Don't eat here!!! As soon as I walked in employees were preparing sauce cups at the host stations with no gloves!!! When they were doing this they were cleaning outside tables picking up dirty plates, answering phone and then back to handling food. Also they were getting utensils ready and touching the top of the utensils not the bottoms with no gloves. When I sat down I order hot water with lemon just to somewhat clean my fork after seeing that. They have a chef there with no beard guard saw him twice touch his face and rub his nose! After I put in my order and saw that I decided to leave. Who ever the owner is PLEASE train your staff with food handling class. If they have gone through it make them do it again. Also have your staff once in a while sweep floor food was all over the place I had egg on my shoe when I left the place. The whole operation was disgusting read more

This is by far my favorite breakfast spot. It's not easy to be unique in the very crowded world of breakfast joints. But they do separate themselves. Usually a line on weekends, but definitely worth the wait. Coffee is strong and a great start. The jam is home made and amazing. Always start by hearing about the specials. Usually worth a shot. Omelets are fantastic. Breakfast potato's seasoned to perfection. Bacon is sooo good. But, if breakfast isn't your thing, you can eat off the lunch menu. The only you may not be able to order is the soup. Certainly should be on your breakfast rotation read more

There food is very tasty well "seasoned " and come out in a timely manner my waitress was very nice 10/10 would recommend

Small place, maybe 12 tables, but the menu and quality of food is off the charts good! Everything we ordered was homemade. My Black and Blue burger was no frozen hockey puck. It was a hand formed burger. Hand cut fries. Omelettes the size of a football because of the quality ingredients tucked inside the tender eggs. My friend ordered the Blueberry Pancakes and raved about them. We will be back often! read more

Sooo I was meeting a friend as was the other lady waiting. We were told we could not be seated til our other person. In our party arrived. No problem on a very busy weekend But ...all kinds of tables open ON THIS TUESDAY AT 1230. No enjoying a cup of coffee while I wait. REALLY. Have been a loyal customer for years. Rethinking read more

Best Breakfast Burrito I have ever had and I eat them everyday!!! The homemade Sausage is unbelievably delicious. If you are within hours of this place get in your car, plane, train or sail boat and get here! You will not regret the experience. The only thing better than the food,was my sever Jen she was so nice! read more

Scrambled Diner - Great Hot Sauce and I am not really into Hot Sauce. The Scrambled Cafe in Dyer, Indiana is AMAZING! Fantastic homemade Sausage! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

This place is amazing. Made from scratch breakfast dishes that leave you wanting more. The banana foster pancakes are so delicious. We've ordered them to-go a few times and it was perfect. They individually packaged all the ingredients to easily assemble the dish (& so it tasted fresh out of the kitchen). Definitely add a side of the cinnamon bun. It is so delicious. read more

Only been once so far but definitely going back. It's been a long time since I found a good breakfast place and they have good lunch items too. Check the board for the specials because they are not on the menu. My daughter had the brunch burger, she loved it. I tried the lobster roll. I've only seen them on tv and the bun made the sandwich. I want to try several things on the menu, can't wait to go back. I'm going to leave it at 4 stars until I go back a couple times. Small place so u might have a wait but it's worth it. read more

I will eat everything on this amazing menu! Every server we've had is an absolute delight and the atmosphere is perfectly cozy'

My favorite breakfast place!! Food is consistently great and the service is nice

They can't miss here. The food is always hot and fresh, the portions are better than expected! I've had a skillet each time, phenomenal! The pancakes are perfect every time and so delicious! Big Daddy Skillet made my mouth sooo happy - the blue cheese was plentiful! Boston Skillet had the best cooked seafood I've had for breakfast! read more

Absolutely loved the food! Amazing breakfast! Some in our group said it was the best they'd ever had! The French toast sandwich was a total hit. Same for their scrambled skillet. Homemade jams and all! Would totally recommend. read more

I visited for the first time recently and the food was delicious! It's a smaller selection of menu items but they've got a lot of creative breakfast/ brunch items that sounded good. I hear that this place is always filled up on the weekends, so perhaps the staff is accustomed to needing to move customers along quickly. It did feel like even on the weekday morning though the staff was trying to get people to hurry up and leave, despite there being empty tables available. Not a recommended location if you want to take a leisurely brunch to catch up with a friend or for large groups. The food is good though, so I'd probably order takeout in the future. read more

Love this local spot in Dyer! Amazing portions, flavorful, and food comes out fast! The hostess and waitresses are amazing everyone is so nice! I've never had a bad experience! Even when there's a wait, you'll still have an amazing experience. I love the Cajun skillet, the bayou skillet, and the French toast club all YUMMY! Great for you and a friend! Would suggest calling ahead for large groups! Highly recommended! read more

Great service, fantastic food and owners that are very present! Been coming here since they opened and can't remember ever having anything short of delicious. It's crowded on Saturdays and Sundays but it's definitely worth the wait. If they can make it from scratch, they will... All the way down to the ketchup and hot sauce, aka Scram Sauce. read more

Their hash browns are awesome! Is it weird to crave their homemade hot sauce and ketchup? Ok, right. Well with the hash browns it's a perfect combo. Egg and omelette offerings are tasty especially the bleu cheese wrap sans bacon. I make my own omelette mostly as their ingredients are fresh but I also like the blackened veggie....unique offering. They also now have a drive thru, there is often a long wait due to the small space so this is a welcome addition. read more

The food is amazing! My favorite is the Chorizo Omelette. The staff is friendly and they work so fast. Sometimes there a short wait to get in, but it's so worth the wait. Omg I almost forget to mention the homemade delicious jam, be sure to try it. read more

Absolutely delicious! Holy cannoli! Found this place on yelp and it is amazing. I ordered The Boston Skillet and a cinnamon roll which did not disappoint! The smell alone was great. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which was very filling and smelled phenomenal! My husband also ordered a half order of the biscuit and gravy ( A HALF ORDER IS ENOUGH FOR 2!!) which he said may be the best he's ever had! Definitely a must visit when you come to IN. read more

All I can say is that I thoroughly enjoy spending my money for brunch here any chance I get. I love that you can really tell that the ingredients are fresh. The menu items are reasonably priced as well. As for the portions, you get more out of the omelets rather than the skillets. The omelets come with a side while the skillets do not. Although, the portions are rather large already. Personally, the portions are good for two but that's okay because I can take home leftovers. Don't forget to check out the specials too! Last time I was here, they had snickers pancakes. Service has always been fast and the severs are always friendly. I'm seriously excited every time someone mentions this place and I can't wait for my next brunch here! By the way... HOMEMADE APPLE BUTTER! I live for their apple butter! You have to try it with some English muffins!! read more

This place is amazing. I've been here a couple times now and can confidently say that everything on the menu is delicious both breakfast and lunch. Service is very fast and polite. The hash browns are cooked perfectly which make it a must try. I had a breakfast burrito that was amazing...couldn't finish it as it was a big serving. My friends got the lobster mac n cheese and said it was great. The biscuits and gravy are also the I've had. They also have a wide variety of skillets and sandwiches which are worth a try. I'll definitely keep coming here. Wish it was a little larger inside though, it's kind of cramped. read more

We went on a Sunday morning- the wait was 55 minutes. Because the reviews were so good, we waited. I have to say, it was worth the wait. There aren't many good breakfast places in NWI. This was definitely one of the good ones! They gave coffee as you waited! No other restaurant around NWI has ever offered a beverage while you waited. The place was small and cozy. read more

Scrambled Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

We were looking for a Sunday brunch on a cold March day, with fairly low expectations. On arrival, our low expectations appeared to be met as this was the end Condo in a nondescript strip mall. Once we were seated at a table and took a look at the menu however we started to change our minds, and when the food arrived the transformation was complete. Our table ordered a variety of skillets which the waitress was happy to individualize from what was listed in the menu. The food was fresh, innovative, and delicious. My skillet included hashbrowns with just the right blend of crispiness and warm potato, a nice mix of vegetables topped by two perfectly done eggs. Coffee was refilled adequately, and the other skillets and French toast eaten at our table were also very much appreciated. All in all, a great Indiana start to the day. read more

Great breakfast restaurant! The food was worth the wait! Fresh veggies in omelets, homemade jam for toast, awesome bacon and hashbrowns! Great service! Our new "go to" spot for breakfast! Yum! On another note, the diner is limited in seating, so I would not recommend for groups larger than 8. There was a constant flow of customers and many waiting to get in. read more

Best breakfast spot ever! They do an amazing job of creating new specials and yet are consistent with the flavors of their base menu. The staff is always cheerful and knowledgeable and go above and beyond with customer service. Will be going back for years to come. read more

I had the Boston skillet, my usual. It was awesome. I love seafood and it's got it all, over some very tasty homemade hashbrowns with cheese and two eggs over the top whatever way you like them.Sat at the bar and got quite the show watching them prepare all the food. Service is always good, been there several times, never had an issue. Everything is fresh and homemade. If you're going with the few people expect to wait awhile pretty much any time of the morning or afternoon, but it's so worth the wait. If you like a good breakfast you have to try this place, they have the best. read more

Everyone's reviews of The Scrambled really show how this little cafe lives up to the hype, but I think I'm going to present the single most important facet of this place that truly makes it the best breakfast place in the region, if not Indiana: It is a non-Greek restaurant. Now, the owners and cooks could be Greek for all I know; that's not what I meant. This isn't the type of diner that is the equivalent to EVERY SINGLE breakfast joint in the area. For lack of a better term, The Scrambled doesn't prepare the exact same food and menu that The Commander, Round the Clock, Sophia's, The Wheel, Johnel's, WHEREVER have. You're not going to find any Sysco food service stuff here. I think it was Steve Dolinsky who described this place as "beyond the predictable" and that's exactly what it is. You'll find some ordinary menu items that cater to the NWI people that don't like to stray from their Greek restaurant norm, but you'll also find the type of dishes that place this cafe in with the trendier restaurants that Chicago elitists pursue. (The Scrambled can give Yolk a run for its money any day of the week.) They use fresh, local ingredients and pretty much everything (if not everything) is homemade---right down to the fresh preserves and foccacia. My orchard omelet, made with fresh apple butter, ham, and cheddar cheese was served with three heavy strips of thick bacon, a deliciously unique nest of angel hair-thin hash browns and thick toast with fresh preserves. Priced at $8, I thought it was a little steep until the food came out. The portions could easily feed two people, but the taste and homemade quality of the food are worth more than the price. If this restaurant reserved a little spot on north Halsted in Chicago, they would easily be able to price their plates at $15 a pop. It's a VERY small restaurant--sort of a thorn in their side--because it's packed ALL of the time and I think they could have a hugely successful business if they expanded into the vacant properties next to them in the strip mall. But that's not really their fault. They're new and I have a feeling that with their success already, they'll be expanding soon. I gave this review one less star because of their decision to go cash only. I know that they're trying to save money and some portion of their sales go to a charity or something, but this is the one mistake that business owners everywhere make. They think they're saving money on credit card fees, but think about all of the business they're LOSING by not accepting them. If I was able to use my credit card the day I went, I know that for a fact, I would have bought a sandwich to go. I have a hunch that in the future, they'll start accepting credit cards. Plus, they have an ATM in there, so it's not like you'll ever be strapped for cash. But the moment their business opens up to credit cards, this review will be upped one star. read more

Not sure where to begin, from the fact that the wait was way long. 3 people, 30+ minutes wait time, at least there was free coffee... to reiterate a previous reviewer "coffee was bad" I was not a fan of it either. We finally get seated and get ready to order. As we wait I look around and; I don't think there were more than ohhh 9 or 10 tables, most of which were for 2. That's one reason the wait took so long I guess. The dining room felt crowded, I mean there was room but, with a small area it seemed a lot more cramped than it probably was. On to the meal, got coffee... still not a fan. I wanted biscuits n gravy, they had no biscuits... I ordered "The Garbage" skillet and a side order of cinnamon rolls, they had no cinnamon rolls... one person got "Uncle Ray's" omelette the other I was with got an omelette as well(peppers, onions, goat cheese and mushrooms). So here we are, waiting... again... another 20 minutes gone, math time- 30+mins + 20mins = 50+ minutes . Damn, Chicago steakhouses are faster, even WITHOUT a reservation. OK OK, maybe I was just hungry n didn't like waiting and needed to vent but, that was too long. Food comes out, looks great! Large serving size too. I started with toast and Apple butter, really tasty. Dug into "The Garbage" . In general it was OK at best. The scrambled eggs on top were like any scrambled eggs you can get anywhere, scrambled. Chili was lacking seasoning it was pretty bland, salt helped though, two shakes of it. The "burger patty"... it was cooked ground beef again, needed seasoning. Apparently there was hashed potatoes in there somewhere, I didn't see em, maybe they got mixed in the chili or something. I tried a bite of the omelettes, both were pretty good. Goat cheese was especially tasty. Veggies were cooked well with just enough crunch left. All in all though I'd probably go back, at least to see if the wait is shorter and the coffee better. read more

Being the LA girl that I am, being in Indiana was rough on my Vegan tendencies. Phew. Been then we found Scrambled Diner! Healthy options! (and not so healthy ones...) They were able to apply my request to not use butter or oil in my dish without an attitude. Made mama very happy. The owners are in there, day in and day out... and you can tell that truly care about the customer. Huge portions! Always took stuff to go. The weekends get pretty hectic, but if you can snag a table, you will be set. read more

Hello FOOD SNOB here. Nice change from your regular breakfast joints. This place is for real. I had the Healthy Skillet, one of many on the menu. Everything was fresh, spinach, real sauteed mushrooms not canned. With 2 eggs on top of Great Hash Brown Potatoes. My wife had the Irish Skillet with Sauerkraut and real Corn Beef again not canned. I,m not a big Pancake eater but my daughters was fluffy and tasty. Good size portions too. This is a Neat Little place to go for Breakfast or Lunch. Will have to try the latter next time. If there was something to complain about it would have to be the price of coffee at $2.25, but it sure was good and hit the spot. read more

The more I come here, the more I love it. I've now established that my favorite thing on the planet is their blueberry maple French toast. I don't really go in for sweet breakfasts, but I ordered this on my birthday and it was the best ever. French toast, covered in fresh blueberries, topped by homemade whipping cream and the maple syrup on the side so you can drench (or not) to your heart's content. At first I wasn't so sure about this blueberries and maple syrup thing, but you should just dive in because it's great. I also like their breakfast wraps. The veggie one is really good, but I always run out of salsa before I run out of wrap (so be sure to ask for extra). The orchard wrap sounded odd to me at first (cheddar, ham, and apple butter?) but it really is a great combination. The biscuits and gravy are not at all like I was expecting, but they're even better than your usual biscuits and gravy. The gravy is more like a cheesy, spicy, creamy gravy with (I think) turkey sausage. It's really delicious. But I still think the thing that makes this place is the hashbrowns. They do the basics so wonderfully. So butterfully. So crispily. read more

Would love to give 5 Stars but a couple of things stood out. Pro: They make their own Breakfast sausage, ketchup and jams. We had their skillets for breakfast, which they were amazing! Server was very nice and attentive. Great price paid, and nice size servings. Con: Went for breakfast on Sunday morning (at 945). Finally got seated at 1020am. Seems like this is the norm here. Wait for food was long. People who came in after us, received theirs orders before ours. We had 3 people in our party, and the other guests had 4 or more. Restaurant is on the smaller side, they definitely need to expand. read more

This diner was absolutely fantastic. The waitresses were extremely friendly and service was quick. The food was VERY tasty. I had the bananas Foster pancakes and they were delicious. The skillet was large and filling. I will definitely be back!! Go give it a try. read more

Scrambled Diner - Bananas Foster Pancakes and the Chorizo Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

The Scrambled is a true treat for Region foodies. Cage-free, local eggs; untypical breakfast creations; and homemade EVERYTHING, from cinnamon rolls to the jams and ketchup to the sausage and corned beef and chorizo. All of this without any yuppiness, which would be a big turnoff considering the area. The portions are hearty, the coffee is strong and above average quality, the service couldn't be much better. As long as you remember to bring cash (or not - there's an atm inside), and don't mind an inevitable wait, you'll be in for the best breakfast experience in NWI. On my most recent visit I had the French Toast Club: french toast stacked with eggs your style, sugar hickory bacon, and your style cheese - asiago in my case. It was great. The cinnamon rolls are truly unbelievable. The Monkey Pancakes, the most indulgent thing on the menu, are to be marveled at. I was wavering between 4 and 5 stars for The Scrambled, because while it is undoubtedly the best breakfast place in the Region, it's not quite perfect. Disagree if you will, but I believe there's a line when it comes to portion sizes - sometimes they are just too large. Scrambled Diner is right on the border of this line... I went here with a large group and after everyone had eaten themselves sick, it made me nauseous to stare at all the half eaten, sauce-drenched food still sitting on the table. At least, as another reviewer pointed out, it's not all Sysco food service crap - it's actually a much higher quality, which is somewhat a redeeming quality. If you love breakfast, or just food, and you're in the Region, do not miss Scrambled! read more

I'll keep this short and to the point: Due to construction I had to head through Dyer, IN on the way to Chicago one day. I was hungry and looking for any breakfast place but this happened to be closest on my detour. Wow. Completely unexpected. This place was incredible. No offense to Dyer, IN but... I would never expect a restaurant with food of this caliber in a small town. Dear Chef and/or owner, if you are reading this and ever want to expand to Chicago, Indianapolis or Fort Wayne please contact me as my network of investors would happily support your expansion plans. Regards, Abhi read more

My wife and I ordered the Healthy Skillet, and asked if cheese could be added. The waitress was very friendly and explained any item could be made any way we choose. The food was excellent, roasted tomatoes really made the Healthy Skillet. This is a very nice upscale breakfast restaurant. At first I was disappointed they only accept cash, but after discovering a percentage of all their sales is donated to cancer research, I am more than happy to bring cash. The employees wear nice looking t-shirts, and I like the black hats the cooks wear. Everything was very clean and organized, the atmosphere is relaxed and soothing. The owners, and all help is very friendly and attentive. Very quaint decor with the owners cute kids framed throughout the dining room. The Dyer area really needed a nice breakfast restaurant, they have my business. read more

Pros: Great Food, and I mean great. Fun, different menu for all tastes. Cons: long waits as the dining area is small, especially on weekends, and very dirty bathrooms. Love the food, will be back. read more

I almost wonder if these blissful reviews are written by those who simply love the idea everything here is homemade - but are not reviewing the food based on it's merits. I've tried The Scrambled Diner - for breakfast - a few times and find it utterly mediocre. This does not take into account the viciously long wait time because it is not their fault. The Veggie Scram skilled I had most recently was utterly floating in a quarter-inch of water which made it most unappetizing. The hash browns are crispy on the exterior, but are mushy in the middle which resonates a mashed potato experience. Now add this already mushy potato mix to a plate of water and well - you get the mental picture. They also pride themselves on their homemade sausage. I tried the turkey sausage and it resembled fried patties of ground turkey w/ some spices thrown in. Which is exactly how it tasted. Extraordinary in the sense of uniqueness, but just not very good - at all. A "try 2 bites" and leave the rest on the plate experience. On a positive note the bread and homemade jam was delicious. This was the standout of the meal. Bread and jam. Not enough to send the teeter totter in the "wow - this is a great place for breakfast" direction. With so many breakfast choices in the area I can see the "feel good" appeal a restaurant such as The Scrambled Diner caters to. Just about everything is homemade! Which is great - unique even - but it is not executed well. read more

I had stopped going to Scrambled Diner for a long while because twice before I had a hair in my food! I recently decided to give it a try once more and I never took my food. To my surprise, in the middle of a pandemic they were working with masks, but without gloves, and the space they were working in wasn't even clean. Then they charged me for someone else's food and tried to make me think it was my order until I asked for an itemized bill because I know there was no way my bill could've been that much. The cashier was upset that I pointed it out and snatched my receipt from me. Because of the poor service and uncleanliness, I didn't even take the food. I asked for a refund. I'll not ever go there or recommend it ever again! Sadly, there is not a rating below 1 star. read more

The French toast club is amazing! Hash browns were like none other...look forward to going back. Well worth the 45 min wait! read more
