I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

A Friend and I ate here while on a mini vacation. The staff are very friendly and attractive to your needs. I had the raspberry stuffed French toast on Gluten Free bread. With a fruit bowl. My friend had the bacon avocado omelet with fried potatoes. The food was amazing! The flavor was spot on. I love food that had a lot of flavor . If you are in the area this restaurant is a must!

I wish I could remember her name who greeted us. The moment we walked in, she was so kind, very informative about the Gluten free/dairy free options. I will definitely be back; my son did not get sick so I definitely know there was no cross contamination and they took extra precaution. Thank you again for the wonderful service, food was amazing!!

Stacks Kitchen is a hidden gem that offers a delightful dining experience, blending comfort food with a modern twist. Located in a cozy corner of the city, the restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Food: 5/5 The menu at Stacks Kitchen is a creative fusion of classic and contemporary dishes. Their signature stacks-whether pancakes, waffles, or savory options--are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave satisfied. Standout dishes include the Red Velvet Pancakes, which are light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet, and the Chicken & Waffle Stack, which balances savory and sweet with a crispy, golden finish. For those with dietary preferences, they offer a variety of vegan and gluten-free options, all equally delicious. Service: 4.5/5 The staff at Stacks Kitchen are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They go out of their way to accommodate special requests and ensure a pleasant dining experience. The only minor drawback is that during peak hours, the service can slow down slightly, but the quality of the food more than makes up for the wait. **Ambiance: 4.5/5** The restaurant has a rustic yet modern vibe, with chic decor and comfortable seating. The open kitchen concept adds a lively touch, allowing diners to see the chefs at work. The lighting is warm, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment. However, the space can get a bit noisy when it's crowded, so it might not be ideal for those seeking a completely quiet meal. Value for Money: 4.5/5 While Stacks Kitchen is not the cheapest option, the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the dishes justify the price. The portions are large, and the flavors are memorable, making it a worthwhile dining experience. Overall: 4.75/5 Stacks Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and satisfying meal. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast, a decadent brunch, or a savory dinner, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

Amazing. I wish I could live here and just eat from the menu for the rest of my life. I was amazed by the all of the gluten free items. I had chicken and waffles for the first time ever and that hot honey sauce was so good. Next time we come to visit we’re going to book a room at the inn. Our awesome server told us breakfast is included with your stay! The inn is super cute and the restaurant is gorgeous. I love the look of the place, it’s so cozy. And the mimosas were so good! We will definitely be back!!

ordered gluten free toast with sausage. Both were cold - the butter didn't melt! French toast tasted stale. Had to ask twice for syrup. Split my husbands omelette since at least that was served fresh and hot. When I said something all I was was a sorry. Still had to pay for it! $47 dollars later what a waste!!!!
