Stacked has risen to number one on my list. I will admit though that the competition in Oak Lawn is rather tough.

Pancakes a little under cooked which made the top layer separate at Stacked .I like The Skillet .

Flapjacks in Oak Lawn is the best. My favorite are the blueberry, but a plain stack is just as scrumptious!

Well it looks like it will be Stacked or Flapjacks.... but you guys have to try Lucky Burrito (95/natoma). They have an unbelievable Mexican breakfast and they have out of this world Pancakes. They don't get creative with all the mix-in's and toppings but as far as the batter goes, it's the best!!!
