    The only thing that saved this visit is our server. She was amazing. The food was bland and overpriced. My over medium eggs were both over and underdone- told was kind of hard and the whites were runny. The hash was canned and definitely not cooked enough. It was just all very mediocre.

    We had breakfast here because we were staying at the Ramada next door. There is really nothing much to say about this place. The food and service were alright. The place look spacious and clean. Plenty of parking space.

    Stacks Pancake Co. is a true gem that has stolen my heart and delighted my taste buds. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for something special. This cozy pancake haven exceeded all of my expectations, leaving me with an delightful brunching experience. First and foremost, the pancakes at Stacks are nothing short of wonderful. They offer an extensive selection of flavors and toppings, each more tempting than the last. Whether you're a classic pancake enthusiast or an adventurous flavor seeker, Stacks has something for everyone. The pancakes are light, fluffy, and cooked to perfection, making each bite a heavenly delight. The portions are more than generous, ensuring that you leave fully satisfied and content. The creativity and attention to detail in their menu is truly commendable. I highly recommend trying their signature Mini Waffle Benny- a combination of sweet and savory. However, I did have food envy of my gal pals' dishes- the Carnitas Benny looked incredible and the GF pancakes were almost too good to be true! And I can't forget to mention their espresso drinks, the whipped cream was what really made them so delicious. The service at Stacks Pancake Co. is fantastic. The staff members are friendly, attentive, and responsive. Our server offered recommendations and honest answers, she was also very helpful accommodating special dietary needs. We had a very nice brunch at Stacks and the prices are quite reasonable, considering the quality and quantity of the food. You get exceptional value for your money, and the experience is worth every penny. This is a place where you can treat yourself without breaking the bank. Stacks Pancake Co. is a pancake lover's paradise. Their delectable pancakes, friendly service, inviting ambiance, and excellent value make it a must-visit destination in Portland, Maine. If you're in search of a memorable breakfast or brunch experience, look no further than Stacks. Prepare to indulge in pancake perfection that will leave you wanting to return again and again.

    Just average pancakes and breakfast. Nothing special but service is always pleasant and you don't feel rushed.

    Country breakfast wrap! It's huge
    Kyle A.

    I have a hunch that things have improved here since the first reviews. Because my experience was nothing like any of the one stars I'm reading. Right now when so many restaurants are focusing on tiny menus with very limited options, it's nice to see a full menu. First thing to point out is this is one of the last places you can get a full meal for two under $40. We each got a beverage and a full breakfast including a side and the total was $39 and some change. I got one of the pancake wraps, I believe country breakfast wrap. It was huge. The picture does not do it justice. Flavors were well balanced and the sausage they used was high quality. I do recommend getting syrup for it though, the pancake is very good but just a touch dry. My husband got a Benedict that was equally as huge. The hollandaise was very nice. He also got a side of grits which came in a full meal sized bowl. I took one bite and told my husband that I wanted to come back again! Highly recommend for a less expensive diner breakfast.

    Well priced breakfast place, slightly better then an IHOP. Quick and big portions. Lots of different options to choose from.

    The SO loves pancakes. I mean, loves pancakes. I'm the "I'll eat palace diner pancakes but no other pancakes" type of person. SOMEONE saw some edgy marketing on Instagram for this new place called stacks. "Where is it?" "On riverside st?" "Is that where the Egg and I was?" "I think so?" So someone had his mind set on trying this new place that was advertising amazing buttermilk pancakes. Confirmed, it is definitely the old Egg and I, but a little edgier. The moment you walk in you know it's a diner. They've got the cake showcase up front, mixed with updated modern cups and pipe shelving. The turquoise and black color combo brings both a retro but up to date feel. There's still booths and the crowd is the same as the old Egg and I, and I'm not sure the menu in reality is that much different. The emphasis on pancakes is heavier, with slightly more unique twists. We ordered a hot chocolate, a peanut butter chocolate stack, and a homemade challah French toast (with blueberry compote and vanilla 'sauce'). Here's the reality: 1. Hot chocolate. It's Swiss miss hot chocolate that came unmixed with a load of whipped cream. 2. Pb and Choco stack. Three giant pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter whipped into the batter. Dry, overpowering chocolate, and bland syrup. It was a passionless, lacking of fluff and too little pb pancake. The SO can eat a million pancakes and he could not finish it. 3. The challah French toast: probably was challah? But when it came out it was essentially slathered in icing and blueberry compote/ sauce. It was wayyyyy too much and wayyyyy too sweet. The French toast itself was not bad but I feel cheated that the extra stuff cost an extra 6$ (??) and I couldn't even eat it. The server was super friendly. All the staff were so nice and I definitely felt bad for saying that everything was good. It probably is if you come here with the right expectations. It certainly is diner food and it's great that someone has come in to bring this place back on line. I'm not a breakfast snob but the food just didn't sit well with me. Know that this is a new interpretation of what it was and you will enjoy it as such.

    Met and greeted by not one but two friendly welcoming young woman at the entry and we were immediately seated at a very clean table in a nice fresh setting. We ordered for the family and the food arrived quickly and hot and was delicious. Out server was warm and pleasant and provided us with great service. We will definitely return. Thank you Stacks for a great breakfast.

    California Omelet
    Hannah R.

    California Omelet - This was a 2 out of 5. The omelet was dry and the chunks of tomato and avocado seemed like it was cooked in a rush. I was pretty disappointed with the "home fries" - which were more like potato slices. It was ok but not was I was expecting. I ordered toasted raisin bread and it was so burnt, it was black. I got a new side of toast but it was somehow still burnt. Overall, the waitress was very nice and the environment was cute. However, the food was lacking which made the experience subpar.

    We have been wanting to try Stacks since it opened and I must say for a restaurant attached to a Ramada Inn I was pleasantly surprised at how cute it is and how GOOD the food is! I have not had pancakes this delicious and fluffy in a long time. I ordered the blueberry pancake short stack combo (came with 2 eggs and 3 slices of bacon) and my husband got the rodeo chicken wrap which came with SEASONED CURLY FRIES. Sold. There's at least 3 other things on the menu I am looking forward to trying, so we will for sure be making a return trip soon. They also have a wide variety of espresso drinks, smoothies and fresh juice for those wanting to keep things on the lighter side. If you're looking to dig into a hearty breakfast, you may have a hard time deciding because the menu is extensive and there are so many yummy sounding options. I plan on trying the chicken scramble- eggs over diced chicken tenders over home fries with demi glaze and Jack cheese. If you want a reasonably priced breakfast in Portland where you can avoid downtown and lines without sacrificing quality, this is the spot!

    First time trying Hot Suppa in Portland and it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the whole…read morepork egg sandwich (without the egg) and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked pork with great flavor in every bite. I also tried a bite of the biscuits and gravy at the table and they were rich, comforting, and seriously tasty. The drinks were just as impressive. The espresso martini was perfectly balanced, and even the mocktail was refreshing and well made. And our waitress was the sweetest (and honestly the prettiest!). She was so warm and friendly that I'd come back just to chat with her again. Great service, great food, great experience overall. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Portland.

When we finally came during the off season, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity since wait times were shorter. The wait on a Saturday afternoon was about 15-20 minutes. I will say - I had high hopes for Hot Suppa. Between my fiance and I, we ordered the waffle, side of corned beef hash, and the fried green tomatoes eggs benny. The corned beef hash here is excellent - that I do have to acknowledge. I was a bit underwhelmed by the fried green tomatoes though. The tomatoes were just okay, but the excessive hollandaise sauce really just made the whole dish waaay too heavy. It was also just messy. Service was slow & our waitress tended to disappear for long periods of time. Coffee & water refills both took a long time. Parking here is difficult but not impossible. Most spots are only for an hour or so.

To start off I enjoyed a Morning Bun Latte while my wife got the Honey & Juniper Latte. Both came out perfect temperature with well done latte art and delicious taste. My wife was obsessed with their pottery mugs that the lattes came served in. Food wise we were looking to split everything and it worked perfectly. We ended up choosing French Toast, Soft Scrambled Eggs, and the Fried Potatoes side. Every dish would be an absolute no brainer for us to order again. Every bite of food kept us wanting even more. Lastly we grabbed a chocolate croissant to go and that was just as tasty and enjoyed it after our visit. After this visit it is certainly a new favorite spot of ours, and look forward to coming back! Worth your time visiting!

I was really intrigued by the rye and caraway muffin, and I love a good pastrami. Unfortunately, the thin pastrami was a bit chewy. If there is a meat spectrum that ranges from jerky to moist and tender (such as Sam LaGrassa's), it was too close to jerky. With plenty of butter and melted cheese, it was pretty greasy, though the flavor was enjoyable. I was happy to try it, and my wife really enjoyed the complex Como Se Dice Buon Giorno, with prosciutto, hash brown, banana peppers, etc. Next time, I'd probably grab a package of their English Muffins to bring home and create my own egg sandwich, but it's a quaint neighborhood spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

However, the service was pretty rough and that definitely soured the whole experience for us. We came in around brunch time on the day after Halloween. The hostess invited us to seat ourselves at the bar. It took a while to get menus... then took a while to get water... then took even longer for someone to take our drink order. When they did, they were of what we tried to order - the menu that we were given was out of date. So we pivoted and ordered different drinks... which took a while to arrive. After we placed our food order, things took a lonnnnggg time to come out. It looked like they were jamming with to-go orders, so that much I can appreciate. But that 40+ minute ticket time can suck either way. And when we did finish our meal, it was like pulling teeth trying to get our check. The loaded breakfast tots and english muffin pizzas were very tasty. We took an oreo cream puff home to enjoy later and it was soooo good. So I really can't knock the food or drinks. But the servers/bartenders were totally checked out and it showed. It could have been an off day (hungover from Halloween maybe?) The menu was pretty torn up and dirty as well and had not been updated to the current offerings. I've heard such good things about Ugly Duckling so I'm hoping it gets some TLC to bring it back up to standard.
