    Bacon jam Deviled Eggs

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    Cesar Salad

    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.

    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!

    Triple Berry Jam French Toast @tiffhuangry

    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!

    Excellent taste. Even better service. Great value for the price. Parking is the only bad thing that I can say about this place.

    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.

    Deviled Eggs $14!!!

    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.

    Strawberry jam French toast
    Molly L.

    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!

    We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday!! Nice casual spot, with attentive staff and good service. Everyone enjoyed there food with a couple of adjustments. I did have 3 cocktails (screwdrivers) and had no buzz, disappointing. But my burger was delicious! No rushing or time limit while there. We all would return.

In true fashion, of course I got a glass of Guinness. It was perfect! Our server was super friendly and very attentive. She even provided some suggestions based on what the others were looking for. Her name was Olivia! Brick Store also has a full food menu too, but we just came for drinks.

This one is a little bit weird because you have to do certain things to be able to get in. It's not like it's an escape room situation, but at the same time, it's a little active. Not overly active to where you would be taxed when you get there. But you have to go follow some instructions and once you get in it's all gravy! There's a lot of space for table so you can sit in front of the stage or you can sit in the back or the bar is which is also very pristinely kept. Or their ceas behind that. And there's even a bowl of alley somewhere in the cut. It is a really really good spot. The entertainment was on point. They were playing a lot of hits, lot of old school which I appreciate it. Loved it. The drinks were fired. The bartender had a lot of personality and it was super engaging. Just what you want from Superior customer service. I would 101% go back. It was a lot of fun and a really good vibe. We just happened to walk in off of humbug, but I actually might remember reservations next time. Actually sit in the crowd to enjoy the music. Loved it.

We were then notified that our table was ready. It wasn't even 20 minutes, so this was great. The host took us to two seats at the bar. SOS is such a cool island type of vibe. They have so many different tiki cocktails that you can choose from. They are mostly made of rum, but they have a few other ones that are made with different alcohols. Me and my wife both got our own drinks. Hers was a special Valentine's Day themed drink that was on the menu, and mine was one of the tequila/mezcal tiki drinks. Both tasted really good! The presentation was just as good too! You aren't limited to these though, it's a full bar, so you can get whatever you want. They also have a few food options, but very limited. Our bartender, Heather, was super nice as well. My wife had asked (when I went to the restroom) if they did anything for birthdays, since my birthday was a few days prior. She did this cool fire presentation and gave us two little slushie shots. Awesome bartender for sure! SOS is a great place to go for some really fun drinks.
