| - About a year back, I happened to drive through Waxhaw stopped for breakfast at the original Stacks Kitchen. Now here was a reason to move to Waxhaw: a good menu, breakfast all day, fair prices, and a bakery case! I was hooked and from that point on, if I was in Waxhaw around breakfast or lunch, Stacks is where I'd grab a meal.
So when I drove down Monroe Road and saw their coming soon banner, I was pretty excited. Matthews doesn't have a good diner. You might say what about have cracker-barrel and IHOP but eat a breakfast at Stacks and you'll never go back to those chains.
The inside is a mix of booths, tables, and even a bar to eat at. The bar is first-come basis and with the exception of peak times on the weekend, there's always a spot available. Service is great but like any great cult-eatery, they get busy so things do slow down. I'd rather have slower service and good food than the trash on a plate found at the chains.
The food is incredible. The baked goods and desserts are made in-house as well as their fresh-squeezed juicer. They are fantastic and many of the breakfast meals come with their bread as toast. Breakfast is my favorite whether its a large fluffy omelets or the waffle piled high with fruit. Plus it's served all day...(which ends at 3pm for them).
The sandwiches (BLT, Turkey and Ham, etc) are stacked high like they're challenging you to take it all in one big food-coma inducing bite. Make sure you save room for dessert as you're forced to stroll by their display case filled with cakes, cheesecakes, cookies, and canoli's - which is cruel and unusual punishment if you're stuffed up to your eyeballs. That's ok - get it and take it home.
