BabyStacks Cafe - Spring Mountain — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Man I'm really conflicted, I dont want to be harsh but there was a few issues. The place was hard to see from the road as it's covered by some architecture so we did the run around and it was on the side of the building. This is not really a con just some information. When we got in it was just starting to pick up and in time it got really busy. Our server was the only person serving for some time so it took a while to get both the order taken, and actually getting our food. They seemed quite understaffed. That translated to the server being what I felt was short when taking the order, so much so he talked over me when I asked to get the hash browns extra crispy. This leads to the food. We got the bacon, eggs and hash. The bacon and eggs were great but the hashrowns were awful, like literally only cooked on the top side. No salt, no flavor and undercooked. Maybe it was the rush to get the food out with the full restaurant. That aside my water was empty almost my entire sit down sadly but I get it as a few guys showed up later to help and I finally got my refill as I was getting ready to pay. I will say we got the banana foster and the banana cream pie pancakes and they were absolutely phenomenal. This is my conflict as the service seemed rushy, cold and short but the food was overall good. I know it's just short staffing as it seems they have been getting more popular so I wouldn't let my singular experience turn you away, I just hope they do better for...

Red Velvet Pancakes: Fluffy great taste, cream has an ice cream texture to it, hit it with a nice sweet glaze on top it’s a “Must Try” -Ranchero Omelette: it’s stuffed with a green pepper, chicken, cheese and smothered with green chili sauce which has the right amount of heat with home potatoes that were cooked just right and not hard or dry. -Club Sandwich: American Cheese 🧀, packed with Turkey, ham, fresh vegetables and crispy bacon on white bread with seasoned fries 🍟. -Country Benedict: is just a biscuits and gravy style with eggs poach on top but eggs were fully cooked and not poached. Not too crazy about it. -Mushroom & Swiss Burger: Nothing special about it mushroom taste was dull would’ve love if they’d were season and some sautéed onions with it. Restrooms were clean so that means kitchen is clean Server was nice Bill was $66.79 with no fountain drinks

CONS Place is super small so if you’re hungry or about to get hungry and have a party of 4 for sure 5 and up prepare yourself. I was party of 6 they told 30 min wait it ended up being an hour and 14 minutes to be seated and 40-50 minutes to receive my food. If you’re a party a 4 or less for sure 2 will be seated faster and before other parties. Place is Small so might sit with other parties as tables are connected They...

Food was good. Pancakes tasted more like cake not the traditional pancake which isn’t bad but if you’re expecting traditional pancakes you won’t get that here.

Overall we had a mixed experience. The food was good but my major complaint was that when I asked for a recommendation and took the waiters recommendation the extra charges to make it the way he recommended was an extra ~$12 (found out after getting bill at the end) which was crazy because that’s about the price of a plate. So was pretty disappointed he didn’t give me a heads up that the price was that much higher! I would’ve been fine $2-3 but $12 is crazy and at that much of an increase I could’ve gotten more pancakes to try or another plate instead.

Looking back, I know I probably should have asked if there was an extra charge but I didn’t think it would be that much. That really soured my experience here and is the biggest reason I won’t be back. But yeah assuming this doesn’t happen to you, you’ll have a better experience.

Other than that the food is ok and worth checking out. Just be careful when asking for...
