and great service! I wish the draft beer selection list was a bit more extensive, but they do have some good choices. Smoked nuts as an appetizer and then I ordered a sloppy veggie 🍔 with fries. Wife got a side salad 🥗. The COVID menu is a limited but I love the nice cool vibe of the outside patio.

First time visit Central Stanard. Visited on a Saturday for brunch and did not need a reservation luckily. There is a parking garage close by making it easy to park. The location is right on South Congress and from there you can walk to the different shops. The interior was very nice and they were able to sit us by the window so we could look out. The menu looked delicious and I decided to order the Maple Bourbon Donut and the Standard Dip with a mimosa. The pricing is a bit high and I personally would not have put a mimosa at $8 when it is in a small champagne glass. Portion size was fairly big and I would have had leftovers, but I was hungry. For the maple donut, you can order a small side of bourbon to go with the donut, which we did. Watch out because the bourbon is strong at least for us it was. The only thing I would say about the meal was that I did not care for the au jus. It was just there for me.
