| - I only rated Stacks Kitchen four stars because the service has never impressed me. The food is so delicious, though, I really hardly care. I just arrived home after trying Stacks for the second time. The first time I went with two friends and had one of their day's specials, a Cajun shrimp wrap. It was to die for. It was so good, I had to bring my husband back to check this place out. The hostess seemed nice, but confused or maybe overwhelmed. We we told there would be a ten-minute wait. No big deal, whatever. Packed place. A couple minutes later, the man that I have been assuming is the owner (friendly dark-haired hype man with an accent?) comes by, says "just to two of you?" in a surprised manner, and seats us. It was almost as if he was wondering why she had us waiting. Strange. On the way to our seats, he asked if we had ever tried the french toast. He recommended their special of Cannoli cream french toast, and I thought to myself, "Sure, it's made out of yesterday's bread. Why would you not push it?" However, the longer I thought about it the more it made sense. I had already tried and loved the savory-lunch route here. Why not go sweet-breakfast route this time? Plus he just seems so nice, and like he genuinely cares about your experience. I figured he wouldn't lead me wrong. Yeah, he didn't lead me wrong. My cannoli french toast was ah-mazing. It was the most delicious sweet breakfast I have ever tasted. The cream inside was perfectly sweet and had a lot of substance, sticking well between the toast layers and adding a great textural element to the just-firm-enough toast. The strawberries on top were tart and a smart touch, the tartness really cutting through the cream. Refreshing. My husband ordered shrimp and grits which were also some of the best we have tasted outside of our own kitchen. The like sauce topping the grits tasted meaty and homey, like a red eye gravy. He was pleased, and he is a picky shrimp and gritter. A lot of reviews mention the lacking service. I have to say, it's not the best i've had but it's far from the worst. Our waitress did forget our order and have to come back. When our waitress forgot to return to re-fill our drinks, the owner noticed and came to do it himself. A really sweet touch- not something an owner has to do. I like Stacks Kitchen a whole lot. I've already agreed with a few friends that this will be out go-to meet up spot in Matthews. They deserve our regular business.
