Stacks Pancake House - Newport Beach

I happened to stop by this restaurant on my way to Laguna Beach, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a fantastic spot for breakfast, featuring a wide variety of options on the menu. The service was prompt, and there was ample seating available. The food was delicious! I would definitely come back again.

Honestly, the food was somewhat bland and lacked flavor, even with the green salsa added. The salsa itself was mild and not very exciting. On the positive side, there are healthy options available on the menu. The service was commendable; our food was served quickly and hot.

Overall, the food is decent, but in all honesty, the hype and prices are too steep for what you get. We tried a variety of dishes, and while the waffles and pancakes were underwhelming, the French toast was acceptable, and the Hawaiian bread added a nice touch of sweetness. The eggs, although a bit greasy, were passable. The portion sizes were generous, but the taste and quality didn't quite match the price.

At first I wasn't in love with this place, because at the end of the day it's just overpriced pancakes, bad crepes, etc, but after a few times I found one specific order that I enjoyed (Oreo pancakes with white lava sauce and macadamia nuts) that was great. It only cost $18 though... You used to be able to ask for the white lava sauce on the side and get it for free, but now they just give a tiny portion. I would give

I’ve gone here countless times with family and friends. The food is great and enjoyed it each time. I would highly recommend their fruity pebbles French toast, Oreo pancakes with white lava sauce (customizable), and you can’t go wrong with their crepes. I wouldn’t recommend this spot if you’re vegan though. They have vegan options, but each time I’ve tried to order, they said they’re out of it, which was disappointing so never got around to trying it. If you don’t have diet restrictions, this place is great and delicious.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, but not vegan or other dietary restrictionsParking: Plenty of parking
