Stacks Pancake House - Irvine

Amazing brunch spot! I really enjoyed my crepes ? the chicken fried steak was so good! The best I had so far! I recommend this place and I will go back to try their waffles !Food: 5/5

Great breakfast place. Small location but a lot of outside seating in the shopping center. Can get very crowded on the weekends. Reasonable prices and pretty big tasty plates. Had chicken fried steak and eggs today that was really good. Breakfast burrito, French toast, breakfast sandwich all have been good.Food: 4/5

Classic brunch with a Hawaiian twist! We tried their Ube Coconut pancakes and I ordered an Avocado Omelette for myself. The pancakes were a short stack of two and had plenty of ube flavor since both the batter and syrup on top were vibrantly purple from the ube. The omelette and potatoes were solid, the meal helped satisfy my brunch cravings. I tried some of the Island Chilaquiles from someone at my table who ordered it but it wasn't as good as I expected. Plus the eggs were cold.If you're looking for a relatively cheap brunch with some unique items as well as the classics, try this place out!

This is solely gonna be about the food. Ube Latte: (1/10) SO grainy????? Like why was it so grainy at the bottom? Coffee taste was nothing special. Could barely taste the ube despite the vibrant purple color. Loco Moco w/ Hamburger Steak Eggs: (2/10)1. Rice decently cooked. It definitely could be more soft and pillowy if cooked more fresh. It honestly tasted like microwaved leftover rice. (6.8/10)2. Egg: Asked for it over easy and got just that. Might be the most well cooked item on this plate. (10/10)3. Hamburger Steak: overcooked, thing, dry, chewy, and flavorless. All I could taste was plain ground meat. Where was the flavor ?? (2/10)4. Gravy: flavorless. It made the rice softer which was nice in terms of texture but I could barely tell when I was eating the dish. (1/10)Overall, super disappointing and subpar.

Great food, not just the pancakes (which delicious though). Bacon garnished with micro greens lovely touch. Island chilaquiles ? Super tasty, not at all greasy, and enough for two moderate eaters. Don't miss this place!9
