Stacks

Stacks

Burlingame, CA

A popular old fashioned American breakfast establishment in the Bay area.  My friend I.W. and I decided to check this place out on a random late Saturday morning. 

We heard that they offer coffee and tea to patrons while they wait outside.  To our surprise, there was no line when we arrived, so we couldn't get to experience that.

Old-Fashioned Belgian Waffles

Chocolate Divine  

  Filled with semi-sweet chocolate chips, topped with fresh whipped cream & ground Ghirardelli chocolate

~

Eggs Florentine  

  Two poached eggs, smoked ham, spinach on an English muffin, topped with hollandaise sauce and added mushrooms; served with Stacks potatoes & fresh fruit

Overall,  we believe it's an over-hyped restaurant.  It is a bargain for your dollar with attentive wait service and energetic crowd.  Large portions too, but we've had better belgian waffles.   The eggs florentine on the other hand was better. Cute presentation with the right amount of mushrooms, ham and sauce giving the perfect balance of flavor.
