Stacks' has some nice attributes -- pitchers of water automatically on the table when you get there ; if one person orders iced tea they get a pitcher (and the kids were able to share), but is in no way worth the huge lines on the weekends.
We used to go about 5 years ago when my DH worked nearby and I was always unimpressed. Their food struck me as bland.
A friend suggested we try it again and I was game. After all, I didn't hate it before, it was just okay. It is still just okay.
They have one nice kids meal -- grilled cheese and fruit. The rest weren't that exciting.
I had a hamburger which was fine. It comes with "salad", fruit and hash browns. The hash browns were okay but I could have lived without them. The fruit was very small.
All in all, an okay experience. I've had better, I've had worse.
