Mr. Stacks - Early Bird Special! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

The best part about this place is the staff. They were all kind and attentive. Food was basic diner food -- no complaints. One of the seats was badly ripped, so that wasn't the best first impression. Iced tea was surprisingly terrible. I'd come again for the veggie skillet though. read more

Stopped here one day for breakfast. Was greeted warmly and seated promptly. The place is huge and very clean and bright. My server was so kind. They have an extensive menu so it took me a while to decide what I wanted but she was very patient. I ordered one of their breakfast specials that had pancakes, eggs, 1 sausage, 1 piece of ham and 1 piece of bacon along with hashbrowns. Awesome portions and the food was delicious. I also ordered one of their speciality coffee drinks to go. I requested it half sweet and it was made perfectly. This is a great place to check out for breakfast or lunch. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

I got the avocado bacon scramble based on another helper and I was not disappointed! Although service was slightly delayed, the hostess Millie made up for lost ground doing an excellent job! My kale refresher really hit the spot. I go here on a regular basis, and always enjoy my meal! read more

Mr. Stacks - Kale refresher - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

If you're looking for a "American-style" breakfast with huge portions and familiar flavors, this is your place. They have some nice classics with a slight twist. The menu is huge and has something for everyone, expect the downside to this is it's so hard to choose. *Tip- If you're a visual person like me, go to their website, they have a picture of every dish. I was between a skillet and an omelette with the same ingredients and then I just went for the skillet. My bacon avocado skillet was yummy at first and then I got overwhelmed with the massive bacon ratio. I was pleased to see they didn't skimp on the avocado though. I wish my side of potato's were a little more seasoned, crisper, and came out warmer. The side of the pancakes I thought was the star of the show. If I had ordered pancakes, bacon, and eggs that would've been perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and he said it was good. He upgraded his pancake side to the S'mores and loved them. For me, they were too sweet but I'm glad he liked them. As for the service, they were friendly, however our drinks came out staggered and it took a while for the food to come out. The overall ambiance was normal Brunch cafe, family-scene (sort of like cuter iHop). There were 2 birthdays celebrated where the staff came out and sang happy birthday and brought out a cupcake with a candle. I could see the little kids light up when this happened- it was cute to watch. read more

Had the meat lovers skillet. It was tasty. And the service was excellent.Milliana our server was extremely professional and attentive. I recommend this place read more

The food was good, the service was good, and the host at the door was welcoming. The space smelled really nice, and overall the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. There was a small issue with my cup not being perfectly clean, like a bit of leftover food from the previous guest. But it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 -- possibly a 3.5 if half stars were an option. read more

What a great breakfast and lunch spot! Located at the corner of two busy streets, Mr. Stacks is conveniently located with lots of parking around the restaurant. We came around 10:45am on a Sunday and the place was relatively busy but nothing too crazy. We were sat immediately. The service was great! Jenny was our server and she was the BEST - so attentive, genuine, and personable. She knew the menu off the back of her hands. We adored her. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck here. Average pricing was $15 per meal but it comes with a lot. I got the bacon avocado scrambler and subbed onions for mushrooms; you get a choice of a side and then get to pick pancakes or toast. Some of their side choices included diced potatoes, hash browns, fruit, grits, etc (I chose diced potatoes). My meal was absolutely delicious - the scrambler was flavorful, not dry at all, and fluffy. The diced potatoes and toast were super yummy, too. My sister got the very berry French toast which comes stuffed with cheesecake filling and berries. It was delicious. She got chocolate milk and I got this blended juice with oranges, strawberries, and banana. Everything was so tasty. I truly have nothing bad to say about Mr. Stacks. Great food and service - I'll totally be back to try their lunch items or just get breakfast again! read more

Prices are getting higher every time we come. This morning topped $85 for two kids and two adults. Services is still spotty - if you are there in peak times, things are not only slow, but come out randomly. My advice is go early or very late. The offerings are still delicious - they had Dubai pancakes on a recent stop and the juices are always great. read more

Excelente servicio nos brindó Milliana! La comida también fue excelente! Recomiendo este lugar.

Had breakfast today at Mr Stacks and the food was delicious!! However I have to commend our server Milli who went out of her way to make us comfortable and content. She was simply so sweet and one of the best servers that I have had in a very long time!! read more

I came here after being up earlier than I like for something that didn't happen (check my review of McGrath City Hyundai, then never go there). In stark contrast to my first stop, Mr Stacks was amazing. My server, Brittany (sp?), was AWESOME! As a frustrated and sleepy person her cheer and demeanor was so uplifting! She was quick to respond to my needs/silly requests, fun to talk with, and sent a general feel of happiness to the morning. I got the banana nut pancakes. They're huge! The were really good! Fluffy pancakes, fresh banana, crunchy nuts. If I could change one thing I would have had more whipped cream. I'm guessing if I'd asked I would have been able to get more whipped cream. And in this world where everything costs too much I was in and out for about $20 with tip. I ate about half of my order and will finish it either for supper or breakfast tomorrow. That's a good value for two meals and the pot of coffee that I drank. read more

Milliana was great! She was quick and efficient! Such a sweet young lady and great food and service!

Food was TERRIBLE and old , the service was not too good. And the Ambiance was worse , staff speaking loud , vulgar and cook singing very loudly . This place needs to be shut down read more

Service is ok. Food was off today. Hash browns were soggy instead of crispy. Toast was even odd. Pancakes were ok. Scrambler was decent. Coffee was off. I don't know. Maybe it was an off day but that's weird because they were even busy today like other days. Guess I'll try them once more to be sure it's just an off day. read more

I Thomas Demery really appreciate all of you and your team hardwork and dedication and making our food the way we like it and being respectful and we all appreciate you all!!!. This restaurant was my Grandma Joyce favorite restaurant. The years of coming here Brittany has been really understanding and supporting with all of us and especially me being an adult with special needs and not understanding certain things.Huge shoutout to Brittany but not only that but her team too for everything. read more

Mr. Stacks - Crispy Chicken Wrap, Classic Eggs Benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

Been meaning to try this place out, and it's soooo yummy! Your classic breakfast diner with a big menu with lots of delicious choices. Our server, Brittany, was amazing! She was incredibly nice and easy to talk to. I appreciate her hard work in a morning that seemed to be short staffed (there was a wait list even though lots of tables were open, meaning not enough staff/servers to accommodate guests). She made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Thank you! read more

2/17/24 : me and the wife came back. Disappointed again. I dont want any free food or coupons or anything. I'd just rather stay away. In fact I'm writing this review from my booth because I have left yet. This time my wife ordered country fried steak without gravy because she doesn't eat pork. It came with gravy. No big deal, we smiled and they said they'll fix it. No biggie. They brought the country fried steak back, flipped over and the gravy scrapped off. My wife didn't want to make any further problems so she just took the breading off and ate the steak. I won't be back here. The lack of respect and communication is too much. The operations team is wonderful but the cook and/or the waitress who tried to deceive us were not professional. If my wife had an allergy something in the gravy she would have gotten sick or went into anaphylactic shock. Please be respectful and just prepare another order. read more

Brittany was so personable and kind. She took great care of us! Food was super tasty.

Britney was a great server! She was very attentive and polite. Will be coming back, hopefully she'll be serving us again!

First time here and would definitely recommend if it wasn't too busy! It reminded me a lot with Denny's or IHOP but a lot more options. I ended up getting the Parisian Eggs Benedict while my partner got the corned hash and egg combo. Each meal could easily serve two people. Food was fresh and good. Service was kind of slow but it was pretty packed on a Saturday early afternoon. We waited about 15 minutes before being seated and maybe 10-15 minutes for our food to come in. Our server was very professional and checked up on us regularly despite being busy. Def recommend to go on a weekday when it's not as packed. However, if you're in a rush, you can easily make breakfast at home too. read more

Mr. Stacks - Parisian Benedict and Corned Beef Hash and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Melrose Park, Illinois

Had a hankering for some breakfast , wasn't sure about this place but saw all the positive reviews on yelp so decided to give it a try. The ambiance was nice and clean i know this restaurant is new so hopefully it stays that way. Plenty of seating! The waitress was nice a little rough around the edges lol like a nice rude type of way but she was a little busy. I think there were only 2 waitresses for the restaurant. The menu is packed with a lot of options. I ordered the Chicken and avocado omelette with an english muffin and fruit. Delicious! Filling and the chicken was seasoned lol ... Will definitely check it out again! read more

Everything I ordered was a disappointment. I was craving breakfast, decided to try Mr Stacks, which I could have easily went to I-Hop.

This place has a lot of space and lots of options, it was my first time but the food quality of what I ordered was so good and I look forward to trying more. Coffee gets brought to you with a carafe so no pressure on finishing your coffee too quick What stands out the most is the atmosphere of this place!! It is so well lit and I think that it's so important that management is aware of how sweet and interactive this staff is! From the server who seated us, to servers walking past, and our very own server Romelia, everybody just has the best attitude and visibly works well together. Old school diner style, no standing around or on phones. You know what they say, a first impression is a lasting one. And my first impression of this place will cause me to return and recommend over and over again! read more

for four slight dollars I was able to purchase the best latte of my life. it was CREAMY, ice cold, and tasted almost mochaey when I didn't even add any flavors at all. I gasped at first sip and then continued to down my drink instantaneously. I have never ordered a second coffee before but this time I HAD to, Brittany was a doll and so so kind. wonderful experience read more

Great breakfast. Great Service. What more could you want? I had the eggs benedict and wife had scrambled eggs and bacon. read more

I came with my family today to finally try out Stacks in Melrose Park. The place looks very similar to Denny's with just a new paint job, same booths. The staff was very nice and attentive, quick and friendly service. The best thing out of everything I tried were the apple cinnamon pancakes. The homemade cinnamon butter was excellent. The addition of the oats were delicious and the apples were soft and sweet. The pancake itself had a chewy and soft consistency. It was creative, delicious and also came with eggs and bacon. Credits to them for that dish. The Nutella French Toast was a bit on the dry side. The whip cream tasted cheap and store bought. It was average but not below average. The bacon was not crispy at ALL. The hash browns tasted below average, as if they were frozen. They arrived a bit cold to our table. I saw some seasoning on the hash browns, maybe paprika or old bays but it can't beat homemade hash browns. How hard could it be to make fresh hash browns? The burger and fries initially looked good but the fries were not crispy at all, very flimsy and soft. The burger had more lettuce than meat and came out cold. One thing I can say is the bun was nice. The Greek salad looked kind of depressing. It didn't come with any Feta cheese but the waiter quickly brought us some after we let him know. I've never seen a Greek salad look like the one I got. Everything we got came out to $95 for 4 people. If I'm paying more than $20 a person , I don't just want an average breakfast. As a Maywood resident from the area , I love supporting local business but I'm not sure I'll come back to this spot . I rather make the drive to a better breakfast spot and spend the same amount of money. read more

My family and I come to stacks at least twice a year and it always tend to be 20 of us. Brittany the server has always taken care of us. We always look forwards to see her face when we go, She is a hard worker and makes sure everyone is well fed. She always takes a big group photo of us before we leave. Thank you Brittany for your hard work and we will see you next time. P.s. The food is always delicious and full filling. read more

Great service ! Went early morning on Father's Day , party of 12 people. BRITNEY was our waitress!' She did an excellent job!! Fast pace and very polite. Loved her energy and how kind she was to each and every one of her customer ! read more

I found myself in melrose park and was tired of the same ol places on 5th and north ave area. Mr stacks doesn't have a inviting atmosphere, bare bones diner experience, but what they do have is an awesome lunch menu. I had a sandwich and salad and it was bigger and tastier than your Panera menu options. Great deal $ wise and generous portion. Absolutely a great option if you don't feel like fried chicken, pizza, or burgers. My friend ordered a breakfast platter and it looked pretty good. read more

Had breakfast here. Very good on all accounts! Brittney was our server she was great. I saw her asking each of her customers if they needed anything and gave each of us her attention and service. The food was very good and plentiful. The reason for 4 stars is that we had to wait to sit. There were plenty of open tables. But because of pickup orders, the eat in customers have to wait, so the kitchen can catch up. I highly recommend this place and ask for Brittney to serve you. read more
