Restaurateurs who have truly figured it out are Tom and Christina Demacopoulos, creators and owners of Stacked Pancake House. What makes this restaurant different are the dramatic presentations, and their ability to take standard American fare and create the “wow” factor. Whether it’s their overthe-top Atomic pancake, strawberry pancakes or the delightful cinnamon raisin baked French toast, Tom and Christine have figured out how to give customers
something they can’t get anywhere else. Visit the restaurant anytime and you can expect a 60 to 90 minute wait for a table. Although the portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable. In addition to their traditional classic buttermilk pancakes, Stacked also has multigrain pancakes, potato pancakes gluten-free pancakes and red velvet pancakes. A large selection of toppings include fresh fruit, strawberries, blueberries chocolate chips and glazed apples. The lunch
menu includes homemade soups, sandwiches, salads, burgers and more. Stacked Pancake House is located at 5723 W.95th in Oak Lawn and 14306 S. Cicero Ave. in Crestwood, Illinois and is open daily from 6 am until 3 pm. The Oak Lawn location at 5723 W. 95th is expanding into the space next door that was formerly a bridal shop, adding more seating. Tom notes that he is regularly approached by others who are interested in franchising or licensing the Stacked brand.
