Stacks Pancake House

This place is the bomb dot com! There are two locations in Southern Orange County... in Mission Viejo and Dana Point.

This breakfast spot that is delicious enough to wake up early on a weekend and get out of bed on a cold morning for. And so will many others... You will be able to see a line of locals peeking from the door. Don't be afraid of the long line because this is due to lag of ordering and 1 cash register, there are actually a lot of seats inside.  This is a casual "pay first, then grab seats"... they give you a # which u bring to your table.  TIP: if you come with 2 or more people, 1 person can order and another person can find a table.

Things tried in my first visit:

Loco Moco - comes with Portuguese sausage, two eggs, fried rice (

Side of breakfast potatoes

There are a lot of great sweet (e.g. Macadamia pancakes, waffles) and savory (e.g. Loco moco, omelettes) options. Ordered the loco moco (comes with Portuguese sausage, egg, fried rice), Kailua pork omelette (comes with side of stack of 3 pancakes), and a side of potatoes... Recommend!

Stack of 3 pancakes - comes with omelette

Kailua pork omelette

Great prices, large portions, and friendly atmosphere... Definitely will be back to try the other options, especially the famous banana macadamia nut pancakes and kalbi plate!
