Stacks

"The staff was friendly and we were promptly seated. There is a dedicated gluten free menu. I ordered the veggie tacos. I did order a side of bacon that never came out but it wasn’t a big deal for me. They get busy after 11:30AM. I’d definitely go back for a GF waffle!"

"I love Stacks, been here quite a few times, everyone is always so nice. Back in the 1960s, it used to be a place called Golden West Pancakes. The Redwood City location was the very first one. It opened in 1962 and served the community for many years. The building hasn’t changed structurally but has obviously been remodeled since Stacks opened here. Golden West Pancakes was a chain of restaurants that existed in the Bay Area from 1962 through the late 1990s."

"Omelettes omelettes omelettes, I loved their omelette menu. I always prefer omelettes when I do brunch and stacks topped with a taste of satisfaction. I also liked their shredded hash brown. While the smoothies were not for me, it just didn't really click very well but the food here was amazing. Service could have been faster (understandable as it's pretty filled most of the time). A review from a friend - waffles were okay, not so great."

"This is the first time eating at Stacks in Redwood City! I've been to Stack's in SF many years ago. There is a free parking lot with tight parking. I was able to find parking around 945am on a Saturday. There was out seating options but we ate inside. Service was prompt and excellent. The menu was extensive and lots of options for everyone with different dietary needs and restrictions. We ordered the Mexican omelet, sausage skillet, and two lattes. Everything came quickly and we found the portions generous. The food was tasty and not greasy. I recommend coming here for breakfast, brunch or lunch!"

"Returned to Stacks after being out of state for a few years. Not the same as I remembered. The food has significantly declined. The wife ordered a fruit crepe. The strawberries were not ripe, the crepe was rubbery and pineapple was advertised but not present. I ordered a veggie skillet with eggs over easy. The eggs were hard and the only apparent vegetable was broccoli. Maybe a mushroom was in there but not enough to be counted. Plus both dishes were on the cool side. Service was adequate. Not much energy was expended. I have to say that we were not ignored and the server did check on us a couple of times. The interior was grandmother's homey. Somewhat comfortable a little out of time."
