Stacks Pancake House - Mission Viejo, California

Enjoyed the Hawaiian menu options. The mac nut banana pancakes were delicious, had a nice crust on the outside and super light and fluffy. They had the bananas sliced in them. The avocado omelette was full of veggies with cheese on top and the lovely presentation of avocado fanned out. Loved the ube latte. Fried rice was tasty. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Everything came out quickly. Friendly staff.

Stopped in for lunch, friendly staff, clean dining area.
First, and this baffles me, a surcharge of $1.01, is added to the price of a breakfast meal, if you want pancakes.
PANCAKES ! Isn’t that the attraction of this business, it’s even in the name…..! Seems crazy.
I had the chorizo scramble, it was good, but the chorizo lacked any spice. The potatoes don’t appear to be freshly made (from frozen ?).
The decaf coffee was very good.
Prices were definitely on the higher side, considering it’s “fast casual”.

Stopped in the morning because I heard this is the spot for pancakes. As I stepped in it sounded like a party since the back kitchen had Latin melodies turn all the way up.
Service - not great. My food was delivered and the waiter was touching my pancakes with his thumb. Please train your staff better on handling food.

Food - pancakes were bland. It seem to have a strange taste at the beginning maybe the stove was not cleaned properly or cooked something before. Terrible after taste in my mouth after.

Overall - 3 stars
Repeat - no!

My friend raved about this place and so we arrived after we dropped off our glass window for Repair just up the street.

I never knew there was such a thing as liquid eggs. I’ve heard of powdered eggs before, but not liquid eggs.

My friend ordered ahead of me and when he placed his order, he asked the girl if he could have real eggs. What else would they serve? She acknowledged his request and placed his order with real eggs. Seriously?

I mean, I know we have an egg shortage, but liquid eggs? I was a little spooked by that. Had I not known that I would have received liquid eggs, I would not have asked for real eggs.

I have owned several restaurants before. I would’ve never served my customers liquid eggs, especially not as the default. I would serve my customers real eggs

No thanks. I’ll stick with Denny’s. At least I know I’ll get real eggs and won’t have to ask for them. Eeeewwwww!

I had an amazing brunch experience with Stacks Pancake House delivered right to my door! The waffles were incredibly delicious—perfectly cooked and beautifully paired with fresh strawberries and tastefully sweet cream. The syrup was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a delightful weekend brunch at home!

Amazing place for breakfast and lunch in Mission Viejo!! They have a couple of locations in Orange County, but the menu is mostly the same, with the exception of the specials. The specials are always really good

First time here. Had to stand in line to order food. We ordered coffee and it wasn’t brought out to us. We had to ask for it when they brought our food. My chorizo scramble was cold, dry, and bland. The coffee was average. We ordered water and never received any; we had to ask how to get it. Terrible service and food was just average. Nobody seemed to care to explain anything to us or ensure we got what we needed. Won’t come back, especially considering the high price.

Came for the aloha vibes and the ono grinds. Happy to have ordered the Portugee loco Moco and the green smoothie to balance out the sweet salty savory tastes. My loco came out perfect for my lunch and the drink was good just a bit too sweet for me. Other than that, a solid breakfast brunch lunch spot to spend time with friends and family.
