Great breakfast brunch lunch place. Portions are huge. Stacks delicious pancakes are light and fluffy. I always order extra butter to slather them up. I also like their tasty 3 egg scrambles served with a toasted bagel and extra crispy potatoes. Their lunch items, such as their yummy Monte Cristo sandwich, are also huge portions. We normally eat half and bring the other half home. Stacks has outdoor seating in the front so when its warm, we do bring our dogs with us for weekend brunch. The wait can be long, say 20 minutes, because this place is very popular with families, especially during Mothers Day weekend, which requires at times parking in the neighborhood. They do offer coffee and tea service to keep people calm as we wait patiently for the next available table. Service can be slow at times because of the crowds, but the staff tries as much as possible to turn tables and the busers do work fast here to keep things moving.

A very nice local breakfast / brunch place. They are open only until 2 PM during weekdays and 2:30 PM Friday thru Sunday. The food was really good, I had the Mexican Omelette , which had chorizo and avocado in it, and my wife had a farmers breakfast, two eggs, two bacon strips, two sausage links, home fries, and two pancakes.The food was really good, and I would not have changed anything at all. The coffee could be improved though, it tasted like it was burnt. The decor of the place looks a bit dated, with some plastic plants and such. The seats were old but comfortable. The place is a bit on the pricey side, but they do have things on the menu that are unique, like the banana macadamia & coconut pancakes. I would definitely go again.

Do yourself a favor and dont get near this place. I just paid $40 for the worst brunch ever of which I could only swallow coffee and bagels. They sold us something that we thought was chicken but it was really a disgusting fried "burger" that was supposed to taste like chicken. The eggs and hash brown were a joke. And I wonder how old was the fruit in our crepe. Thats not all. The service was bad as well. The waiter insisted on taking our plates despite we were still trying to eat some of it while taking care of a baby. So dont do it. Save your money for food you can actually eat in a place you can have a nice time.

I just had a basic breakfast here with eggs, chicken apple sausages, hash browns, and a side of fruit. Besides the fruit, nothing was really made right. The eggs were overcooked and dry. I dunno what happened to the sausages, but they were cooked to the point where the texture was chalky. They were also bland and didnt taste like chicken apple at all. Lastly, the hash browns were undercooked. Some of the potato pieces still had a raw crunch. The overall experience of the food was not good. The best thing I can say about this place is that at least they give you free coffee.

Tried them twice and was underwhelmed both times. First, I had the ham and cheese omelet which was basically a fried flat egg with ham and cheese laying on top of it, no attempt was made to put anything INSIDE. Today I tried the homemade corn beef hash which when it arrived was a bunch of cut up pastrami lunch meat slices mixed up with some under cooked hash browns. It came with a bagel but you had to ask repeatedly for cream cheese. The bagel was good but the hash I just had them box up and threw it away when I got home. Back to Ihop for a good breakfast.

Stacks should remember one of lifes most important rules: First impressions mean everything. I understand that thwy dont have to honor special request but they dont have to be ruse about it either. It was my first time going and my pastor asked for his waffle to be cut and the waiter was like no they arent going to do it I told you that last time. Hes blind people even though I have no problem doing it for him, is 5 seconds really going to hurt business? Dont think ill be coming back here Dennys is better lol

Visited this restaurant twice in two weeks. First time the waiter took a long time to get us coffee. The meal itself was good but not excellent. Prices are commensurate to the vicinity. The second trip (today) coffee was within seconds of our seating. Had a craving for waffles and I love blueberries, so thats what I ordered with a side of 2 eggs over medium. Eggs were perfect. Waffle was fine, and the blueberry preserves were amazing. This mornings trip elevated what would have been 3-stars to 4.

Stacks is a solid setup. This location is one of the sister location to the other three original locations. I would say I frequent this location the most out of all the other locations. I have never had a bad experience here, its always well staffed with prompt service and the food is always spot on with the description on the menu. You can sit indoors or outside if you would like with solid decor regardless where you choose. Good breakfast/lunch spot I highly recommend.

Went there this morning with the family and ordered 3 eggs florentine.....the eggs were raw....the egg white was still raw on my plate and was not even cooked on the other 2 orders so they re did the order......all they did was cut all the egg white off and left the yolk.....we got our re order this way......r u kidding me. They are always busy and they rush the food and this is what happens. Its sad. I love eating here but this was ridiculous. So we got up and left.

The place is amazing, as usual. I have been many times, and it has never been bad. The servers there are great, and the food is spectacular. It is a little pricy, but its definitely worth it. There specialtys are pancakes, but they have other great items. This is a perfect place for a family get together, or if your from out of town. With the bar, you can also pop in for a quick breakfast.

Our server Jessica was absolutely Amazing! very professional and pleasurable no matter how hard of a time we tried to give her she didnt miss a beat. Food was great. Price is affordable. Even have a few booths with access to power sockets to chalA1aaaaaaarge your electronic devices. Not much better of a way to start your day than a healthy Stacks breakfast and a Hearty smile from Jessica

Ive been here twice and both times we got some awesome breakfast food! Their pancakes are their signature meal and you will definitely feel full from a full stack! We also have had their breakfast skillets and these are fantastic if you want a more hearty savory breakfast. As far as drinks go I would definitely get hot chocolate, they have the really good machines for it.
