This might be the best food I have ever had in my entire life. They truly know what they are doing at stacks pancake house. Outstanding service! read more

Exceptional food, exceptional service can not complain, owners son great guy, and the food will leave you in heaven

I'd give it a ZERO if it was an option. Why wouldn't I when we were promptly seated but sat there and watched other people that arrived after us have order taken and food served and we weren't offered water/coffee or even acknowledged. It was a Sat morn and they were busy but not slammed. As we walked out without (without ever being acknowledged or served) I stopped and politely shared our experience with the manager. He wasn't interested and barely made eye contact, just smiled. Not even a thank you or apology. Was there 10-12 months ago on a weekday morn and it was OK, not great but OK. With service like I experienced, they definitely aren't managing the business opportunity the currently have. read more

You really can't judge a book by its cover. From the outside, this place looks to have a strong brand, pleasant atmosphere and sizable menu. Visit on any given weekend and the restaurant is PACKED. However, the food leaves something to be desired. Right of the bat, the coffee is weak. I believe, if you're dining for breakfast, the first cup of coffee will tell you everything you need to know about the rest of the meal; in most cases. We ordered the traditional breakfast - nothing too complicated: two eggs (scrambled), breakfast fries, four strips of bacon and two pancakes. I nearly had time to complete a game of Fruit Ninja before my food had arrived. Never a good sign for food to arrive quickly at a restaurant ... unless you're at a fast food restaurant. First, the bacon - rubbery. I'm not sure, nor do I care, how you prefer bacon, but the standard is a noticeable blend between the crispy meat and the melt-in-your-mouth fat. There wasn't. It was just chewy rubber. The following was an assault on my taste buds: watery scrambled eggs, mushy (not crispy) breakfast fries, and their mainstay, the pancakes, were dreadful. The cakes were heavy, not fluffy, and the syrup lacked any substantial flavor or consistency. I've given this restaurant two tries, and, sadly, I will not be returning for a third. read more

Awesome place with some awesome food! They hosted our team event so well that we are coming back again for a second time! Wow! So great and tasty food! Like holy wowzers! So yummy! read more

I place carry out orders almost weekly, this place is that good. Prices are reasonable and the food is always ready and hot when I get there. They never give me any grief about asking for extra condiments, like some places. Only bad thing I can say about them is they do not have their menu available online or to take back to the office. read more

Wow! A great food place! But what! They put their hours down to 9:00-3:00! That's a lot of stars taken away! Enjoy this 1 star! We gone somewhere else after all this madness! "What? 2 months ago this was open for dinner! And you close it for dinner! That's bull!" read more

The food was delicious and the service was also great! They are serving dinner during certain hours and days of the week now! It was good and portions were nice! The staff seem to care that we were satisfied and that's always appreciated! read more

Based on the other reviews I can completely see what they are talking about!! We did get seated fast but only because they skipped over everyone else in line and sat us. :/... restrooms were pretty dirty and our service was crappy! Our food came out in good timing though it was just ok... prob. won't go back. read more

Seated right away. Waitress was polite and made suggestions on menu choices. Was attentive and refilled drinks. Food came out quickly and was good. Portions were large and reasonably priced. We will more than likely come here again before our trip is done. read more

This places food is awful. Gravy was cold and way to spicy the pancakes are fake the syrup is runny. The food is cheap and its obvious because you get what you pay for its crap. The food might be appetizing to dogs.The service is meh. read more

The Mediterranean omelette was so good! I asked for fruit instead of hash browns and that was awesome, too. Great service! read more

Stacks Pancake House - Omelette with fruit instead of hash browns - American Near Me - Elkhart, Indiana

I stop here whenever I'm in Elkhart for work! Whether an early breakfast or a nice lunch spot, the service is unbeatable, and the food hits the spot. I've had a few omelettes, grilled chicken salad, soup of the day, it's all been great! Very friendly, local place for breakfast food and your regular diner type fare. read more

This place used to be amazing with great food and good service. It was always busy in the morning but the tables would turn quickly. However, the past few months have changed. The service is now worse, so much so that my Saturday morning group that used to frequent this place has actually walked out twice for extended wait time for food arrival after ordering (once 45 min and once an hour). And both times were in a half empty restaurant. I want to love this place again and hope that they can make changes to improve the experience. read more

Wonderful service, generous portions, great prices. Can't ask for me. Loved the club sandwich

I really enjoy coming here! The food tastes great and it comes out fast. They also have the most incredible French toast. The service is good but it could be better. In my experience, Jordan had been the best waitress of all. She is very kind and always attentive. I appreciate how calm and positive she was despite the fact that the restaurant was very busy. And she still served all of her tables quickly. I didn't catch the name of the other waitress but she didn't really pay attention to us. I understand the place was busy however she was slow and she didn't bring us a lot of our requests. We waited a while just for her to pick up our checks and she rarely came to us for refills or to ask if we needed anything. So if you plan on going I strongly recommend asking for Jordan because she does an astounding job. read more

Food is amazing. They serve traditional breakfast and not so traditional items too. The biscuit and gravy omlette is a must try. Lunch items are just as good. Staff is always friendly and attentive. read more

I had the half order of biscuits and gravy as well as blueberry and banana pancakes. The biscuits were a little dense, but not bad. However, the pancakes were dry and burnt. It left a pretty bad aftertaste in my mouth that couldn't be washed away with coffee or water. Service was mediocre. They might want to either change their name or their pancake recipe. read more

Service is SLIPPING!! WOW... This place used be super awesome... not so much these days. Stopped in for lunch with my son and waited (with no line) for nearly 10 minutes to anyone to acknowledge that we were waiting to be seated. Once we were seated they scatterbrain waitress slammed down some water glasses and forgot us for 20 minutes! Lunch was super average and S L O W. Doubtful that we will return soon. read more

Not a good experience this morning. My silverware was filthy with food still stuck on it and the server told me she has been pulling dirty silverware all weekend. I usually love this place . I am pregnant and it grossed me out terribly . Thank goodness I had plastic utensils from Buffalo Wild Wings. read more

Horrible service. Our waitress lost our order on a Sunday morning (after the church crowd was gone), didn't realize it until 90 minutes later after we went up and checked. After taking our order a second time, she goes and services other tables before turning in our order. I'm hangry. read more

it is so good, i cant think of anything to say except, you gotta try it. Service, atmosphere, location...ooh and the food is exceptionally good. read more

If we were talking only of the food and initial timeliness, they would get 4 or 5 stars, but I am now going to the situation that happened after our server Lisa poured coffee toward me, rang both of our checks through one credit card after taking 20 minutes to ring them through then issuing a refund to the wrong card. There was no apology, no, "the coffee will be on us due to our error", no rectifying the situation other than to attempt to ring it up correctly. I would highly recommend avoiding Lisa and don't split your check. Check yourselves before you wreck yourselves. read more

The better half went to Stacks for lunch with the ladies a few days ago. This is a breakfast joint. They were out of bacon. They were out of sausage patties. Only had links. Many tables still had dirty dishes on them that appeared to be hours old. Service was slow. Food was lukewarm, at best. Not recommended. read more

Amazing service with excellent food! We had a small delay in getting a server and Chris (the owner) immediately apologized and took our order and to our surprise told us there would be no charge for the 3 meals we ordered. You can tell when someone cares to do things right and this place does just that. Great food. We will be back soon. read more

As a whole, I was satisfied. Angry potatoes are worth the trip alone, especially with the sausage gravy. Bacon and eggs were fine, but not noteworthy. First cup of coffee was crap, but the next few were much better. Must have brewed a fresh pot. read more

Absolute worst dining experience I have ever had. We waited an hour for a table, and after we had already asked them if we could just put a table at the end of a booth and they said no, they ended up doing that anyways 30 minutes later. Our order took over an hour to get to us, and our waitress was not checking on us to see if we needed refills. After we got our food, and asked for syrup, she never brought any and someone from our table went to the back to grab it themselves. I won't ever go back, and wouldn't recommend it. It took 2 hours from the time we walked in the door, to get our food. At a breakfast diner..... read more

This is a favorite breakfast spot for the family and I. I generally go for the South of the Border Omelet (chorizo, egg, cheese, veggies, & salsa), but have recently had a fling with the Country Slam Breakfast (eggs cooked to order, split biscuit and gravy, choice of sausage or bacon, & toast). They also have amazing Belgian Waffles (try one topped with cherries). I highly recommend Stacks for breakfast. read more

The food was excellent, nice healthy menu selection. However the service was sub par.

Ordered breakfast this morning and sent my husband to pick it up. Apparently the man that came in before my husband got our order and the girl looks at my husband and says I don't know what you want to do about it???? Who does that! She continued to be rude and we ended up with the other mans order just because it was very busy and my husband didn't want to wait! Better get more experienced, friendly girls to work your front counter WOW read more

Slow service, undercooked eggs, cold toast that came after I had eaten my potatoes and bacon. Need I say more?

Poor service. Went back to the restrooms and all the waitresses were sitting in booths in the back, not on the floor seeing if patrons needed anything. I had to go tell them we wanted to order. Bathrooms were filthy, even the cover on the baby changing table. Won't be going back!! read more

The food was mediocre and the waitress was nice but very slow. Brought us the wrong drinks, barely came around and offered no condiments. Ordered the ham and cheese omelet. You would think for the price that you would get actual cheese and not kraft singles. Will not be going back to Stacks. read more

Our waitress didn't seem to speak much English, and was very soft spoken. We asked if the meal came w/fries & all she said was "chips". Fries were available for an up charge, but she didn't offer them. She did proceed to say "tomato" 3 times & after our 3rd "what"?? She said "soup". My husband & I just looked at each other bewildered. Then she completed a full, albeit quiet, sentence asking us if we wanted tomato soup. How she got there from asking if the meal came w/fries is beyond me. She was nice & attentive though. No complaints about her service after the initial ordering. The iced tea was watery and just yucky for lack of a better word. I exchanged it for a Sprite. The chicken Philly was good, but a little dry. I got some BBQ sauce to help it out & then it was delicious! One of the best sauces I've had in a long time. read more

Great service! Never had to ask for refills. I ordered the Half and Half (biscuits and gravy and American fries), had a kick to it which I like! The food came out quick and hot which I appreciated as I had an 18 mo old with me. Will be back for sure. read more

I am never, ever disappointed when I go. It is one of my favorite restaurants in town. The waitresses and waiters are also so friendly. If something is wrong, they are happy to accommodate. Every food I have gotten there, tastes amazing. read more

My rating was for NO STARS., though this site MAKES me choose ONE. This is why: I cannot eat gluten. So I ordered a skillet meal from Stacks with potatoes, eggs, and any meat(s) and/or veggies you want included with it. It came with a side of pancakes or toast. I asked the waitress if they could substitute the toast or pancakes with either a fruit cup, cottage cheese, sliced tomatoes, or the like. She said that they could not, unless I was willing to pay additional for it. I said I was willing to pay additional if necessary. We got the bill, and they charged us $3.50 for a tiny scoop of cottage cheese, which was for an additional side item, not a replacement. I spoke to the manager and told him that I thought I was paying the difference between the cost of toast or pancakes and the substitute, but not a separate side cost. He proceeded to argue with me, raising his voice higher and higher, and bringing up stuff that was not even relevant to the issue at hand. He was very unreasonable, and I told him that most other restaurants are accommodating to those with allergy issues, and that it was wrong to take advantage of that by charging for an extra side. So needless to say, we will not be returning there. :( read more
