Stacks Restaurant

Great breakfast place

by ls04 at Citysearch

This is a great breakfast place and very comparable to Mama's in San Francisco (although Stacks has a more extensive menu). Although you will probably have to wait for a table, they provide seating so you can wait outside and take your name down so you don't have to wait in a line (like at Mama's). They also give you an approximate wait time which is usually on point so you can also walk around and look into all the stores nearby.

Long wait, but great pancakes

by kr333 at Citysearch

The wait is long and the table are too close together, but the banana wheat germ pancakes are among the yummiest that I've had. It is fun to go there once in a while for a special occassion.

• Pros: Easy parking for $2 across the street, good food
• Cons: Long, long wait.

Not bad, not great either.

If you are from the peninsula, Stacks may be a good place to eat. Given the lack of better places I suppose it'll do. Consider this; if you took the amount of time you spent waiting for a seat you could have been in the city already. Been there a few times over the years because friends, who are from the peninsula, wanted to go there. I can't remember exactly what I had, it wasn't bad but not good enough to remember, sorry.

If you are from the city I can't recommend going out of your way to make it there. If you are in the area, sure why not, the food is good enough. You will most likely end up there because your peninsula friends who don't know any better will coerce you to meet them there.

Bottom line:

- it's decent enough

- the food is ok

- portions are large

- portions are great for big eaters and or heavyweights

- better than you average place

- loooong waits

• Pros: Portions, a good peninsula eatery.
• Cons: Long waits not comensurate with quality.
