Great breakfast spot. Their waffles are excellent and bacon is crisp. Usually a 15-20 minute wait on weekend mornings (brunch time). But they give you free coffee to sip, so it's not a big prob.

Looking for a classsic American breakast, or maybe a new twist on some old favorites. Stacks is a terrific place any day of the week. A little crowded on Sunday for brunch, but worth the wait if you...
