| - If I could give this place a '6', I would. Few places I go to are "that good", and I tend to be very picky, i.e., "honest".
We are new to the area, and wanted to try out this breakfast place (they serve lunch too). We came mid-week, and even then, we had about a 15 minute wait. I cannot imagine what it must be like on the weekend. Often times, a long wait is the fault of the kitchen for slow service or staff for clearing tables slowly. But that is NOT the case with Stacks! The long lines are because this is a local favorite and everyone wants to come here! The longer lines are unavoidable if a place is popular, and Stacks is one of those rare finds.
First impressions: busy, clean, fast. With as busy as this place was, it remained clean and no noticeable food junk on the floor. That was definitely a welcome site as many places I've been they just wipe the tables onto the floor and sweep "when they have time." Tables were clean and not sticky from syrup or other food. Our server was prompt to our table and made several suggestions. Prices were very reasonable (on the inexpensive side). We had read other reviews that said to try the orange juice, so we did. Definitely freshly squeezed -- a must if you go here!! Choices on the menu range from Southern (grits, gravy, etc) to the more traditional. I chose something in-between (eggs topped over hash browns) while my spouse had their "small" stack of French toast, which was anything but small! Fresh THICK bread for her French toast was amazing, as was mine. A bottomless cup of coffee with the carafe at your table and we were good to go.
This is definitely a place to go and one we will frequent often. Servers are very friendly and helpful here, and all the staff was pleasant as we made our way out the door. I can't wait to come back and try something new next time! Great place!!
