Stacks Pancake House

Stacks is a busy place. I felt fortunate to have found a table right as we arrived, because 20 minutes later, it was SRO!

My wife and daughter like pancakes. They both had short stacks of buttermilk pancakes and a side of two egg whites. I ordered scrambled eggs, sausage and home fries.

All that, a large OJ and a cup of coffee, $25 and change.

Girls both enjoyed their pancakes, neither could finish the short stack.

My entree was fine, there was a disturbing crunch of what may have been bone in one of the sausages, they appeared to be Farmer John's brand, can't blame the restaurant for that.

Bottom line, this was just an OK experience, don't really know why they are so busy, I would have rather gone to Proud Mary's in the harbor, but we have been seeing the crowded patio at Stacks for a few years and wanted to give it a shot.

I guess you have to be a big pancake or French Toast person, just not my cup of tea.

Great brunch spot in Dana Point. Was busy which I guess is good because people are willing to wait for a table. Kaluha Pork Eggs Benedict was amazing!!

Pancakes!! These were some of the best flapjacks I have ever tasted.  I am not sure if the syrup that came with it was butter pecan or not, but it was amazing.  I ordered the corned beef hash, which was just ok.  Its always hard to order from a place you have never been to before, especially when everything looks so good.  Next time I will go for the french toast.  Outdoor seating is nice because the inside of the place is tiny and the line was out the door. You place your order at the counter then grab a seat.  Looking forward to returning!
