EVERYTHING is great here, the red velvet pancakes are my FAVORITE. I hope they expand but stay in this neighborhood! -

Honestly, I just thought this place was okay.
I'm not really a fan of tight sitting quarters when I'm enjoying breakfast. Id much rather feel as though I can lounge, enjoy my coffee, and have a conversation that 20 other diners are privy to hearing. So, as for ambiance, I'd give the place a 1
The food was alright. Maybe I'm just partial to the places I've grown up with (The Egg and I, Blueberry Hill), but even still, I cant say the food is that great. The scrambled eggs had a very strange coconut flavor to them that caught me a bit off guard in a kind of unpleasant way. My pancakes tasted like, well, pancakes. Nothing I could not have gotten at IHOP (and I hate IHOP) Maybe I should have tried their famous Red Velvet pancakes, but not being a fan of anything Red Velvet, I didn't see how a pancake would possibly be so good as to change my mind.
The service was what one would expect in a busy breakfast joint with limited seating; nonexistent. I cant say they were rude, but nobody seemed to engage with us or give me any reason to feel welcomed. I felt as though I was being rushed out of my seat the moment the food was sat down on the table.
The only reason I cant give this place a much lower rating is because I'm sure there are people who love their famous Stack of RV, and because I didn't try it, I cant say the food is all that bad. Its just not my favorite. Coffee was great, and bacon was prepared perfectly. Had it have not been for the seating arrangement and the service I could have given this place a 4 star rating. It's just okay for me. -

I went here with one of my best friends the other week since she's been talking about it for quite some time now. I was visiting Vegas so I thought it would be good to try it out since I've heard so much about it.
I ended up ordering two items since we decided to share them both. I ordered the Huntington as well as the red velvet pancakes. The Huntington was a very tasty omelette that had the perfect mix of ingredients. The avocado on top was a nice touch as well.
The red velvet pancakes were delicious as well. I loved the fuchsia color that is used, which gives it a really nice appearance. They use cream cheese syrup that goes PERFECTLY with the meal. I think the red velvet pancakes are a must.
I'm excited to come back and try more things but the red velvet pancakes will always be ordered! -
Review from Christie O.

I've been hearing the buzz about BabyStacks forever, and hadn't checked it out because I'm not big on traditional breakfast food for breakfast and very rarely indulge in pancakes etc.
Today, I was driving around and saw that they are very close to my home in the old Becker's Steakhouse center. It was 1:30 and I walked in, was greeted and led to a table and told my server would be right with me.
A couple was enjoying huge platters of pancakes and what looked like French Toast nearby. The mood was livened by reggae music playing.
My trepidation about arriving 30 minutes prior to closing was alleviated straightaway by the cheerful server. She was more than happy to suggest the Turkey & Avocado sandwich when I said I was debating that or salad. I opted for the $1 add on fruit salad in lieu of a side salad whose dressings all sounded heavy to me, and I'm not sure if fries were an option, but I avoid them.
My sandwich was huge. Hard to get my mouth around huge. Thick slices of toasted wheat bread housed a generous portion of very good turkey, fresh avocado slices and tomatoes, and lots of iceberg. It was so large I took half to go along with half of my fruit salad which contained strawberries, melon, grapes, blueberries and pineapple. I made the oversight of failing to request mustard or to put mayo on the side, so it was contained quite a bit of mayo (unnecessary because the turkey was moist and avocado only added to that)
Chatted with some of the staff who were very sweet, and in no way felt rushed so close to closing time. I'll definitely be back to try some other items and bring my chocolate lover friends in for those red velvet pancakes. Some of the crepes and other pancakes sound promising.
There was cute and cheery decor and the place was clean and inviting. After reading of long lines, guess I lucked out taking a chance.
For 11$ + 5& tip because my waitress was just so sweet talking about explaining skype to her grandma in Hawaii, I enjoyed a lovely lunch & dinner later on.
Glad to have finally discovered this neighborhood gem and look forward to supporting a charming local business. -

BabyStacks Cafe is definitely on my list of favorite places in Vegas. Not only do they have great breakfast food, but the atmosphere inside is so relaxing. Upon walking in the first thing I heard was the local music playing in the background. I haven't heard any local music since I last visited Hawaii during the summer, so it was a very nice surprise.
The menu at BabyStacks Cafe definitely reflects that Hawaii feel as well. There are some great breakfast selections such as Portuguese sausage & eggs, Rick's adobo fried rice, and of course the pancakes. I decided to try the red velvet pancakes after reading many, many, many positive reviews off of yelp. I also ordered a side of seasoned potatoes because of my HUGE potato addiction.
The red velvet pancakes weren't disappointing at all. Keep in mind they are sweet though, so if you don't care for sweet tasting foods I would stay away from them. The red velvet pancakes are served with whipped cream, chocolate bits, and a side of cream cheese syrup. The combination of all of those toppings definitely leaves a heavenly taste in your mouth after every bite. The seasoned potatoes had the perfect amount of seasoning and wasn't overpowering at all. The texture of the potatoes was slightly crispy, which I enjoyed very much.
I definitely recommend that you try this place at least once. Be warned though, there is always a long wait to be seated. Also, the cafe is only open during select hours during the day, so be sure to double check those before heading out!Listed in: My Current Favorites

Tried it this morning and boy it was delicious!
I had the Wheat French Toast. I love the crunchy bite! A little hard to break apart, but good.
My love had your Red Velvet Pancakes and it was DIVINE! I had a bite, not going to lie haha. I think it tasted better without the chocolate toppings, but very good. I'll be back and I'll try some of your pancakes next time. -

Very, very good food. And very good service as well. We arrived at 10am on a weekday morning, 1/2 hour wait. No problem, but the food better be good.....
It was! The pancakes were fluffy and rich. Chicken fried steak was good, but not memorable. Biscuits and gravy were also good with a nice consistency to the gravy.
My first exposure to Southern cuisine was Cajun influenced, so nothing quite comes close to the flavor/spice explosion of Cajun. But overall a very good breakfast and we look forward to coming back and exploring the menu some more. Love the Reggae in the morning. -

We'd passed this place at least a dozen times and always remarked how we should try it -- and finally we did on Easter weekend. It was much smaller than we thought inside -- but not too crowded. Cozy, I'd call it. But there are no booths, it's all table seating.
The staff was really nice and attentive as they could be considering it was pretty busy. We walked in around 10:30 on a Saturday morning, but we must've gotten lucky, because despite her saying it would be 20-25 minutes, we were seated within 5 minutes. Not too shabby.
I ordered the Mexican Omelette with buttermilk pancakes instead of toast. The omelette was delicious -- could've been a little spicier or maybe had another elements, like pico de gallo, but I just hit it with some Tabasco and all was well. Delicious carnitas, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos and topped with sour cream. Yum. I'd order it again, for sure.
I'm kind of picky about my pancakes. So many places make them heavy or dense or way, way, WAY too big. I don't need silver dollars, but I prefer them smaller than my face. These are the exact right size, especially to accompany eggs.
I wanted to try the red velvet pancakes everyone raves about. The guy at the table across from us ordered them and they looked amazing. Babystacks lets you get a specialty pancake instead of just buttermilk in lieu of toast, but I figured if this is a breakfast joint that specializes in pancakes, I should start with the basics. If their buttermilk pancakes are good, the rest probably are, too. And they were good! I ate them both and ended up bringing home most of my omelette.
Next time, I'd like to try the lemon ricotta stacks or the red velvet. There are really so many to choose from, though i'm not much of a dessert-for-breakfast type of girl, so I likely won't try them all.
But I'll definitely be back -- it was comparably priced with places like Cracked Egg just up the street. And while I love Cracked Egg, Babystacks will provide a nice alternative, especially when I really want pancakes. -

Went to this place after reading it was great thanks yelpers it was. My boys had the red velvet pancakes and in short imagine a personal cake for breakfast some of the best pancakes I tasted and even better cold leftovers. I had the biscuits and gravy not the best I ever had but not to far from the best. Defenitely had a homemade feel all around. Looking forward to going back and trying seething else from there

I'm so in love with this place! As soon as I walked inside I was greeted with a happy face and that happy theme followed thru out my meal. I ordered the Huntington omlete with a upgraded side of the beloved red velvet pancakes. Simply divine :-)
The place has a strong Hawaiian theme and feeling, from the decor, music and most important the food :-) I felt relaxed and laid back, very Hawaiian style. Our waitress even told us to buy the Groupon deal before we paid our bill. Who does that?? Seriously that was awesome and we saved a bunch of money! This is now my new breakfast spot :-) Next on my list is to try the banana cream pancakes :-) -

LOVED IT! We had a group of 8 and were seated pretty much immediately, great service, fast, efficient and very friendly!
Our waitress took our order and asked if no one was going to try the red velvet pancakes, so we had her bring an order (short stack was plenty!) to share. They were AH MAY ZING! My S.O. loved the omelet, and I had the Cinabon pancakes, everything was fresh and very good. Coffee was strong and good, too.
I was so disappointed with all my meals in Vegas except this one!
Will definitely go back, it was very much worth the trip. -

I had a friend recommend this place the next time I went to Vegas and I am so glad I did. My wife had the red velvet, my daughter had the carrot cake pancakes. I had the Huntington omelette. We shared off of each others plates. I truly feel this was the best breakfast ever. The restaurant is small and there can be a wait. We went at around 10:30am on a Thursday and just missed a rush. It was the perfect meal before heading back to SoCal.

I LOVE THIS PLACE.
My favorite meal is the Hungington Omelette and the Red Velvet pancakes (of course). I swear they get their eggs from some super secret chicken farm in Narnia or something because their omelettes and skillets and spam and eggs are delicious.
By the way, LOVE that they serve spam and eggs. Brings me back home so it's really nice. And their seasoned potatoes are out of this world.
I don't really feel like I need to say anything about the red velvet pancakes, just walk in and look at all the articles on the wall.
The staff is great. It helps that I discovered a long lost friend works there. They're really prompt and friendly and I enjoy very muching eating there.
I could have brunch there every single day. I may suit up for it next time. -
Review from Anita C.
It seems like they changed their name from BabyCakes to BabyStacks, I guess to emphasize their pancakes...
We were a party of 3 that waited about 30 mins when we arrived at noon.
I ordered ham and eggs with hash browns and s'mores pancakes.
My mom ordered eggs with seasoned potatoes and regular pancakes and my sister ordered the red velvet pancakes.
My over-easy eggs were made to perfection, 3 nice strips of ham steak was grilled and not overly salty, hash browns were ok - ketchup had to give it a boost and my s'mores pancakes were disappointing. I was expecting something that was going to make my tastes buds happy and go "mmmmmmm" like how a s'more usually does... but that moment did not come.
My mom's seasoned potatoes had no flavor.
My sister's red velvet pancakes were a big flop; it was super bright in color (too much food coloring) and very lacking in flavor, if I was blindfolded, I would not have thought it was red velvet. I guess I'm a little spoiled with red velvet pancakes from Cinnamon's out in Kailua, Hawaii - which is melt in your mouth chocolate heaven!
I really wanted to like this place but it's just all hype - I'll wait until I go back to O'ahu to get some real red velvet pancakes, I'm going to bring my sister next time she's there so she will know what I'm talkin' about. -

I am a fitness professional and fitness model and this place makes it very hard to stay on my diet.... the red velvet pancakes are the best. As is the buttermilk bacon pancakes. They actually pour the batter right on top of freshly broken up pieces of real breakfast bacon then slap it on your plate with a smile... makes me smile too ! !

First let's start with the place being not so clean. Filth coming down the TV, Air Vents, and tile that goes around the floor. The butterfly's that are on the wall are covered with dust. All that is needed is a quick clean. But the food is great and so is the service. So please guys clean the place up....

Review from Lisa D.
Oh what a breakfast! If you haven't eaten here, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. There is always a wait as the restaurant is pretty small, but if you're a party of two, it seems easier to be seated quickly. Be prepared, though, you may be sitting REALLY close to people at the next table. I hate this, but for such an awesome breakfast, I'll sacrifice.
I am not a pancake eater- I'm an egg & meat lover, but I just *had* to try the red velvet stacks. BabyStacks allows you to add their specialty stacks to your egg order, so I ordered a skillet (always my breakfast favorite) and added the red velvet pancakes.
The red velvet pancakes are not too thick, not too thin, sprinkled with mini chocolate chips and a generous dollop of whipped cream. The cream cheese syrup is to die for - it just totally reminds me Nothing Bundt Cake frosting! It's like eating chocolate cake for breakfast, which may gross some people out, but for a chocolate lover it's sinfully delightful.
The skillet was one of the better skillets I've had in Vegas. They layer potatoes, cheese, and any omelet choices and top them off with eggs any style. I ordered my skillet with onion, tomaotes, spinach, cheddar cheese and sausage. It was gigantic, could barely finish half, but so full of flavor. The tomatoes were very sweet - just the way I like them.
Next trip: carrot cakes with cream cheese syrup!Listed in: Sunny Side Up!

I drive by here a lot but I never really wanted to eat here. But, when my mom came to town she kept noticing the sign whenever we drove by. She thought the girl on the sign was cute and she also thought it looked like Heidi from the classic Japanese series: "The Girl of the Alps". So after seeing that, she really wanted to eat here.
I really think that BabyStacks is one of those places that could be the next Starbucks... What I mean is that if they tried to franchise and expand, we could be seeing one of these BabyStacks locations in just about every shopping center. They should try to expand to California or something..
I am a big fan of those Hawaiian-Filipino style pancakes. They are pretty hard to find on the mainland(outside Hawaii). So I was very happy to find out that they had one of these places only walking distance from where I live. I was not disappointed when I showed up. The pancakes here are almost identical to the type I used to get when I go to the Filipino breakfast restaurants in Hawaii.
The country gravy here is the best I have ever had. It's not that canned stuff, they make there own gravy here with bacon, milk, and flour. The biscuits & gravy and the chicken fried steak are the best things they got here.
The customer service is superb. They got very social and friendly workers here.
The only problem I have with this place is that they don't open for dinner. I'd be here almost every night if they opened late.
Also want to address Kevin A's review of this place. His profile is here: http://www.yelp.com/us...
If it isn't annoying enough that he runs around and gives every single local restaurant in the summerlin/north west area a 1-star rating, claiming they have "bugs" and "insects"... he gave this place one star because he didn't like that there were "too many Asian's here". And according to this profile the dumbass is married to a mail order Filipino woman...what a loser! Get the F*ck out!
5-Stars to BabyStacks. It's the best Filipino-American restaurant around. It's so good, I'd even recommend it to the King of the Philippines(aka Manny Pacquaio) if by some chance I ever met him. -

Sometimes I wish I lived in Las Vegas just so I could come here for breakfast regularly. Keep in mind this place is off strip so you need to drive, but the menu and prices are awesome! Also, be prepared for a wait and keep in mind it's easier to get a table for 2 than for a larger group.
My two favorite dishes are the red velvet pancakes and the adobo fried rice. I've tried other pancakes here, but the red velvet are the best BY FAR. They even come with a side of cream cheese syrup. It's like having dessert for breakfast! The adobo fried rice comes wrapped in an omelet and is awesome!
I've also tried the spinach eggs benedict which is very tasty. It comes with a side of buttery hash browns. I will definitely be tryng the kalua pork benedict next time. The spam scramble sounded interesting, but was nothing special. The french toast is also not very good. Take my advice and try my two favorite dishes to make the trip worth it.Listed in: Best Thing(s) I Ever Ate

Be prepared for the wait (it was over 20 minutes at 11:30 on a Sunday) but IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! I have been determined to go here after receiving several recommendations and reading reviews. Baby Stacks lives up to all the promises previous patrons have described.
Realize the name has changed from Baby Cakes to Baby Stacks. We made that mistake and ended up at in Henderson at a bakery inside the M resort.
The red velvet pancakes were worth the wait and worth going back for. -

If not for the desert mountains surrounding me, I would have thought I was back on vacation in Kapaa.
I'm sensing a recurring theme here, with Hawaiian food in the desert. I'm not mad about it. I'm just jealous, that's all.
There was about a 20 minute wait at 10am on a Friday. This place was packed! That didn't change during our whole meal, people eat, people leave, more people sit and more people eat. I think we got here at the right time, because it seemed like the people who came after we got seated had a longer wait time. This isn't a big place, maybe one day, they'll expand. Anyways.....
I've been terrible at deciding lately, but I suppose it's just a Vegas thing. Too much looks good, and there's not enough space in my body. I was torn between the Spam scramble with rice and mac salad, and the Ricks adobo fried rice omelet....What to choose?!? Lucky for me, my mother-in-law ordered the adobo fried rice, and I was able to get the Spam scramble, but I changed out my white rice for garlic fried rice, of course!
So the Spam gets diced and thrown in with eggs and cooked on the flattop, and left a teensy bit runny, and while that would have been just gravy, they went and sprinkled Furikake on it! It kinda seems to lift everything it gets put on, that Furikake. Next time, I'm going to put it on my frozen yogurt and make it 10x better. The only thing that kind of turned me off to my breakfast was my rice, because the garlic and onion were both slightly raw. Is that a Hawaiian thing? I've just never had it that way, and when I cook, I make the garlic kind of crispy and dice and saute the onions so they're less noticeable, , but it wasn't that bad due to my LOVE of garlic and onion, even if it was a bit undercooked. The Mac salad, al dente noodles with subtle flavored dressing, I don't know anyone that LURVES mac salad, I certainly don't hate it. I hate half because I was saving room for....wait for it......
Adobo fried rice omelet!
I'm from that school of eating that loves to cut their food up into little pieces, mix it all together and eat it with a spoon, and adobo and rice? Certainly falls into the category of foods that take well to being mangled like that. I just wish it was Pork Adobo instead of chicken. But I suppose if I'm going to gain a pound a day every time I'm in Vegas, I should do it healthier right?
The adobo fried rice omelet, so wrong yet so right! Soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, shredded meat and rice all wrapped up in egg and sprinkled with green onions? Done improperly, this could be about the worst garbage ass omelet in the history of man, but in the magic hands of the chef at Baby Stacks, it turns into a culinary masterpiece! Just don't be afraid to destroy the art, it can't stay beautiful forever.
Good coffee, great food, a bit on the small side, but a great place to start your day. Just don't forget to get portuguese sausage like I did. I guess I have another reason to make my way back to BabyStacks.Listed in: Vegas, Baby!

Okay okay I'll write more. The service is good and the food came out pretty fast. My gf had the Huntington Omelet(bacon,chedder,green peppers) avocado and salsa. Came w/pancakes and seasoned potatoes. Her dad had the pork adobo fried rice omelet. Both were good but not as good as my red velvet pancakes!!!! Worth the drive just for that! -

OMG. That was amazing! I got the Huntington Skillet, and added cilantro and sour cream. It was such an amazing breakfast, that I can't wait to dig into the leftovers! I got my skillet with a side of the red velvet pancakes, which were very good, as every one says. BUT. My son got the banana cream pancakes, which tasted exactly like taking a bite of a banana cream pie! (Note I said a bite - that was all my son would let me have!) I will definitely go there again, but next time, I may do carryout - it was a 45 minute wait to eat in. Well worth it, but still... I live close enough that carryout might be a better option for me!

This place is about a 20 min drive from the strip, but I enjoyed having brunch here on a Saturday afternoon! The wait was 20 min around 11, fyi.
Yes, of course we had to try the red velvet chocolate chip pancakes, which were sweet and delicious. The short stack split amongst 3 people (1 pancake per person) was enough for us, since it was THAT sweet!
The spinach eggs benedict were delicious, as well as the turkey avocado sandwich (tasted quite healthy and fresh!). This place is decorated with huge butterflies hung on the walls, cute quotes (live, laugh, love) and seats about 40 people. I dig it! -

So I finally tried this place out! It has been on my list forever and finally woke up early and drove over. Reading reviews I know the place is small and gets busy so I got there right at 7am on a Saturday. I was the second group to be seated. Within 30 minutes the whole place was filled up and a line was forming. I was shocked on how fast that happened.
Since I really came for the red velvet pancakes, that's what I ordered, short stack and a side of sausage patties. The RV pancakes were delicious and so filling!!! I wasn't to fond of syrup stuff they give, its just to sweet for me. I mean the whole platter is a sugar high but I just couldn't do the syrup. I would rather have regular syrup, next time. The pancakes were good enough that really the syrup wasn't needed. I only hate half the pancakes and took the rest home. Seriously the short stack was just to much, haha. The sausage patties were really good and I enjoyed them.
The service was great and they were on top of checking up on me, filling my water, etc... I definitely want to come back again and try some of the other stuff on the menu. I do know though, its a place to get to first thing because I am hungry when I wake up and get grumpy without food, haha. -

Since when have they been called baby stacks? In any case, it is still one of the best morning cafés I have been to in Nevada. My cousin and I went at about eight in the morning on a Sunday. We really thought that it would be completely packed, but we lucked out and there were still quite a few seats available.
Again I ordered the red velvet pancakes, and it was delicious. I also had a spam and egg contraption that was quite filling, though I can't remember exactly what it was called.
Like I said before, you can't go wrong with anything you pick off the menu!Listed in: VEGAS!

Babystacks is a pretty solid breakfast place. I ordered the huevos rancheros with green chile sauce. It was pretty tasty, but not quite spicy enough for me. The waiter said that the green chile sauce is the spicier of the two, but I think next time I'll go with the red sauce. I got hash browns with my meal, which were AMAZING!! Really, some of the best hash browns I've had.
My girlfriend ordered the red velvet pancakes. She enjoyed them quite a bit. I'm not much of a cake person, but they were pretty good. It was like eating cake for breakfast - which is something I always looked forward to as a kid after a birthday party. I couldn't see myself eating a whole meal, but the few bites I had sure were tasty.
We also ordered the adobo fried rice with the intention of taking it to go. We didn't realize that it was an omelette with fried rice in it. We apparently didn't read the menu very well since it says that it's adobo fried rice wrapped in an egg. I guess I just assumed that most fried rice has egg bits in it and didn't think that it would be an omelette. Pretty interesting take on fried rice. It was pretty good, too. It didn't really have much of the adobo flavor I'm used to, but I liked it.
Overall, Babystacks is good. The service was great and the staff members were very friendly. I've been wanting to try it for a while now and I'm glad I did. I'll definitely be back. -

This place is a bit Over Rated. My boyfriend and I drove across town to check out this new popular spot but i must say the "red velvet pancakes" are not,.. my faves. lets just leave it as that. If you eat that thing with no icing, theres no taste.
Anyways, on to the positive aspects. The place is nice and homely filled with welcoming services and a great variety of choices (especially for those asian/filipino people and their type of breakfast with rice and spam.. etc). I ordered a crunchy whole grain french toast and i must say i was very surprised how good it was! it seems very simple, a french toast covered in crunchy corn flakes, but it was so yummy and good looking, the people next to me ordered it too and loved it! My boyfriend got an veggie omlete and the red velvet pancakes as the side so we can both try. Overall this place was good but I wouldn't drive all the way across town to come eat again, sorry! -

I made it a point to visit this location after reading the reviews and making a bookmark. I was not disappointed. The service and meal was excellent. I had the eggs and whole wheat pancakes with turkey bacon.
4 stars because it was s packed it was difficult to relax and enjoy a breakfast meeting over coffee. Felt a little rushed and there was a long line waiting for tables... This is good because it shows how great the place is... Also how quick the meal is prepared. But $30.00 for meal, coffee and tip... I want to sit and hang out for longer than 20 minutes. -

Definitely a MUST TRY breakfast spot when visiting Vegas! I have been hearing about the red velvet pancakes and finally went to try them out myself. Friday morning we had a table of about 10 and waited almost an hour for a table, but it was so worth it!! If you come with a big group, best go as early as possible!
Out of the dishes we ordered, I tasted: red velvet pancakes, adobo fried rice omelet, and the loco moco. The pancakes were so much better than I expected them to be! I'm really not a fan of pancakes but the red velvet ones were super delicious! And they're not topped with butter; they're topped with a cream cheese syrup and chocolate chips. Loco moco was really good and I absolutely loved the adobo fried rice. Prolly gained 5lbs while eating there but I will def want to come back the next time I'm in Vegas -

I wish there was a place like this in So Cal! My husband and I were in Vegas and on the way to Death Valley. We wanted to find a GOOD breakfast spot that wasn't a buffet or touristy place on the strip. We found this place on Yelp and were lured in by the red velvet pancakes and eggs benedicts.
We got there at about 10:30 am on a Friday morning and waited about 20 minutes for a table. I noticed that the menu and the music (island reggae) in the restaurant has a Hawaiian theme. I saw Kahlua pig and Loco Moco on the menu - and they're particularly Hawaiian food.
I ordered the Kahlua pig eggs benedict, and my husband ordered the country benedict. We ordered a half stack of red velvet pancakes, which ended up arriving a bit before our two plates.
I'm actually not a big fan of pancakes, but I ate those pancakes like a starved person! I loved that they were soft and moist and tasted like what I hoped red velvet pancakes would taste like - and not like I was eating a overly sweet cake like I was afraid I might be. But like red velvet cake or cupcakes, it's more about the soft and moist texture along with what makes the cake - the cream cheese frosting. The cream cheese frosting/syrup wasn't too sweet and pour out on the pancakes about the consistency of ranch salad dressing. The little chocolate chips sprinkled on top were definitely made the pancakes irresistible.
As for the Kahlua benedict, they were good but not great. When in Hawaii, Kahlua pig is one of my favorite things to eat. Even living in So Cal, I've never found any Hawaiian place that has ever done Kahlua pig the way it's done in Hawaii. Carnitas at some authentic Mexican restaurants are probably the closest, but still not the same. I was a bit disappointed with my benedicts since they also had a lot of cabbage in them, giving the Kahlua pig a slight bitter taste rather than the juicy pig taste I was hoping for. The Kahlua pig tasted pretty bland otherwise, and was a bit soggy rather than meaty like I hoped.
As for my husband's country benedict, it tasted I guess as it should - like country fried steak with eggs.
As for the hash browns (I didn't wanna risk ordering the potatoes, since I've rarely found a restaurant that did breakfast potatoes well), they were perfect. It was fried to a perfect crispiness on one side and moist and potatoey on the inside. These were probably some of the best hash browns I've ever had!
Overall, I really enjoyed this place and would definitely make the 20 min trip off the strip to go there again next time I'm in Vegas. I'm certain a breakfast place like this would do really well in So Cal. :) -

Filipino/Hawaiian/American-inspired breakfast cafe near Summerlin.
Damn, why couldn't this place have been here when we lived in the area?
Killer tried out the Chicken Adobo fried rice - I wasn't expecting it be wrapped in a scrambled egg, that was a nice touch and turned it into a full-blown Filipino breakfast in one shot. Nice.
I went with the Kalua Pork Benedict and it was surprisingly good. Kalua pork is usually super salty, but B-Stacks' wasn't. not bad at all.
Service was very friendly and attentive and you can tell this place is a local favorite by how packed it was so early in the morning.
Def going to need a re-visit the next time I get my arm twisted to go to Sin City
