Decent breakfast place, but the extremely long waits for food and the lack of menu originality will not give you any reason to come back. Try it once to see if you like it, but don't expect this to become a favorite. read more

Delicious!!! My boyfriend enjoyed the Western Skillet with orange juice and a side of fruit. I enjoyed the short stack of pancakes with coffee and a side of sausage links. The service was excellent and prices were reasonable. We will be back! read more

Late Saturday morning. Very busy. Fairly noisy. Host was rude-ish on phone and at seating. Our waiter was mildly impatient but very attentive and efficient. Food preparation took a while but was declared delicious by all -steak & eggs, eggs, omelette & chocolate waffles, bacon & hash browns and bumped up review from 3 to 4 stars. Overall, good little diner even if the staff could be a bit more friendly. read more

I cannot begin to tell you the hospitality this restaurant has, if you are looking for a real southern breakfast spot I recommend this one 100%, the service is unlike any other I've experienced PS. The price is too good it'll have you coming back every weekend ! read more

Stacks is always delicious and the service is fantastic! Kiley was our waitress this morning, and she just made the experience that much more enjoyable. She was so sweet and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend Stacks to anyone, and ask for Kiley for an exceptional experience! :) read more

We had gone to Stacks several times, but hadn't eaten there because there was a line, and we don't wait in restaurant lines. We finally ate there today, and it was a great experience. I had the breakfast special which included two eggs, hash browns, sausage, toast and coffee for $4.95. Unbelievable. My wife had waffles with bananas and walnuts. Her meal included bacon and coffee for $6.95. The food was delicious and our server (Nicole) was spot on - attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return (on a weekday). read more

Stacks Kitchen - Breakfast special with coffee for $4.95. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Stacks Kitchen in Matthews is a Diner off of Monroe Rd and HWY 51. The food is consistently delicious, so expect a wait if you go on the weekend. There is a classic Diner counter to eat at if you don't want to wait. I share the Lumberjack with my daughter, fills up both of us! The Challah french toast is mmm. The bacon is thick, crispy and juicy, always in heaven. The fresh squeezed OJ is pricier than the other juices, but, it's worth the splurge. After my meal I am ready for a nap! Happy and full it takes me a minute to remember the waitress says to pay our check at the register. Conveniently, we always pass the bakery on the way and can get pastries for later and pay for both at the door. It's a genius layout for them to have. read more

This is the sister of the Waxhaw store and it is just a delicious. We brought my sister, who has never been and she said it was excellent french toast also. I don't usually order French toast but the one here is just special. The waiter was nice enough to warm up my syrup too the way I like it so extra kudos to him. The glass of fresh squeezed juice is also special so a good breakfast was had by all. read more

Last time there, 4 months ago, the lines were very long and the food was terrific but service a bit slow. Went back today. No line. A/C not working. Food delivery took a long time. Eggs waaay overdone, biscuits stale, chicken Philly sandwich with cold chicken. Not going back. read more

I told the parents of one of my students that I love to eat and try new places so they recommended Stacks, so we gave it a try this past Saturday. I had the caramel mocha waffle, which was supposed to be a cappuccino waffle with chocolate chips on top with a caramel drizzle and whipped cream. I think they may have forgotten the caramel on mine because I had eaten about a quarter of the waffle and realized I hadn't tasted any. But overall, it was a good waffle, it didn't knock off my socks, but I ate it all along with the turkey sausage patties. My son had a burger with bacon and steak fries...I love steak fries and theirs didn't disappoint. He said the burger was good. My Love ordered and omelette and it was also very good. The wait staff was extremely pleasant, and someone came around with a tray of samples while we waited to be seated...and I wasn't mad! Whatever it was, it was moist and yummy. Their dessert display looked amazing as well. I'd definitely give this place another shot in the future, and so should you! read more

I had the Lumberjack breakfast. Large serving portions. The food was good. I didn't try the fresh squeezed OJ, but I hear it's really good. My friend had ordered a side of hash browns and he was not impressed. He said, "they were dry." The place is clean and nicely decorated. read more

Went for the first time for breakfast with my family. The place is very open and clean, and the food was good. Definitely recommend Yolanda as your server if you go, she has a great personality. read more

Amazing breakfast spot in Matthews. It is always crowded. The breakfast specials Monday-Friday are a great deal. I went with the short stack of French toast which was plenty of food. This is made with homemade challah bread. Added 2 scrambled eggs which were perfectly done. The bacon was seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection. Only downside to this place is their below average coffee. read more

We love this place for breakfast! The food is always fresh, hot and yummy! The staff are always welcoming!

I've eaten here a few times. I've tried to give it a chance. But it's just not good. The food has no flavor. Do not order the hash browns. They lack any flavor or salt. The portions are extremely large, but who wants a large portion of flavorless food. read more

Great place for breakfast! The crunchy monkey pancakes are delicious! Lots of food for a fair price! Friendly service!

I went to the Monroe Rd. restaurant Saturday afternoon to get breakfast and getting seated was a major challenge. There was total confusion at the entrance with persons waiting to checkout. To avoid confusion, I asked a lady who looked like an owner, the process for being seated. She said some tables were being cleaned and it would be a few minutes. So I waited patiently standing near the entrance for 15-20 minutes. Tables were cleaned and the lady totally forgot about me as she amongst other things talked to a customer (on their way out) about their receipt. In the meantime my back was aching and my legs were hurting. As I waited, a man who also looked liked he was facilitating walked pass me several times without asking if I needed to be served. Eventually, a couple (man and woman) walked in and the facilitator immediately said to them, "right this way" as he proceeded to take them to a table for service. That was my breaking point. I walked out and drove to a Bojangles located a short distance away for "fast" food service. My first visit to Stacks was uneventful and I ate in. My second and LAST visit was a major disappointment! read more

This place is sooo good the food is amazing and everyone here is so sweet and helpful. Our waiter was Spiros, he was so nice and made sure we had all we needed and either the manager or owner came around and helped us pick out a dessert. We got their homemade cheesecake which was so yummy! This is my third time here and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Great food, local feel and wonderful price point! Good for families, serve breakfast all day. Also have GF options

This place is very average I came here once for breakfast it wasn't worth any of the money honestly or the long wait to be seated the food was bland read more

When the worst thing about a restaurant is the constant long wait to get a table that's a good thing. Stacks is a pretty straightforward meat and potatoes diner. There's nothing fancy about it but it had good prices, solid consistent food, and friendly, efficient service. Come early to avoid a wait. read more

I went to Stacks visiting because local family said this was the best place to go. I went with 4 other people. We waited 20mins or so for a seat which was fine. After our order I went to step outside and while walking away from our booth I feel hard on the floor after slipping on some jelly or fruit left on the floor. I told the waitress and nothing was done. Then I told the 3 people at the register. I asked for ice for me knee. I got the ice but the mess was never cleaned. Told the waitress again (we were almost done eating now) and she finally got someone to wipe the floor with paper towels. I expected a better level of care. I could have been elderly and they would be looking at a much worse situation. To top it off I ordered steak (medium rare) and eggs and my stake was very very rare. read more

First time here and I just had a standard breakfast. I had eggs over easy, wheat toast, and oatmeal. It was good & came out to less than $5. Everyone was friendly. The restaurant was clean. I would like to try some lunch items next time, so stand by for more reviewing. read more

Place has great food with fast friendly service. By far the best corn beef hash I've ever had

We happened by Stacks as we were in the neighborhood on a Saturday morning. The line was literally out the door, but we were able to get a seat right at the counter. I had the Burrito Wrap which was delicious and my girlfiend had a BLT that she said was very good too. Great food, affordable prices, and service was OK, but they were busy. read more

Typical diner fare with huge portions. Lots of selections on the menu. Very busy on Sunday morning.

Disappointed. Never even got to try the food (or table service for that matter.) After waiting 30 minutes for a 20 minute wait, we discovered they had not written our name on the list when we checked in. Their solution was to offer our party of 3 "open seating" at the counter, where there was 1 open stool. Thanks. I won't go back. They seemed very busy, so I doubt they will miss my business. read more

Served my hash browns crispy as ordered but got dinged For playing 'how great thou art' on the sound system whilst I was eating.

This place is not all that it's cracked up to be. We saw the good ratings and decided to try it today. We first started by going to the rest room. Both the men's and the women's were nasty. We walked to the table and the floors were sticky and had napkins and food on them. Yuck! The table and the chairs were sticky as well. The waiter was great! Great attitude and very attentive. The guy who brought out our food was also great. The guy who sold us the pastries we purchased after the meal was great. The only reason we give this place a three star rating is because of the service because the food was not good. I had the BLT salad. Very little bacon. The salad dressing really didn't have any flavor. How does one mess up a salad? Hmmm? SMH! My son had the gyro. Why make a gyro if you're not going to "make a gyro"? It was bland and it was the kind of gyro with the precut meat slices so it wasn't really authentic. My mom had a cheeseburger. It was only ok. Both of them had fries which were nothing special. The lemon meringue pie was abysmal. I mean just not right. The consistency of the lemon part of the pie wasn't even right not to mention the flavor. Tossed that right in the trash! Needless to say we will not be returning. read more

Great place for Breakfast! We love it. The service is spot on, waitresses and Waiters are great and the owner comes around to make sure you're order is correct and good. Staff seems to stay there unlike other places where the staff changes as often as I wash my hands. If you haven been there try it. Great breakfast specials during the week!!! read more

Friendly atmosphere, great staff. Food service is a bit slow, but that's likely due to the huge menu and busy diner - not a terrible problem to have. I got the big daddy skillet, and it was delicious, but I couldn't eat all of it. For $10,it was a ton of food. And their orange juice is amazing. I love fresh squeezed orange juice as opposed to store bought, and you can taste the different here. Delicious!! read more

The wait staff is awesome, really friendly and helpful, the breakfast was cooked properly and the price are reasonable, the restaurant was very clean and so were the bathrooms, that's a thumbs up read more

You get what you pay for. I couldn't believe how cheap the prices were, but the food matched them - and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, per se. The fella and I got a super early start one Sunday, and Stacks was on our way out of town. They opened at 7:00, and we got there at 7:15 - good thing since the lines can be long based on the other reviews. There were 3 cop cars in the parking lot, and I figured the cops must know what's up, so we were excited. It's definitely a down home kitchen sort of feel, and our waitress was sweet and fantastic. Our food came out fast, too. We both got the traditional breakfast with basic meat ($5.95 each) but did it totally different - I got bacon, scrambled eggs, wheat toast, and hash browns, and he got sausage patties (they have links, too), over-medium eggs, a biscuit, and grits. He said everything was just as you'd expect, about average. My bacon was so tough that I didn't even eat all 3 strips, which is a rarity for me, and the hash browns didn't have much taste to them. The eggs and toast were good, but it's pretty hard to mess up eggs and toast. read more

I am giving a 3 star rating because they water down their syrup!!! Nothing like getting your french toast and then putting the syrup on all to find out that is comes pouring out like water and then has NO flavor at all. That just ruins the entire meal!!! The food is good, but pricey!! The service is a little slow depending on your server, sometimes not very attentive at all. read more

Well, we went back and I asked the waitress if I could order something special and she said I could. I wanted the corned beef hash and eggs but I wanted the corned beef hash smothered over the rye toast and the two eggs I wanted poached on top of that and all of it smothered I m hollandaise sauce. It came out with such a small amount of corned beef hash and hollandaise sauce that it looked very dry with all the bread hanging out around the sides. I asked why I got so little as my wife had much more as she ordered the same thing minus the hollandaise sauce so I asked for a little more. The waitress got the manager and he said that it was a eggs benedict and that they weigh out the amount of corned beef. When I said that I did not order an eggs benedict he wanted to argue with me. I said listen, I ordered the exact same thing as did my wife only I wanted it stacked on top of my toast with some hollandaise sauce. I would have more than been willing to pay the extra for the hollandaise sauce but instead he sent me a plate of corned beef on the side and to my amazement they charged me another $5.95. Now the food was good and I ate almost all that was laid out before me but still. I know what I ordered and to have a manager stand and argue over that with a resturant full of patrons to me is beyond reproach. To me it is a great example of when a bussiness is enjoying enough success that if and when anyone has an issue they are treated with reproach and somewhat hostility. It took close to 20 minutes just to get our check. And then it was all but throwed at us. My worst experience at any Charlotte area restaurant to date. Sorry for the book but felt compelled to write this as no customer should ever be treaded in such a manner nor charged extra for the restaurants mistake. read more
