Wow... This place has taken a bad beat on Yelp in the past. I notice a lot of the low-rated reviews take place a while back and wanted to share that I've had really positive experiences every time that I've visited.
Stacks is a comfortable breakfast and lunch place. It's on the corner of Hayes Street looking out to Patricia's Green (where the 101 used to be) in the revitalized Hayes Valley neighborhood. Stack's features a large dining room, counter seating and outdoor seating on high-tops. I think it feels quite nice but casual.
As far as sandwiches, I've been really happy with their Burgers, which also come with a huge helping of fries and a side salad (I ask the to make mine Caesar and they always happily oblige. The Triple Decker Club and Reuben were solid too.
Breakfast is alright. Nothing to go out of your way for as far as the food, but definitely not at the level of some of the more critical reviews. Pretty standard omelettes and frittatas. They come with a bagel instead of toast, although you can sub toast.
Not a bad price point for a sit down lunch during the work week. I doubt I would wait in line during the weekend for brunch. It's comfortable but not a superstar. read more
