Scout is a cute homey spot perfect for brunch. It doesn't look like a restaurant from the street so it's easy to miss. I had a reservation for 6 at 1pm on a Saturday. They weren't busy at that time so we would have been okay without a reservation. We sat out front at the picnic style table. I ordered a Bellini and the berry French toast. The French toast was delicious! I didn't realize it came stuffed with some sort of cream cheese like filling. Note it doesn't come with anything else like a meat or eggs. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals too, the egg white omelette smelled delectable! Parking: street spots read more

Great food. I have vowed to just randomly pick a place- another great find!!! Our server, Sheri (please forgive me if I misspelled it) was . Service was spectacular, appetizers and food were out quickly and the bartender did not disappoint! Great ambiance. They have high curling's so the noise is a little louder than most places I go, but we didn't have any trouble hearing each other in normal conversational level. Great neighborhood vibe!! Everything was give them a try. read more

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night. It's all patronized, no need to make reservations unless you're in a big group, do they can prep your table. We ordered an appetizer - fried cauliflower. It was lightly battered and not super oily, sprinkled with grated cheese, comes with a side of ranch dipping sauce. My salmon on farro was extra crispy as requested. The inside of my salmon was just cooked. Perfectly done. My husband's hot chicken burger with a side of onion rings was perfect and delicious, the side of onion was generous. Would come here again to try other items on their menu. read more

Incredible experience for a couples trip! Food was delicious. The Bloody Mary was meh (wasn't a fan of the herbs) but our server Carter was incredible! And we love a brunch place that takes military discount! And you can taste the liquor! Must try if you're in Decatur or on your way through! read more

We had a great dinner at Scout with our young kids! The patio was a perfect spot to sit and the staff were so patient and attentive. The kids' menu had good options and our dinner was excellent. The front lawn was also a great spot for families to sit and eat so that kids can get up and get their wiggles out when needed. We will definitely be back regularly! read more

I've been to Scout multiple times but never reviewed it. I just went back last night for my birthday, so it's time. Obviously, I like this place a lot, as I chose it as a spot to take my friends for my birthday. Scout always makes me feel happy and I enjoy my time here. I love the variety in entrees, appetizers, and sides. Plus, it has one of my favorite mac & cheese sides. I got there, autumn old-fashioned as my beverage. It was very balanced and delicious. We got the yummy deviled eggs and our appetizer. I like to cut it up so I get four bites. I couldn't decide between the salmon and the trout, so luckily, my friend had the same issue as I did. The trout won by a landslide. It had way more flavor. Since it was my birthday, they gave me homemade banana fosters with delicious vanilla ice cream. Luckily, they gave us four spoons because it was huge and we absolutely loved it. Parking: street parking, so we took a ride-share read more

Visited Scout on a rainy Saturday and was able to get a table very quickly. The servers were up beat and seemed to enjoy working there. My server specifically was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great recommendations. Started off with a simple mimosa and order the Crispy Brussels as a starter. The portion is huge and perfect for sharing. For the most part this was a great choice but there was a bitter char to the dish which might be off putting for some. I ordered a side of biscuits which were delicious. Nice and fluffy, paired with sweet jelly. As my main I tried the Phoenix. The fried chicken was crispy and seasoned well which went nicely with the cheddar waffle. Lastly I tried the egg white omelette. This omelette was huge and so worth it! The flavors went together perfectly making each bite memorable. Overall I would recommend this place for a nice weekend brunch with friends or family. I will definitely be going back! read more

I've had this place on my list for a little while and finally had a chance to come here for their lunch service with a couple of girlfriends and we had an absolute blast! I made reservations on OpenTable and when we arrived, we lucked up and found parking in front of the restaurant and the young lady welcomed us in and promptly took us our seat. Each staff member we encountered was super kind and made sure we had what we needed but our server Carter was top notch. Friendly. Kind. Attentive. He truly made an afternoon out even better. We ordered pretzel bites and crispy Brussels for the table and they were absolutely delicious but please note that there is bacon in the Brussels if that's something that is not part of your diet. For my entree, I couldn't resist the chicken caesar wrap. It was full of grilled chicken that was seasoned well, romaine lettuce, caesar dressing and it was just a very filling meal. Loved the atmosphere and just the calm vibe of this place. Food was delicious, staff was absolutely amazing and I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. I booked with open table which is always a nice thing to be able to reserve your table. Greeted and sat immediately with friendly service. Our server was also awesome. Very attentive; funny, and patient. Had small plates and everything was great. Brussel sprouts were plentiful and yummy. The candied walnuts made them even better. The Sofia - chefs kiss. So flavorful. Had the beat salad with salmon and the salmon was cooked beautifully. Also go the truffle fries because why not. The vibe/ambiance is good too. Very cute spot in oakhurst. Definitely will be back. read more

I had THEE best dinner at Scout last night! The food, venue and service were great. Their homemade Caesar dressing was some of the best I ever had. The burger=great, the brussels sprouts=great, and the brownie.... my goodness. I can't wait until I'm back in town to try again!! read more

We recently tried Scout for brunch with some friends and had a fantastic time. I made a reservation for 4 people at 12 p.m. on a Sunday. There were plenty of reservation spots open online, and when we showed up, the restaurant was starting a wait list for walk-ins. We were seated promptly and brought water, and had drink orders taken. Their hot tea selection was abundant, and they brought milk and honey upon request and gave free hot water refills. We ordered deviled eggs to start the table, and boy, we wish we had ordered two of them! Each of us had one, and the bacon on top was crispy and packed a nice smoky crunch. I ordered the salmon, lox, and bagel meal. The eggs were enormous and fluffy, and the dill cream cheese spread was excellent! It was the perfect combination of savory and sweet. My husband and I split a side of chicken sausage, and I liked that the eggs were split along the sausage so they were easier to cut. The restaurant is beautiful inside, and the high ceilings and large windows bring plenty of light into the space. I loved looking out onto the large dining room and seeing the orders pass by. We weren't pressured to leave, and the staff checked in on us after we were done eating, but we still catching up with friends. I would come back here for dinner and try more of the menu. read more

Avoid dining at this place. I went with a large party for birthday and this placed disappointed in food, drink, and service. The deviled eggs appetizer were a VERY hard consistency and we did not finish the plate of four. I was excited to order the Caesar with homemade dressing, grana padano, and anchovies. Flavorless anchovies were draped on top of the over-dressed lettuce, which is a clear indication the restaurant did not prepare the dressing from scratch. Also, the grana padano certainly wasn't freshly shaved. Of the other brunch appropriate orders, none were shared or raved about. Very average plates at high prices. Three of our drinks went unfinished. The little Bimini specifically tasted just like rum with water. Service here felt untrained and inattentive. We had to ask for water refills. No questions asked about the food or drinks left on our table. read more

Scout's honor, brunch at Scout was just a-ok. We saw that Scout had outdoor seating and called ahead to check that we could brunch outdoors with our pup. Check! Service was pretty slow - from waiting at the host stand to getting seated to finally flagging down a server and getting our orders in, to finally getting our food... it was a long waiting game. I ordered the Phoenix, which is basically a fancy chicken and waffle - the waffle was fluffy and fragrant but the Nashville hot chicken on top was a bit disappointing - dry and flavor didn't give me Nashville hot vibes. The Triple Berry Jam French Toast was pretty good but nothing mind blowing. Overall, the brunch we had at Scout was just a-ok. But next time I will leave the pup at home and stop in for the fried chicken (because that's what I've heard the most rave reviews for) and hope for a better second try! read more

Love me some Scout! The restaurant is massive and every bit of it, inside and out is beautiful. The service was amazing. Big ups to Sheri, our server.. she didn't miss a beat. The food is amazing, massive portions, cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go again and again, so I can try every single item on the menu. The craft cocktails were delicious.. I highly recommend the Porch Swing if you're into bourbon. read more

This is the second time I've been to the restaurant and once again it didn't disappoint. I went with a Meetup group and between the six of us, everyone loved their food. Even though they were quite busy for a Sunday brunch, the server was always on top of things. Would definitely go back. read more

stumbled across this place as I was looking for a restaurant to eat with my friends after a workout! I am so glad I came across this restaurant because it's in a residential area. Therefore it's not the type of restaurant you've passed by on a daily basis. For starters great customer service and a very clean restaurant. I liked the set up of there being a half open/visible so depending on where you sit, you're almost able to see the chefs prepare your meals! There are so many great options for food. I didn't know where to start. Ultimately I ended up getting the egg white chicken sausage omelette and when I tell you caramelized onions and an omelette is going to be my new favorite fixation! The food was very fresh and you can tell a lot of the items or house made. Even the mimosas had some sort of syrup in them. That was also fresh and potentially made in house as well. This is a family oriented restaurant and is very spacious so I definitely recommend bringing your family here for a celebration, after church, etc. I will definitely be coming back to try the other items that I wanted to taste off of the menu. The only downside to this restaurant is like I said it's in a residential area so there wasn't a designated parking lot . Therefore, you have to find parking on the street. There was plenty of street parking, however! definitely a place you'd want to check out and maybe even go back to experience the delicious food again! read more

Scout has a cool vibe, being in an old building that they converted into a restaurant. Plus, their staff is always warm and welcoming. Also, the food was really unique here, and quite good! The sprouts were an unexpected combo of fruit, cheese, and veggies. Somehow, it all worked so well. That uniqueness carried through the whole meal too. I'd absolutely recommend coming here for dinner. I'm going to come back, and try their morning offerings too. read more

Overall, this is a very nice place. It is a lovely decor, and the grounds around are nicely done. But the indoor seating seemed nicer than outside. It was very easy to park. A big plus when your alternative is downtown Decatur. The food was pretty good but the service was mediocre to poor. We had to wait quite awhile to get ordered then she'd disappear for long periods but other workers would flit by that we could flag down. I asked for salt, sister needed a spoon for her grits, ketchup for burger, etc. The waitress finally got civil and chatty when my sister pulled out her credit card to pay. It was very obvious, we all 3 noticed, simultaneously. (But my sister used to be a Pizza Hut waitress so she gave a very good tip.) I really don't like how restaurants have used the pandemic as an excuse to stop putting salt, pepper, napkins (everything) on the table. Okay, that's my daily rant. The food was good, for the most part. We got two appetizers, crispy brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze and candied walnuts and the deviled eggs. Brussel sprouts were delicious and the eggs were okay but there were only 4 halves and it costs $14. Too much by any measure. They had several gluten free options, well noted on the menu. Sister got The Double Mason, no bread, with sweet potato fries. She liked it. The beet and arugula salad was tasty, generous and not too much vinaigrette. The harvest cheddar biscuit was "meh". Nice texture but I couldn't taste much cheese. My other sister got the cheese grits as a side, they looked yummy. We asked for a dessert menu. There was one gluten free option, flourless cake. Didn't sound gooey enough so we shared a banana split. It was okay. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend and left very happy! The restaurant is in an old building that's been updated so the floors are beautiful old (looking, anyway) wood but the rest is modernized. Very cute character and lots of windows and natural light. The staff very welcoming and quick-- from the host to the person to sat us to our waitress. At one point a fly flew into my mimosa and the host, who was walking by, immediately remade it. The menu didn't have a ton of selections but maybe that's for the best so you choose faster! I had their version of eggs Benedict (crispy prosciutto instead of ham. Delish) and my girlfriend got the chicken sausage and strawberry jam French toast. Everything was delicious. I live out of state so I sadly can't make this a regular spot but highly recommend adding this to your list if you're in the area! read more

So came back and gave it another try and glad we did. Really good food choices and a good bartender. They have a surprisingly good selection of seafood selections as well both eat very little meat. If you can get outdoor during good weather that is the best choice as inside can get a little loud only because of hard surface. Service is hit or miss if you get one of the younger folks, but it's back on the rotation when we want something non fussy but quality. Reservations on Resy read more

Love Love Love Scout. My girls and I came here for a Saturday brunch. We sat out on the patio, and the with the fans and umbrellas, it was very pleasant. All of our food and drinks were fantastic. There was plenty of parking all around, and then the little neighborhood was great to walk off all of the food we ate. Everyone was friendly and you felt like you were in a small southern town, because although the four of us came together, we talked to all of the tables around us. Highly recommend checking out Scout and the surround area. read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but the service was ridiculously slow. My bestie and I were seated right away and then we had multiple servers come get our drink order. It took them three tries to get just our water order correctly. I order hot water and my bestie, room temperature water and I'm guessing with the lack of communication and multiple servers coming to us, they couldn't get it right. However, we didn't change the order at all the three times they asked so that was interesting. We ordered the Brussels sprouts with pecans. It was highly recommended. The Brussels were good but I was not a fan of the pecans. Then, we waited like 30min or more for our actual dishes. When I asked the server, she said they were having a hard time with their new POS system and that's why it took so long. By the time we got our food, I was already irritated and def tried to still be nice because I didn't know the situation. They weren't very busy and had multiple servers so it didn't make any sense to me. The side spinach salad I got was not that great, but the corned beef hash I ordered was pretty good. When I asked for a to go box, they ran out and took another 10-15 minutes to figure out how we were gonna box our food. The check was provided for us and I had to start walking up to the host stand for us to be able to pay. It took 2 hours for the experience, and we def spent more time waiting. If my bestie and I didn't have a lot of catching up to do, my Karen def would've come out. Cause whew. The restrooms were also gendered, which I find fascinating in Atlanta when there are a good amount of restaurants with gender neutral restrooms. Another thing that threw me off was the FF restroom meant for femme folks with kids, meaning the diaper changing thing is there. *eye roll* read more

What a neighborhood gem! We went to Brunch at Scout and I don't have a single negative thing to say. The menu is well thought out and the food is so good! The service is personable and friendly, the drinks were delicious and the portions are giant! I like the atmosphere, it feels like a rebuilt train station. There was a mix of people so if you want to dress up, you can but jeans and a flannel is ok too. The breakfast items were so well done we plan to go back for dinner. We cannot express enough to get the deviled eggs.. the combination of crispy lemon pepper chicken skin and truffle is fantastic. It's hard to describe but you have to get them! Thanks Scout for an excellent Sunday!! read more

First and foremost, this place is gorgeous! It's somewhat tucked away so it'll be hard to find unless you've been here before and are super familiar with the area. There is street parking available and parking behind the restaurant through an entrance that's kind of hard to see. My friends and I made a reservation to dine here for Sunday brunch. They were packed so make sure to make reservations if you can! We were seated right away with menus and our server brought us out waters. We were all too busy chatting so our server had to come back a few times to our table to check if we were ready to order. For drinks, our group got a virgin bloody mary (still filled to the rim with garnishing), mimosas and sangria. I ordered the sangria and was quite tasty. For food, I ordered The Phelps (huge piece of fish deep fried in a batter with seaweed salad and aioli on top). I ate this as an open faced sandwich since it was huge! Their sandwiches are served with a side so I opted for sweet potato fries. The rest of our group ordered the Electric Boogaloo (waffle was okay and didn't have any flavor, breading for chicken thigh had cinnamon and was off-putting, slaw was also weird but somehow works together), Double Mason (asked for no buns due to gluten allergy - patties were super dry but had very good flavor), and steak and eggs. One of the girls in our group has been here for dinner and she preferred their dinner items over brunch. I would give it another try for dinner but there are definitely other brunch places to try around. read more

Decided to take my mom to Scout for brunch last week and we thoroughly enjoyed it. They're located in the Kirkwood neighborhood in Decatur. I found street parking nearby. To drink, my mom had a mimosa and I got the sangria. Both drinks were strong and delicious. For starters, we ordered the shrimp dip and the smoked wings. Both apps were scrumptious! For my entree I chose the steak and eggs. I was able to swap out the fingerling potatoes with fries. The steak wasn't exceptional and I probably would order something else when I return. The fries and eggs were cooked to perfection though. My mom enjoyed her chicken and waffles. Service was a bit shaky because the waitress disappeared for long periods of time, but we didn't complain because the service industry as a whole is having a rough time. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to returning soon. read more

Giving it two stars because our waitress was really good and attentive. We have been to Scout a few times and have generally been satisfied with everything but today the food was awful. I ordered the short rib entree and the mashed potatoes were very gluey and tasted like sour milk, the meat was dry and bland and the sauce was completely broken, greasy and still bland. My husband ordered the lamb chops which were overcooked, greasy and his whole meal was also bland. My daughter's grilled cheese and french fries were the only things that were even just ok. Idk what's going on there these days but we left disappointed and hungry. read more

Scout is the perfect spot for brunch! Street parking. I had in issues getting a spot. It's right across from the fire station. Beautiful inside and outside seating. You can sit at the bar or grab a table. You can make a reservation which we did and were taken care of right away. Friendly staff and clean restrooms! We sat outside and got to enjoy the beautiful weather today. It was perfect. Love the atmosphere here. I had the Griddled Salmon Burger which was simply delish I devoured it..lol. My friend has the Ribeye French dip which she loved of course. Bloody Mary was delish. They made me a lemon drop which was perfect and not the spot for such a nice sat. I sooo enjoyed this place and will definitely come back. read more

Okay, I am really impressed by this place and can't wait to come back! I met few coworkers here for happy hour and snacks in the early evening on a Wednesday. When we arrived, the patio was almost empty so we were lucky enough to snag a table there. By the time we left, every table on the patio was full. Maybe it was a combination of the company, or the service, or the sampling of food we tried, but everything was on-point here and I'm kinda mad I didn't discover this place sooner! I tried a Pimm's Cup cocktail and it was a perfectly crafted delicious concoction - so good that my coworker tried a sip and ordered one of her own! We had a variety of appetizers - battered cauliflower, soft pretzel bites, fried potatoes, and spicy fries. With the spicy fries, our server surprised us with her favorite condiment - the house blue cheese aioli. Y'ALL. I don't even like blue cheese but this stuff was PHENOMENAL. I couldn't get enough and I immediately went home to research recipes. Our server was AWESOME (sorry, I don't remember your name) - pink hair, great attitude. I'm really looking forward to coming back for more delicious eats. From what I've tried so far, my next experience is guaranteed to be a great one! read more

I don't know how I've never heard of this place! It's only 7 minutes away from me in the Decatur neighborhood. Parking is along the street (easy and free).

The food, service and atmosphere were perfect for us. Parking a little confusing but we were able to figure it out.

We'd been looking forward to visiting Scout based on recommendations from friends, so we were a little disappointed with our experience. The menu isn't particularly interesting but we found a couple of items that appealed, so we gave it a try. On a Saturday night in December, we'd expected it to be busy and bustling, but it really wasn't. Great atmosphere and had several empty tables. They didn't seem staffed for a full restaurant, so perhaps this was expected. Once seated, we waited over 10 minutes for anyone to come and take drink orders, but service did speed up after that. Unfortunately, the food was good but not great, and we were pretty disappointed with the temperature of the food. We wouldn't go out of our way to visit again, but hope that our experience was because of the season and perhaps would be better another time. read more

Arrived at 4 on a Sunday. Service was slow and spotty throughout. Took some time to get waters, a drink menu. The beer battered cauliflower appetizer was fantastic. Other appetizers like the deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts were OK. Burger was supposed to be medium but was beyond well done - burned in spots, which I had to scrape off. And it took a loooong time just to get some ketchup - had to ask for it twice. Water glasses were never refilled. Lava cake was OK. But they hadn't cleaned all our meal plates before dessert arrived. read more

Went for our friends 29th birthday! They had a menu with different options preselected. The restaurant is large with in door and outdoor seating. It was a lovely warm Sunday and we were in the room between the patio and main area. Perfect for privacy but still in the mix. The food was delicious! I enjoyed the wings and lobster Mac and cheese. The lobster was very fresh I could smell the ocean lol but the taste did not miss ! For dessert I had the cheesecake and it was great. Dogs were on the patio with pup parents dining. The staff wore masks and provide hand sanitizer. The bathroom was clean. You can see into the kitchen. There is a lot of seating styles: large party booths, long tables, sectioned off area and outdoor. My bill was around $90 with gratuity for a party, two courses and dessert. read more

Neighborhood restaurant to grab a bite to eat. The parking was very tricky for me. My GPS said I arrived and I'm like confused. Once I visited the website to look at the photo of the building I finally found the restaurant. Free street parking or park behind the building in the complimentary parking lot. I met a friend here for Sunday brunch. It was easy to make a reservation - which I recommend. I was greeted with a warm welcome. Our waitress was Sonya who was attentive. The manager stopped by our table to see if we needed anything. I was not too thrilled with the brunch menu. We started with a hot shrimp dip that was just ok and the shrimp were hard to find (if there even were any in it). I pieced together my meal that included smoke wood bacon, grits and a biscuit. The grits lacked flavor; the bacon was nice and crunchy; the biscuit was fluffy. My friend devoured his hanger steak. read more
