    Diner Burger
    James Y.

    Yum. Nice little diner place with very nice staff. I went with a regular burger and fries. The burger was juicy and very well seasoned. The fries were nice and hot. Definitely a return visit place if in the area.

    Diner Burger and Garlic Fries

    We were in Merced for work and one of the guys on the yard recommended Scott's he said they have great breakfasts. He couldn't attest to lunch, which is what we wanted, but decided to try it anyway. Waitress was amazing, Jordan. Very friendly and prompt, she checked with us after we had started eating to be sure everything was good. The food was wonderful! My coworker and I both ordered the diner burger with garlic fries and our boss got the fish and chips. The burger and fries were great! Big portions. My boss said the fish and chips were good as well. It's an old building but they take good care of it. Keeping things clean. If I come to Merced again I'll look forward to coming back

    Had to do a revisit of Scott's Diner and the breakfast was still plentiful and delicious. The food portions rival those larger breakfast shops and are served nice and hot. The service well when the owner himself waits on your table sign me up. With this type of leadership the staff is a real treat ensuring you have all you need. Now the old adage of "don't judge a book by its cover" fits perfectly here, this is a neighborhood eatery with every piece of decor in this place has a story. Does the place need a little TLC ? Probably but what makes up for that is the ownership, staff and fabulous home style food. If you're on your way through Merced going to Yosemite or Bass Lake stop by. You'll see what I mean. SYOYCVN

    This is a classic American diner with some Mexican influenced options as well. The food is plentiful and delicious! And the staff is friendly. I am a picky eater and they made a breakfast exactly the way I wanted it. Definitely will return. Oh and the prices are good for the amount of food they give you.

    As advertised! Don't let the looks of the place for you, they have good service, they are nice, and they have good food! It looks like an all Mexican restaurant, but they serve American food. We had the beef stroganoff, and a low-carb turkey club sandwich. We had a darn good time, and I highly recommend this place.

    It's crazy that I've driven by this restaurant so many times and I've never tried it. Well a few weeks ago my girl and I gave it a try and it's definitely one of the best breakfast spots to go to. Definitely feels local and the service is great but the food is even better!!! Love their pancakes! Weird parking lot to get to lol gets extremely busy between 11am and closing time and great prices too! Portions are amazing too.

    Chicken fried steak and eggs

    My family and I always enjoy stopping by Scott's Diner whenever we're in town. Today, we had the Smokehouse Ribs and Eggs, and it was absolutely delicious! If you're ever in the area, be sure to support this local diner--you won't be disappointed.

    Yummy yummy food. Waitress was very kind. looks like an old run down place from the outside But the foods is great and the menu is huge. Food came out fast. Also hot and apple pie slice and ice cream after and that was great too! If passing through town again we will visit again!

Asked the waiter if I can pay extra to select a different salad on the menu and they said No. Pasta is great, salad is average, the beet salad plate was cold, seems like it came straight from the fridge. Pizza took very long to make, it came towards the end of our meal. The waiter gave us some free fries and soups to make up the long wait time. Overall it's not a bad experience, I would go back for pasta dishes only.

    We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and service at Bella Luna. My wife and I…read moreare light eaters and enjoy sharing. We started off with the steamed mussels which were excellent - large meaty mussels in a roasted tomato garlic broth. The broth was so good we both spooned it down long after the mussels were gone. This was followed by the beet salad which was the classic pairing of bitter arugula with the sweet beets. The crab and lobster ravioli as our main course didn't disappoint - lots of sweet crab and lobster meat stuffed into each ravioli, all draped with a creamy rich sauce. We topped off our meal with another classic - crunchy cannoli fingers. Mmm, good! Our friendly server gave us excellent wine service and food suggestions. The back dining room was cheerfully noisy and gave off the vibe of eating at your Italian Grandmother's house. We had a great time, highly recommended.
