Best breakfast I have had in the Region in quite some time. My brother took me out to breakfast last Saturday morning when I was up visiting him in Crown Point. This is his favorite local breakfast joint, and for good reason. I ordered my go-to breakfast for when I am trying a new spot, bacon, eggs and hash browns. It also came with an english muffin and house-made jam. The eggs and potatoes were very good. Not sure how they shred the taters, but they were the fluffiest hash browns I have ever had. Very good. Only part of the meal I did not enjoy was the bacon. A bit too thick and chewy for my liking, even though I asked for it to be cooked "crisp", it was not crisp. Can totally overlook the bacon (and order a different breakfast meat next time). Service was friendly and fast. We got there before 8am, so we did not have to wait for a table. By the time we left, there were folks standing in the doorway waiting to be seated. Will definitely be back next time I am in NW Indiana. read more

Excellent place. Food is amazing. All the servers are helpful and friendly. Love this place

This place is AMAZING! A well oiled machine. An open kitchen. There's 3 cooks (men) who do not talk to each other. Each reads the ticket and each knows their obligation to make that food. I had the Smokey Forest skillet. A generous amount of black forest ham, fresh mushrooms and smoked gouda with hash browns. My poached eggs were absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked. My husband had the cajun skillet. Good kick to it! We will be back. read more

Loved this place, great service and very impressed with homemade ketchup & hot sauce. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Asked for eggs over easy they might as well if been well done. Coffee service went by 3 times before they asked if I wanted more I'm in the customer service and I know that coming to this restaurant Audrey the server was not customer friendly I will not be back nor will I leave a tip read more

Everything is from scratch, but the only downside is no mimosas. If you could BYOB, it would be 100 stars. Even still, they deserve more than five stars. Yummy! read more

This is not your typical breakfast joint... If I remember correctly they make everything themselves... even hot sauce and jellies and ketchup. I always order the same thing... a healthier skillet. That's what it's called. Eggs any way you want 'em, spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms over some hashbrowns. I always ask for green onions and eat it with hot sauce. So yum. And the service... super sweet. I was here earlier today to have breakfast with a friend. We are girls of great faith. We pray. Not only for our food but for our time together and what not. I'm saying... it's not a quick 5 second prayer. Not that we're holding a full out prayer meeting... Anyhow, just as I was closing my eyes to pray I noticed the waitress coming to our table with some additional plates. I totally expected her to place them on our table quietly like most places would do (which is more than acceptable). But when I had opened my eyes there were no plates. She had waited until we were done. Seriously. It's the small things like this that make a big difference to this girl. read more

The service was great, we were sat in a good time span, the waitress was friendly, the food was ok.

Great stuff, great food, great staff. I'll be sure to upgrade the stars next time we go.

Our regular place was too crowded, so we happened upon Scrambled. Yay!!!! Food was super hot and fresh. Also got the corned beef hash. It was the best I've ever had. Only negative is that it's way too small for such amazing food. read more

I love the breakfast there. Usually do one of their specials. I have a wide variety to choose from and so far everything I tried has been awesome. read more

Scramble Diner is not just an amazing breakfast place. No matter what you order you will get more then enough food. Everything is homemade down to their sausage and bacon. Ask for their specials, usually they will have an amazing skillet or something special like Taffy Apple pancakes or even a lobster roll. Definitely must try. Plan on a wait it you are dining in, between their take out window with fast pick up time is the route we go. read more

Scrambled never disappoints. The only downside is that there is always a wait because it's so delicious. Best time to come is early, as in before 8am or after 11 for brunch. If you hit the busy window, the wait is at least an hour. I love their seasonally dishes and I seriously wait all year for their pumpkin pancakes. One of the highlights of my Fall! Their food is always creative and scrumptious and I love trying their plates of the month. I have had dishes that I did not like as well as others, but never a bad dish. Also you must try the lobster Mac and cheese! Decadent! Homemade ketchup and spreads, thick cut bacon and great hash browns, this place is NWI hidden gem. read more

Scrambled Diner - Biscuits and gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

One of my very favorite spots ever. I absolutely love the spicy shrimp diavalo and the Boston skillet the seasonal pancakes are amazing. I always enjoy my food. Never disappointed read more

We waited 45 minutes to be seated . For two of us it was over $50.00 for breakfast! For all the positive reviews I expected a lot more.

My expectations were high ! Seeing all these amazing reviews.. First of all first thing I noticed how the place looks Run down inside and the waiters seemed over worked not in a good mood to serve ... finally what made me want to write this review is my girls upgrade their side to fresh fruit $2.50 each more ... to realize after my 2 year old spitting out her fruit saying it tasted nasty . I take a look at the fruit and realize both bowls had mold! Makes me think how fresh the rest of the food is ... Food overall needs flavor and they need better Cutomer Service ... read more

This small diner in Dyer is a hidden gem. The reason for the 4 star rating is the food takes so long to come out! I ordered and receive my meal almost 45 minutes later. This is NOT a breakfast restaurant that you will be running in and out of. The wait for one person was about 20 minutes but the food was good. I would suggest if you have extra time to spare on a Saturday. Everything is a la carte and the skillets did not come with anything which is a bit surprising and disappointing. The skillet however is the best that I have had in a while. read more

This breakfast and brunch restaurant is located in a renovated space that was once occupied by Double Dog Dare Ya (a hot dog joint). The renovated space is comfortable and contemporary. They did a good job of changing the space from a fifties looking soda shop feel of the hot dog joint and changing it to their own style, except for the black and white checkered floor. I had a bananas foster pancake dish which simply was bananas boiled in syrup and served over pancakes with whip cream. It was an "ok" breakfast but it doesn't deserve the name Bananas Foster in the menu title. One thing I don't like about the restaurant was the fact that they don't accept credit or debit. ITS CASH ONLY, They attempt to make you feel like its a good thing not to use plastic. We know that it cost the establishment more to use plastic but its a convenience to the customer. I for one, don't carry much cash on me. I had to limit my order to only the cash I had in my pocket with the thought of the tip as well. Thankfully I had cash on me or I would have been washing the dishes or possibly leaving collateral to go to beggars to use the ATM. They stated, "we're installing an ATM machine," Oh, Thanks so much for charging me an additional $2.50 or more to eat at your establishment and punishing me for using plastic. Overall this is a decent place to eat, if I were in the area between 6-2:30pm which isn't often, I'd would stop in, but I would check to see if I had ENOUGH CASH FIRST. read more

Love it here. It's my go to breakfast/brunch spot. Everything is homemade (including the ketchup and hot sauce). Good portions and fresh food, but I would recommend you ask for things very specifically to your taste. Be detailed about how you want your food done & don't be afraid to ask questions (the staff is great). Highly recommend the lobster roll or burger (add an egg). read more

I eat here sometimes for breakfast. When i do it ends up being pretty good. If you eat breakfast sometimes, give this place a try. read more

I've eaten here twice before and everything was really good. Today, we ordered carry out. The food was only lukewarm when I got home. The order was slightly incorrect. The toast was burnt - not a little overdone, but actually black. Not major things but enough to make for a less than happy eating experience. I know you can do better, Scrambled Diner. It's a shame you don't put your all into carry out orders. read more

Scrambled Diner - Not rye. Not edible. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

I went there with high expectations because I had been told it was well worth the high cost. I have to strongly disagree. I decided to start with coffee and a fresh made cinamon...I'm not sure when it was fresh but it was NOT that day...I couldn't hardly cut thru it with a knife, let alone the taste was very strange...sent it back...my ribeye skillet will save the day, right? NOPE....if it was really ribeye I don't know where it came from, and hash browns, by name, would be crispy and brown right? NOPE, a white soggy mess under some kind of not good meat...the egg on top tasted good ...sent it packin....now, when you are in a place that is charging BIG money you would expect not to ever have to chase down some coffee...NOPE. not here..they walk right by an empty cup at the edge of the table....won't head that way again read more

Delicious lobster roll and nice rolling menu. My family loves to get brunch here. Only downside is it's a small place and there is almost always a wait. read more

The food here is always fresh and delicious never had a bad experience. The Cinnabon and biscuits and gravy are personally some of my favorites around. Really the only downside to scrambled I've noticed is that because it is a rather small building if you don't get there early you can expect long wait times. Other than that this is a pretty great little breakfast diner. read more

My favorite breakfast place. In coming here there are a few things to note... 1. The coffee is not good. 2. The wait to get a seat is long on Sundays! (Church goer central) 3. Everything I have had, I love! 4. They make their sauces and ketchup. 5. Small venue, small menu too I've always gotten my order up fast so I've never had an issue other than waiting for a seat. Occasionally they are out of items you want... Why? It is because it's not a kitchen nightmare. They try to give you the freshest food so if they overstock (like other restaurants) it gets served the next day or gets frozen. Steph is our normal waitress, she's cute, sweet and very bubbly and really gives you a good idea of how good the specials are. The hubby and I had a pulled pork sandwich today and please know if you see it on the menu you need to try it!!! read more

We are from out of town, but always look forward to stopping here when in Crete. They make most of their items in-house ie. ketchup, sausage, hot sauce. The dishes I have ordered have all been TWO meal dishes. The omelets are cooked to perfection as well as the skillets. It is not too big inside, but they do also have outdoor seating which is a plus. We will def be back! read more

I was using the restroom when i heard a knock on the door. I stated that the restroom was in use. A few minutes later i heard someone inserting keys into the bathroom door to unlock it. I proceded to say i was using the restroom currently but they continued to unlock the door. The door opened and an employee proceeded to stare at me while i defecated. He refused to leave untill i whiped and washed my hands. I will be pressing charges read more

My buddy Josh said I needed to check out his favorite breakfast spot. he said I needed to get the French Toast Club. Josh and I are better friends because of it. Everything was thick, not skimpy: the toast, the bacon... We went Saturday morning (10 a.m.) and had a 30 minute wait, but he told me that was to be expected. All employees we interacted with were pleasant, even with their being crazy busy. read more

Scrambled Diner - Clean and homey - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dyer, Indiana

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

I've been working out next to this place for months and and didn't think much of it. I would have never thought to go in. However, I was looking for a place nearby for breakfast and yelp sent me here. That was two years ago and I've continuously come back. The food is fresh and delicious. I've tried several things on the menu and I have not had one bad meal. read more

Love this place & owners! The food is exceptional & clean eating. They treat you like family. Love their food & hospitality!

This was a very delicious breakfast, although not what I would call a "traditional" breakfast. I would classify this as a "gourmet" breakfast at very reasonable prices. My typical breakfast is small, out-of-the-way diners or truck stops. Scrambled Diner is nothing at all like that, which is great, if you're expecting that. After I realized this was a cut above a traditional breakfast, I was able to enjoy the meal. The service was excellent and the quality of the food was great. My breakfast was outstanding. I'd definitely go back when I'm in town now that I know what to expect. read more

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

This is a nice place clean and tidy before you enter the kitchen area. The food is good above average flavorful nice portion size.. Maybe i got to much food i ordered 2 Florentino wraps, tall order of French toast and a cinnamon roll. There online prices said 8 dollars for each item ON AVERGAE. when I go to the take out window they charged me 46 dollars.they did not itemized my bill. Just a 46 dollar charge and a recipe for which they kept. I called back to scrambled diner and asked why my bill was so high the cashier said we raised our prices every thing I order was 12 dollars a piece not 8 dollars. Wow false advertising is shady business practices. The online menu price states 8 dollars. However they can charge you whatever they want at the pick up window.. there reason for unchanging is pandemic,gas prices, food shortages, employee bonuses. That was my experience the 1 day of June 2022. Enjoy 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

This is my favorite place to go for something different for breakfast. It is not your typical breakfast place. Everything is special and has a distinct flair you won't find elsewhere. Good luck getting in though, as this is the most crowded breakfast place I've seen in the region. You can also call ahead and have your breakfast ready for pickup, which is in my opinion the best aspect. Without a doubt, a place you must try if you haven't been here before. 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

This is the best diner in the entire Chicagoland Region! Homemade Ketchup, Awesome Specials, Outstanding Service and Thoughtful Menu Options. Steph is a fantastic server, she solidified my loyalty to this diner. She was helpful, prompt, knowledgable and had a smile the whole time. The greeter was also fantastic as she held the door and offered an immediate friendly greeting. Note: this place is crazy busy on the weekends, but rightfully so. read more
