So many vegan options!

Great service and so many clearly labeled vegan options. We had granola French toast and pancakes. Ordered the vegan cheesecake ( not my favorite, only bc it tastes nothing like cheesecake but more of a sweet custard). They also had vegan chocolate chip cookies. My only complaint is they do not have a dessert menu. The only reason I knew to try vegan cheesecake was I saw it written on a board while waiting. We then didn’t see the cookies til we had already paid at registers.

Tremendous Vegan Dining Experience

On vacation in Myrtle beach and my family was looking for vegan options and found this wonderful place! HOT STACKS CAFE has other food, but we were impressed with the many creative vegan options available! I had the "Shamrock sandwich" and it was a real treat.. Fast and knowledgeable service made this a fantastic experience.. As a matter of fact we will probably hit them up a couple more times before we leave! One warning: This is HOT STACKS CAFE.. NOT.. HOT STACKS PANCAKE HOUSE! Only the CAFE is vegan!

Pros: Fast service and many vegan options

Cons: That they don't have more of these restaurants!

great options, great service

Came in on a busy morning but we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. Had a server as soon as we were seated and our meals (farmhouse bowl and BLT) were ready in about 5 minutes. There were a lot of options for me (strict vegan) and my dad too. The bowl was delicious and somewhat unconventional with a tofu scramble, home fries, and avocado but also asparagus and chickpeas. Definitely will be coming back next time i’m in town.

Pros: wide variety of veg & non-veg options, great, super fast service, reasonably priced

Great Vegan Breakfast Options

Hot stacks is a great option for breakfast if you are looking for a place with vegan and vegetarian options. It's not easy to find vegan food in Myrtle Beach. Their menu is clearly marked. I had the vegan blueberry pancakes. They were, but slightly bland. I put a little salt on them and then the flavor was perfect. I also had the hash browns. Those were really good! My husband had the vegan chicken and waffles. So good!

Pros: Great vegan options, Great atmosphere, lots of seating

Vegan haven in an anti vegan town

ONLY the Hot Stacks Cafe at THIS address has the wide vegan menu options.
Traditional pancake house options with vegan items clearly marked on the menu. Pancakes were ok but would not recommend them if trying to get an omni to see the benefits of vegan food.
I had the tofu burrito. It was good and filling and fruit was fresh but the sausage was so mild I did not taste it. Husband had the vegan chicken club and really enjoyed it. They have specials apparently, too,vegan ones. Other than Bombay on the Beach, the only actively vegan restaurant we have found in town.

Pros: Vegan breakfast and lunch options at same meal, "Traditional" American food in vegan versions, Prices in line with non-vegan meals

Cons: Pancakes & burrito ok but not OUTSTANDING

First Time visitor to Myrtle Beach

Very pleased to find this gem among the many pancake and waffle options in the Myrtle Beach area. The only one serving delicious vegan pancakes, tofu scramble, vegan sausage and vegan homefries, vegan hash and vegan muffins. They also had non-vegan options like eggs and turkey bacon for non-vegan preferences. beautiful, clean modern decor and fresh fruit served.

Pros: Good value, Friendly staff, nice vibe

Great breakfast

I went with my mom who is not vegan. It was nice to have options for both of us and there were more than just a few vegan options. I had the chicken and waffles, it was so good I happy danced through breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Great for dining with non-veg family

Update- we had another great experience. They updated their menu and now all the vegan options are clearly labeled on the regular menu. Had vegan chikn and waffles and the vegan silver dollar pancakes with chocolate chips and blueberries. So good!!!
The “vegan hash” was a bit disappointing as it could have been grilled longer. Really glad this place is so vegan friendly. Definitely will go back next time I visit family.

—-

We had a positive experience here and pleased with the separate vegan menu (which also has gluten free options), and the super friendly staff. I ordered vegan pancakes with a side of hash browns. After the server brought out the hash browns she came running back to the table saying "don't eat those!" after realizing she brought me a version made with butter. The chef promptly brought out another order and apologized for the mix-up. Even thought a mistake was made I really appreciated the prompt attention and that they realized their error before I'd even had a chance to dig in.
After thanking them for the vegan menu options I asked why, and was told the owner (of this location only) is a triathlete who often eats vegan to train.
will definitely go back next time I'm at the beach - my family is non-veg so it's nice to go somewhere for a filling breakfast that I have options too!

Pros: separate vegan menu with several choices, great staff

Pancakes!

We stoped in for blueberry pancakes and found they also had banana pecan. Both were great. They are also serving beyond meat products. So we enjoyed the sausage patty. Good service.

Not all locations offer vegan options

I was disappointed to learn that only the North Myrtle Beach location offers a vegan menu. The other 2 do not. They do have a gluten free menu for those who need that. I got hash browns and some sauteed veggies.

Nice options, though not always really vegan

I was looking forward to getting some pancakes here during my weekend in Myrtle Beach. We drove in and found a nice, big breakfast diner with a sunny atmosphere and lots of room.

Our server was kind and helpful. The menu had a lot of delicious-sounding vegan options, labeled with a little vegan symbol. Sadly, though, when we asked if the pancakes were cooked on a separate surface from the non-vegan stuff, we were told they weren't: all the pancakes were cooked together, except the gluten-free ones, though they contain eggs and dairy.

I was able to get the Shamrock sausage sandwich and hash browns, which are cooked on their own grill. These were pretty good.

But I really wanted some pancakes and I was surprised that a restaurant that goes out of its way to have vegan options and advertise them wouldn't have a contamination-free cooking surface.

Pros: A non-vegan diner that has vegan options right on

Cons: Items labeled vegan aren't really vegan because of

So Happy Here!

After eating nothing but salad and fruit for 3 days of vacation, my husband and I decided to try this place. I was surprised with all of the vegan options! It was delicious and my hubby (he has the appetite and eating habits of a high school football player) really enjoyed it!

Pros: vegan options, tasty, nice atmosphere, non-vegans

Cons: It was a little busy, but all was good!

A place to bring the whole family!

***Please note that only one location is really vegan friendly

My family went to Hot Stacks and they had a separate menu exclusively for vegan options. However, this time, the vegan options were included into the regular menu and the menu included new vegan meals.

I really love the food here! It's nice to just go out to eat with family (vegan and non-vegan) where everyone will get something to eat. I ordered the Shamrock which is a vegan breakfast sandwich made with Gimme Lean breakfast sausage and has avocado and kale on it. So yummy!

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, A great place to bring family

Vegan brunch

As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best diners with vegan options that I've been to that isn't a vegetarian cafe. Several sandwich and lunch options and vegan pancakes and soy milk. I got the chipotle chicken club with fries and I was really happy. Unfortunately I'm such a savory food person that when I'm given the choice between a sweet/savory breakfast I ALWAYS go savory. I will try next time to go to the pancakes cause I'm never given the treat of sweets. Definitely worth the drive if you're further south in myrtle and you're vegan

Pros: Lunch AND breakfast options, Diner style, Reasonable prices

Cons: Really busy, Little bit of a drive

I went with my meatatarian family and there were options for everyone! I had the breakfast sandwich and the banana pecan pancakes; they were both good. The side of fruit was very fresh and Delish. My fam got the quesadilla, meat lovers omelette, and French toast and they enjoyed them too. :))). The service was also very good! Our server was very friendly and helpful.

Pros: service and speed, food was great, variety of food

Cons: bathrooms are too small for such a big place

Many vegan options!

I went in with my family as the only vegan and was surprised there were many more options then just the vegan pancakes! Black bean burgers, sausages and of course pancakes.

The menu was easy to navigate with vegan, vegetarian and even Palo items clearly marked out.

This place is a god send for family's that have mixed eating styles.

Pros: polite and efficient staff, mixed menu that is clearly marked what each food i

Cons: if it's a worry to you, possibly cross contaminat
