When he discovered the property he now runs on Federal Road he fell in love with the location and the possibilities of creating a destination for both food and family fun.
Attonito has since kept the name, but has adjusted his menu around more conservative portions at the general request of many patrons who are just as happy with the current offerings.Īttonito has been in food service and restaurant operations for nearly three decades except for a brief period, and transplanted some of his most popular recipes including a few award-winning wing treatments from a popular sports bar he owned and operated in neighboring Ridgefield.
That homestyle business attitude also extends to the fresh selections offered at JJ Stacks, named for the original menu that initially offered all the sandwiches stacked three high - whether it was with chicken or beef patties. “Our coffee is from Candlewood Coffee, our ice cream is from Rich Farms, Bigelow supplies our teas, we get all our chicken from Omaha Beef, and our breads come from Gluten-Free Oasis, so we really try to support local as much as we can.” “My mantra is ‘support local,’ and stay out of the big box suppliers as much as we can given the business we’re in,” he said. So he attempts to source as many items as he can stock from local vendors.
STACKS BAR AND GRILL MENU FULL
Serving a full selection of breakfast offerings, delicious lunch and dinner favorites, and a custom catering menu for larger events, Attonito is also acutely aware of the challenges mom and pop operations like his are facing, especially during the COVID pandemic. Then come warmer weather, families and groups also pour into the Brookfield restaurant to check out mini golf and activities such as live music on the deck, pop-up drive-in movies, and themed festivals. BROOKFIELD - Local business owner and restauranteur Joe Attonito’s JJ Stacks at 537 Federal Road is a bit quieter during the winter months, but the upscale snack bar still sizzles with great food selections hungry patrons can get passionate about.
