I found Babystacks on Yelp and after reading the reviews and drooling at the photos, my friend Alana and I decided to head over there to experience the hype.
The restaurant is pretty tight, as in it was a little small. We arrived around lunch time so there was a good amount of people when we arrived. We were seated, however, right away which definitely deserves an A+. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive the entire time. Food came out pretty quick so A+ for that as well.
On to the food... first the red velvet pancakes.. was I expecting red velvety battered goodness? Yes. Did I get it? No. They were pretty much pancakes with red food coloring topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. Nothing mind blowing. The cream cheese syrup tasted like the icing you would find in a store bought cinnaroll can. Once again, nothing special. For me, total fail to the excitement I had before I actually tasted them.
Now on to the saviour of this review... the adobo omellett. It was a hefty size. I was expecting more egg than filling but thankfully I was wrong. It was chockful of yummyness! The rice tossed with the adobo sauce and shredded chicken were delightful for my taste buds. The creamy side Mac salad was a great addition to the dish.
All in all I had an ok experience. I chose 3 stars based on the fact that I was expecting to have my taste buds blown away... but all I got was a fizzle. Maybe red velvet TASTING pancakes are like the loch ness monster... just a myth.
