    Kids tenders
    Maheen K.

    I have been here a couple of times now and have left feeling disappointed each time. This last time around, I went in on a random Monday around 10am. They were definitely constantly busy. The servers can use some serious training on customer service. I mean I ever smiled at one while waiting for my daughter to use the restroom, but instead got an uncomfortable glare. The hot chocolate that we ordered came to the table cold. My mom took one sip and told them. They had two servers come hold the cup and give us dirty looks and be like what do you want us to do. Finally taking it back and bringing another one. The attitude of multiple servers sucked! Not to mention their food was bland. My dish needed everything more. I was hungry so ate what I could, but honestly it was sub par. My daughter's chicken was half on the burnt side. We ended up taking the breading off to give her the bland chicken inside. This place is always packed and I have yet to discover why. Food is mediocre at best and service is subpar.

    Eggs & Portuguese Sausage with pancakes

    Great food. Huge servings. The menu is Hawaiian/Filipino-inspired breakfast flavors like ube, guava, spam and Portuguese sausage. They have a small indoor seating area but lots of tables outside. I am very impressed with how clean the outside is. There were always 2-3 people bussing and wiping tables. Amazing! These ladies need a raise! Ordering is easy. They have a giant menu on the wall so if you're not up at the counter yet, you can decide while browsing the breakfast and lunch choices. By the time I finished ordering, a long line had formed around 10AM. Food came out fairly quickly. We ordered: * 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon with pancakes * 2 eggs, Portuguese sausage with pancakes * Loco Moco with spam Everything was delicious and filling! This is the type of place you want to keep returning to so you can try all the different Belgian waffles, pancakes, crepes, fried rice, etc. I really wanted a Belgian waffle but I was so full from my Loco Moco! Next time. :)

    Kalbi a d eggs and ube pancakes.
    Harry B.

    Was great! It reminded me of Hawaii. I really enjoy good Ube and they did Ube right. I tried their cow and eggs and the cow beef was spot on. And I had a side of the Ube pancakes and they were decadent. I would recommend for anybody to try them. The service was welcoming. It was friendly and definitely inspired me to want to go back. Thanks for the great breakfast. Look forward to the next visit.

    Loco Moco
    Linh N.

    It was pretty crowded on a Saturday morning but line moves fairly fast! Service was great ans they have many tables inside and outside. 1. Loco moco (3/5): the gravy was on the sweeter side to my liking and the meat was a big dry. Not sure if I'll get this again 2. Egg benefit pork (4/5): this one was good but on this day the eggs were not running. They overcooked it a little so I was abit sad about that. The pork was also a bit drier for some reason. Potatoes were good tho!

    Sunday brunch and we came at the perfect time no line and we got seated right away. I suggested this spot to my boyfriend while we were doing some Trader Joe's shopping nearby, and it didn't disappoint. He loved the food and said he'd definitely come back to try more items. This place is an OG spot for me growing up in OC, especially around Irvine. We ordered the chicken fried steak and loco moco with drinks iced Milo Dino and an iced latte. Everything was about an 8.5/10. Servers were very nice ! We sat outside and it was a good timing to be seated outside was a perfect weather

    Guava Toffee French Toast
    Caitlin V.

    Sadly, I was really disappointed with my food this time around. My Guava Toffee French Toast was just okay. I didn't care for the sauce. What was really disappointing was the Spam Musubi. There was way too rice compared to the small slice of spam and piece of seaweed you get. And I could barely taste the sauce, so mine was really dry.

    Prime Rib Loco Moco
    Brittany E.

    Stacks Pancake House is a great casual brunch spot with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the setup is simple and efficient--you order at the front counter and take a number if you're dining in, or wait for your food if you're doing takeout. You can also order online for takeout. We ordered the Captain Crunch Nut French Toast, and it definitely stood out to us --perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness when paired with the syrup. My husband ordered the Prime Rib Loco Moco for $28, a weekend-only special, and it was absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, with a full 12 oz of prime rib served with egg and rice. The food came out quickly, and the service was friendly and efficient. Even my husband, who doesn't usually crave brunch, said we should come back more often. Overall, a solid brunch spot with great food and smooth service. Definitely worth checking out!

    Stacks Pancake House reminded me of Aloha Stacks I visited at Mission Viejo and RSM. Similar menu, similar style of ordering and serving. The Culver location has many tables outdoors shared by eateries nearby. I enjoyed the CBH omelette I ordered. It came with a small serving of salsa which is pretty tasty. I had a bite of Portuguese sausage which is good too. There is only one size of coffee available but you can get free refill if you want to take the time to see the cashier at the counter. The ordering line could be long depending on when you arrive. Fortunately it moves pretty fast. We were able to grab a couple of adjacent tables for our large party. Overall it was a good breakfast experience.

    The food is amazing! Service, ambience are amazing. The service is prompt! Our food was hot and delicious. This was our first time at this establishment. We will be back!!! Spread the word about this great place!

    Big metal piece in the burrito

    I'm sad to leave this 1-star review. We have been ordering delivery from the Irvine location for about 6 years. We enjoy the food and our kid loves their French toast. However, we had an issue with a breakfast burrito a few weeks ago that had a big metal piece in it. I almost broke my tooth... It looked like a commercial food bag tied (shown on the picture) fell into the food during prep. I've reached out to the restaurant via their "info" and their Instagram page. I sent follow up email and a message. I waited longer than I probably should have. They didn't bother to respond. It was a simple customer service issue with very simple resolution - reply to the email, recognize the issue and offer a resolution. Instead, here we are... We might or might not order from Stacks Pancake House again, but we feel our patronage wasn't appreciated at all. This is a privately owned business, and we are disappointed in their customer service or the luck there of...

    This place is clean and has plenty of seating. Also to mention if inside the restaurant is full there's plenty of seating outside too and the servers will being the food to your table as they give you a number locater to put on your table. The food was so ono (delicious)!!! It came out hot and fresh. The Kalua pork had good flavor with the perfect hint of saltyness to it, as what Kalua Pork should be. The mac salad was on point with the right balance of mayonnaise. The omlette also had good flavor the only downside of the omlette was that it seemed thin. We're used to getting omlettes that are fluffy, but overall the flavor of the Kalua Pork was what made our meal good. The Spam Musubi had great flavor with the Teriyaki sauce glazed on it and the Spam with fried perfectly. We will definitely be back to try out some of the other onolicious looking items on the menu.

    Amarah E.

    The food was good, but kind of overpriced. The waffles were not crunchy at all, which was a little disappointing. Service is ok, not great. The line to order was pretty long, but there was plenty of seating.

    Does this location serve Coke from its fountain? Our location switched to Pepsi.

    Do they Take reservations?

    No, it's a fast casual restaurant so first come first seat; there are indoor and outdoor dining.

    Are the Ube pancakes available here?

    Yes they are

    Did you change the coconut syrup? The consistency and flavor have not been right the last two times we were there. Embarrassing because we rave about the coconut syrup and took friends. It was really NOT GOOD.

    I have noticed it also being more "watered down" but haven't tried it since.

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Yes, as long as they are open.

    Anyone try their musubi and if so, what are your honest thoughts?

    Funny you should ask....less than a month ago I ordered the Misubi. It had MAPLE SYRUP on no not teriyaki. I called and spoke with Patty. "Ok come back and I will leave a note, we will give you another one" So thats what I did I came back when I… 

    Does this business do curbside orders? Will they deliver takeout to your car?

    I'm not 100 percent but I am sure if you call them they will bring it to your car, they have friendly staff and mindsets. Just remember to tip for the extra service!

    Are the waffles and pancakes vegan? What other vegan options do they have?

    Is this place open for dine in yet?

    Not as of 7/18 per governors orders for California. However outdoor seating is available.

    Do they take phone orders? I saw someone ask this same question and someone answered "yes," but also that they don't answer the phone, so wondering if this has changed. Or do…

    I'm not sure if they take phone orders but they do take online orders.

    Are they open 4th of July?

    Yes...😀

    Is this location closed? Friends say they aren't answering the phone? I called myself several times and same issue. Thanks!

    It's open. They just don't answer the phone.

    Are you dog friendly/accommodating?

    There's outside seating for dogs :)

    Are the pancakes and waffles dairy free?

    I don't believe they are. Many choices so that may be an option.

    I'm getting dragged here tomorrow. Any vegan options?

    The waffles are not vegan. The menu online states "egg battered". #veganforLIFE ?? I am headed ti Stacks right now and will probably end up drinking a glass of OJ and a side of fruit. ???????

    Are there any gluten free breakfast places around Anaheim CA, that servers gf pancakes and such? Tired of fruit.

    Flappy Jack's Pancake House in Orange has a ton of gluten free pancakes AND waffles. They are amazing!

    Do they sell alcohol?

    No

    Any gluten free items?

    Yes. Gluten free pancakes and waffles (dietary only).

My husband and I wanted to try the Spicy Chicken Plate & Moko Bowl this time around. Our initial thought was how salty the food was-- I couldn't even finish the LocoMoco due to the saltiness. The side of mac salad was nothing cultured about it, it tasted straight like unmixed mayonnaise and macaroni. The poke side that came with the chicken plate was mushy and over saturated with soysauce. Chicken was overly seasoned to a point the skin was too unappetizing. Overall, food wasn't great for what we expected for "Hawaii local plate", and we were not satisfied at all. These two orders + a drink cost close to $60! Such a high price for mediocre and salty food. This taste NOTHING like the local food in Hawai'i-- and nothing Hawaiian about it (let's get that straight). The whole point of this place is disappointing in the dishes to people who actually cook and make this type of food-- we have better expectations. I lived and was raised in HI and I can say this restaurant is overpriced, overhyped and food is disappointing. Personal experience and opinion-- I would not come back, and food is not appetizing. But, not surprised Costa Mesa locals love this spot. It's the location. Anyways, customer service/ staff is great though for 2 stars.

This place is located in the same center as McDonald's, El Pollo Loco, and Jam Jam Tea Lab. I ordered a SMALL poke bowl with two scoops of protein: SALMON and SCALLOPS for $14.50, and added avocado for $1. All toppings are FREE so pack it on to your heart's content. The prices are pretty reasonable and they give you A LOT of food. This was about the same amount of food as a 3-scoop protein bowl at my favorite poke spot. Service was okay, but when I asked the cashier to explain the sauces to me, she just kind of assumed I understood how it worked. She asked me if I wanted "poke sauce," but did not tell me what was in it. Then she asked me if I wanted sesame oil and I said, "Ok." I asked for light spicy mayo, sesame oil, and poke sauce, and she drizzled it all over the bowl... Anyhow, I expected the bowl to be super salty, but somehow it wasn't even though she had put a lot of sauce in there lol. Overall, the bowl lacked flavor and the sauce was not evenly distributed. The rice was good, the salmon was fresh. The scallops were meh. I didn't like that the toppings tasted like they came out of a can. I would not get the pineapple or "crab" (imitation crab) again. Also, the cucumbers were pickled, which caught me by surprise. Their fried onion was more crunchy than other places which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, although this place gives you a bang for your buck, it left me unfulfilled. I think of they marinated their fish and sauces together rather than drizzling it on the bowl, it would be better. I will not be coming back. They have a few cute wooden tables inside so you can eat with a few of your friends or dine in by yourself. Better luck next time!

The plates come with salad and rice but you can pay extra for macaroni. I wish macaroni was not extra or not as much extra. Although if I am getting the deal, I don't mind paying a bit extra on 2 since 1 will be free but it would be nice if it was a smaller charge or included as a side option for plates. I also highly recommend grabbing extra sauce from the back - the chicken plates can be a bit dry and if you like it with a good amount of sauce, you will want extra on top of what is already provided. For me, a lot of extra sauce is needed to cover the rice and chicken and give it some actual noticeable teriyaki flavor. Overall this is a good establishment with a wide choice of meats to grill for yourself at home (if you're into that) and the staff has always been friendly! I will be back for another happy hour deal soon!
