My chicken was small and extremely thin -- like paper-thin cutlet thin -- and it came out very dry and overcooked, with a burnt, almost charcoal-like taste. In the past, they've served a thicker, juicier piece that's flavorful and well-cooked, so this was a noticeable drop in quality. I'm hoping this was just an off day because they normally do much better, but it was disappointing compared to their usual standards. Half of my little chicken slice was inedible.

I remembered that Craftway Kitchen was nearby and immediately headed there. I arrived just as they were opening which was great as there was not a wait to be seated. The staff here is always super friendly and they come across like they really enjoying being there. The inside seating includes table/chair combos, booths as well as bar seating. Weather permitting, they also have a relatively large patio which contains seating. As for the food, I have never had a bad meal here. From the French Toast to the Breakfast Tacos and everything in between, the food is consistently delicious. While all my visits have been for brunch, they have an extensive dinner menu with lots options that I hope to check out in the near future. If you are in the area and looking for an a great dining experience, I highly recommend Craftway Kitchen.

It's located in a small strip shopping center that almost looks like it's attached to a church. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We've tried the regular beef and the buffalo burgers (burgers are huge - hubby and I usually split one), tator tots - it's a huge portion with plenty to share and the Mama's fruit pies are to die for! So far, we've tried the tri-berry, blueberry, strawberry, cherry, apple and peach. My goal is to try them all! We usually order "to-go" so we reheat up the pies a little bit (again sharing one cuz they're big) and add a little bit of vanilla ice cream - delicioso!! You can't make a wrong decision when ordering off of their menu! Be sure to grab some meat from the butcher case for your grilling pleasure. Everything we've ever ordered is delicious.

I have to say, it's a big sandwich. Lots of meat, nicely seasoned, and they left some fat on there too for flavor. It might be too much of a sandwich for me since I couldn't finished... I also opted for the tater tots instead of fries. I know the beef isn't super high-end but that's not what this establishment was going for. My other friend got the BBQ Sandwich and some chicken tenders for his kids and they all liked their orders. The majority of the guests were ordering the ribeye sandwich on this day. This restaurant seems like a place where the locals goes. It has a nice comfort feel to it. The staff are also very nice.

"Con ăn chưa?" -- Have you eaten yet?…read more If you grew up in a Vietnamese home, you know those words mean so much more than the question itself. It's how our parents and grandparents show love. Food is how we care for one another, how we gather, and sometimes, how we find our way back home. That's what this place reminds me of. Don't let the playful name fool you--this is so much more than a pho restaurant. The pho is excellent, but what keeps me coming back are the dishes that taste like they came from a Vietnamese family kitchen. Bún bò Huế, bánh khọt, bánh xèo, canh chua cá, cá kho, thịt kho trứng... the kind of food that brings back memories before you even realize you were missing them. There are days when I'm homesick, craving a home-cooked Vietnamese meal, or simply don't have it in me to cook--and this is where I want to go. It feels comforting and familiar, like being fed by someone who knows exactly what you needed. And then there's the chè! They have one of the best selections I've found, plus they cater, so it truly has become my little one-stop shop for Vietnamese comfort food. Some restaurants you love because the food is good. Others you love because the food makes you feel something. This one feels like home. By far my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in DFW.

I wish they had a better system of notifying you that your order is done though. We were waiting for an almost embarrassingly long time before going up to check if our order was forgotten, just for it to be sitting on the counter unattended. We were some of the only people in the entire food court and sat nearby the restaurant, so we definitely would've heard them if they called our order number out.

I came to this restaurant after an event at Haggard Park, just across I-75, so the location was super convenient. The space is very open and seems perfect for accommodating larger groups. The booth I sat in was clean and comfortable, which made for a nice start. I ordered the Mediterranean platter with two dips--baba ghanouj (eggplant) and mohammara (roasted red pepper)--along with complimentary pita bread. Everything on the plate was very good. The vegetables tasted fresh, and both dips were flavorful and creamy. The scrambled eggs were pretty standard, and the pita bread came out hot. My favorite part was definitely the breakfast potatoes--they were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and honestly some of the best I've ever had. I do wish they came with melted cheese, and I would have loved an option like garlic naan since that's a personal favorite. Overall, the food was great and I'd come back again. The only downside was that it felt pretty warm inside, which made it a bit uncomfortable to stay for long. I mentioned it to the cashier, and he said I could let them know next time as well. read more

The menu and overall taste have room for improvement. It would also enhance the experience if the servers took a more proactive approach , explaining dishes clearly, offering suggestions, and asking a few questions to better understand customer preferences. This would help make the meal more enjoyable and personalized. read more

The server was very nice and attentive! We all got a variety of dishes, but the ones in the pictures are: Chicken Pesto Panini, Concha French Toast, and Salmon Egg Benedict. The Chicken Pesto Panini was really good, I loved the bread since it was soft and moist, but I wished the chicken was a bit thicker/bigger. The Concha French Toast was delicious!! The strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries were so refreshing and sweet; the toast was perfectly made and the coconut condensed milk added a nice sweetness to it. The egg benedict dishes were great as well, I think that was one of everyone's favorites from them. My friends all got different dishes and they loved every single dish!

The service was a bit slow, but to be fair, they were incredibly busy during brunch, so it was understandable. Despite that, the food was delicious, the theme was charming, and the overall experience was enjoyable. If you're an Alice in Wonderland fan--or just looking for a unique brunch spot--it's definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area.

I tried to order food online with their Toast online platform, which is not a difficult platform to order to go. I've ordered from several other restaurants with their platform. I tried to order my order multiple times and it kept saying error. I finally called it in to pick up and pay. I looked at my bank and the restaurant charged me three times for my order! The manager was so rude and did not even offer to comp my meal after I had already paid THREE times! It was beyond rude. It doesn't stop there.. then she demanded that I call my bank and have her speak to them about the transactions. That is a confidential conversation that you wouldn't let anyone else have with your bank. THEN, she proceeded to call the Plano Police. They told her that there is nothing that they can do because technically the restaurant owes money back to me. Total eye roll to say the least over a club sandwich on a Monday! I will continue to be a patron of this restaurant because this Asian manager is not indicative of how the Scrambler operates when just the normal Hispanic girls work the restaurant. I'm not sure what that was about but I still got double charged for my order yesterday and only got two of the charges back. As part of the Plano community, this woman should be fired and the owner of Scrambler cafe owes me over $40 in total. It's sad that we basically have to sue someone in a "civil" manner because they just do bad business. She should have offered me the difference of what thye owed and called it a day. She claimed there was no record of any of the transactions for their restaurant on her end on Toast. This is so not necessary and a complete waste of my day. Just a last comment - there is a reason that I don't sit down and stay to order food there. It's always extremely crowded and borderline looks like it's over fire code for that many people to be in there. They don't serve mimosas or bloody marys so that is why I'm not usually interested in staying there, along with the obvious sanitary issues. They also state in the front of the building that they have NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. What restaurant doesn't have restrooms? Things have just gotten worse and worse for the Scrambler and I hope they make it. If they close, I will miss the Scrambler Scramble!
