Staks and it's crew were wonderful. This was our last meal while in Memphis for this trip and the service was top notch. They took a large sudden party with ease and made it happen. Service was great and food was even better. Food was so decadent and delicious. Can't say much more about how great everything was. read more

Cute inside. Service was fine. Everyone was nice. The coffee was terrible and especially for the good brand of coffee. It must've been sitting there too long or too strong, but it was gross. Hibiscus and gravy were not the greatest. I've had much better. The tot bowl was not bad. The pancake beignets we're not cooked in the middle. One lady said it was cream, but beignets are cooked all the way through and it did taste like pancake batter. Sadly we will not be back. read more

Very cute diner like vibe. The service was great! My waitress was fast & super friendly. I was completely underwhelmed by the food. I had the chicken parm omelette & the cinnamon roll pancake for my side. The omelette was decent but the fried chicken on top was so bland and the breading was peeling off of the meat. It was very much giving frozen chicken. As for the side, the pancake itself was again, decent but the cream cheese icing that was drizzled on top tasted like the little can of cream cheese icing that comes with the pillsbury cinnamon rolls. I overall was just not impressed. read more

I visit often for the Philly Omelet, but today's experience was a huge letdown. The omelet was severely undercooked (liquid eggs inside), and the biscuit tasted like it was directly out of the fridge into a mitco. I ended up leaving 80% of my meal on the plate. I really hope this was a one-time fluke and not the new standard. read more

This was my first time visiting and I can't wait to go back! The entire experience was great from the service to the food to the ambiance. I'm so glad they have various options. I tried chicken sausage for the first time and it was delicious. They are full of flavor. I had the egg whites to go along with it as well as the Gouda cheese grits. Everything was really good and filling. The pancake was delicious. I can't wait to go back for more. The caramel macchiato was good as well. The price point is good as well. Cool spot! read more

Terrible customer service and very unprofessional. I booked a reservation for mother's day and they cancelled the day before due to being "overbooked". They claim their system overbooked them but I booked last week over the phone not online. I was told I did not confirm my reservation but was never sent a confirmation text message, only a message telling me I had to move my reservation because a table was no longer available. It is quite inconvenient to do this the day before mother's day when everything is already booked up! read more

This place is at the end of a strip mall and right beside Chilis. The parking lot is pretty small. This place has a digital waitlist on Yelp that we previously used but today was a slow day so we just walked in. This is a brunch spot favorite on the weekend but during the week it is not busy at all. You are welcome to sit down at any open table. You wait in line with the menu and place your order up front. You have to pay and tip before your experience starts. Then you sit down and wait for your food. The food was great and the service was much better this time. We got our food in about 15 minutes. I ordered the Cinnamon roll pancake and chicken parmesan omelet. Be sure to ask for syrup. The pancake tasted good and just like a cinnamon roll. You will need water to wash down all the sugar. The chicken parmesan omelet was the highlight. Regular omelet filled with cheese and spinach but on top is a fried chicken filet topped with marinara sauce. read more

If Dennis W is your server, leave. He's awful and extremely slow. Not a review person but it's was that bad. Food is great but I'd recommend getting it to go instead of dealing with incompetent servers. read more

Staff was very nice. Our server Lana was outstanding and got so many compliments from my 10 and 5 year old! Food was great too! 10 out of 10, we'll be back! read more

I picked a sweet spot time to visit, which was around 11am on a Sunday. Most places would be packed, but they didn't start getting a line until after noon. They have an interesting counter service order procedure where you need to secure a table (on your own) prior to ordering, so they can bring your food to that table. I enjoyed my chicken sausage skillet, but it was oddly kinda sweet. So I put a little Cholula on it, but it didn't change the flavor. My friend ordered the egg rolls, but only ate 1 because he didn't like them. Overall, they have a vast menu to explore, including lunch items. Check them out. read more

Food was good. Service was slower than usual. Ordered a Bloody Mary and was informed that the olives, okra and lime that are the garnishes pictured are infused into the drink and are not available to eat. Overcharged for the drink which threw off the automatic 18% gratuity. Took way too much time to fix. Not coming back! read more

The folks here are nice and the food is delivered quickly. Overall, you're going for breakfast and getting breakfast fare. My one concern is that it can be quite loud between the music volume and the natural noise of the diners. That.m being said, the manager has been responsive to my concerns about the speaker volume and turned them down in the past. Again--the folks here are great. Recently they added new menu items and let patrons sample them. The eggs Benedict with salmon and a Dijon-based sauce was solid. Otherwise, we snag the large stack and split it between two adults and a 2 year old. read more

Breana was a great server we really enjoyed our experience because of her! She was so professional and sweet. I was a manager and worked in the service industry for years. I was very impressed by her. She was quick and so kind to my rowdy toddler. The food was wonderful as always. The entire staff was so patient again with my rowdy toddler. Sorry. read more

Not a bad place just a bad experience. Staff were very nice and accommodating. The coffee was so bitter 6 sugars and cream wouldn't take the edge off. The biscuits and gravy had a good taste but were too dry. My wife had the avocado toast and said it was great. So... I will be back to try other items. read more

A solid 4! Great atmosphere and customer service. Staff works as a team! You order at the cashier and pay before sitting to eat. We were greeted immediately as we walked thru the door. We were the last to leave after they closed but they didn't rush us. Order one meal it is enough food. Skip the alcohol, don't get me wrong the bartender does not disappoint. But the flight was 24$. But it was so good! And yes they serve more than breakfast items like pasta and more. read more

I read the reviews about wait times and was nervous about coming here but we like to eat local and it wasn't too far from our hotel. We literally got there right before the crowd rush did so things worked out for us. Basically, you get in line at the counter, order and tell them what table you'll sit at. It wasn't that busy so we didn't have to grab a table first. I ordered the short stack with scrambled eggs and ordered the blueberry syrup with regular coffee. My friend got two pancakes, a side of bacon and grits and regular coffee. I wish I had gone with the two pancakes. The pancakes were amazing and they were huge! The short stack came with four. My friend and I could have split that order. The blueberry syrup was more like a compote to me. It wasn't the texture and taste I was hoping for. The eggs were the liquid/powder kind which I wouldn't have ordered if I knew that. My friend said her bacon was good but her grits looked like oatmeal and did not taste good at all. We decided that maybe it was actually cream of wheat or something because they were definitely not the grits we expected her to receive. Service is top notch. Everyone was super friendly and the wait time for our food was less then 20 minutes. read more

The food is good, but not worth the price. I've had the confetti pancakes, cinnamon roll pancakes, fresh toast & the breakfast egg rolls (needed salt & pepper). I've also tried the sausage skewers which were average. Overall it's a nice breakfast spot. read more

First experience was amazing! Food: breakfast burger has all you could want between two thick slices of fresh French toast it is a total winner. Hash browns, fried egg, cheese and bacon, what's not to love!?!!! Service: friendly, and attentive. Their menu pricing is above average and worthwhile. Ambience: definitely a chic, retro vibes breakfast diner, that will treat you to a laid back environment. Couples and family friendly, welcoming and clean. Parking is competitive to say the least. read more

Seating on a Saturday was awful. We, a party or 3, were signed in and told we would be on a 1 1/2 waiting list. We sat inside for about an hour seeing ppl come on and be seated. It got to a point customers and workers asked if we were still waiting. Eventually a manager came and told us to have a seat at a table. This made me wonder if the check-in person wasn't doing her job correctly. The food was mediocre at best. To wait that long to be seated and not have the best food was very disappointing. The lady at the counter taking orders didn't seem to be having a good day. She was borderline rude and too nonchalant to be in a customer service role. Ok place if you starving and have absolutely no other place to go. Manager and waiter did their best, but the overall experience was not good. In Seating on a Saturday was awful.

I think this place needs some work. They day we went the system was down, which meant all non-cash orders had to be placed online. This added $1-$2 per item which was annoying. Also, alcohol wasn't available online so that changed the brunch game for us. Food was alright. I've had better pancakes. The biscuit sandwich was wayyyyy too much biscuit, you couldn't even take a bit of it. The only thing delicious were the sausage sticks. I also didn't like the "order at the counter" concept. A place like that needs table wait staff. read more

Wow, just wow! Staks is SO good! This place came recommended when we planned our trip to Memphis, so we made sure to check it out. Specifically the cinnamon roll pancakes, we were told to for sure try those. When we arrived there was a wait, but they got through the line pretty quickly, we maybe waited 15 minutes. Once you get in, it's counter service, and then you go to your assigned table the host gave you. It really is a great set up that I think a lot more restaurants would benefit from. We ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes of course, and then went with the biscuits and gravy for a savory balance to our sweet. Cinnamon roll pancakes, wow, you don't need syrup for these! They are sweet, but not cloying. The perfect combination of a cinnamon roll and a pancake! It still has that classic pancake quality, but really has the bread/doughy consistency of a cinnamon roll. With just the cream cheese frosting on top, it is plenty sweet. We used none of the syrup (and I LOVE syrup) Biscuits and gravy, holy cow. These were DELICIOUS. The biscuits were the biggest, fluffiest, most delicious biscuits I think I've ever had. The gravy was savory to a T, so much flavor packed in I could barely handle it. I loved the pancakes, but I still dream of those biscuits drowning in that gravy. So. Good. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you are exploring Memphis. read more

The color palette for the restaurant is pretty shocking-turquoise white and purple. Barbie Style. But the food was fresh and tasty. It is a simple menu nothing crazy. You have to o order at the counter then seat yourself ( that was our experience) read more

I've gone there before with great experiences. The last time I went the hostess/waitress was too busy taking take out orders to both with us. It took 25 mins to get out soup, we happily left, talked to manager or owner that gave us a refund that seemed concerned and listened. Hopefully they will get someone to just work their to go orders and get back or track! read more

I've tried coming here a few times but the wait is always insanely long. Finally got in this morning with no wait and had quick service. Ordered two different kind of pancakes and the sausages inside a pancake. I was unaware that you order your food at the counter so keep that in mind if you prefer having a waiter! Plenty of parking read more

The food was pretty good. Place was empty except for us and blasting music where we could barely have conversation at our table. When asking the staff to turn it down slightly , they said that they don't control the volume and can't adjust it. Glad Memphis has many options for breakfast. read more

The 1st time we ate...the food was really good, service was great and received timely coffee refills. However our this became the beginning and end of satisfying experiences. On our 2nd visit, my husband ordered the salmon omelette and we both only saw 1 tiny piece of salmon. I ordered the maple pancake with sausage in the middle...BIG mistake...pancake was not done when I bit into it. UGH!!! The service was an afterthought and the was obviously having a bad day. Decided maybe the entire staff was having a bad day, so we go for a 3rd visit. Absolutely worse experience again, same on the salmon and pancakes. THAT's ALL FOLKS!!! We are waving the white flag on the Pancake Beignets and Smoked Salmon Omelette.Chicken Sausage. read more

Such a disappointment. I was really looking forward to brunch here. I ordered the Monte Cristo and my boyfriend ordered the traditional French Toast. We also ordered the Pancake Beignets and the Bacon Sampler to tease our tastebuds. As they were listed as shareables, we expected they would come a little earlier than the food. Unfortunately this was not the case. I did get my mimosa right away, however we were seated close to the bar and I noted the lady making drinks gave me a short pour as she was too lazy to open a new bottle of bubbly. My glass was only half full at best and I later watched her walk by with almost overflowing glasses in every other direction. I have to give it to the business owner though, he gets you locked in from the get go. You join a waitlist, however the waitlist only gets you in a line to order your food. You then have to pay and tip up front. After which you are able to be seated at your assigned table. We were in the wait list for 45 minutes, even though we were quoted 15-20. I'm not too bothered by that though. I love a bougie breakfast and have been known to wait up to two hours for some of my favorite eats (Saddle Creek Breakfast Club in Omaha, I'm referring to you love - always worth the wait). After we waited for more than an hour for our food, we noted those sitting around us receiving theirs before ours arrived. The server finally realized this too as the girl at the next table said "Wow, we got our food before them and we were several people behind them in line". Yah, girl! And your complex food looked amazing. We simply ordered French toast and what was essentially a grilled hot ham and cheese. Finally our food began to arrive. The beignets and bacon did come first, however the French Toast accompanied them. The beignets were not disappointing, I recommend the Carmel dipping sauce! The bacon was mediocre, but don't waste your money on the chocolate bacon. Literally a slice of bacon with Hershey syrup poured over it, which I scraped off after one nibble - can't waste good bacon. With my companion's French Toast plated in front of him, I eagerly awaited my Monte Cristo. Sadly, I had to wait another fifteen minutes before it arrived. My poor boyfriend, being ever the polite one, had to endure his now chilled French Toast because he was waiting for my food to arrive before he began. The bread for my sandwich was soggy, it wasn't dusted with powdered sugar and the meat was three times more hot than the bread itself. My hash browns were missing the cheese that had been added and upcharged for as well. I did point that out and they were quick to correct it, however the correction was added a little shredded cheese and tossing it in the nuker. The server handed me the scorching hot plate with the now sweaty shredded cheddar and I was done. I did eat half of the sandwich and left the rest. Before tip, this meal cost us $55. If your food is good, I will pay high dollar without a second thought. Like I mentioned earlier, I love a bougie breakfast. This was probably the most disappointing breakfast I have ever had. As we left the restaurant, we noted most of the tables had a large amount of food left behind and I can promise it wasn't from the generous portions. There are several other places in Memphis to eat. Don't waste your time with this one. read more

How does this place not have 5 stars!? Super cute and inviting! I came before an early flight home on a Saturday morning wasn't busy yet but things were picking up as I was leaving. Was very clean and the girl at the counter that helped me was super friendly and gave great advice on what to try. I ended up getting breakfast tacos and one banana pudding pancake and wow! Everything was really good fresh and tasty. If you are in the area I would check it out and if you do definitely get at least one pancake! read more
