What a disappointing experience. After a long break from eating at Short Stack Eats (mostly due to the long lines on the weekend and frankly better food at Marigold), a few friends and I decided to give this place another shot last weekend.
We were unfortunately unpleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant hadn't worked out their wait issue -- they now have a hostess who asks for your order number, supposedly commits it to memory and then calls it when a table is free -- and that the food was of a much worse quality than the last time we came. The hostess forgot our number, we waited ~45 min for a table (which we only got after asking about the wait and making the hostess realize that she had forgotten about us), only to wait another ~15-20 minutes for our food. When the food (eggs and a breakfast sandwich) did come, the two orders of poached eggs were hard boiled.
Short Stack clearly meets a niche need -- drunk undergrads looking for breakfast food at 3am or hungover undergrads looking for breakfast food at 11am -- but anyone looking for a good breakfast in a nice atmosphere should go to Marigold (or perhaps Merchant) instead.
