Stacks - Florentine Benedict's w/hash browns and fruit with a banana pancake. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burlingame, California

We came expecting a long line out the door at 12:30pm. To our surprise, it took only 10 minutes before we were seated in a crowded and cramped section of the restaurant. We get it, gotta maximize your space and earning capacity. Standard service, the guy came by, took our orders, and he disappeared into the night, well, went to another table to assist other patrons. Standard breakfast establishment food. Blueberry pancake (which came with a dollop of butter and a small container full of blueberry "gel") was dense and alright in taste. The Italian frittata was pretty disappointing. The sausage bites had little flavor not to mention the lack of fluff. Potatoes that came with the plate were decent tho. There are plenty of places along the Peninsula that serve better breakfast. read more

This is a popular spot (even during COVID). So plan to get here with time to spare or call ahead to reserve if you can. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Masks and social distancing required. Very friendly service, attentive and knowledgeable. We didn't want to try the pancakes (on purpose...not to buy into the hype) but the server let us know that its called Stacks for a good reason and that any pancake stack was a "must try"! So we crumbled under the pressure and got the coconut macadamia nut pancake stack with our breakfast/brunch - plus the usual eggs and bacon etc. I usually stop eating when I am full, like most normal people. But this time I did push myself beyond what I knew I could handle. Lets just say I wanted to take the leftover pancake to-go AND I wanted to finish it all at the same time...and by some miracle, and my husbands help, we finished it all and then left very satisfied, happy and stuffed! All that is left to say is this...get the pancakes. *accessible entrance* read more

I found the source of the urine and sour towel smell, it's inside the men's room! The entire restaurant needs to be cleaned as soon as possible! I ordered a corn beef, Reuben, the corn beef was off color, brown and sour. They were very polite about it and they gave me a turkey club which was very fresh. I would never come back and eat here again until this restaurant cleans the entire establishment! It is unsanitary for human consumption :( read more

Stacks is above par for sure, and if your looking for brunch in Burlingame this is where I would go. The restaurant almost reminds me of a factory, with so many dishes coming in and out and people being seated. The service is good though, and I have no complaints on that front. I would rate the food 7.5/10. I have had almost everything on their menu from the waffles to the frittatas (my two faves). Their menu is huge and you can't go wrong with anything on it. Overall solid restaurant, follow me @fatlikeadonut for more food reviews. read more

I always like Stacks. Been coming here for hearty and full good breakfast. Which has been good in the past years. I never tried their Blackstone with Eggs Benedict, so today I did. And boy was I disappointed, The Eggs Benedict wasn't cooked the right way. If I wanted over hard egg I would've ordered it. I expected Benedict and unfortunately whoever made this killed it; the bad way. Not sure if I'll come back again after this. read more

Stacks - Blackstone Eggs Benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burlingame, California

I get it. Burlingame is expensive, but it's not Hawai'i. I've been to Stacks occasionally over the years. We owned a home in Burlingame for 16 years. My sons went through public schoold entirely in Burlingame. We belong to a Burlingame synagogue. But this is ABSURD. Took my son to Stacks for a birthday breakfast. Usually go to Millbrae Pancake House, but decided to go to Stacks yesterday. HUGE MISTAKE. Decent crowd, but no wait for a table and we were seated immediately at 10:40 AM. Son ordered hot chocolate which was brought immediately. Ordered a few minutes later. I understand they are likely understaffed in the kitchen, but it shouldn't take more than 23 minutes to get pancakes, potatoes and sausage. Oh, they were out of Aidell's Chicken Apple sausages. How? They're widely available. Costco has them right now, but that's a very minor complaint. You should tell us if you are understaffed and items will take longer than usual, but again, relatively minor. Got banana, macadamia, coconut pancakes, potatoes and sausage. Pancakes are excellent, but the potatoes SUCK. They're awful. I ADORE breakfast potatoes. Not these. They're floppy and not crispy at all and a TINY amount and for that you pay $7.59. Ridiculous. The sausages, were nearly $8 for 3 small sausages. Absurd. Both my son and I got the exact same thing, except for his hot chocolate, for which he was NEVER offered a refill and we were there well over an hour. The total price with tax and tip. Sit down. Seriously, sit down because you might fall over. $88.00. EIGHTY EIGHT dollars for two people for pancakes, crappy potatoes, mediocre sausage and ONE cup of hot chocolate plus tax and tip. I WILL NEVER RETURN. read more

I love their pancakes! The portions are great! It's a nice feel, not modern, totally floraled out.

The food was great and delicious; very filling. The service was a little slow since there are so many customers. The ambience it great it feels like I am outside in old France with great decorations and and beautiful paintings! read more

It was my first time coming to Stacks and it was easy to get a table at 9:30 for seven. We were seated inside on bar like stools that sank you in, making you feel like a child - it was an experience. Everything you could need was on the table or with the flick of a hand, could make them come to you. There was jam out, sugar, water, coffee on the ready, a buffet of condiments was at your command. A single glance at their menu can make your stomach growl in hunger. Craving some America styled breakfast? Their menu has it, guaranteed. I went on the safe side, since this was my first time here and got the Applewood Bacon/Avocado omelette. It was delicious! It had the perfect amounts of avocado and bacon on oh my goodness it mentioned that it had . cheese but I thought it'd be inside - NO. It was beautifully slathered on top, melted right into the egg. Amazing. I proceeded to slather the salsa and sour cream on top, smearing it across the egg. The perfect combination. And! It came with the most delicious looking bagel. It looked so good I wanted to stuff my face in its buttered goodness. Oh how I think about that bagel when my mind wanders. But I was simply too full from the side of potatoes and omelette. I couldn't bare to look at it as they took my plate away. It was like my secret lover that had to go. It would've been a toxic relationship. The service was spectacular, when we and questions the waiter was ready to answer and ready to serve, I felt like I owned the place or something. For it being so early in the morning, he was awake and aware as if he had chugged an entire gallon of caffeine. read more

If you're a party of 6 or more, make sure to call ahead and make a reservation to avoid a wait. I called a day ahead for our party of 6 and made a reservation for 10 am. They told me that they will only seat us when our party is complete and that they will only hold the table for us for up to minutes. Everyone in my party arrived before 10, so we were seated promptly. I ordered the Bacon and Avocado Omelette and a side of Sausage. I subbed a green salad for the Potatoes and Bagel. If you're on a low carb diet, they have a lot of options. My omelette was great--tasty and very satisfying. The sausage was moist and not overcooked. I did not miss the carbs. The potatoes don't look that great and cousins who are from the NJ and NY area said the bagel is definitely not as good as in NY. My sister ordered a pancake and though it looked good, it did not tempt me at all. I don't know if they charged me for the side salad substitution coz my cousin paid. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. When we left, a lot of people were waiting outside for a table. They have coffee urns and water outside if you want to have coffee while you wait. It was a little cold outside, so people weren't opting to eat outdoors. I'm sure it'll be nice to eat outdoors when it's nice out. All in all a good place to go to if you're on a low carb di read more

First time trying this place with friends for a brunch. The food quality is fine and this place is crowded. We got here around 11am and wasn't able to sit in until 11:30am. Another family of 5, white Caucasian, who came after us got the table right away. I am not sure if they made reservation, but apparently their name appeared on the list after our name (with proof). I just felt unpleasant about that, but our group of 5 still waited patiently. The server could do a better job, but she might be too busy. Other servers are not likely helping each others. There may be a specific server was assigned to specific session. We waved our hand a few times before we got served. Overall, the restaurant is fine, but hopefully they could improve the waiting list process. read more

Least flavorful overpriced. Not sure how this company stays in business. It's been 10 years since our last visit. Let's be optimistic. Nope. Weak coffee, Sysco food right out the freezer. Rubbery bagel? Hash browns not even salted. Service was good. Staff friendly - food poor read more

Wonderful breakfast place with good service and huge selection. Food is good and consistent and always what we order. They're cool with special requests which I love. Coffee is ok but plentiful and never need to ask. Of note this is for outdoor seating. Inside is dark, dirty and depressing. But outside is lovely and comfortable and well maintained. read more

The food is not that great to endure the substandard hospitality service. I asked for a table for two and was told I had to wait until the second person arrived. Then after we were near finishing our breakfast, savoring great conversation and hot coffee we were told that we needed to leave because others were waiting and our table was needed I understand that this restaurant has a lot of traffic but find another friendly and hospitable way to move paying customers. Plus, there were empty tables. I'm in no rush to return. I'll give my business to other places read more

Order for pick up.. Called to order but put me on hold for 20 mins . i hanged up and called again thats the time she took my order.. She forgot she put me on hold. We ordered 2 stacks of coconut macademia pancakes, bagel, club turkey salad sandwich, salad, hash brown, fried chicken, fruit sundae granola... We know the owner of Stacks so we know when you say Stacks, your order will really be stack up, stuffed and full... The pancakes are size of a plate, the club sandwich can be for 2 people, the chicken was so yummy crispy and delicious, and everything was worth ordering except for the small salad with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and guacamole (tasted bad we threw it, was watery and smelled bad)... But over all, awesome food For almost $60 order it was worth it read more

Service was ok the guy that seats people was very friendly. He is like Freddy Mercury's twin. The eggs Benedict was the worst I've had so sweet, no hint of lemon in it. The homemade chorizo was crumbled, and I don't know what was in it. The only reason I gave it two stars was the nice guy and the macadamia coconut were very good. Do not recommend unless your in a mood for pancakes. read more

I went there at a first time for lunch. The server was nice but forgot my water toward the end of my meal. The decor and setting are old and outdated. I felt like it is a diner. I ordered a salad and French toasts. The French Toasts didn't look very appetizing and sad . The salad was over priced. In addition, the restaurant asks for 20% in tips which was not qualified. The bathroom was small and in need of upgrade. Overall, it was not experience I would likely repeated! read more

Quintessential definition of a 3 star place. Food was very mid, I got an eggs benedict and it just might be the first one I've not liked. It was pricey for what it was, too (almost $20 before tax and tip). Good thing was that there was no wait, we were seated right away and food came out fast. An ok spot if you're rushing to the airport like we were but other than that not worth the try. Other brunch places may have long wait times but there's a reason why. read more

The service was very good as waiters were friendly and accommodating on a busy Saturday morning. This is a very popular place to have brunch as it was packed already around 11am. The food portions were huge and delicious. We got our coffee refilled constantly. It can get a little noisy since there were so many people inside, however, that just shows how popular this place is. read more

I usually come for breakfast but I decided to do lunch and it was delicious! The lunch menu is not as expansive as the breakfast menu, but you get great options nonetheless. I had the eggplant panini and it came with a side of spring mix salad with vinaigrette dressing my husband opted to get the BLT and added scrambled egg! I love how accommodation they are and if you can I recommend dining outside to enjoy the wonderful weather of Burlingame! read more

absolutely delicious brunch spot!!! upon stepping into the store, the first thing i noticed was the beautiful store decor. there were lots of christmas themed things around and the inside looked very cozy. next, service was very friendly and accommodating! we got seated immediately and our orders were taken in a timely manner. and, our food arrived pretty quickly. i had the jitter bug (smoothie with espresso), huevos rancheros, and chocolate chip waffle. the portion sizes were generous and all dishes were DELICIOUS. the pricing is definitely a bit on the higher side but it's absolutely worth it. i would definitely come back here again! read more

Love this place! We live in Northern NV but get over to the coast somewhat often. If I'm near Burlingame, I'm going to this restaurant for crab frittata!! The original owner (can't believe I already forgot his name) was running the place for Sunday brunch because he was a little short-staffed that day - and he gave up his football tix to take care of his place instead. We also had tickets to the game, it was fun to connect with him over a love of the Vikings! I've never had a bad experience here, and now have even more reasons to return. read more

Staff is so helpful and attentive to what your flavor is for breakfast. Stopped here while in town and the food is very good. We had breakfast cocktails, eggs Benedict, crab crepe, and French toast. All this was enjoyed during our visit and will be back when in SF. read more

This is one of the top places that people think of when you say brunch, but save yourself the wait and money and skip over this spot. At first glance, the cute decor makes it seem like the food will be good and with so many choices on the menu, everything looks promising. But there are many other tastier brunch options out there. I ordered the Crab Louis because I was craving a benedict dish. They give you a lot of crab, but everything from the hollandaise to the meat was bland which was very surprising because this was under their "House Specials." The potatoes were pretty sorry too, I expected more color and crisp to them, and the fruit weren't even sweet. If that was how one of their House Special dishes taste, I wouldn't be surprised if everything else on the menu was lacking in taste. read more

I really like this place I get the pork sausage breakfast with the plane waffle. The breakfast it's good just like any other breakfast it comes with a they go, but you can switch it for some other type of bread, but the waffle is really good. It is light not dense and thick like other places. I can eat one too my self. Most place I can not even finish one. I usually would get the breakfast sausage combo first and ask for the waffle later that way the waffle comes out fresh. They serve they are waffles with hot syrup. You can also ask for maple. The people here are really nice. The place here is a little on the old out dated side but you can sit out side. It's kinda smell like an old person's house. read more

The food was amazing. We had waffles which were super yummy. We also ordered the pork chops and egg. The workers here are super amazing. Very hard working. Our server was cintia and she was nice.

Ate brunch here, closes at 1:30pm. Street meter parking can be difficult. We came as a family group so tasted a little of everthing. Basic hamburger with French Fries and salad was average. It was a pre-formed beef patty. French Toast was very good with fruit and whipped cream. Crab crepe had good crab flavor with fresh fruit was very good. Avocado omelet tasted good, average. Pecan waffle with whipped cream n banana slices was good, average, maybe needs more pecans to be distinctive. Coffee average. Orange juice not fresh squeezed. Breakfast sandwich with ham and cheese was very good. Service was good. Overall 3.5 stars, round up to 4 stars. read more

Came here on a weekday at 11AM, and this place was popping! (but no wait!) They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Since a lot of the smaller tables were already taken, my boyfriend and I were seated at a table for 6. No complaints there. He got the Hot Link Omelette while I got the South of the Border (I subbed the chorizo for extra veg). I've got to say that for the price you pay, you're getting a good amount of food. My South of the Border was delicious - stuffed with eggs, vegetables, wrapped in tortilla and topped with a plentiful amount of salsa, sour cream, a little bit of guac, some cheese - it was good! Would get it again. The shredded potatoes were also yummy, but I've definitely had better - would've preferred it more crisp. read more
