First time here & it is a fabulous place,! You can sit inside or out, we choose inside. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the service was good. The food was excellent, we had a variety of items from the menu since we had 6 people in our party. The pancakes with carnitas was amazing. We liked that they left the coffee carafes on the table for us along with water. read more

Huge portions when dining in. We usually order to go and when we dined in this weekend, we were shocked! Either that or our to go boxes seem smaller than their plates. Most of the staff is nice. Food is pretty good but I think I need to ask them not to add salt to my food. read more

Haven't been to stacks in years but since we were visiting the old hometown decided to grab breakfast at an old hangout! They have a very large menu - Got the pancakes but sadly wasn't impressed BUT .... The Eggs Benedict- was awesome and I'd order it again. & again Huevos Rancho was huge and great flavor also added to the re- order list! Over all the service is fantastic- we were only disappointed in the pancakes but coffee and food were really excellent! Nice atmosphere and servers very attentive. read more

Came to stacks with a friend on a Sunday morning. There was a market going on in downtown Burlingame so the area was more crowded than usual. I normally park at the Caltrain station - $5 for the day. It is pretty crowded inside the restaurant and staff seemed busy. The food was great - we each got pancakes - blueberry and banana macadamia coconut. The pancakes are HUGE - we each got a short stack (2 pancakes) and barely finished half. Got some sides - scrambled eggs and pork sausage - both decent. I tried their espresso martini and wasn't impressed - not much espresso flavor and very creamy. Overall was a great experience! I would definitely return :) read more

We usually come here when we're craving for that American breakfast comfort Food and it always hit the spot! Lots of choices for young and old. Just be ready to wait or sit outside. The reason why I only gave it a 3 is because when you're seated outside service is very slow. I know that they're busy but maybe they could add more team members during brunch weekends. They were really nice but lacked attention. Is that going to stop us from coming back? Definitely not. read more

Vibrant go to place for breakfast, brunch & lunch gatherings. Healthy portions & friendly service.

Came on a Friday morning for breakfast, it was pretty crowded but we were seated within 5 minutes, which was nice. What we ordered: Beaters Scramble : scrambled eggs with broccoli, zucchini, onions, celery, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes, served with a dry wheat bagel. This was a great menu opt for me since I wanted to get more veggies in. scramble was well-seasoned and bagel was decent, nothing fancy but a nice pairing. Chicken Fried Steak : Topped with ground pork sausage & mushroom house gravy, plus scallions. Served with eggs & potatoes. The chicken could've been a bit crispier (probably softened from the gravy), but the gravy itself was rich and flavorful with nice bits of mushroom. The potatoes were tasty and not overly greasy. Overall, a solid breakfast spot in burlingame! Portions are generous, service was friendly and quick, and the menu has something for everyone. read more

Have been wanting to check out Stacks for a while but haven't had an opportunity until now and boy, were we impressed! I called ahead on a Thurs to ask how busy they were and if there was wheelchair accessible seating and the staff who answered the phone said they weren't busy at all and tables were available to accommodate us. (I was calling on the road and we were about 5 mins away ;)) Upon arriving, we found lot parking that was adjacent to Stacks and luckily, there were a few disabled spots available. Upon entering the restaurant, my wife and I immediately had 'throwback' feels for this place. The decor and ambiance clearly brought nostalgic vibes for us and really showed us how long the restaurant had been around. Cintia, our server, was also super friendly and helpful; placed us in an area that was easily accessible for my wife's transport chair. We were seated at a very nice section so we could enjoy the atmosphere and decor. The food, in a word, AMAZING!! The omelette and crepe were huge portions and very tasty. Filled with enough ingredients, they should call it the Kitchen Sink LOL. Will definitely visit again, this time with our clan (about 15 ppl). Thank you for having Stacks, Burlingame!! read more

I tried my sister's huevos rancheros and I definitely regretted my omelet choice after that. The omelet was solid but the huevos had a great flavor. The service was quick but brisk. The decor was super cute and the Christmas touches really added to ambiance. It is a solid brunch spot but didn't feel like anything special. read more

Disappointed- first completely expected To wait because it's Mother's Day- and we had 11 people- but no effort made to ask until 1.5 hrs later if we could split a table. I saw a party of 9 that arrived after us be seated before us. Finally seated and waited another 35 minutes for food- whereas the party of 3 across the aisle got their food within 15 min of ordering. Almost as if they are punishing the larger parties or bad management... with seating and waiting for food- management- BUT- waitstaff doing the best job they can!! Not returning. Stars are for waitstaff. read more

On a brisk Monday morning, my partner and I were looking for a quick breakfast while waiting for cere tea to open for the day. We ended up heading over to stacks for a quick bite and it did not disappoint,. It wasn't super busy so we sat down right away and ordered the all meat omelet. After a short wait we got our food from the kitchen and it was delicious.Additionally, the vibe is very vintage and it has a real old school feel. Excellent service and classic food can never go wrong. read more

Been forever since I've been here - I had forgotten how cute it was in here - and how nice the waitstaff are - and the espresso was good! and the crepes were delicious. Had a nice time with my friend, not interrupted by the waitress, she knew exactly when to come and fill water glasses without asking, she did ask how the food was, and was very pleasant. Gotta' put this place back into the rotation! read more

We came to Stacks in Burlingame on a packed Sunday morning and were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated--such a win when brunch is this popular! The service stood out immediately: attentive, friendly, and never rushed, even though the place was buzzing. Food-wise, everything was spot on. The meat crepe was hearty and flavorful, the crab crepe was rich but not heavy, and the full stack (3) pancakes was the kind you dream about--fluffy, perfectly golden, and big enough to share. I could only eat one! Overall, Stacks delivered the perfect brunch experience: great food, welcoming staff, and efficient service even at peak hours. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Burlingame. read more

This is a very aesthetic cafe that feels like a nice diner to grab brunch at. There is a wide selection of sweet and savory dishes from omelettes, pancakes, crepes and sandwiches. The service was amazing. Servers were attentive and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. I was shocked by how fast they brought them out. The waffles were delicious and topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. It was fluffy, sweet and satisfied my waffle carvings. I would definitely come back and try the other waffles on the menu. My boyfriend had the mighty meat crepe and loved it although he didn't enjoy the side of potatoes and the bagel. He also ordered coffee and they give you the kettle to refill your cup. He was able to drink two hot cups of coffee. I was interested in the brunch cocktails but didn't order one this time. I'll definitely want to order a drink next time though! read more

Come for the amazing food, expect the wait. Brunch is prime time at Stacks. This place has been serving up healthy eaters and hungry diners with me including since my first trip in 1994. I always wondered (prior to Yelp) if there was any other diners in Burlingame since it was always so busy here, now I know it is just one of the best. I have been know to plan trips to Northern California around if I can hit stacks at least a few times. When I do go, I relax, take my time, and understand that it took 45-90 minutes to get a table it is because they are busy. I expect the dining experience here to take 2 or 3 hours anyways. The triangle lot, tough parking, neighborhood feel, nice weather and atmosphere all contribute to each brunch event. read more

I walked in to order coffee and no one was at the register. I was acknowledged and was told someone would be with me shortly. However, after another associate came out from the back, the acknowledgment ended there. The associate immediately began making drinks, and no one communicated that customers were waiting to place orders or directed anyone to assist at the register. I waited for a while, expecting someone to come over or at least provide an update, but no one said anything. Once it became apparent that no one was coming to the register to take orders, I left without purchasing anything. I completely understand that coffee shops get busy, and I don't mind waiting. What was disappointing was the lack of communication after the initial greeting. A simple acknowledgment or update would have made a big difference in the customer experience. read more

The food was amazing, also the service Miguel gave to our table was excellent, it's a great ambiance, highly recommended for brunch time.

Haven't been at this restaurant in awhile. Overall, their menu has a variety of different options to choose from. The ambiance inside and out of the restaurant is really nice. The weather at Burlingame is always a hit if you like warmer weather. Downside for me is the wait for my food. We waited a good time for the food to come. Overall, nice brunch place if you don't mind the wait for the food since they get very busy. read more

I love Stacks! Huge menu with lots of variety. We ordered the egg skillet, blueberry pancakes and meat crepe. Everything was super yummy and cooked perfectly. Just know that the pancakes are HUGE! So order accordingly because you'll get full very quickly and I doubt it's good to-go. It's always packed for breakfast / brunch, so be prepared to wait. They keep the tables and line moving as quickly as possible though. read more

We drove all the way from Los Angeles to try this place. First of all, there's no wait. Second of all, there are two tables out side for 4 and 5, another table for 5. The guy told me that my whole party has to be there, I said alright. My party arrived minus 1 as she was looking for parking. And this guy was about to seat us when we told him that one was looking for parking, and he started saying in a loud voice that all our parties need to be there, and he's said it and it's the rules. I understand there are rules, but please do not talk down to us like we are children, causing people to look at us. As he saw as leaving, he then called out after us and asked if it was our friend that he sees walking down with us. His voice was really loud, and it was embarrassing not for us but more for him. We left because we're trying to have a great brunch. We didn't drive 6 hours to be stressed and talked down to. For reference, the seater is about 5'8, glasses, white guy with full tattoo sleeves. read more

There are street parking and lot parking is located a block and additional 2 blocks away. Overall, okay place for brunch to get together with friends and family. Cheers! read more
