The other day I had an intense craving for some red velvet pancakes but unfortunately had to work late. Then I remembered that I had noticed Stacks and Yolks is open until 9pm now and had been wanting to try it.
The place has very cute decor. I love the way that they've set up the restaurant, the logo is clever and they even have well designed merch for purchase. I looked up at the wall in front of me and noticed a big advertisement to vote for them in Best of Las Vegas. They seemed to be doing everything right (which is why I gave them 3 instead of 2 stars).
My brother and I both ordered a short stack of red velvet pancakes with whipped cream. They came out looking beautiful--great presentation. When I took a bite though I was very happy to be facing away from the man working there because I made an obvious face of disgust. The pancakes were downright gross. They were dense and gummy and the only thing that indicated that they were red velvet was the bright color. They were topped with raspberry (not the best choice) and chocolate drizzle over very cheap whipped cream (which I paid a dollar extra for). My brother couldn't even finish half of his. We both left disappointed and with stomach aches.
This place appears to have potential to be great, but the pancakes I had were so bad that I don't even care to try any other food they offer. It's a shame.
