It seemed like Stacks was never going to open, given that it was coming soon for what seemed like ages. But it finally did open, so we were excited to check them out on a recent Saturday.
The place is very spacious and clean-looking inside, and we snagged a nice table right by a window.
Given that the place is called Stacks, I decided to grab a short stack of the Classic Pancakes ("Made the old fashioned way with real buttermilk, our fluffy classic pancakes are a breakfast staple. Topped with powdered sugar and butter on the side.")
They showed up a little while later and they sure looked picture perfect. And, as it turned out, they tasted just as good as they looked. These are exactly what you want out of traditional pancakes, as they're just so light and fluffy and completely addictive.
We also tried the Scrambler Wrap ("Scrambled eggs, cheddar & sausage on a white or whole wheat tortilla with 2 potato pancakes"), which is quite possibly one of the largest breakfast wraps I've ever eaten. But it's very good, with its plentiful scrambled eggs and loads of Vienna sausages (or something very similar to a Vienna sausage). The potato pancakes were the one weak spot of the meal, as they had a weird gummy texture that just wasn't too appealing.
The service was great, too. All in all, Stacks is a very cool little breakfast joint that makes a very nice addition to this stretch of Dundas. read more
