Dear Yelp Community,…read more Finally, after passing this long-standing local establishment many times, I stopped to try the breakfast (as recommended by a local), and well worth it! I tried a classic breakfast with eggs, toast, and hash browns. Sandra, the server, has been working here more than 40 years! All good, and friendly staff. The interior décor is great! Although renovated, they tried to replace the original feel with wood panels, bright colors, and old-school countertop. Please keep this legacy in business. Thank you for feeding me this Labor Day. Best wishes. Sincerely, Anna

We mostly go for breakfast and the food has always been great. However, we were just there for…read moreFather's Day and as expected, it was packed. But come to find out after an hour later, the girl who seats you forgot about us. After being seated, it took another hour for the food to come out. Keep in mind, we ordered everything right when we sat down because we were watching the tables as we were waiting for ours. One thing we observed was how the front door worker was seating people. Party of 4 was seated with three tables. There was room to move the tables apart and seat others who had been waiting but that didn't happen. We came here for Mother's Day and it was packed but service was quick. Not sure what went wrong on staff for Father's Day but it was not pleasant.

The chili verde omelet is perfect for people trying to hit their protein goals because it was packed with pork! I also recommend asking for the hash browns extra crispy so the crust is crispy but the inside is fluffy. I also really enjoyed the seasonal kabocha (pumpkin) pancakes. It tasted like fall on a plate. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining. It's the perfect place to take people visiting if they want the California brunch experience!

There's limited indoor seating, but plenty outdoor. The only issue is that there are a LOT of birds who will steal your food if you're not paying attention. Other than that it's a fun brunch vibe in a bustling area! I got the breakfast quesadilla with carne asada and it was MASSIVE. I literally ate it for 3 meals! I loved how cheesy and stuffed it was, and they were not skimpy at all on the carne asada either! The carne asada was also juicy and tender, which is nice because I feel like some breakfast places have really dry carne asada. The sauces and pico it came with were also good and my favorite was the creamy green one. Potatoes were nice and crispy too. I come back here all the time and it's definitely worth the wait!

But honestly, I didn't know it was 95% outdoor seating. Had I known, I would have not picked this place for brunch. About the food, I read my friend Bonnie's review. And she and I are always spot on as Foodies. Maybe it's not as good as before. I'm really not sure. But I wouldn't go out of my way to return. I absolutely hate aggressive birds flying right above my head chasing food on a platter or leftovers on a table. Unsanitary to say the least. I think the house potatoes are the stars of the show. Everything else was heavy and very greasy. A lot of reviewers noted that the Pastrami Hash was to die for. IMO it needed a crunchy texture to it. Pickles would have been a great add on. My chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes on a biscuit wasn't proportional. Leaving it kind of messy to eat. It was also too heavy. The fries added to the greasy textures. In summary, I would say 2/5 is fair game in a Foodie mind.

We try to make it there at least once or twice a month. Their prices are very reasonable, the food is consistently good, and you know exactly what you're going to get without worrying about spending too much. The restaurant is almost always busy during breakfast, and it's pretty rare that you can walk in without waiting for a table. But honestly, the wait is worth it. The service has always been good, and I can't remember ever having a bad server there. Now, let's be honest--it's an older, somewhat rundown restaurant. It's definitely not the place you go for fancy surroundings or an upscale atmosphere. But when it comes to the food, Cowgirls delivers. The portions are good, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. For us, it's a reliable neighborhood breakfast spot that keeps us coming back.

The morning after a birthday celebration in Irvine, California, I slept in and texted family on…read morewhere they wanted to go grab brunch. We selected Stacks. Any breakfast place is generally good, since it generally has majority of what people enjoy at breakfast. Traditional foods and plates makes breakfast the most popular of any meal. Enter Stacks. My family and I came here around 10am on a Sunday morning in September 2026. It was busy but we got a table almost immediately for a table of 4. We probably spent about an hour here before eating and enjoying the food and paying for the food. Truth be told that my weekend in Irvine was nice and too bad I didn't get a chance to extend my stay here. The restaurant itself was small, but it felt like 2x the size of Starbucks cafe, maybe 2.5x the space that Starbucks usually allows. The decor was nice, cool, and felt like it was home for a little bit. We ordered from the breakfast side of things and I had the corned beef hash platter with pancakes. We paid upfront first like a fast food counter. We would take a number thingy and they'd bring the food out in porcelain plates like normal restaurants. I guess it beats having servers to take your orders and other staff to bring out food. Cuts down on dividing up tasks and jobs within the restaurant I suppose. For the most part though, the brunch here at Stacks was good and nice. Definitely good and typical for breakfast and lunch, depending on the time of day you come here. Recommend the corned beef hash. It was cooked beautifully and the eggs were good too. My niece ended up not touching her French fries she ordered so I got to eat those as well. All in all, it was a swell meal here in Irvine before flying home. The overall experience here at Stacks restaurant in Irvine California was good and very chill. I enjoyed the fact that they had a large chalkboard that had had their menu and specials written out. The chalkboard was a nice touch than a digital menu, which stood loud and was large. I don't know if they had paper menus but the chalkboard menu still works since it's large and easy to read and explain to many customers. The food itself was good and definitely worth coming here. The service was generally good and friendly. Stacks is your quintessential place for your breakfast needs and can be budget friendly place to be on a Sunday morning like I was. For the most part though, it was a good place to have breakfast in Irvine, California before heading north to LAX for the flight home. The restaurant itself was clean and quite stylish for a restaurant that seems almost decorative like a cafe. And so, if you find yourself here in Irvine and want breakfast, consider coming to Stacks for your breakfast and lunch. They'll be glad to have you. I definitely recommend coming here, especially the corned beef hash. While traveling, I try to enjoy the finer things in life especially during breakfast time. Stacks restaurant is located in Irvine, California. It's physically located in 1441 Culver Drive in the heart of Irvine. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's a good amount of parking here, depending if you get here early enough. We got here early on a Sunday morning to secure a prime parking spot. Best bet would be to come early before the parking lot fills up to capacity. As far as public transportation goes, choose the cheapest option you can to get here to Stacks restaurant. There's always uber and lyft to cater to your needs as well, but not always the cheapest. And so, consider yourself prepared for a good meal here at Stacks restaurant. The pancakes are good and fluffy while the eggs and French fries are delicious and tasty. Do yourself a favor and come here on your next trip to Irvine, California. You won't regret it. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B+
