Patrons have been raving about the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff, making it a go-to destination for food enthusiasts and casual diners alike.
One of the standout features of The Standard is its exceptional menu. Guests consistently praise the braised beef short rib, known for its fork-tender texture and creamy whipped potatoes that could easily share a plate for two. The double cut pork chop, with its tender meat and the silky smooth sweet potato puree, rivals even the finest steakhouses. Each bite offers a well-balanced blend of flavors that truly impresses.
For those who enjoy a lighter fare, the duck breast provides a divine experience cooked to a perfect medium rare, showcasing the chef's skill in rendering its fat just right.

“ Awesome gem in a small town. Cool atmosphere in an old building downtown Bertram. Friendly staff and great service. Good selection of specialty cocktails. The braised beef short rib can feed 2 people. Fork tender with very creamy whipped potatoes. The double cut pork chop is so tender and better than flemmings. The sweet potato puree is silky smooth and pairs so well with the pork chop, totally delicious. The duck breast was a perfect medium rare, tender, and the fat perfectly rendered. Add the side of mushrooms to all the dishes, and it was a fantastic experience for all of us. We want to go back and try other items on the menu Highly recommend the Standard on Vaughan. ”
“ Excellent food. Perfectly cooked and presented. I highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip. Staff are efficient and friendly. Thank you, Ginger! The only ding I have would be the acoustics in the space are terrible when there is a loud group present. ”
“ OMFG, best Pork Chop and Bone-In Short Rib bar none. Sides are insane & don't miss the sweet potato puree. The Shrimp Cocktail amazing. Will be back! Susan ROCKS ”
“ Pork belly left something to be desired. But, the coleslaw that came with it, the best I've ever had. The service is amazing waitress is super fun, nice, and personable. The Young lady tending bar was very polite and I saw her cut a couple off. She handled it with ease, sincerity, and was exceptionally polite. The brie is great, and their in house potatoes chips. They taste great. The bar selection and wine selection rival anything you would find in Austin or San Antonio. I can't say enough about the staff and the atmosphere. You would never know you are in a small town in Texas. ”

“ Very surprised to walk into this beautiful place. We came for brunch. The Eggs Benedict was the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back. The only negative is that the noise is so loud it was hard to hear my husband taking. ”

“ What a hidden gem!!!!!! My husband and I stopped on our way from the lake. We were craving steaks and could not believe this place existed in the tiny town of Bertram. The moment you walk in you’re greeted with friendly smiles and service. The decor great. Now the steaks, were AWESOME!!! I had the Picanha which melted in my mouth. I was impressed from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Our server James was spectacular! Our only regret is we didn’t find this place sooner!!! Kudos Standard on Vaughn and congratulations on celebrating two years and look forward to stopping in many more! ”
