The food can be very good. However you pay and tip prior to being served so if you have a bad experience, you have no recourse. They came out to our table and said they were out of what we ordered and would be substituting an item. When we tried to say we didn't want the substitute item and inquired about a different solution, the guy shrugged and said there may be a price difference so, he couldn't help us. Actually our solution cost less than our original order. Tgey just didn't give a damn. read more

It was our first visit to Staks early on gameday and we had a great first visit. Food was excellent, a little on the large plate size so you will not leave hungry. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and had the ordering process explained to us. All the staff seemed happy to be there and eager to serve. We will definitely be going back. Glad to see Auburn add another breakfast choice! read more

Would not recommend this place. Spoiled avocado on my toast and I asked the server and he told me it was normal and then walked away. No option to tip after you eat, you have to wait in line and order at the counter before you sit down. Very bad customer service. read more

Always great to find GOOD food in the heart of downtown Auburn. Even being a game day, the wait was minimal. Recommend the Lemon Blueberry French Toast or the Chicken & Grits (which was very well seasoned) read more

I ordered pickup online (keep in mind this was my first time here) when I went in I asked where the "to-go" orders were, the employee acted like it was the dumbest question. Then I stood and waited for my order and the employee asked me "are you lost?" And laughed at me. My order had not been prepared yet and she was laughing at me because I was apparently in the wrong spot. And worst of all was that my order was very dry and I only ended up eating one of the four pancakes and almost choked on them. I would've eaten none of them, but I a hadn't eaten all day and it was already 12. My family will not be coming back here. read more

Weird system. Pricey. Tasted like cafeteria food. Service was ok, ambiance was similar to that of a hospital dining hall

3 of us order everyone order is correct except mine so they brought half my food and say we can go cook your other that we missed but my other food will be cold by the time you do all that so yea bad experience and never again read more

It was very busy but they did an excellent job staying on top of orders. I absolutely loved my meal I got the cinnamon roll pancakes!

The service was great. We went on a slow Tuesday morning and got our food in less than 20 minutes. Pancakes were not as good as I expected them to be. They were very dense and heavy, not much cinnamon either. The Gouda grits were amazing. Diet Coke is nice and crisp. read more

Strange process for ordering, you have to wait in line for a table then wait in line to order food. Think Hotel buffet but poorly executed. Maybe it was just a busy day, but the food was also disappointing. BLT was pitiful. Eggs Benedict was over cooked and had soggy bread, topped with a bizarre clear hollandaise. Whole table had lukewarm food, not a single plate was finished. Only the coffee was enjoyable. Avoid avoid avoid. read more

I am not one to usually leave reviews, but I feel the staff should be aware of how disorganized the place seems. First off we got our table number relatively quick only waiting 15 minutes. Then we got to stand in another line for 30 minutes. We ordered at 12:07 and was shown to our seat. Our party was only 2 so we sat at a communal table. This was not a big deal, but they should ask if you would like to wait longer for a private table. My fiancé's food came out at 12:35 or so, so not a super long wait for hers, but my food did not come out until 12:50 or so. Of course I told her to go ahead and eat while it's hot. When I go out to eat with someone, I usually like to eat with them. I got my food and she has 2-3 bites left. I ordered the power breakfast off the ~healthy~ part of the menu. It was about 14 dollars and was maybe worth 7. It was two egg whites, a piece of sausage, two slivers of avocado, and two small slices of tomato. My avocado was brown and bruised. The food itself was good but was a portion for a child. For my side I ordered a side pancake, and it came out cold. My fiancé's food was pretty good actually and came out hot. I noticed everyone got their food out of order as the man next to me got his French toast 15 minutes before his companion's food came out. Another table of 8 near by had just one person that had food for what seemed 15 minutes or so. Then two had food and then 3. But the gap was pretty significant between the members of the party getting their food. I understand kitchens can back up but food should at least try to come out around the same time... To sum I gave 2 stars because my fiancé's food was good and I would get it again, but it is not worth the wait if busy. It seemed so disorganized. I think if our food came out together, it would have been 4-5 stars. read more

The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. Our family really enjoyed it!

We got here, was told it'd be a 15 minute wait and only had to wait less than 10. The food here is fantastic, one of the largest and tastiest breakfast biscuits I've ever had. The conecuh dogs are definitely a must have. Will definitely be back! read more

I ordered a chicken biscuit and after waiting for a very long time was told they were out of biscuits. They asked if they could put the chicken on a croissant, I asked to switch to the chicken club (which is less expensive than the biscuit) and was told no due to a price difference. Due to their error I was stuck with something I didn't order, did not want and that wasn't even good. read more

The pancakes are really good but the costumers service was disappointing. I waited for my coffee for an hour and the table next to us were waiting for a plate and they left without it because they were tired waiting. read more

This place is so yummy! Highly recommend the biscuits!! They are HUGE and FLUFFY!! The decor of the place is bright and fun. They have great mimosas and other drinks!! Took a while to order/ get our food but service is super friendly!! HUGE menu and great place! Love! read more

Absolutely terrible. I would leave a 0 star if possible. Food is so gross. I've tried for both lunch and breakfast. Service is equally as bad. And BTW their ordering system is ridiculous. They ask for tip before service. Can I go back and refund my gratuity? read more

Food comes out fast but to fast because it's under cooked and cold. And for the price you would expect your hash browns to be warm not room temperature. The eggs don't ask for over easy unless you want you everywhere not cooked at all. read more

I was so disappointed in this place and was excited about going. Waited 30 minutes for my latte only to be told they didn't know how to make it. Food came out - cold eggs- soggy, cold toast. Waste of time and money. read more

This place is very disorganized and plenty of bad business decisions were made to get to this point. First, you wait in a line to get a table (and they didn't remember who came in first). Second, when you were called, you had to wait in another line to order your food. Then you're met with another long wait until your food is brought out. Waiting isn't an issue, but you need value to make the wait worth it and we didn't receive any. For our personal experience, we had a table by the ordering/refill counter so I watched food being raked off plates into the trash and the plates banging around were very loud. Customers had to get up to get their own refills, to go boxes, etc. this made for chaotic environment of people always (almost) bumping into each other and employees bring out food going around corners and up to get refills. My husband ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes and I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I've never met a biscuit and gravy dish that I didn't like until today. The biscuits seemed to be stale and the sawmill gravy was not a normal gravy- spicier for a normal biscuit and gravy dish and not what I would expect. My husbands pancakes weren't cooked all the way through and were impossible to finish. On top of it all, you're asked to tip before you receive any form of service, which seems to be the norm now... we tip very well but it feels like a stick up when we are asked to tip without knowing the quality of service we will be receiving. We were looking for another breakfast restaurant so we are sad to say we won't be back unless we hear that some big changes have been made. read more

The portions were comically small. The food was very good, but for the size of the restaurant the dining experience was cramped. The service was not accommodating either. Prices were more expensive than they should've been for the amount of food and the quality you got. If I was asked to go to here or Cracker Barrel for breakfast I'd pick Cracker Barrel. read more

I tried to give this place another try but there was a long black curly hair in my food. The previous time I ordered hash browns and they came out ice cold. I hope this place is able to figure it out but I will not be back. read more

My wife and I had breakfast 1/27. Our first visit. Greeted as we entered by a staff member that explained the system and provided menus for our review to expedite the ordering process. She also assigned us to a table. Very efficient system. Meals were delivered to our table in a reasonable time. My wife had a make your own omelette which was excellent. I had the two egg breakfast. It was very good. My only other comments are the hash browns were not hot and the biscuit too large. We also did not like the plastic cups for water. We will definitely return. read more

Love this place! Prices are very reasonable and all of their food is outstanding. Service is great too they have a cool system here! Check it out! read more

Overall good experience here! It was busy so we had to wait a few minutes to order. The worst part of our visit was the wait for our food. We probably waited 30 minutes or more for our food and coffee to come out. Once we got our food, it was delicious! Got the honey vanilla iced latte which was good, two breakfast croissants which were yummy, a side pancake which was also yummy. One person in our party got the chicken biscuit and one got the chicken stak, the honey butter was the star of the show! We also got a side of hashbrowns which were decent, not the best ever. Food is expensive but the portions are large. The restaurant has a good vibe that is different for Auburn! I would come back! read more

My fav place for breakfast in Auburn! I literally crave the pancakes! We order to go all the time!

Very nice traditional breakfast spot.. prices a little steep, most of the food is delicious and you get a nice portion of pancakes but the French toast portion not as much. read more

Pancakes are solid. Chicken biscuits are delicious with portions big enough for 2. Don't go if you're in a hurry though.

I decided to give this restaurant a second try today after the horrible service and food opening weekend and am greatly disappointed. I was so excited for a breakfast restaurant downtown Auburn and this did not hit the spot. At all. The customer service was absolutely awful, the hostess was not welcoming, and even the woman taking our order was hostile. I normally don't leave these reviews, but if you're considering coming here, honestly just don't. The lay out and system of getting the food / order is very disorganized as well. I get needing a few months to get things started and settled, but there's no excuse for poor costumer service. Not to mind our food, which had 2 bugs crawling in the butter on top of the pancake and a hair in the drink. and all the food was cold. Tip: Go to Waffle House instead read more

The food was adequate at best. The service was poor, simply because we sat in maple syrup, which stained our shorts. Further, extra gratuity was added without warning. This place does not warrant the 25 minute wait in any way shape or form. read more

The food was amazing. I got the chicken biscuit with honey butter and it was so good. You do have to order at the counter before you sit down. read more

Food was delicious. Service was great, everyone was super nice. I see people complaining about how the ordering system works, which is stupid. Just wait in line and you'll be fine. The place is very cute as well, the indoor and outdoor seating is great. read more

I have ate here several times and have enjoyed it each and every time! I really love their Gouda grits!

The best breakfast/brunch place in Auburn!! Service was fantastic and everything was so clean and nice! The food was delicious! Highly recommend the cinnamon roll pancakes and the conecuh dogs! Definitely will be back! read more

lots of food for cheap! the pancakes were great but 1.50 for each topping on a pancake read more

haley is amazing!! i was skeptical at first but after meeting her i will be back. i will be coming back just for her drinks and service read more

Weird service situation. There is no need for a hostess if it is counter service but then the menu is too large for counter service alone. Food was ok. Pancakes were good but the burrito was soggy and the hash browns were tasteless and cold. There weren't enough people working either because it felt like the cashier was doing everything a server should do. read more

The concept is extremely strange to me. If there is a wait you wait on waiting just to wait in line to order your food yourself from the front than be sat down at a assigned table. Sometimes they even put you right next to other people if you're a small party at a large communal table even if there are open private tables around.The food is OK but not worth the price especially for the portion sizes. read more
