Stacks is a down-to-earth local restaurant "chain" (two locations) in the Indy area. It specializes in breakfast and does the basics very well. This location is just off Quaker Blvd. near the I-70 interchange and is quite convenient to the gaggle of airport hotels clustered around it. The building and the interior are reminiscent of Midwestern family-style restaurants. The facility is comfortable with ample seating, however, having both booths and tables. The breakfast menu features traditional Midwestern breakfast fare with pancakes, of course, as a cornerstone offering. We visited on a Friday morning and were seated right away. Our server, Amy, took care of us quickly and did a good job throughout our visit. My colleague went with the theme and got the big stack of six pancakes, too much for one sitting. He also got a side of fresh fruit, which was a nice offering. I went a little heavier and got the corned beef hash, a favorite of mine. Here, it comes with hash browns, which is a little unusual. I certainly appreciated this nuance. I also had some hash and potatoes left over to take away. We both thought our choices to be quite good. The coffee was not bad and more than adequate with food (not sure how it would be on its own, which is the ultimate test for coffee). Between the two of us with food, drink, tax and tip, we spent $42. By today's standards, that's not unreasonable. It was not a bad value considering we each had enough to take away for another meal. I would not hesitate to go back if another opportunity arose. read more

We had breakfast at Stacks Pancakes. With a name like that, I expected the pancakes to be the star of the show. Unfortunately, the pancakes were a 2 out of 10 for me. The service was mediocre, and the ambiance was slightly unpleasant. Of course, this was just my experience. If you decide to visit, give it a try and form your own opinion. I'm only visiting the area, but if I return, I'll definitely be trying somewhere different. read more

My time at this restaurant, was on my way back to Nashville, being close to the hotel and the interstate made it so convenient. Lori was our waitress and she went over and beyond, please ask for her. Our leftovers were bagged and take care of by Lori, she did a great job. The food is not only good quality but they feed you like Momma until you're satisfied, please give these folks a visit, you will never be disappointed. read more

If you're staying at one of the many nearby hotels, I would definitely recommend you skip the low quality, limited hotel breakfast and go to Stacks. They've got a ton of seating, and I got a booth right away. Everyone was very friendly and the service was fast. The restaurant is clean and the food was great, especially for the price. I had a huge omelette, well done hashbrowns (per my request), two giant pancakes, and coffee all for $12. I also thought the coffee was very good here. Much better than the hotel coffee you make in the room or get in the lobby. read more

Upon entering and waiting to be seated, there are two white boards of specials to read. They were not crowded for lunch at noon on a Friday. The dining room was large and spacious. This a nice place to eat and the name doesn't do them justice in my opinion. Don't forget to like them on Facebook for 10% off. Free WiFi is available. I ordered the Stacks Club and with that comes a choice of soup or salad. I selected the soup which was Vegetable Beef today. The soup was outstanding! And it was a bowl of it, not a cup, so it really was enough of a lunch for me. But I also managed to eat a quarter of the sandwich which was a fairly large sandwich. The sandwich was quite tasty as well. Fries are included with sandwiches too. There were several other menu items I could try the next time. But I may not get past the soup section of the menu. I have grown to be a soup lover since the bread carbs are not there. This place had great soup today. read more

I had the broccoli soup and a Buffalo chicken wrap with fries. All amazing wonderful taste experience.

Plainfield is equipped with a convenient and capable pancake house. It's Stacks, folks. And they got your eats. Served by the effervescent Hayley, thanks to the convenient specials board, I knew what the morning needed: French toast, and the harmony of accompaniments: eggs, bacon, hash browns. Big star for the portions. Two huge plates of food for $15. That's value, friends. Texas toast frenched. Big star for the preparation. Hash browns terrific, bacon crispy, and eggs proper. Everything served quickly. Fifth star? The only thing about Stacks is the dining area feels quite commercial and sterile. It's not the most warm and inviting place and that's really something important to awaken the senses for breakfast. My last pancake house experience was the Pocahontas in Virginia Beach, which is loaded to the gills with camp and whimsy. What a place. Now, that probably wouldn't swing in suburban Indianapolis. But, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the brightness of some cut flowers, some character given by some wall art or a centerpiece might bring the best out of the space. Or, just smell the syrup and stare deeply into the French toast. Yes. read more

I liked this place. The staff was friendly. The food was unexpectedly delicious. And they give you a lot of food. I ordered one of the skillets that came with pancakes. Both were very good. Most breakfast places are typically the same. But this one was a little different for the best. As I said, the taste was outstanding! I highly recommend going. read more

Food was delicious and it was reasonably priced. There are so many yummy options on the menu that everyone in your group should find something they like. The service was friendly, but once we got our food we never saw a server. We had to hunt down a waitress to get our check. We were there between the breakfast and lunch rush, so maybe that's why, but it was still frustrating. read more

Excellent staff, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the food is a steal for there pricing for how good it is.

Staff is great! Accommodating and knowledgeable. Your typical American breakfast and several different types of pancake options. I've had quick and leisurely breakfasts and was able to do both with ease. Prices are fair and portions are large. Lots of seating and good for both large and small groups. Family friendly but not pet friendly. read more

We are from California! Came out here on a red eye so while we were waiting for our hotel to get our room ready, we came to this gem. Food was fantastic. Service was amazing and it was a lot of people there pretty early in the morning. The pancakes are good!!! read more

Saw the great reviews and had to stop by since we were staying across the street at a nearby hotel. it was Sunday morning, specifically the morning of the Indy 500, but there was no wait. The waiter insisted that we saw the specials listed on the board at the front since they weren't on the menu. Sidenote, you can't substitute items on the menu. We both ordered, and the food came out fairly quickly. The food was fresh, hot, and tasted great! Would definitely return. read more

Had some time to kill before picking up a family member from the airport and decided to grab some breakfast here. We were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday morning and our waitress was the best. She even helped me out when I was ordering extras and let me know that it would be cheaper if I ordered the food as a combo. Service was great, food came up quickly, and it was very good! read more

My husband and I stopped here again and the food is still good. The restaurant is very clean along with bathrooms. Our waitress was very polite and courteous and gave us some suggestions. I went with the chicken quesadilla and my husband had build your own chicken sandwich. The quesadilla flavor was excellent one of the best I have ever had. I love their potatoe soup. You should stop in and try it. Next time we do we are gonna see if we can split a meal as it is a lot of food but great food. We plan on trying breakfast next time read more

I flew in Indianapolis and met my daughter and my sisters for breakfast. I ordered the Stack House Omelet with crispy hash browns and blueberry pancakes. The omelet was a very big portion and filled with meat and cheese and was delicious. I asked for crispy hash browns and they delivered. I asked for blueberry pancakes instead of plain buttermilk ones. They were delicious but I failed to read the menu fully and failed to notice they not only had blueberries in the batter as well as smothered in blueberry compote. I would have rather not had the compote but it was my mistake but they were tasty just the same! The coffee was ok, I prefer a stronger brew. My sister got the stuffed waffle with strawberry topping and she loved it! The stuffing was a cream cheese blend. My daughter got french toast with eggs and bacon and she ate every bite. read more

Ate here the first time around February 2024, but noticed I never got around to sharing my experience. The service was impeccable I totally forget her name now, but she was tall and skinny and curly hair I believe with brown eyes and she gave us the time we needed and even made sure we got something we liked!!! Very helpful! The food came out literally in like 10 minutes and it was all HOT n FRESH! I was so impressed! I myself had gotten the CFS and sausage and hashbrowns and pancakes that tasted like cake which are my favorite, I believe and my boyfriend had this French toast with Reese's pieces on top with whip cream and chocolate syrup! Both were delicious and I honestly cannot wait to go back and eat again because that's how good it was. The restaurant was clean...the bathroom did smell kinda like sewer but I'm pregnant so it could just be me smelling something else, but I literally have no complaints! read more

Stopped in today because Waffle House was carry out only (only place still doing that). I'm so glad I did. I was craving a good waffle and I found it! I ordered the sausgae links and bacon and the Belgium Waffle stuffed and covered in mixed berries. Holy cannoli! This was a whopper of a waffle. Pretty sure I'm going to need some insulin at some point today. It was fluffy, it had this sweet cream smothered over it and these delicious berries and sauce atop it with a dollop of whipped cream. Something out of a magazine I tell you. Would you just look at it?! It's a beaut Clark! The bacon and sausage was typical but nothing bad I can say. Wait staff was nice and accommodating and the atmosphere was laid back and service was quick. Will be back here. Ten of ten I tell you! read more

Very nice place, very clean inside too. I ordered the angry breakfast burrito which has angry potatoes, scrambled eggs, chorizo, pepper jack cheese, onions and peppers. The potatoes, eggs, and chorizo are perfectly blended together so you get a bit of everything in each bite. I asked for salsa on the side because I intended on eating this with my hands but it's enormous! Had to use fork and knife. This burrito is full of flavor & spice. Not too hot/spicy, just right. Oh, did I mention the burrito came out in under 10 minutes? Super fast service and for only $10 I got a huge breakfast full of flavor. I wish I lived in this area so I could come back again! read more

Might be my new breakfast go-to!! We stopped in on a Thursday morning, kind of in a hurry so I was nervous they might take forever. Instead we ordered our food when we ordered drinks and everything came out super fast. Food was delicious and I love their huge plates. Hubby got chocolate chip pancakes and they came with a cute chocolatey design on top!! My hash browns were nice and crispy how I like them! Best of all our total was only $14. I wish I would've gotten my servers name for the review, but to be totally honest all of the employees were kind and very helpful. Will definitely return :) read more

That in the parking lot this morning till 615 with three other cars waiting for this place to open but it never did

I'm confused by all the good reviews here. I'm not sure where to even start. I came in with a big group. I was visiting from Seattle so I recognize my expectations may have been high but still. My aunt said the coffee tasted like soap. So she added excess sugar and cream and eventually switched to tea. The food took a long time to come out. My mom ordered an egg white omelette and fruit. The banana was completely brown, and the omelette was swimming in oil or fruit juice couldn't tell. But the eggs were ice cold. When she told the waitress (who took forever to come back and check on us to even tell her it was cold) she snatched it up and said ok ill be right back. They MICROWAVED the food and brought it back. It was inedible. I was disgusted. All the plates were overcooked, over salted, over rated. Definitely do not recommend. read more

New name, but the same great breakfast place as before! Recently, the former Stacks Pancake House & Grill was purchased by the same owners as the next door Super 8 Hotel. From what I can tell, no changes were made to the staff or the interior of the place. Some of the menus still refer to the prior name, but new signs will be coming soon to announce the change of ownership to Star Pancake House & Grill. I recently went with my wife and another couple to brunch here. There was plenty of parking surrounding the restaurant and still room inside! There was a short wait as the hostess who seats new arrivals also takes the payments at the end of the meals. Before long, we were given our choice of booth or table. The restaurant has a wide assortment of offerings as both meals and ala carte items. My wife went with the Star Omelette which comes with hash browns. I chose the Eggs Benedict and also had the hash browns. The plates they serve on are huge, so there is plenty of room to mix and mash and sample someone else's food if they let you! We both enjoyed our meals and my wife needed a to go box for hers. Our friends even made special orders and the kitchen/waitress managed to do a great job on delivering what was requested. Nice to know that the food is made to order, not something that was sitting under a heat lamp. The coffee was fresh and kept coming throughout the meal too. If they could figure out a way to smooth out the slight delay at the front between checkouts and arrivals, then this place would be even better. Rev. #41 read more

First time here and it was amazing!! Kristy was a super nice server and did a fantastic job. We had a byo skillet, and the biscuits and gravy meal. Both meal portions were huge, and everything was delicious. We will definitely be returning here and probably make it our regular breakfast spot. Arguably I think its the best spot in Plainfield. My only suggestion is to add mimosas on the menu Thank you! read more
