Stack’s Kitchen

I love Stack’s. I had always heard about Stack’s but had never been. I finally had a taste of it when they catered a party I was attending. Their cannolis sold me! My family and I finally went to the restaurant for lunch. It was lunch on a weekday and it was packed! I knew they get busy but I wasn’t expecting a 40 minute wait during a mid-​week lunch. We’ve been looking for a delicious breakfast restaurant/​diner since we moved here two years ago and we finally found it at Stack’s! The menu is vast and the service is fast and great. The cannolis are the best I’ve ever had and my Italian husband couldn’t agree more! Despite the long wait, we will definitely be back, especially for the cannolis!

Stacks is a great local place to grab a delicious breakfast. They only serve breakfast and lunch so don’t attempted for dinner but otherwise you will not be disappointed. The food is fresh, they squeeze their own orange juice and the quantity given to you is very good value. Previously they were in a pretty small building which made wait times a little long but their new location has more seating and is quite nice and clean.

First stop for food in Charlotte (or the surrounding areas rather) and it was amazing! Staff was super friendly and attentive. The portions were massive and really fresh. We’re new to the area and if this is a preview of the locals I can’t wait to be one!

As you guessed, great pancakes. Varieties are endless and you pick the stack size you want.
Good food but get there early, parking is spotty and sometimes difficult. Typical breakfast fair eggs, toast, hash browns, crisp bacon.
Casual atmosphere and tightly packed tables. Prices are typical for breakfast.

After reading all of the reviews. .some good. .some not so good. .I have to say I have been a customer since they have opened here in Waxhaw 6 years ago. .the sense of feeling important. .watching the owner work just as hard as his employees. …always seeing the same smiling faces. …and everyone knowing everyone’s name is amazing. …this is definitely a family oriented business as they all seem like family themselves. .the small town feeling. .the regulars asking to see George the owner just to say hello. …the food is amazing. …the wait at the door and the wait for the food is well worth it. .be patient my friends as you can see everyone in there is working hard and working together. …they don’t miss a beat. …give it a try

After waiting for nearly an hour for our table and being told they «forgot to put us on the list» we finally were seated. We waited for over 45 minutes and our food came out cold. We told the owner about our experience and said we would eat the food because we had waited for so long but just wanted to let him know, he said he’d take care of it. Well when our bills came out we were actually overcharged. When we asked to speak to the owner again they said «he’s in the kitchen and can’t come out» he finally came out after making us wait and said «ok, what do you want. A free meal Or something? «We insisted that we pay but it was the principle of how our visit went. In a very condescending and rude manor he said to us «your food wasn’t actually cold.» He then proceeded to chase us out the door calling us assholes, telling us we «looked funny», were «ugly bitches», and that we could «wash his dishes» if we needed a job. I’ve never actually written a bad Unilocal review but this needed to be shared. Such a bummer because we used to go there often but will NEVER be back. It’s sad to me that people feel they can act a certain way just because they are the «owner». If they need a dish washer, maybe he should go back to that, customer service is definitely not his strength! In other news, our server was great!

Tried the berry waffle and the Popeye skillet with over-​medium fried eggs. It’s decent, and the coffee could be better, but ask for a grilled biscuit on the side and you won’t be sorry!

Had lunch there (Waxhaw) yesterday (8÷14÷2015). Food was good, but service was a little off. She never checked in to see if we needed anything and we had to flag her down when we to get some ketchup, the one on table was empty. She never brought our check so we had to go up front for them to pull it up. Will go back because food was good and it looked like everyone else (that did not have our waitress, people beside us had our waitress and looked a little disappointed also) was getting good service.

The new location is so fresh and so much bigger! I love eating at the counter as it brings back memories of my father and I going to diners together.
You can’t go wrong with any of the breakfast dishes and I especially love the challah French toast selections.
George really cares about his place, his patrons and his staff!

Love the new location but we also liked the last spot in Waxhaw a lot too. Very affordable, fresh, and our top breakfast place by far. Get the fresh squeezed OJ — it’s worth it!

Love the new location. Still great food and service, but now the atmosphere is much better. The food always is fresh and plentiful.
A restaurant is always better when the owner is there, and it seems George is always there. Great for Breakfast and Lunch.

Food was really great. Unfortunately the service was terrible. Order came out wrong and food for the table was not served together. When we told the server we were missing an item didn’t apologize or try to rectify the situation just deducted the amount from the bill. If you are going to be busy you need to not get flustered and maintain great customer service.

Need to check out their new restaurant in the food lion plaza. Much bigger with more seating and room. Food is still the same, awesome!!! Anything on the menu is worth it.

Obsessed. This is def not a place to go and try to watch your cals. #treatyoself and go for the French toast and beware… a side of bacon feeds 2, possibly 3. If you’re like me, though you’ll just take care of it yourself. It gets busy on Sunday, but they move quick.

Haven’t been to the new place yet but previous experience was great! Delish breakfast and fast service!
Prepare to wait but it is well worth it

Food delicious, the fresh squeezed juice is awesome and prices are very good same as waitress we are for sure coming back

Great food and friendly service! I’d come here just for the fresh squeezed orange juice!!!

Way too noisy and slow getting our breakfast. The eggs were not hot. Pancakes were excellent.
When I went to the register to pay, I notice blackboard specials and my wife’s egg plate was up there but they charged me menu price. I asked the woman at register why I was charged menu price only to be told «something to do with amount of bacon». Really? I won’t be going back even if it’s the only choice in Waxhaw.

Wow. I didn’t have really high expectations when we found ourselves waiting in line for a table last Saturday… especially given that they looked like «the only game in town» for Breakfast/​Brunch in Waxhaw.
However, as we stood there waiting, I kept seeing all these plates of yummy looking food being delivered all around us. Then I noticed the chalk board with specials… and started to re-​think my initial impression.
I think our wait for a table was around 30 mins… which isn’t bad considering how busy they were.
So once we were seated, time to really focus on the task at hand: deciding what to eat. I must say, their menu is impressive… if you can’t find something that appeals to you here, I don’t think you can find it anywhere!
I am a huge fan of yummy breakfast & go to a lot of places that serve only b-​fast & lunch. I can’t tell you how many times I have been bummed out to find a limited menu that does not interest me. Thankfully that was not the case here. I saw a lot on their menu that appealed to me and I had a tough time deciding what to try.
For this visit, I ordered the red velvet pancakes with a side of turkey sausage & a scrambled egg. I knew ahead of time that it would be way too much food & it was… so I took home ½ of my pancakes & turkey sausage for later (the trick is making sure the pancakes don’t get soggy, which thankfully they did not).
Honestly, the red velvet pancakes just tasted like regular pancakes that were dyed red…(i have run into this elsewhere too) but I did like that they were served with a little whipped cream, fresh strawberries and a yummy cream cheese concotion. And I was very pleased that they offer turkey sausage for people like me who do not eat pork.
So, breakfast was good… not the «best ever» but it was good and our server was very good. We will definitely be going back as there is much to try on their menu!

Back again. Really a good place, but get there early, especially on weekends.
Had the chicken and dumplings and they were different, but excellent. The dumplings were wide, thin, flat noodles covered with a yellow gravy along with chunks of chicken floating around. It was so good that I wanted to eat it all, tried hard, but just could not finish the mammoth portion, but really, really wanted to do it.
Parking is Hell. There is private parking in front, but not enough. Cars are abandoned all over the businesses on both sides and along the road. And you could get boxed in by some inattentive parker. Just no room to expand and I don’t think that they want to build a multi story parking garage.
Another occasion I had a cup of bean and sausage soup. It was outstanding and I regretted not ordering a bowl with my gargantuan breakfast. When I checked out I told the cashier/​manager about how yummy the soup was and he asked to kitchen for a takeout of the soup for me… gratis. What a nice place and demonstration of customer satisfaction.
Fight the parking and the wait and get in there. Worth is 100%
