    Corned bed with egg whites and diced potatoes

    Better than last visit though there was a slight stench of something moist in the air. Not sure if sewer, but food was good. Server was on point for most part except when asking for take out containers; took a bit. Water guy didn't speak though he spoke to other tables. The female cashier didn't say anything until she swiped my debit card and asked if I wanted to leave a tip. No hi, no thank u which means last time patronizing this spot.

    We ordered the omelette and breakfast sandwich and enjoyed the breakfast sandwich the most. It was loaded with turkey bacon and cooked nicely. The omelette was alright while the potatoes carried the meal. The pancakes were too crispy on the outside and not just on the edges so it gave it a weird dry texture. We didn't finish those. But I'd return any day for a breakfast sandwich. It was also really hot inside the restaurant. Idk if it was bc it was early morning but it was almost unbearable.

    I had been attempting to visit Maple N Jams Cafe during the family's annual day after Thanksgiving brunch, but I'm glad I wait because we have a party of eight, this location doesn't take reservations, and there's definitely a 20-minute wait. The waitresses are super-friendly and knows the local return visitors.  The hubby had the buttermilk pancakes with a build your own omelette, a healthy side of hashbrowns and pancakes.  His omelette included chicken, chorizo, mushrooms and jalapenos.  I was a little adventurous and got the House Skillet and Stuffed Strawberry French Toast. Well maybe I was too adventurous because the french toast had an option of using glazed strawberries and usually that is too sticky and thick with cornstarch and I'm not a fan, but without it, the french toast is pretty dry.  That's okay, I took them home and used some authentic strawberry syrup which made this dish so much better.  The skillet had a great savory flavor too, the eggs were fluffy and the all the ingredients melded so well together!  This restaurant definitely has something going here! :-)

    The food was as amazing as other Yelpers have indicated. The ambience is great for breakfast or lunch and the service is awesome. In fact, the service is the reason for my 5 stars. The food came out cold and I had to send the potatoes back twice however, our server was on top of her game (Vickie)! My wife had the banana foster French toast. The description was correct when it described this as decadent. Me on the other hand, my breakfast was basic (personal choice) eggs, house potatoes and sausage. Hmmm, the sausage was better than normal and Vickie did not mislead me by recommending the sausage. You should not leave this place hungry because the portions are great! They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch dishes to explore. This was a great breakfast before heading home! Merry Christmas!

    service was great and very fast, vicki was personable and friendly. i kinda messed up the experience for myself because i didn't read the menu right and got pecans when i hate them:( other than that it was okay. the crepes were okay too. it's a good/alright place, nothing too crazy

    Great family owned breakfast and lunch spot. Our family has had quite a few of the menu items for both breakfast and lunch. If you're in the area I highly recommended stopping in.

    We really enjoyed our breakfast here. A family owned restaurant and it certainly showed. So warming and inviting, top notch service as our waitress remembered our son n laws past visit and what he ordered and it was the same thing he had the last time. Loves it. Was so sweet to our sweet granddaughter it was touching. Anyway the food is even better. I had the Healthy Omelet with fruit and wheat toast. Husband had a half BLT and Soup. Granddaughter loves her eggs sunny side up and French Toast. Son in Law had the skillet. All so very good and came out hot and fresh. Highly recommend. Support our Family Owned Restaurants

We walked back out and found the door to the restaurant. Staff is warm and friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was Robert and he was great! He gave his recommendations for which sides would go best with our meals and I felt they were spot on. They give complimentary bread and butter. It was warm and delicious. Hubby ordered the rib tips with fries, baked beans, and had the hot and mild barbecue sauce on the side. I ordered the 1/2 dark smoked chicken dinner with mac-n-cheese, spicy Cajun green beans, and spicy honey garlic barbecue sauce. I agree with Robert, that the sauce pairs very well with the chicken. The tips were tender and falling off the bone. He didn't care for the fries and loved the baked beans, even though they were a bit too spicy for him. My chicken was also very tender and I enjoyed the smokiness. The green beans had the right amount of spice although they were not as spicy as the baked beans. The mac-n-cheese was creamy. We were too full to order dessert. Maybe next time. This is a great neighborhood staple and will definitely be back.

Speaking of drinks, they're very reasonably priced--definitely worth opening a tab and relaxing for a while. For food, I tried Chuck's Wings with roasted vegetables and Cajun fries. Nothing is ever truly perfect, but these wings came close. The sauce was spot-on--easily some of the best I've had. The vegetables were cooked just right and packed with flavor, and the Cajun fries tied everything together perfectly. Overall, this spot delivers on both atmosphere and quality. Definitely worth checking out.

The flavors are layered without being heavy. Comforting without being greasy. Satisfying without the crash. You leave feeling full but light -- the kind of meal where your mouth, your stomach, and your health all say "thank you." If you go, honestly? Do yourself a favor: order a sandwich and a drink.

Food is always consistent, the quality is top notch, portions are big, food is beautifully presented and you can tell they care about it. Just look at all the photos on yelp, the meals are always presented the same. You can see what your gonna get and actually get it! You need to realize you're at a real special place, you are NOT going to get this food anywhere else. So treat yourself, splurge a little, you're not gonna regret it. Thank you Abuelita Coco for NOT making miss meat or dairy when I go there. So much love for this place, just wish it was closer to the city. Maybe someday, one can only wish.

Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor. My veggie omelette was overcooked, leaving it dry and unappetizing. The buffalo wings were enormous, almost like they had been injected with steroids, but they also lacked that necessary zing. Additionally, the service was disappointing. The waiter seemed bothered whenever we asked for basic items like jelly, napkins, or condiments for my omelette, which detracted from the overall experience. In summary, while the atmosphere was charming, the food and service did not meet expectations. I would rate this place a one out of five and will definitely not be returning.

I've tried quite a few things from here from the pancakes, French toast to the skillets and no complaints on my end. I also love that they have a sourdough bread option, which is the English muffin! I always love when there's sourdough in place of just regular bread. This last time around, I had the country skillet and I LOVE that their skillets automatically come with cheese. Some places, you have to add the cheese for an additional charge. Now, the bread/toast part, you do have to pay $1 additional for, and I don't really love that because most places, it just comes with it so that's a bit odd to me but the cost isn't bad at all and worth it. They also provide you two different flavors of jelly with your toast, which is nice! So you can do one on each side. I also appreciate that the eggs are always done perfectly - never too runny or too hard. For reference, I get mine in the fried version, but medium. The people who work here are also pretty friendly; never had an issue with that. Every server we have had has been pretty nice and they've always gotten our order correct. The only suggestion I have for Stacked, is to add sugar free syrup options for the lattes. Even if it's just a sugar free vanilla, I think that would go along way. Most breakfast restaurants have at least 1 or 2 but Stacked only has the syrups with the sugar so I'd say that's the biggest opportunity here. I'd definitely come here more often if they had that option available. Another note would be to add more milk options! I think both these things would amp up the coffee experience for us coffee lovers.
