Was Garret Swift at Short Stack Eatery a mag?
Went to stacks for brunch with my wife and two other couples. Almost everyone ordered the trio(pick three items out of list). I ended up picking out four items: eggs, a blueberry pancake short stack, potatoes and bacon. This time we got a booth and the service was fast and enjoyable. I will go back again and again. I just love this place. View all feedback.
What ming fraser dislikes about Short Stack Eatery:
It 's fine. Kinda overrated, but I mostly go for the blind special. It 's usually very good, but sometimes it 's a waffle. You 're allowed to ask if it 's sweet or savory without the price jump on asking what the blind is. I still remember the whole McDonald 's is why our prices are so high which is a bit of a reason to make me not want to go here View all feedback.
We've been to Short Stack previously and really enjoyed it. That's why when our friend was in town and wanted to go out for breakfast, we took her to Short Stack. It was a Friday morning @9:00. They place is quirky and fun. The tables are glass w/old post-cards and envelopes under the glass. Mason jars and whisks have been refurbished into lamps and chandeliers. Great atmosphere. We ordered at the counter and then took a seat in the window. Although busy, it was not particularly crowded and our food arrived within a reasonable time-frame. Everything looked amazing. My dining companions ordered the breakfast sandwich and a skillet and really enjoyed them. My food however was not so good. I ordered the Cajun biscuits and gravy and poached eggs. The Cajun gravy was quite tasty but the biscuit was bone-dry and rock-hard. Even using a knife it was tough sawing through the biscuit. Worse, was the poached eggs. Although very pretty, served snow white in a sundae glass, they were hard-boiled inside. I'm not talking slightly overcooked, these were hard-boiled eggs inside. Completely solid. I know poached eggs can be tricky to cook, but this was ridiculous. So, a couple of dishes were off, not the end of the world. But the service was also really disappointing. Literally we were completely done eating and nearly ready to leave before anyone came back to our table to ask how it was. I think the only reason she came back was to clear the dishes. I mentioned the eggs and she said she'd mention it to the cooks. Since she could actually see the hard-boiled yolks left in the dish, I thought she should offer to provide new ones. She didn't and I wouldn't have taken her up on it anyway since we were already done eating, but again I felt like it would have been appropriate for her to offer. She also finally asked if I wanted a refill on my ice-tea which I did since it had been almost empty when the food first arrived. Just checking on us 20 minutes earlier would have been better. We have had good food and service there previously. My companions enjoyed their food today, but this was a very disappointing experience for me.

My husband and I came here during the summer and let me just say, we were both blow away. Everyone was so kind. From the gal at the register, to the person bringing us our food. The food, was phenomenal! We had the sweet potato pancakes. Which were perfect! Not too sweet, but just right. My husband had the corn beef hash, that was amazing! Our meal was SO good. My husband stopped by the kitchen and thanked one of the owner’s herself. I still dream of this breakfast. It’s delicious!! If you visit state street, please stop here for breakfast! You won’t regret it
Good atmosphere. The food is not super amazing. Pancake was decent though.
