Stacks

Generous portions of homemade crepes, waffles, and pancakes served with fresh eggs and friendly service in a warm atmosphere.

Stacks gives breakfast and brunch a full menu of possibilities at its El Camino Real location in Redwood City. The pancake choices go well beyond plain, with lemon, ricotta, and raspberry; banana, macadamia, and coconut; and oatmeal apple among the combinations. We like that the sweeter dishes have as much variety as the eggs and savory plates. The Farmers Breakfast brings eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and potatoes together, while chicken-fried steak with mushroom gravy offers another substantial choice. Benedicts, omelettes, and skillets let diners follow different breakfast cravings, and Texas toast with fruit compote adds a classic alternative. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and dedicated gluten-free menu sections broaden the options. Stacks is appealing for a group whose ideal brunch might mean anything from a stack of pancakes to a hearty skillet or savory egg plate.
