If you're on the hunt for the perfect way to start your day, look no further than Hot Stacks Family Restaurant. Tucked away in the heart of town, this cozy breakfast spot delivers big flavours, warm hospitality, and a menu that'll keep you coming back for more.

Let’s talk about the Lumberjack Breakfast—this is the meal of champions. We're talking fluffy pancakes stacked high, crispy bacon, savoury sausage, golden house potatoes, and eggs cooked exactly how you like them. Oh, and don't sleep on the side of buttery toast—this plate seriously has it all. It's hearty, filling, and everything you want in a classic breakfast.

The staff are friendly and fast, the coffee’s strong and hot, and you get the kind of welcoming, no-frills comfort that only the best local spots can offer.

Whether you're fueling up for a busy day or just treating yourself to a weekend indulgence, do yourself a favour and order the Lumberjack. You won’t leave hungry—and you will be back.

Even without power after the ice storm you made us the best breakfast and coffee with beautiful service. Chefs wore headlamps and the coffee was superb!!!! Well done!!!

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a breakfast and we decided on Stacks in Cookstown and so glad we did!
From the minute we walked in we were greeted by our server Cindy with a smile…
We asked for recommendations and she was so helpful and pleasant. Food came out hot and was delicious. Cindy checked on us throughout the service in a very thoughtful way.
Frankly this level of service is so rare, she is a gem and Stacks is lucky to have her at their restaurant….Thank you Cindy , we look forward to the next time

It is a cozy place for brunch, the foods are good and fresh, but not special. There were some minor points that I put 4 stars here. They forgot to have sussages in our order, and they added it almost when we finished, the smoked salmon was a bit salty, and the overall service was slow. The best thing about the place is the french toasts! One of the best one I have ever tried.

Hot Stacks is legendary for its pancakes ... but it also makes the best hamburgers and hot chocolate that I've ever had.

Our waitress Bronwyn provided great service!

I’ve been going here since I was a child with my grandparents and bring my friends here every time they come to the area. This place is not only just a restaurant but a great memory of breakfasts with my family.
If you don’t come here and try their 🍞Banana bread French toast🍞 then you haven’t lived life to the fullest!

Best breakfast hands down!!
Been going there for almost 15 years-never disappoints. Best home fries- made with real potatoes. They have a full menu of burgers and sandwiches - just as amazing. Unlimited coffee too!!
