Feedback
I went to eat breakfast and everything was wonderful and friendly service. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian omelet. Kid-friendliness: They help with the menu.
Wheelchair accessibility: Dang it! I wasted time trying to get into Short Stacks. Although I was told they had a ramp in front of the restaurant to enter on in, there’s NO CHANCE of trying to navigate the old doors and tight turning entry area. That’s if you can get over an uneven step that’s too high up for a wheelchair to be tilted over… After getting out of my chair and ‘carried’ inside to a table near the entry area. I found out the restroom was in the back and I could see there was NO path available using a wheelchair. You can remove the wheelchair accessible standing that you obliviously appointed to your restaurant. You’re restaurant IS NOT accessible. I had to get help leaving without trying the menu. My family was to gather here and we cancelled! Time wasting when time is everything now.
My husband and I ate here recently. We were seated immediately upon entry, and we seemingly arrived at just the right time. This place was incredibly busy, and for good reason! The food (and coffee) was fantastic, as was the service! The atmosphere was light but bustling and fun. I'm sure we will be back if we're in the area again!
Nice little diner in the heart of Algonquin. Parking: Parking on 31 can be busy.
My wife loves coming here. She says they have the best gluten free pancakes, and she's tried them from several places. It's a small breakfast/brunch diner, with friendly staff and great food. They also offer free range eggs from All Grass Farms, which is less than 10 minutes away.
