    Nice sign

    On our way back from Detroit Airport dropping off my son for a year in Kuwait. (Sobbing) Just a minute or 2 off 75 to this place. It sits in a strip mall nothing fancy but we're here for the food. Was greeted after we sat down. Very friendly and personable. Coffee right out. Our food was out in no time. Everything was cooked wonderfully. My sausage links were great. Nice flavor. Potatoes on point. Maybe I was just starving?? Lol.. No everything was great and for $24.50 we didn't leave hungry. If I'm in the area again I will be back to try out the lunch menu. Love coming to Mom and Pop places like this. They treat you like family and take care of you. Another thing they have is a wall of service men, told them about my son and they said bring a picture and we will hang it on our wall!! Love this!

    Eggs and potatoes

    Driving up from Cleveland to Detroit I stopped here to have breakfast. I was just going have pancakes but ended up getting steak and eggs and potatoes. The food was decent. My favorite were the pancakes. Coffee was my least favorite. I did get lots of food for $25. Service was good. Looks like it's run by a family. Good peoples. Definitely a good and friendly place for breakfast

    OMG... First of all, who put my auntie in the kitchen. LOL. Stacey said it must be good because she don't eat eggs. She waxed them eggs! Grits was on point!!! My pancakes? I'm verklempt. They put powdered sugar on them (wiping eyes). I could say more. But I got the itis now and am temporarily stuck on stupid. This place... we'll definitely be back to try lunch. Angie...WE'LL BE BACK!

    YUM! Quick stop in Toledo and we found this on our way out of town. Our server was Jeni and she was so friendly and took great care of us. The place was PACKED and everyone was working hard, which is a nice change of pace compared to most places these days. The food took a little while - however Jeni made us aware of that when she took our order. Our drinks were refilled and the wait wasn't bad at all. The food was FANTASTIC. Mom had a little burger that had a grilled bun and was cooked exactly how she wanted it. Sis had the veggie omelette and it was MASSIVE! Tons of veggies. She was slightly put off by the amount of butter on her toast - but I thought it was perfect. I had the KT bene which was a corned beef hash eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached perfection. Everything about the experience was lovely and if you are local or passing through, it's well worth the stop!

    Turkey Western omelette w/fruit and rye toast

    Uuuuge omelette, quite tasty. A bit over-cheesed for me but hard to say that's a negative. Fruit bowl was fresh and toast was warm. Great parking lot for fellow truck peeps. Very nice people, clearly a local fave. The best part was the sensible pricing. Under $10 for breakfast is a home run. Had to wave for coffee refill but overall a winner.

    This place has probably changed ownership 20 times in the past 50 years. It's location could be considered ideal for a restaurant, but since it's so close to the heart of Toledo shopping many cars just whiz on by and head for the chains up Monroe street. That's a shame if you ask me. Little neighborhood diners like this are key to community. All sorts of different folks sitting around, chatting with their servers, catching up on local politics and enjoying delicious diner food. After driving by a million times, we stopped in today for some sunday brunch. It should be noted that they close at two, and we arrived at 1:30 greeted with smiles and great rock-n-roll playing in the background. The sassy, very sociable server was also the owner. Her husband back in the kitchen frying up the eggs, and her daughter cleaning up tables. This is a real mom-n-pop affair. Just like we like it. The menu looked worrisome. No graphic designers were employed in the making of this document. The offerings we're expected, and classic. That said, the food we ordered was good. My wife got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Croissants aren't typically offered at diners, and if they are it's usually an up-charge. She requested extra crispy bacon and it was perfectly cooked. My mexican omelette was great. Wonderfully greasy with cheddar cheese and chorizo. I subbed the potatoes for grits, and the grits were GOOD. Grits! They have grits! I know it's a small thing, but I love grits. When we asked for hot sauce, she asked "what kind?" and offered up several varieties. More toledo restaurants should take note. Being treated like a regular on a first visit promises we're going to become regulars. Yes, the place is a little dingy and hole-the-the-wally, but for me that ads to the charm. No frills, just decent food and friendly service.

    This Hole In The Wall is good!

    Sometimes you just want a quick, hearty meal without overpaying for "ambience." KT's delivers great food at a great price with great service, period! This place under-promises and over-delivers. Everyone here is friendly and genuine. I ordered breakfast and the entire plate was cooked to perfection and tasted just the way I had hoped it would. Eat here, you won't be disappointed. Special thanks to Amanda for the fantastic service.

The menu has a wide range of options to choose from We got the ham & greyere omelette and added spinach which was one of the best omelettes I've had. The combo was a perfect mix of cheese with the saltiness and flavor of the ham. We also got the avocado toast with the basted egg which was very fresh. They used some very fresh avocados, it seems they used the whole avocado cause we surely weren't lacking. The biscuits and gravy were extremely good. The biscuits had a slight crunch and were freshly made. The turkey gravy was flavorful and light The drinks are premade but also very well done. Slightly on the sweeter side but still well done The restaurant was packed with a 15-20 min wait but there's a community table that we sat at and we were seated immediately, fun hack for couples. Only one other person sat at the table with us so it was like we had to it ourselves, though we wouldn't mind chatting to random strangers. We love this place and will be back

I was told they don't take reservations but that we could sign in to the waitlist. When we got in there was nobody under our group's name.. not sure if we didn't do it right but was a little confused by that. Either way, we were able to get a table right away, a nice booth in the back at that. It's kid friendly too which is always a plus. There is so much deliciousness on the menu it's great! There is something for everyone and all of it tastes great. I will say the chickichanga I had was a bit spicy but still really good. Also, you have to try the different drinks they have! I got the kale tonic and caramel crunch coffee, both AMAZING! Although if you're lactose intolerant I'd ask for dairy free milk and if you're not into sweet stuff this is probably not for you. I was a little disappointed in the waitress. She was super kind and personable but I felt like she didn't ask enough questions, like when I asked for the coffee she never asked what milk I wanted (I should've clarified but still). I also felt like she didn't show herself enough. It wasn't terribly busy so I felt she could've done better. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

When I came in there was no one at the front entrance so I proceeded to the please seat me sign. I literally stood there longer than it took my food to come out. There were maybe 10 tables. Still work to be done here. Smaller than the old location with tables and booths all within view as you stand there.

They bring the credit card machine to your table and the server does it all leading to that uncomfortable moment of do you want to leave a tip? Suggest you bring cash for the tip so you can leave what you would like without awkwardness. Give it a few months to get up to speed and drop your less able folks as you enter the lot. Close as you will get. Its a bit of a hike

The fries were a bit better, lightly crisp flour-covered things, but again: kind of unexciting without ketchup. They were fine. The store's decor was mostly mom-n-pop nice, attractive and probably comfortable (I did takeout). The carpet was worn and maybe a bit grimy. I'm thinking that's because of the breakfast and lunch crowd the restaurant attracts, many of whom have been working hard at jobs that get their shoes dirty. No points off for that. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, and the portion they served me was just right for a hungry driver. Parking was easy and the store was easy to find and get to. Overall: fine. Not for me, but I can see why it gets four stars overall.

I was recently at the Secor Rd location with my mom for a late brunch. Our server was very friendly, nice and it was her second week on the job. From my prior experiences at the Central Rd Scramber's, I would order an omelette that came with potatoes, toast (which I always decline) and an additional side. It didn't occur to me that the Secor Rd Scrambler's franchise would be any different. I ordered my usual omelette with spinach, tomatoes and portobello mushrooms. When asked for my side, I selected the fresh fruit. I was asked for another side and ordered pancakes that I knew my mom would enjoy taking home. My mom ordered three eggs over easy with two sausage patties, pancakes and a fruit salad. While waiting for our orders to be prepared, it occurred to me that I wasn't asked about which potatoes I wanted. When our orders were served, I mentioned to our server that there weren't any potatoes. She said she would put in an order of potatoes and bring them out. There was no discussion about price. My mom enjoyed her meal and I enjoyed mine as well, except that I noticed there was far less spinach than usual. I didn't mention it to our server. The omelette was tasty; the fruit salad was fresh; and the potatoes that came later were plentiful and not greasy. For drinks, my mom ordered coffee and I ordered an Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade). I finished my drink and wasn't offered a refill but also didn't ask. Since drinks these days run $3.99, usually the server would pretty promptly bring a refill without the need to ask. Since I realize our server was new, it wasn't a big deal. When the bill came, I was surprised to see the charge of approximately $43 before tip. In reviewing the bill, there was a charge of $4.99 for the potatoes that normally came as a side with an omelette. There was also an upcharge for the pancakes side. When I inquired about these unexpected charges, our server said she would discuss it with her manager. Upon returning, our server informed me that the manager agreed to take $1 off. To me, the $4.99 potatoes should have been comp'd as the usual omelette side. My mom didn't want me to make a fuss, so I just paid the bill but left feeling that it wasn't fair. Given that our server was new, I didn't blame her at all but did feel that the manager missed an opportunity to come out to speak with us and take more than $1 off the bill. While I might return to this Scrambler's due to its convenient location, I would be cognizant of the new charges for sides which would have otherwise been included in the brunch entree price. I also want other customers to be aware to ask the price of sides even if they are presented as part of the order. Food was overall good but the bill seemed overpriced and irked me.

The waitresses did not even bat an eyelid. They were very polite and were busy doing their work. They were helping seat people as well as checking out people who had just eaten. We only waited about 15 - 20 mins. In the meantime, we chatted with the locals, who told us how often they came here just to eat the pies.
