“I had the best experience at Stacked this morning! I came with my family for an annual trip to the Falls and this year we decided to come to Stacked for breakfast. We were greeted with exceptionally fast service as we got seated at our table swiftly after we entered. We got settled and our lovely server M.J met us with a smile! As someone with celiac, it's hard to find a place that understands my dietary restrictions, but M.J made sure that everything that was ordered was safe for me to eat. She kept checking in on us during our entire meal and the food came very fast! Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, M.J still made time to consistently offer us the best service with a smile and lots of care! My family will definitely be adding a visit to Stacked to our annual visit! Thank you M.J and Staff for making this experience so special!“

“My partner and I have been coming to this IHOP every weekend for about a month now, and we always have a great experience! This weekend our server, Brittney, was especially wonderful — super friendly, took the time to chat with us, and even gave us a nice local discount when she found out we’re from the area. The food is always great, and I can’t get enough of the tres leches pancakes.“

“Had a very good all you can eat buffet breakfast with a good selection of hot and cold dishes and plenty of juices.
Our waitress name Suzanne, was very pleasant and very helpful.

Not the cheapest breakfast you can get but for all you can eat its worth it.

Some good views overlooking the falls.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, and they let my wife put her scooter close to us so we could keep an eye on it“
