I'd give Stacks a 10 . Great fresh food . Fresh squeezed orange juice and their homemade bread is to die for . They also sell their bread and other items . Everyone is always friendly . read more

Saw an employee clean the INSIDE of the orange juice machine with Windex, and I know it was Windex because I saw the bottle and I could smell it. Haven't been back since. read more

Family loves coming here for breakfast. Always busy for a reason. Coke hungry as the portions are larger than expected. Staff has always been good too read more

Four of us stopped in on a Wednesday. We stopped in because of the good reviews and because half wanted breakfast and half didn't. I'm not sure where the good reviews are coming from because my experience was not good. I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and hash browns. The eggs were GROSS! They were too cold and had absolutely ZERO seasoning. They were lukewarm at best so the cheese wasn't even melted. The hash browns were dry and flavorless and tasted like not fully cooked rice. I ended up sending the entire plate back and eating somewhere else. Another person had the sunrise with frozen Walmart chicken tenders, dry and flavorless hash browns and gravy. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Our waitress was good and we had no issues with her service. Sadly, that's where the positive experience ends. If you're a person who seasons your food I can't imagine you enjoying this food. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet... Stacks is a phenomenal place to stop in for breakfast or brunch, whether you're with family, friends or simply hanging out by yourself at the bar. The food is consistently served hot and delicious and the menu has a plethora of different options appealing to many different tastes. The atmosphere is welcoming, as are the attentive staff. Beware though, this diner is no hidden gem. The restaurant is prone to crowding, especially on weekends, but the wait tends to not exceed thirty minutes. My personal favorites are Stack's pancakes, poached eggs and garden omelette. read more

This place is always busy and has good food. George and his Wife take care of their employees. You can tell with all the smiling faces.

Excellent in all areas. I visit every time I'm in town. Never disappointed. Family atmosphere.

Place is packed for brunch on weekends! Food is consistent. You can't go wrong with anything in the menu but to me, the best thing on their menu is the challah French toast with berries - be warned the portions are pretty large!!! read more

This place is great! Can't wait until they open back up. I miss the waffles for breakfast

It's like you walked into your Grandmother's kitchen and had the best homemade breakfast ever! The staff is so kind and even though there is a long wait on the weekends it is worth it! Best pancakes I've had in the metro area. If you want home style comfort food with a down home feel, you've found the right place! We come here when we can't decide what to have for breakfast. read more

Thank you George and Tina. Great food and customer service!!! We enjoy our brunch every weekend the food is always great and we love our server Victoria!!! Thanks again for allowing the baby to eat with us read more

A nice place for breakfast and lunch. A bit pricey but everyone is these days. I don't know why the close so early though.

Love the breakfast and service here. There's a reason this place is always bopping. It's good food in a good atmosphere priced right. Breakfast should be like so. Fast, inexpensive and fresh. Love the spring omelet and the hashbrowns are a garuanteed to be yummy. Pancakes here are also on point. My wife tried the stuffed French toast which was amazing. read more

This is my second time here, our go to breakfast spot when we visit NC. Big portions, hot and delicious food. Friendly service. We always get the skillet which is perfect. Of note, the coffee is excellent. I need to know the brand. read more

Always crowded and that's a good thing. It's just as easy to get the same great food ordered for pick up on a busy weekend morning. Very traditional diner food with a great pastry selection. Don't let the crowds fool you, it's worth the wait. read more

Great place for breakfast with family or friends! Prompt service, reasonable portions at a great prices.

Came here for breakfast once and the food was good. Price was decent and the ambiance of the place was great. Place was packed !

NJ Diner quality food in Waxhaw. Great BLT and Chicken Orzo soup. Also plenty of breakfast specials. read more

Great, home-y breakfast and lunch joint. I enjoy the skillets for breakfast but there a lot of great options.

No better breakfast and lunch value for the dollar. Wish they were open for dinner. Service always great too!

A typical diner type breakfast and lunch joint. Nothing fancy just all the breakfast staples and it is packed for a reason! If you are coming here for the eggs, bacon and pancakes you can't go wrong here . If you are looking for something a little more sophisticated then this is not the place for you. They give you pretty generous portions of food too! I got the garden omelette, which comes with your choice of hash browns or grits and toast or biscuit. The service is also very friendly and prompt! Just beware on the weekends it gets pretty busy so be prepared to have a bit of a wait. I have come here several times and have never had a bad experience here! Definitely would recommend coming here! read more

Decided to try this location, since we always go to the one on Monroe. Had a little bit of a wait due to small crowd. I ordered farmers breakfast burrito with a few modifications. Food was made exactly the way I ordered it. Our waitress was attentive and courteous. My husband requested a changed dish due to his corn beef hash was over cooked. Without question, our waitress quickly replaced the order for a freshly made breakfast sandwich! The portions are large and we left stuffed!!! Will definitely return. read more

This seemed to be a hot spot in the Matthews area for Sunday brunch. We tried previously and due to a long wait we left. Coming in today we opted to wait the 15 minutes. The menu offers a good variety as expected from family diners. The restaurant was clean and bright. It has a classic feel and friendly staff. We had the stuffed French toast, pancakes, and salads. The only complaint was the 30 minutes we waited for our food after ordering. Not sure if our order was delayed going in but the people next to us were sat after us and finished their food/paid before we even had our meals. Therefore, this may be an isolated situation but it was definitely disappointing. Especially with kids read more

Technically this is a 4.5 stars but it's not an option... and the only reason for that is I give lunch a "4 star" rating.. but breakfast is ALWAYS a 5! You can't go wrong with Stacks for breakfast.. I've had their version of the lumberjack and I've had one of their skillets and both were awesome. My daughter asked "dad, how do they get their pancakes so fluffy?" To which I had no answer, but they are good.. very good. Lunch was a mild disappointment as I felt a Greek owned diner would have a better Gyro.. but sadly, Stacks comes in 3rd for "best Gyro" in Waxhaw... I won't mention the other two places in this review because that's just not cool. Don't get me wrong, the Gyro was good... but the tsatsiki was not as robust as others' and they were a tad skimpy on the Gyro meat on the sandwich. I was also disappointed with "Stack's original recipe" onion rings because quite honestly, I couldn't discern their rings from basic frozen onion rings. Overall, Stacks is very good... BUT, it's ALWAYS packed for breakfast. My advice is, if you live within a 10 minute drive, call in your order and take it home. Both breakfast and lunch travels well. read more

We tried to eat here twice before finally trying it a third time. We ended up going on a weekday since the weekend wait time was too long for us. I'm happy we finally got to try it! It was worth the wait. Good food, huge portions, low price and great service. What more could you ask for? We will definitely be back. This is a hidden gem! read more

The food at stacks is incredible unfortunately they don't pay attention to the website or yelp to let you know that they decided to close for vacation unfortunately we live 35 minutes away from here drove all the way here to find out that they are closed from July 3 until the 12th unbelievable you can't keep up with your website or yelp ! read more

This is the place to go for breakfast if you are in the area. Large portions, very good service, reasonable prices. Only drawback can be the wait to get in - come early. read more

We typically visit the Stack's in Matthews (it's closer to us), but decided to venture out to the original in Waxhaw this past weekend. Glad we had our GPS because it was hidden in the corner of a strip plaza. The restaurant was very nice inside (maybe a little nicer than Matthews). It was nicely decorated, laid out, and clean. They offered the same great service and excellent food (at a very reasonable price) that we expect from Stack's. It was worth the drive. I ordered one of my "usuals": the Tuscany omelette. Filled with sausage, provolone cheese, red peppers, and spinach, it satisfies my breakfast craving. It came with a side of their perfectly cooked hashbrowns (or you can get grits or oatmeal), and toast, made from their out-of-this-world, thick-sliced homemade bread. Get there early on the weekends, because there can be a wait! read more

Good food and the local tea as you enjoy your breakfast. It's definitely worth the wait for a table when they are busy. One of a very few places for breakfast in Waxhaw! read more

The best breakfast in the Charlotte Metro area. If you walk out of this restaurant hungry, it's your fault. You can't go wrong with an array of breakfast and lunch delicacies. I am particularly impressed with their homemade bread French toast. It's incredibly delicious. You can't go wrong with locations in Waxhaw and Mathew's. read more

The food was delicious. Me and my cousin ate all of our food. Maddie is a great waitress, don't forget to ask for her. read more

Went to Stacks 3/20/24 for a late breakfast (around 10:30 a.m.) Ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns and toast. Toast and bacon were yummy. Eggs were lukewarm with cheese sprinkled on top instead of scrambled in with the eggs. Hashbrowns were also lukewarm. Obviously not freshly cooked. Waitress was ok. Spent more time looking at pictures on another waitress's phone than coming back to take our order and bring our check. Not sure what all the hype is about, have been here about three times, will not go again. read more

First time eating here ... Based on reviews the expectations are high ! My meal is Eggs bacon and oatmeal so it should be an easy meal ! Restaurant is crowded and it's almost 2 pm on a week day ! Apparently it's crowded a lot which means they're doing it right read more

We were meeting friends for a breakfast/brunch and I was interested to see how this compared to a diner. Good experience. Staff was quick and friendly. For a relatively busy time there wasn't much of a wait on any part of the visit. I went with a western skillet and a short stack of pancakes. Skillet was really good, decent portion size and tasty. Kind of wish I grabbed a pic. I love a good western omelette so all mixed up with hash browns sounded (and was ) great. Pancakes hit the spot too. I probably could have just had the skillet, but it was vacation so I splurged. Coming from NJ, I got a kick out of seeking a Jersey sandwich on the menu with Taylor ham listed. Made me wonder if someone there was from northern NJ since most of the state says pork roll (the food) versus Taylor ham (a brand of pork roll). read more

First time here. My wife, a friend and I ate here for a late breakfast last Sunday. We were told the wait would be 30-40 minutes. It was almost an hour before we were seated. After sitting at our table for 10 minutes we were asked to move too accommodated a large group that would better fit the table we were presently at. Drinks were comp'd. It took almost 20 minutes before our food came out. The food was delicious. The server was courteous and professional. The owner was polite. I have always wanted to try Stack's because of the great reviews. I do understand that under these COVID restaurant times things can be challenging. I will try it again on another day and hopefully the service side will be more on par with their reviews. read more

Great food, service, but please TURN DOWN THE MUSIC! The Christmas music is beautiful but it supposed to be BACKGROUND music. And the music is for the customers, not for the employees to enjoy. I came here to eat and converse with my family, not for a Christmas concert! Other than that I love this place! read more

Very Good. Had Farther's Day breakfast with my favorite Middle daughter. The corn beef hash was just the right amount with hardly any filler. There was a bit of a wait perhaps because of father's day. My Daughter got the Big Daddy Skillet. Very good as well. Be hungry when you get this one though. A good nap could overtake you right after. Will eat here again. read more

I have been a regular for over 10 years and have found the serivice is great and the food is exceptional. Never had a bad meal at Stacks. Yes, it is busy, but the reason is the service and quality of food. They recently accomodated our group of 21 people to celebrate our friend's 93rd birthday. Can't thank them enough for the room and the outstanding service we received. I will continue to support Stacks for many years to come. Thank you George, Tina and the wonderful staff. You guys are Terrific!!! Charlie W read more
