You guys need to seriously consider having some kind of delivery service, even if its thru "Grub Hub", or Uber Eats. Your food there is great, and I really believe that if you did decide to go thru grub Hub, or Uber Eats, you'd get buissness.

Cognizant of the tipping issue (will come back to that), deciding not to grow ones business due to the tipping issue seems at least short sighted. The waiters and servers for the most part play a different role in this process - they will most likely do very little relative to visiting each table in a diner for example. The chefs and food preparers would be the most impacted, and yet many companies are using GrubHub and Uber EATS and have overcome what doesnt seem like a “hard problem” to solve. Its solvable. I cannot see why business expansion would be a “bad idea”. It doesnt feel like it requires a passionate political call to arms over communities coming together to battle BigCorp. See opportunity, not negativity and “bad” ideas. If an endeavor is done from a grounded, ethical moral/value system of the proprietor, something as simple as offering a delivery service could be a nice tipping point.

Short Stacks provides a simple, clean, hometown eating experience. Hannah, Kirsten, and all the crew are friendly, efficient, and attentive to your needs. The food is flavorful including the option for local grass fed organic eggs. I enjoy the community counter experience. Love this place!

I love this place! Feels like a country diner with decor to match. Friendly staff, delicious food, and generous portions. I had the eggs, hashbrowns, and biscuits & gravy. My wife had a croussaint with egg, bacon, and avocado, which I tried and liked as well. I'll be back soon.

Have to be honest here. Looked cute, but also didn't really look very clean (very water damaged and dirty ceiling tiles, dusty vents, etc) and the ingredients were very sub par for what they charge. Tasteless potatoes, iceberg lettuce, store bought croutons, no parm on a Caesar Salad? The french toast tasted like other food, which makes me think the griddle isn't cleaned. Lemonade was fountain and extremely water downed. Wanted to like it, but sadly, won't go back. For 30 bucks I could have had a good meal with quality ingredients.

My daughter ordered Country Fried chicken and I ordered extra crispy corned beef hash, egg over hard and side of pancake. They delivered my food exactly how I ordered it. Very good pancakes. Everything's good. Highly recommended. On top of that you're patronizing a small local business.

Good breakfast, friendly server. Had corned beef hash skillet, with eggs and hash browns. Why is it that many restaurants serve hash browns with corned beef hash when there is enough potatoes in the hash?

We are in Algonquin about two times every year and we always go to Short Stacks every time we're in the area. They are great at handling our extended family of a dozen and the food is very good. My wife gets the Luke's breakfast sandwich every time, while I tend to try different things. Had the Fiesta Skillet today and it had the perfect amount of heat, balanced by the cheese and the avocado. With pancakes, of course!

Awe Bella’s.........what can one say about a perfectly quaint little diner in town, other than the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the wait staff is pleasant. Stop here for a fantastic breakfast, served like any good diner should with hash browns. I recommend the Belt Buster- eggs as you like- bacon or sausage (links or patties) hash browns and your choice- pancakes or toast. What more could you want for breakfast, other than waffles or crepes and they have those too!

My husband and I have been coming to Short Stack’s restaurant for five years now. We have never been disappointed in their food, service, or they’re friendly atmosphere. The waitresses are always friendly. Even during this pandemic, we still order pick up breakfast. My hands down favorite are the pancakes. Delicious!

Food was OK. Waitress had to be constantly reminded to bring stuff out more than once and forgot to fill drinks. Waited an hour to get 3 skillets. Won't be going here ever again.
