We found this place on our trip to Memphis in 2021. We stopped here before we visited the Staxs Museum. We were a little skeptical because it looked very fancy. We were wrong, this place was great!!! Our nieces had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and the Chicken & Pancakes. My wife and I split a brisket omelet and pancakes. The pancakes were big and good. The Cinnamon Roll pancake did not need syrup. It was a great find!!! We will visit again the next time we go to Memphis. read more

After multiple lackluster experiences, we waited a couple years to try it again and sadly it's only gotten worse. New pos system so gift card didn't work because it wasn't transferred to the new system. Staff didn't know how to run a gift card. Wasn't given silverware without having to ask for it. Didn't get coffees until halfway through our meal. Not a breakfast spot in Memphis I would recommend. read more

Amazing!!!!! The food, the staff, everything was amazing. I had the pancake beignets. It's to die for. I loved the biscuits and honey butter. If you're in Memphis definitely go visit them. read more

I wanted to like this place sooooooo badly, but no. The menu looks great, but the execution of some of the dishes fell short. The orange juice is amazing. The salmon omelet was very good, according to my mom. But the shrimp and grits and the bayou bowl were very basic in flavor. The presentation of both dishes were lovely, but not the plating. There was splattered food on the plate holding the bowl... I added an order of French toast after sending my bayou bowl back (I didn't request a refund) and the brioche was as thick and rich as you'd expect. The flavor, though, fell flat. I was hoping for better, but no. My brother ordered the banana pudding French toast (special for the month) and again...no good. I was hoping for a cleaner booth and the floor over all was a bit dirty, but it's Covid and staffing may be low so it wasn't a big deal. Try it out! It might be better with time! read more

5 stars for food quality but 1 star for customer service. They refused to take a to-go over the phone if you are going to pay with cash. My order was for ONE item and the total was $13 after tax. Since they wouldn't take my order over the phone, I had to literally place my order at the restaurant...mind you, this was on a Saturday morning when they were extremely busy. As a result, I wound up having to unnecessarily spend 40 minutes sitting around waiting for my order....all because they refused to allow me to place a $13 to-go order over the phone since I was paying cash. Their handling of this was totally excessive and unbelievably ridiculous. If their pancakes weren't as good as they are... I'd never order from them again after that experience. read more

I stopped by this location and the service was great. I love how it looks on the outside and inside of the building but my pancakes were okay at best. I ordered the 4 stack chocolate chip pancakes and most of the pancakes were dry, burnt, and not tasty. All of my chocolate chips were in the middle of the stacks, all down the middle, and nothing on the outer edge. They also tried to give me two different sets of pancakes that were not on my order before finally getting my correct order. The middle of the pancakes were the best part but everything else was okay. Very disappointed! read more

I think my friend and I were drawn to this breakfast/brunch spot because of the unique option to "pour your own pancakes" right infront of you on a griddle. Sadly, due to COVID, they aren't doing this right now. The menu has lots of options. I wouldn't necessarily come here again for the food, but I would come when the "pour your own pancakes" is back. The dishes we got were good, but not the best. Overall, a good experience with friendly staff! read more

Found this place on Yelp! We started with two amazing coffees, the French vanilla latte and honey vanilla latte with almond milk. To eat we ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and the chicken biscuit with sriracha honey and scrambled eggs. We also ordered the pancake beignets, however we didn't get them until we were already done eating our entrees and the oil tasted old. I suggest ordering these prior to ordering your entrees to ensure you have room for them! Definitely will be back for the coffee. read more

This place has a really cute decor and vibe, and is squeaky clean. We had the specialty lattes, biscuits and gravy, and both had some pancakes. Everything was hot and fresh, huge portions. Only docking a star because I feel like the sausage gravy could have more meat. But overall a solid breakfast place. read more

This is such a cool little breakfast restaurant! My family & I have eaten here several times, and it's always good. From cinnamon roll pancakes to omelettes to biscuits & gravy, it's all been delicious! My only complaint is their process for taking orders. They typically have 2 people taking orders, and as you'd expect on a Sunday morning, there's a line out the door. Multiple times I saw the cashiers leaving their register to go take drinks to a table, get silverware, etc. There would be a 3 to 4 minute lag each time, as the line of customers continued to grow. It was so frustrating! The rest of the team seemed to have their system down. The girl assigning tables at the door, as well as the people delivering food from the kitchen to the tables, were all "spot on" doing their job fast & efficiently. Overall, a cool place for breakfast, but if you're not in the mood for a wait, this might not be your spot. I'll admit, the thought of the order process has encouraged me to go elsewhere a few times. read more

Very very very good food. Honestly the food is great. There are 3 main issues I have with this place. The first one is that although 90% of the food is great, the pancakes are mediocre....which is a problem because of its name... The second issue I had with the place is that the wait for the food is unnaturally long. It doesn't matter if they are slow or busy or if the line is out the door or nonexistent...the wait for the food is long. The drinks come quick and they are good (and strong) so you try to convince yourself that it's worth the money. Third thing is the prices. This place is ridiculously expensive. It's set up as a cute mom and pop type shop but charge you the same as an upscale breakfast place. I still recommend to go there...maybe just not frequently. read more

Don't take your ass here, unless you willing to give up almost two hours of your time for the shit!!!! Y'all got to know I'm pissed. We waited 30 min to be seated and then was told you got to place your order at the register. Ok cool, no problem. The place was not busy when we got there and there wasn't a lot of space to have a lot of people,think the size of Starbucks( it's not big to hold a lot of people). As we sat down after ordering I heard a customer ask the waiter " hey can you check on our food, I think they forgot about us". That should have been my sign... nope we sat down and we sat and waited we sat and waited and we sat and waited,not many people was getting food so it was confusing, but we waited and then after an hour went by we ask a waiter " hey can you check on our food". She came back and was like there's three people ahead of you but they don't have much so it should be up shortly. My husband had perfect view of the kitchen and he noticed a lady( we later find out this was the manager)showing the cook something on her phone, he said the cook fascial expression was like I'm to busy to be looking at this right now. So about ten minutes go by and they come to our table with our food. Y'all when I say my mouth dropped and I look at the girl who brought our food and I was like are you serious this is what we waited an hour for!!! Hell no let me see the manger.. the manger comes out and she's holding some egg whites and she was like I heard you guys was upset so I brought two more egg whites.y'all my look at her was like Giirrlll!!! If you don't get that shit out here. I told her my husband has the power breakfast it's literally one slice of a tomato cut in half and one sausage cut in half and not even half an avocado cut in three slices and I ordered all sides..two pancakes, one chicken sausage cut in half and two eggs with no yolk( egg whites) and we waited an hour for this... she was like we go by the ticket and our kitchen is small, and if I own the place I would definitely add more to the power breakfast and I spoke to the owner and he came up with this himself. ( so y'all it sound like she knew that it wasn't enough and she's heard plenty of people complaining about it) I said ma'am it's not ok for you to have us wait for this short order, I said if a restaurant have a big order they will fill the small ones if it take longer for someone else food to cook. She said no they don't and I've been in the restaurant business for 22 years, I said ma'am they do if my husband order a steak from somewhere and it's going to take longer they will bring out my food so that it want get cold and explain to him that his order is taking a little longer to cook. She then said oh I meant this place don't do that. I said well you should or find another way to do better, there shouldn't be no way you see these reviews from yelp and don't do better for your customers. I suggest maybe precooking the sausage and maybe have tomatoes already sliced and pancakes maybe take two to three minutes on each side, I said do better for the sake of your customers and for the fact that your already cheating us on the skimpy meal anyway.She said I can only do what ticket come first. She said we haven't waited a quite an hour I said ma'am the guy called us at 11:45 we took two minutes to place our order and as we sit here it's 12:49 so yes the hell we did, I'm particular with my time now cause I see how valuable it is, so I'll never lie about it. Y'all I get staff shortages and long wait but that was very much so not the case... my suggestion to management is do better. However you'll never get another opportunity to fool me again!!! read more

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The host was quite dry and rude when me and my family walked in. No introduction, no welcome, she just asked how many of us there were and told us a table number. Once we figured out where to go we sat down and did our order on the phone. Food was just ok, quite overpriced for pancakes and bacon. For the three of us our total was $68 without the tip which they asked for up front! Never again will I waste my money or my time at this place. Some people like waiting on themselves, I don't. Waffle House had better pancakes. Eggs came out cold. It just wasn't good. read more

This was the worst breakfast i ever had. When you go out to eat, is because you want to lay back and have a decent meal that can be better then making it at home. The eggs tasted watery. the biscuits wasn't even done right and i got the chicken biscuit and instead of breast, i got a chicken finger inside the biscuit . Everything tasted without any flavor.. the only good thing about this place.. is the staff.!! everyone seem nice and polite. The cooks are the ones making the bland food. For the price that you pay, it should be good. It was a Very bad experience as a first timer. It doesn't matter how busy they are. You will wait for a long time. Seem today wasn't busy and we still waited about 2 hours. read more

You KNOW we had to hit that post-church Sunday brunch!!! And honestly, I was looking forward to some goooood food more than church. My familia and I checked in on the waitlist via Yelp, but the wait was still considerably long (understandably so). I ordered the Memphis BQQ omelette with a side of sweet potato fries. We shared beignets. The delicious omelette was GENEROUSLY filled with pork! The fries were a biiit oily for my liking. The beignets were a delight. Ironically, none of us ordered pancakes, so you KNOW we'll have to make another trip and ordered them! Thanks, Staks! read more

I don't know if this place has gone downhill or if they were just having an off day, but I could have gotten a better Benedict at Perkins for less money. The eggs were over-cooked, and I could barely cut whatever the bread base was. If that was hollandaise on top, it didn't taste like it and there was just a watery drizzle of it. To their credit, the server/barista who checked on me offered to ask for more. She also made me a regular coffee version of their S'more Latte because their espresso machine was down. It's rare I don't take my leftovers (and there were a lot of them) with me, but this dish was unappealing and not what I expected from this establishment. read more

We had high hopes for this place after reading reviews and were pretty disappointed upon arrival. For starts it was a Wednesday morning and the place had about half a dozen tables occupied when we arrived, and the place was pretty dirty. The restaurant itself was super cute upon first glance.. but once we sat down we realized how dirty the floors were and our table had a weird tacky feel to the top.. We ordered a burrito bowl, cinnamon roll pancakes, an adult hot chocolate, and a brunch margarita with orange juice -the burrito bowl came out within 5 mins of ordering it.. before we got drinks or our pancakes- which was kind of strange that it wasn't planned a bit better so our food came out together vs sitting there waiting for the other half. The bowl itself was not great... the onions and peppers tasted like they hadn't been cooked at all- and the eggs (supposed to be scrambled) seemed like they were cooked on a grill that was too hot.. so my bowl had big chunks of overcooked egg. The sausage was hard and either had been sitting for a while or was over cooked.. the entire thing was covered in cheese (which made it partially edible) and some watery fresh pico/salsa mix- which made the entire thing very runny and weird... I think that should be served on the side. The cinnamon roll pancakes were delicious and HUGE which worked out since the bowl I ordered wasn't worth finishing.. our drinks were really good, but the lady behind the bar had a really crummy attitude and we heard her cussing about call in orders or something else going on while we were there, which we thought was pretty unprofessional.. overall I wouldn't have gone out of our way to eat here- but if you are in the neighborhood it would be worth dropping in for some cinnamon roll pancakes! read more

I had the gluten free pancakes which I was very excited for considering how Staks is known for their pancakes. It was by far the worst pancakes that I have ever had in my entire life. I understand that gluten free options can never compare to actual pancakes, but for these prices you would expect something at least halfway decent. They had no flavor, we're extremely dense, and not cooked all the way through. Also for an additional $1.50 I had maybe 5 slices of a strawberry. I will save my money next time and get a gluten free box mix next time. Extremely disappointed. read more

Seating was a bit confusing, there were several empty booths and tables...not too many parties lingering around and yet we were given a wait time of about 15 minutes. That's where the 4 stars results from. No one had any explanation. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Memphis has good pancake and biscuit destinations and this was one of them. Not more than about $40 for a party of three with an appetizer and coffee, pretty reasonable. read more

A really good brunch place in Memphis!! My girlfriend and I came here on a Sunday for brunch and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The wait could've been really long (30+ minutes) but luckily we got on the waitlist through the Yelp app so we only waited around 10 minutes!! The way they handle the wait for customers is kinda weird. First, you check in through through a lady at the front of the restaurant where you'll wait until they're ready for you to get into another line to order food. And then once you've orders your food, they'll bring it to your table. I just thought it was weird how they wanted you to check in first in order to actually get in the line to order your food. But I don't see this being a problem on days where they aren't that busy. The food and drinks were really good tho! I tried the cafe mocha which was surprisingly super tasty and my girlfriend liked her iced vanilla latte. The bbq omelette was also really good and the sweet potato fries were super crispy! read more

After hearing about this place and knowing how much I love pancakes, I decided to stop by. First issue for me is the on-line wait list and second is the small venue. With that said, the service was great! Staff is very helpful and attentive but unfortunately the food was a fail on this trip. The pancakes were not done or that mushy middle which I hate. I asked for soft scrambled eggs and got a lump of eggs with some brown edges and I hate brown eggs. The biscuit was too thick and not hot. The bacon was great and the breakfast margarita was great also. I sat at the community table and witness another dish I maybe tempted to return and try. read more

A really cute concept: breakfast, cocktails, and coffee! Delicious food. The eggs in my omelette we light and fluffy. The hombre omelette was a great mix of Mexican seasonings, black beans, sausage, and cheeses with a side of avocado and tomato. My husband's burrito bowl was delicious as well. We both had a side of pancakes that were delicious! Very friendly service. The wait was a little long but we killed the time shopping in a cute gift shop next door! Overall great spot! read more

For some reason I thought I would hate this place and slightly wanted to not like it. Boy, was I wrong! The pancakes (blueberry) were cooked perfectly and very light and not too thick. The Porcellino's bacon was delicious, but it is 4-5 bucks for a side of it. The service was great and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to try more pancake selections. They have some tables with griddles so you can cook your own pancakes. Like a hibachi pancake house. Also, they don't accept tips because they have an elevated pay scale for their staff. This is not another broken egg, thankfully. read more

Brunching inside a precious Tiffany blue decorated restaurant- why yes of course! How can you not fall head over heels with such a whimsical and inviting spot?! With the name "Staks," you can be sure the house specialty is anything and everything related to pancakes! Their menu is unique compared to typical brunch places, offering their own local Southern flair. Business has been booming since their recent opening and there was a 40 min wait Sunday morning. I didn't mind waiting as I had ordered a sweet, decadent toasted s'mores coffee to keep me company. (I checked with the host first to make sure it was ok to order coffee while waiting on a table. It's normally a counter service restaurant but during busy times, you have to wait for an open table before ordering at the counter). If you're a fan of sweet, flavored coffees, then get the toasted s'mores coffee- it had me wishing I was sitting by the campfire. Who knew s'mores could be captured ever so perfectly in the form of coffee?! I opted for a short stak with blueberries with a side of Porcellino's scrumptious bacon. I am a big fan of sweet and savory combinations that put sheer excitement in my tastebuds! The pancakes were the right amount of thickness (not too thick nor thin) and fluffy goodness. You can even request to cook your own pancake at your table, which was an interesting concept. The smoked salmon omelette was surprisingly good- smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, and topped with a balsamic drizzle wrapped in 3 fluffy eggs. Again, it's that sweet and savory combo that pulls my heart strings. The side of creamy, buttery Gouda grits sent me to breakfast heaven. Next time, I can create my own omelette with whatever ingredients my tummy desires. Staks is so flippin and effin good in terms of food and service. I can see why it has become quite the popular breakfast/brunch spot. Also, tips are not accepted here- it's their policy. Hurry over to Staks, you will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped by after flying in from San Diego around 9am on a Friday morning. Not too busy when we arrived but started getting busy around 10! The entrance is kind of awkward bc it gets crowded while people are looking at the menu while others are trying to fall in line to order (basically not enough space). I got the Memphis bbq omelette w/ a side of hash browns. Tasted awesome & portions were perfect. We also got the pancake beignets and they were okay. I thought the actual beignet needed more flavor since it was a bit too bland. My sister got the monte cristo sandwich 3.5/5. The buns were brioche french toast and a little too soggy. It had a good sweet & savory taste but wish it was crispy! Overall, cute vibe and nice employees! read more

Awful place to dine. Space is limited. Seating is cramped by people waiting in line as they cough and sneeze over your food. The cashier popped chewing gum and took nearly 30 minutes to take the order for two people ahead of us. Very unorganized as we were pulled away from line by what I assumed to be a host but she had no hostess skills as we were pulled away from the line for no reason and then jumped in line by a part of four. This place is extremely loud and uncomfortable. There needs to be restructuring of how patrons are received. People dining in should be immediately seated, however they're not. They wait in the same long line as everyone else with to-go orders which is not conducive to creating a smooth flow of good business. We decided to leave after having waited 35 minutes to place an order, and will not be back. read more
