Great food for the value and excellent service. Pancakes are amazing! Will definitely come back.

This place has been here forever. I used to go here when I lived in NJ because it's a great breakfast place. Brought my family here on Tuesday morning for breakfast. It was busy- spring break and wall. We were seated immediately by the gentleman who I'm pretty sure owns the place. We were greeted fast. Our food came out extremely fast. Our coffees were kept hot and full. We were given a check before we had to wait and ask. We really appreciated the great experience as my wife and I find them harder and harder to come by. read more

Food and service is the best! Pancakes are light and fluffy. Eggs are cooked as requested

My family and I frequently dine here twice or three times a week for brunch/lunch. I definitely recommend their omelettes which come with a side of 3 buttermilk pancakes or their cheddar burger which comes with curly fries! The food comes out quickly and the portions are good. The food is decent but nothing special considering their large menu. Overall, they shine in service - their wait staff and owners always remember us when we come in, quick to accommodate, and friendly! read more

Stack Pancake & Steak House - Burger Triple Decker with Fries - Diners Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

I happened to be running errands near North Arlington and stumbled upon Stack looking for a late breakfast. So glad we did. Stack is old school, NJ diner style food which is exactly what I was looking for. Service was excellent. This is not a 5-star restaurant, but everyone we encountered from the hostess that sat our party, both waitresses that served our table to the man taking payment at the counter was super nice. Even during a breakfast/brunch/ lunch rush, they staff couldn't have been more pleasant. I ordered the hungry man breakfast to have a bit of everything. It was the best breakfast sampler option, though I'm sure that everything else on the breakfast menu will also be good. The pancakes were hot and fluffy - I ate every bite. No complaints about Stack. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back. read more

This became a sad sad sad place to eat now idk how it's still busy...but I guess ppl don't care what they eat...I had a chicken fried steak with toast and breakfast pot.. the sawmill gravy was disgusting...I'm sry I can't do that to my body..the rest was a bland mess ..sry not going back here again..not worth the money I spent read more

We stumbled on this place a few years back. The FOOD IS EXCELLENT THE SERVES IS FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING!!! I met the owner today, I believe He is on the money and is a people pleaser I love stacks and it is worth the 25 minute drive to get treated like a king KEEP DOING YOUR THING GUYS read more

Waitress was great. Pancakes were AMAZING. The sausages I got with them were cold/under cooked. The fish n chips were nothing more than prefrozen fish patties with crappy fries. Cheap quality. They charge WAY too much for fountain drinks. Decor/atmosphere is outdated. If I ever go back, it would only be for the pancakes and absolutely nothing else. The pancakes really were that good but everything else was extremely mediocre. read more

Stack Pancake & Steak House - Diners Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

If I could give this a zero rating I would. Let's start with the service, it was just ok but we knew right away that he was unable to take our order correctly but we wanted to keep the faith! My partner is a vegetarian but loves potato pancakes and when we ordered it, we asked for the bacon to be on a separate plate (I was going to eat it), however, it came to our table with the bacon on top of the pancakes, and my 2 eggs over easy came as poached eggs. Also ordered an omelette with cheese and onions and got no onions. When the manager walked over and asked how was everything -boy did we give him an earful. I did feel sorry for the server because I honestly think he was trying, but the entire order was incorrect. Once it came out correctly, the food itself was extremely greasy. To the point we couldn't eat it all. Had such high hopes for this place because of all the positive reviews, but unfortunately our experience was anything but positive. read more

I used to come here all the time as a little kid. They have good breakfast and lunch. Auto tingly my favorite thing on the menu is their fried calamari appetizer. read more

Arguably the best diner type of restaurant in New Jersey. Breakfast is stellar lunch is amazing and I'm sure dinner is great too. Service was very good. Waitresses are absolute fun, and the owner makes sure everyone is well taken care of! Service is fast food is always hot when served. You never have a problem even with special requests read more

Perfectly serviceable breakfast spot for hearty affordable diner-style fuel. We enjoyed the Hungry Man, and a Sicilian omelette with potato pancakes. The latter were pretty good - though I expected something more like latkes - but the pancakes that came with the Hungry Man were less than exciting. The waitress was super-attentive and quick with the coffee refills. read more

I think this is my new go to breakfast spot. Can get a little crowded but so worth the wait. I've past this place many times during my commute. It always looks packed which prompted me to come. Of course I decide to come on a sunday morning but luckily it was only a 5 min wait for 2. We didnt get a booth but a small table for two in the back of the restaurant. Since, it was a crowded sunday morning, we were not complaining. The waitress got us coffee right away. We decided to play it safe and order omelettes instead of pancakes. I admired everyone elses pancakes from a far. My boyfriend ordered a western omelette and I ordered the veggie omelete. Of course we ordered a side of bacon. The wait wasnt long before our meal came. I've been to 100's of diners and this omelette was, hands down on my top 5 I have ever had. The bacon was fresh and crispy and their toast game was on point. The price is cheaper than your average diner breakfast. Next visit, I will definitely try some pancakes. Great spot!! read more

This restaurant is a gem. Such a good breakfast/brunch spot. The servers were very nice & very attentive. Great place for a Sunday morning family breakfast!! read more

Classic diner style experience. I've only had breakfast here and every time it has been good, I've never ventured to order lunch or dinner. Pancakes and sausage links are particularly good in my opinion, and the staff is always friendly. read more

Food, Service and location is awesome, each and every time. One of my many favorites in the area.

Stopped in here with a couple of co-workers who'd been here before. The place is a bit of a dive...and I don't mean that in a negative way...I mean it's low key, friendly, and they seem to serve a lot of regulars (how I've never been here before is beyond my understanding). Anyway, we were seated immediately and the waitress took our drink orders right away. The menu is your fairly basic diner menu, but the guys I was with raved about the breakfasts and the Stack Burger so I went with the burger. A burger is easy to screw up and a lot of places try to hide weak seasoning and weak meat with lots of toppings. I want to TASTE my burger, even if it does have toppings they should enhance the flavor of the meat...not hide it. Anyway, the Stack burger is a pretty basic item...10oz bacon cheeseburger (I went with cheddar) on a grilled hard-roll. Comes with lettuce, tomato and fries. Now, what I write next I do with the understanding that it's a big statement...This was the best burger I've ever had at a DINER. It was delicious, done perfectly, and they kept it simple. The fries were also pretty good so this place really hit a home run with me for my first visit. I'm sure after the next one I'll end up giving them an extra star! read more

Had to update this review...our waitress today was AMAZING!!!! Tina was beyond attentive with us along with all the tables we saw her attending. Truly made us feel at home. 1st Review: Came on a Sunday afternoon. The wait was about 15 mins. Found a parking spot soon as we pulled in. We were sat at a booth which was comfortable for us plus our 2 kids. Our waiter was very delightful. Most important the food was delicious and the bill was cheap! read more

The food was great! The view outside patio was so amazing and made the dining experience so much better! read more

Stack Pancake & Steak House - Diners Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

I stop here occasionally to buy breakfast for an elderly friend. She's always liked the food. I find this place to be so welcoming and professional and always very busy! The owners are hands on and greet you upon entering. The place has a homey feeling. Like they said in the tv show "cheers"...where everybody knows your name. (Or at least that's how they made me feel. ). Start your day at the Stack and feel happy read more

Bad service. Me and my family have eaten here plenty of times and never experienced this type of service which is really odd. We got sat down outside no problem. Then me and my family waited about 20 minutes for utensils and water. Then we waited another 30 minutes until we saw other people who got their after us getting seated and they're orders being taken before my family. Me and my family got upset and just walked out. By observation I felt like the waitresses were taking orders of the regulars customers as a priority. I understand restaurants get short staffed but this place has been in the past and the service was still good. The owners need to bear down and help the wait staff in taking orders if they want service to run smooth. I think it will be a while before I come back. read more

Some of the best French toast I've ever had! (Thick not thin) with almonds on top ! .... Waitress was fine. The man in the front is pretty dry, not too personable but whatever the French toast was DELISH! read more

I went to Stack Pancake & Steak House on a Thursday morning for brunch with a friend of mine. We were on a mission to find a new brunch place so that's why we ended up here. It has a cute restaurant front and the inside certainly has a cute personality when it comes to decor. I always appreciate that. Yes, it is a diner, so there are many options on the menu, but when I go to a restaurant that has "Pancake" in the title, I'm going to probably eat breakfast food. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely friendly. I was carrying my baby in her car seat and the owner(?) or manager(?) helped me carry her over to a booth. Much appreciated since the car seat filled with a baby is NOT light. Our waitress was super friendly too and offered us a good suggestion when we asked what was better - the banana pancakes or strawberry roll-ups. (Banana pancakes if you are starving, strawberry roll-up if you are looking for something lighter, just FYI). I had the potato pancakes with a side of turkey sausage and applesauce. The pancakes normally come with bacon but when I asked to substitute the turkey sausage, the waitress gave me no problem. The potato pancakes were delicious! They were a good size and I was able to finish them all. They had a great flavor to them. The turkey sausage was small in size but delicious. Their coffee was also good and they kept it coming. I really enjoyed this place and will visit again soon! read more

Love this diner. I always eat breakfast here no matter what time it is. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Food is always good and the coffee is superb! If you come here in the weekends, be prepared to wait, it gets packed. Small lot for parking, but usually on the weekends the lot across the street is ok to park in. The Hungry Man is the way to go! read more

Didnt even make it to a table. Don't bother coming for breakfast or brunch unless you're a rich looking white lady. My fiancee and I waited 15 minutes to be seated. While we sat waiting, we noticed a couple of women (white) come in after us, they were in groups of two as well. Why were they seated immediately and we waited? We came from Jersey City to try this place... never again. "Excuse me, your racism is showing..." read more

Stopped by this very nice, mom and pop, country style dinner after visiting the motorcycle mall. We got a window seat overseeing a little secret garden and the water canal. I was really surprised they variety of food they serve. They offer a solid 8 pages of items. They have all day breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, steak, seafood, soups, and more We ordered the country fried steak and the Stack burger. The steak gravy was one of the best I've had. I could just eat the gravy by itself. I cleaned the plate. The burger was huge, and juicy. Overall, food was amazing. Hidden gem in NJ. I will definitely go back. read more

I've been coming here entirely too much lately. I blame the following for that: *THE best pancakes in the whole world (bold statement, I know, but go ahead and order a pancake there and see how you feel). Oh, and the syrup is top rate as well! *Portions are of normal size. So my usual order of a tuna melt on rye has enough tuna for just one person, instead of something you'd serve a family of 6 on one piece of bread (I take food waste seriously, so listen up Tops Diner!). *Home fries are consistently crispy. Coffee is hot, tastes great, and is filled often. So many diners fail at these two musts. The Stack gets it right, EVERY time. *Last, but certainly the most important: old school style service. The Stack, everything a diner should be*! *I would advertise with that line. If you're reading this Stack, just compensate me with free pancakes for a year (or life, whatever) and we'll call it even! Thanks. read more

PANCAKES. AND. STEAK. What more do you want, let's just be honest with ourselves right now. Okay I will admit I have yet to have the steak here, but the pancakes are so legit I can't imagine the steak is any lesser. Real old style Jersey family joint, so happy this kind of place is still around. But let me tell you about these pancakes... like, if I could project an emotion into your brain Vulcan-mind-meld style I think that would be the best way to describe how fluffy, amazing, satisfying and ideal these pancakes are. I had the banana pancakes with the special syrup and a side of sausage and I wept for those in this world who have yet to experience such joy. I also got to try the COCONUT PINEAPPLE PANCAKES with a side of ham which I mean, like, if I need to go on then I don't even know what to tell you other than to repeat COCONUT. PINEAPPLE. PANCAKES. PLUS HAM. Can't wait to go back here and eat everything else. read more

You won't be blown away and you won't hate it. The Stack is a staple and has been around for many years. It gets the job done for sure. The food comes out quick and the portions are a good size as well. The food is not bad by any means but its nothing special either. It is very inexpensive and for that reason I keep coming back. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. It was the go to after church on Sundays with my family. I moved out of the area to central jersey but make sure to go back whenever I'm visiting family. I find it super nostalgic but also the food is just good and reliable. It's comforting. Hope this place never goes away. read more

Great place with great food! I get the hungry man breakfast every time and has everything you could ask for! As for the moron with the emotional support animal, no, you're not allowed anywhere you please because it's NOT A SERVICE ANIMAL. Her emotional issues don't constitute you being allowed to walk into a food establishment or similar places. It's a joke to real service animals and people with disabilities. BTW you can be asked if it's a service animal and what service it provides, besides that, nothing more. You failed the first question. read more

I've been going to this place for years; chalk it up to laziness that I haven't reviewed it yet. We are always greeted warmly by the owner, the waitresses can get you in, well fed, and out in a half hour if that's what you need, but they also don't intrude if you linger a bit. Everything on the breakfast menu is top-notch, from the steak and eggs my brother favors to the kielbasa and eggs that I love to the Belgian waffle that my husband goes for. In addition to the standard, thick-cut challah French toast (which is very good, but too large a portion for my liking), they also offer "old-fashioned" French toast, made with standard white or whole wheat bread which I prefer. They have good coffee, and come around often to offer refills. As for non-breakfast foods, they make a great hamburger and a delicious patty melt, and I once had a dinner special of pork loin that haunts me, it was so good. I can't speak to anything else non-breakfast, since that's what I'm usually there for, and I've never had dessert, although they look wonderful. read more

Best breakfast we've had out in quite a while! I had peanutbutter pancakes, which were so light, so fluffy, and so perfect that I was able to eat the entire lot of them. My partner in breakfast crime had something called the "Hungry Man's Breakfast". Well, he ain't hungry any more, and quite possibly won't ever be again after that meal! Two slices of rye toast, two eggs, two sausage links, a few slices of bacon, and a few pancakes...that's the Hungry Man's Breakfast. As was the case last two times we ate here, the service was very good and never had to wait too long for anything, including refills on coffee, tea, or sodas. read more

It's a small restaurant, which comes with a tiny parking lot. When i come here on Sundays i have to park on the street. The wait on the weekends isn't long, but there is a wait. It's really busy in the mornings and some waitresses rush you in and out. It can get pretty loud. Their serving size of drinks are really small. For the STACK a small is a miniature glass, and a large is a small glass. So you'll definitely need to order at least 2 glasses of O.J. to get you through. The food is good but i can only comment on their breakfast since that's all i have when i visit the stack. Prices are low, breakfast is on point! read more

Homey, laid back vibe with plenty of space and friendly staff. I wanted something filling and decadent, so I went the waffle sandwich, which is just a regular belgian waffle with a scrambled egg and sausage on top. The sausage is super thick but tastes just as delicious as sausage links from your mom's table. The waffle was light and airy, and it tasted like a dream soaked in maple syrup. Just what I wanted. We shared an order of disco fries, which are just ok, not much gravy, and the cheese isn't very flavorful. Thankfully, they are serving some very good coffee, and they'll refill your cup for free. One of the best diners in the area, a close second only to Tops. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Has a very comfy, family feel to it. The servers are extremely friendly, they're are on top of things. Food preparation is very consistent. I've not had anything I didn't like. The meatball escarole Soup is top notch. Stack burger is the best. Order with a vanilla shake and you will be in heaven. read more

Stack Pancake & Steak House - Yummy onion soup - Diners Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

Service was great! The servers are very attentive. I went last Saturday with my friend and my son, and they noticed that he was all over the place in the booth, and brought me a high chair for him and some crayons. He's one he didn't really use them but it was nice. I had the hungry man and my friend had the steak and eggs. I like the hungry man, 4 strips of bacon, sausage, pancakes, eggs, toast. I was in heaven. Of course I didn't eat it all. But it was great. My friend was no a fan of the steak, she ordered medium rare and it was very well done, and flavorless. She wasn't too happy. But she ate it, and the toast. Over all will probably visit since its about a 2 minute drive from my house. Service was great and prices were reasonable. So see you soon Stack Pancake! read more

Great for breakfast. Wait staff are great. Pumpkin pancakes are the best I ever had. Try them you'll like them.

Our food was pretty good can't wait till I go I. Person and taste the food! I know there potential out curly fries where soggy but still really good. I wish restaurants would realize to just put fries in a bag or something with ventilation so they don't get soggy. We got a Taylor ham, egg, cheese super yummy. read more
