This morning I felt like treating myself with something different for breakfast. While reviewing my options, I remembered Stacks was located in Scarborough. I've been to the Portland location before and had a good experience so decided why not! I had the cheesecake stuffed French toast and it was incredible! My wife had the apple waffle and she also really enjoyed hers. If you like HOT coffee, and don't mind a little wait, I would strongly recommend. read more

Stacks Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

See all

We have been waiting in Scarborough for a nice local breakfast place to arrive ever since the departure of the old Egg & I that was housed here before and they have done a really nice job. The menu is EXTENSIVE and broad ... there are items for every single appetite here and they cook it quick and the service has been fantastic. My last trip, I had the corned beef eggs benedict and it was delicious. Sometimes eggs benedict can be a hot or miss situation with the hollandaise sauce being a key ingredient and they hit this one out of the park. Our server was super friendly and was working her station with the flare and feel of a person working in an intimate diner. They also have a bar area you can sit at if you'd like and it also has multiple TV's and the vibe is fun and old time feel to it as well. We will definitely be back ... as long as they stay in business as this location has been replaced 4 times since I have lived here about 9 years ago. read more

My group had a reservation made weeks ago, and we called yesterday. Today we arrive and are told to wait an hour for a table, which they end up splitting my party between like 4 tables. My eggs Benedict had barely any sauce, my friend ordered chocolate pancakes, which came out with no chocolate, and my other friend had the yogurt which was sour, grainy, and looked to be separating. It was definitely expired. Never going again, worst experience. read more

Our server was super attentive and friendly. We had Eggs Benedict and silver dollar pancakes. Both were tasty. Also great music, we should have asked if it was a Sirius XM station, it was right up our alley (yacht rock?) I wish we lived closer. read more

Friendly staff and a great omelet! The "international" has three different cheeses and is absolutely huge. Very nice decor and convenient access to 295 from Rte 1. read more

Cute breakfast joint! Massive menu to satisfy everyone's hunger. Waitress was super friendly and attentive to our party of 8. My garden omelet was giant and full of my favorite veggies. Home fries were perfectly crispy. Pancakes per the family were fluffy and simple, hitting spot. Huge perk having iced coffee with free refills! read more

Stacks Pancake - Garden omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

I've been here three times on a Sunday and never had to wait to be seated, The Challah French Toast comes with a blueberry compote and vanilla Creme. It's pretty delicious. I usually get a juice or smoothie too. The OJ is freshly squeezed and is perfect. Definitely coming back read more

I was quite happy to see a new breakfast place in Scarborough. Stacks didn't disappoint. I had a Greek Omelet and my husband the Huevos Rancheros. The serving sizes are huge. We both were very happy with our choices. We split a blueberry pancake which was very fluffy and tasty. Location is perfect, on Route 1. There was plenty of parking. Easy in and out. I like that we had to pay at the register, it saves time for everyone. Looking forward to returning. read more

Stacks Pancake - Cakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

After completing our 30-mile Parkinson's fundraising ride in September, we headed to Stacks Pancakes, and it turned out to be the perfect reward. What a great place! The menu is packed with so many tempting options that it actually took us a while to decide -- but whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. Their egg breakfasts are excellent -- fresh, hearty, and cooked just right -- and the pancake selection is almost overwhelming (in the best way possible). Between five adults and two children, we sampled a little bit of everything, and every plate was cleaned. The place was buzzing with energy -- we were there on a weekend, and it was very busy, so plan ahead. Either get there early or be prepared for a bit of a wait. But once you're seated, you'll find it's absolutely worth it. Stacks is one of those rare breakfast spots that manages to please everyone -- kids, adults, and tired cyclists alike. read more

It was our first visit. Food was very good and the service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and bright. Would go again if in the area. read more

For us, breakfast was just about perfect. So much food, excellent quality and tasty! Enough leftovers to augment at least one more meal (all those home fries!). Good coffee, wonderful friendly service. We got their early and they're already been open since 6am. The decor is fresh with Mediterranean colors .. Def worth a try! Soon! read more

Well, I'm sitting here waiting for my breakfast, but I love the personality of this place as well as a sweetheart of a server, Christina. Not only what's your kind to us but I watched her with other people... Just a lovely human. Food just came! Beautiful & Delicious! read more

Stacks Pancake - Potato pancake combo & cheesecake pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

I was rather excited (and bemused) to see Stacks open a location in Scarborough at the same space once occupied by Egg and I, which also had a location in Portland by the Ramada where Stacks' first location now sits. We decided to give the new spot a try recently for brunch. However, after we were seated, the waiter (who was himself expressing open frustration with how things were being run to patrons) informed us that it might be some 45 minutes at least before we'd get our food. Feeling that it might well take us just as long to leave, pack the kids back in the car, find somewhere else, and get served there, we decided to wait. It took awhile to get our food, though perhaps not quite as long as he'd warned. The food itself was fine - about the same as what we were used to from Stacks-prime. It's the same menu after all. I think we'll wait awhile before we go back. read more

Top notch diner food from breakfast to dinner. We had the breakfast combo similar to the lumberjack special. Friendly attentive wait staff.

Great selection on the food and the quality was awesome. I ordered fried steak & eggs while my wife had blueberry pancakes. Coffee was very good. Despite previous reviews that I read, we were seated within 5 minutes and was eating our breakfast in less than 15 minutes despite the crowd. read more

my first review was two star but they had just opened. We gave them another chance and have been going weekly. Have had pancakes, omelets, eggs Benedict. Everything is good, we have had excellent wait staff. Have never had lunch but we will. Great job read more

When Stacks was recommended for a breakfast option I was hesitant. You don't usually think gluten free when you think of pancakes but they have them! Gluten free waffles and French toast too! We were greeted as soon as we entered and taken to a booth. The waitress was attentive and polite. The space is huge and spread out. The owner stopped to see how we liked everything. Also, lots of parking. As a first time diner, I was impressed and can't wait to go back! read more

Stacks Pancake - Mini gluten free waffles- 1 with fruit, 2 done eggs Benedict style. The hollandaise is amazing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

Food here is really good- service is another story. Nobody knows who is serving who and we waited about ten minutes before someone came over and said it would be a few mjnutes. (Already seated so it was bizarre) If they figure out service this will be great but the other location is similar so not sure it will improve. Hope so because they make great breakfasts. read more

We sat at the counter for breakfast, expecting fast service, but despite two employees working behind the counter, they were doing other things. It took quite a while for a waitress to acknowledge us. She said she'd be right back but it seemed like a long time just to get coffee. We had to stop her from rushing off again so we could place our food order. The countertop is unusually high and not a comfortable place to eat. We should have sat in a booth. In addition, there were dirty dishes next to us from two previous customers that sat there a long time before a staff member finally removed them. I ordered the pancake sampler (apple, blueberry, & strawberry) but was very disappointed. I was expecting real fruit within the pancakes but instead the pancakes were thin and smothered with overly sweet canned fruit mixes. The "fruit" compotes tasted very artificial and were inedible. I scraped it off and was left with three small thin bland pancakes. My friend had regular pancakes but was also disappointed with them. They were quite bland. The manager asked me how my meal was and I when I shared my observations he admitted that they use canned compote and stated that those pancakes are more for kids, not adults. (This choice was not listed as a kid's selection on the menu). His comment made me feel as if he was blaming me for making a poor selection. Then he said that next time I should ask for real fruit. There won't be a next time. read more

Here's the thing, don't go expecting to be blown away by the food quality - it's not the palace diner or hot suppa, but it is a good solid breakfast joint. Think of a classic Greek diner with a large menu of options and large portions. The home fries have a dusting of seasoning that is very good. Pancakes are solid and good greasy spoon stuff. read more

I have been here three times, all three times has been a disaster. Poached eggs cooked through. French Dip sandwich was a glob of cheese on wet bread. The eggs were burnt, toast not toasted, just a complete mess. Wanted this place to be good but its seriously just bad. Avoid at all costs! read more

We went to try Stacks for the first time today and were a bit disappointed. The food is pretty mediocre. IHOP quality at bougie brunch prices. The base foods, like the pancakes, are okay but they gussy them up with fancy sounding sauces and combos to justify the higher prices. Service was slow but it sounded like they were short a server today and our waitress seemed to be trying her best. I didn't love the ambience. The bar in the center with the big screen TVs and hard rock music felt more like a sports bar than a breakfast diner but that may just be my tastes. Bottom line: food mediocre at high prices. They'll be successful as long as the sit down breakfast options in Scarborough are sparse. We won't be back. read more

Excellent service, clean and cozy restaurant, with an amazing variety of breakfast and lunch dishes. We stayed in Scarborough for the weekend, and Stacks was highly recommended. We ate there twice before we left for home. The creative and seasonal pancakes, fluffy scrambled eggs, as well as delicious and perfectly prepared home fries were definitely worth the trip. The service was friendly, efficient and very attentive. All dishes are fairly priced. If you're in the vicinity of Scarborough ME, be sure to check out Stacks. It's worth the trip! read more

Went to the Scarborough location and was totally disappointed. Waited over 45 minutes and never got our food. Other tables around us who arrived after us got their orders. I asked for my check and the waitress actually charged me for my grandson chocolate milk. At least the owner took my bill and said no charge. Totally horrible service. Too bad as i had heard great things from many folks who have go there. I will probably skip Stacks in the future read more

The food is a B-, B at best. Lots of filler food to bulk up a meal, meats are mediocre. The staff, however, are super nice and very hard working. I only go there because it's convenient. When I have time, I travel for a better experience. The owners don't try hard enough to make a good product. read more

Great service and outstanding foods.A super shoutout to Pedro. Definitely one of the best servers anywhere. Went there for Mother's Day it was busy yet pretty fast service. Will always go there read more

Stacks Pancake - Sausage Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

Such a treat to find a great breakfast spot in Scarborough. Menu is extremely expansive , service was good and the food was delicious.

My husband and I were staying in Scarborough area and wanted a quick breakfast. We weren't sure what to expect because their reviews were so few. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious and plentiful our omelettes were. The service was also very nice. read more

Fantastic blueberry pancakes, great servers in a busy location. Clean bright children friendly

I ordered chicken fried steak with white gravy, which came with 2 scrambled eggs & home fries, no toast. so I ordered a side of toast to go with it. My breakfast arrived with several problems . The chicken fried steak was hot and good. There was very little gravy on the steak so I asked to get more gravy. the waitress said sure, no problem except she never said she was going to charge me $3.75 for a very small container of gravy which should have come with the steak. Also both my eggs and home fries were cold. then she brought out the "toast" , it was 2 slices of bread barely warmed up, not toasted. she did take the bread back & brought out actual toast. it should not be that hard to serve hot food and toasted toast. especially since they were not at all busy and at the prices that are charged. This will be my last visit at Stacks,! read more

The food was delicious, service was impeccable and the menu is expansive. The portions are generous, but it not a cheap breakfast! For two of us with 20% tip it was near $50. Definitely will be returning. Our visit was around 8:00 am before the morning rush. The food was brought the table quickly after ordering. I'm glad that a sit down breakfast spot is back in Scarborough! read more

Yes for eggs florentine on my first visit w a group, the hollandause raise was great and u was w a group that I think were all pleased ordering both breakfast and or lunch, but may be random as yesterday the potato pancakes my friend and I ordered were overcooked and dry but served correctly w sour cream and applesauce. We shared a side of sausage that was excellent. It's a menu like a New Jersey diner and we were told the owner is from nj, but with all those options not sure what's fresh and good and what is not. Good service people! Cooks in the kitchen need supervision perhaps? read more

Another delicious meal at Stacks. So happy to have a great breakfast spot in Scarborough. read more

Coffee is horrible! It's a breakfast place!!!! One and done! Food is ok if you can't find another place.

The service was friendly. The menu is extensive. I recommend the curly fries. A new restaurant so very clean.

This was our first time visiting after trips to the other location. After being seated our waiter took quite a while to get coffee in and took a bit longer to get them to us. All in from when we ordered to when we received our food was roughly an hour. And when we got our food it was cold. I had high hopes given how good the egg and I was (and the fact stacks took over both former locations) but was dissatisfied with the service and quality of the food given the high price. We will not be returning for quite a while read more

After seeing some great reviews, we wanted to check this place out. Sadly, I'm not sure that we'll go back. My wife's food came out cold, almost like they didn't microwave the sausage enough. We got that fixed, but then struggled to get a refill on my coffee. Waited 10 minutes for that. Finally, we asked for the check, and despite the waiter coming in and out multiple times, he just never brought it. I ended up going to the front desk to talk to the manager (who was also aware of the cold food), and he just said "sorry, we're busy". Noted the wait on the coffee, he just shrugged. Needless to say, we were quite disappointed. Giving this 2 stars because my wife's pancakes had good flavor, but my omelette was fairly dry. read more

Great food ... French toast wasn't hot but the rest of the meal was excellent ! Grits we're awesome ... sausage great ... service excellent ! read more

Stacks Pancake Co. in Scarborough continues the fine traditions of Stacks in Portland: substantial menu of breakfast and lunch items, large portions, and friendly service. The space is one large room and a counter with stools in the middle of the room, with booths around the sides that are roomier than at many restaurants built when people were skinnier. The top of the booth had a pointed wooden edge that caught my sweater when I got up, and I tripped over part of the mat in the front entryway that was sticking up, which problems I called to their attention. The expansive menu has items as low as $5.50, with most selections under $20. My grilled chicken club sandwich was tasty even though the promised avocado was omitted. I appreciated the hot fries served alongside, though the small cup of cole slaw had more mayonnaise than I like. My wife said her huevos rancheros (a favorite breakfast item) were the best she has had since we visited Tucson. Next time we'll try the corned beef hash (another favorite), though our server said it's not made in-house. Our server was attentive and refilled our bottomless coffee cups from what she said was a fresh pot. The server brings the bill and you pay at the register on our way out. The waiting area was only a few seats and I wonder how that will work out at busy times. Scarborough has a lack of breakfast restaurants and we are glad Stacks is here! read more

Don't miss this great restaurant. The food is fabulous, the staff is friendly and attentive and the variety of menu items is extensive. This is a restaurant I will visit every time I am in Scarborough! read more
