That original location is known for its backyard patio, handsome bar and skylit dining room. Its combination of a comfortable space, exciting comfort food and sublime drinks helped Standard land on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/living\/food-drink\/article314997490.html\" rel=\"Follow\" target=\"_blank\">The News &amp; Observer\u2019s Top 50 Triangle<\/a> restaurants list.<\/p>\n<p>The new North Hills Standard looks to build on what seems to have made the brand popular. That means a new 15,000 square foot outdoor space, the largest in North Hills, built around a modern, all-black, stand-alone restaurant. The inside dining room is more than 5,600 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>While the original Standard is famous for one of the Triangle\u2019s best smashburgers, the new location has greater ambitions with its regular menu, such as steak frites, a raw bar with oysters, tartare and ceviche, fried oyster lettuce wraps and mussels.<\/p>\n<p>Co-owner Cov DeRamus said Standard always planned larger plates at the original location, but the kitchen constraints and smashburger demand held those plans back.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=4604\">Which &#8216;Little House on the Prairie&#8217; Stars Are, Aren&#8217;t Returning After Exits?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always wanted to do larger plates and a more diverse menu and really built the new kitchen with that in mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In another departure, the new Standard will be full-service rather than sharing the QR-code model of the original location, though the mobile ordering system may be available for parts of the outdoor dining tables. There are future plans to build an outdoor bar out of an antique trailer, serving drinks and cold snacks for folks waiting for tables or just stopping by for something casual.<\/p>\n<p>On the drinks side, Standard is serving a half-dozen frozen drinks, including a frozen espresso martini and a frozen painkiller. There will be house beers and guest taps, classic and innovative cocktails and Standard canned beer for on-site consumption.<\/p>\n<p>North Hills <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/living\/food-drink\/article284291018.html\" rel=\"Follow\" target=\"_blank\">announced the new Standard<\/a> more than two years ago, with plans to open in early 2025. After more than two years of anticipation, DeRamus is proud of what diners will experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe soft opening felt like we had been open for quite a while,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long process, but we\u2019re so appreciative of all the people who have been a part of this. All of us wanted to create a great vibe and create a causal neighborhood restaurant, where you can share the good times with good drinks and good food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=4602\">3 Wake schools deemed unsafe for students.
