    This is tucked away in a small strip mall on 81st Avenue in Dyer, Indiana. I visited on a Saturday with a group of 5 sorority sisters from my college years. (30+ years later, our sisterhood is still going strong!) Anyway, It was 5 of us in the group, however one of our group members regularly frequents this restaurant a few times a month. She spoke really highly of the food, so we agreed to meet there. The Scrambled Diner is a very small establishment, with seating for approximately 50 people. (My number is only an estimate). Upon our 11:30 a.m. arrival, we were greeted in a rather large waiting area and told there was a 30 minute wait. The wait time was accurate, and upon being seated, we were greeted by a very cheerful waitress, who readily recognized my friend, greeting her "You are back today!" We placed our orders from a selection of breakfast and lunch items to choose from. I had the Rueben with Fries. Two others had the Lobster Roll with Fries. One ordered the French Toast Breakfast with Bacon and Eggs. Lastly, one other person from our group had the Chorizo Skillet. The food was delivered in approximately 20 minutes. All of the sauces, such as ketchup and hot sauce, are homemade. My only drawback was that I originally planned to order a skillet. The menu advertised eggs "done the way you like them." However, when I asked for my eggs to be cooked "fresh, country scrambled" or "country scrambled," I was told they could not do that for me. It was disappointing to hear, despite the menu suggesting they could prepare to my liking. This oversight impacted my dining experience, causing me to opt out of ordering breakfast altogether. (For those who do not know, "fresh, country scrambled" simply means unbeaten eggs. So, one would crack the egg directly over the skillet and cook until the egg whites are partially set, then gently fold the eggs a couple of times until they are fully cooked. The end result is bigger chunks of egg white in the scrambled eggs, so you can enjoy the flavor of each component of the egg). With the request of some mustard, I enjoyed my Rueben and fries. If I come back, I want to try the homemade cinnamon rolls.

    The food was good. There was a lot of different options. The only negative is it's pretty pricey. Also the space is quite small. Not good for large groups of people or people who are sensitive to noise and space. The service was good.

    This is a very popular breakfast spot and my husband and I have stopped by a few times on the weekend, but the wait has been too long. It's small and quaint. The coffee is strong and delicious. They have an interesting menu and good specials. We did not have to wait very long today, however, once we were seated, it took a server just about 15 minutes to acknowledge us. By the time we received our food, we had been sitting at our table for an hour. The waitress said something off the cuff that turned us off. The food was good, but when you compare it to the price and the wait, not worth it. I don't believe we will be back.

    This is the best breakfast place hands down! The hashbrowns are crispy and perfect. And my favorite is the veggie breakfast burrito

    I won't be back. For starters why is it only portraits of white kids? It's feeling like they cater to only them. I order the French toast club. The eggs were not scrambled with cheese they slapped American cheese right on top. I would have preferred them scrambled in the cheese. French toast was good. They were huge! I'm sure two people could share. The turkey sausage was awful omg it tastes like meatless something. I've never had turkey sausage like that. My man had the 2 egg breakfast and a side of short stack pancakes. He had me try the pancake I'm not a pancake person but it had a pepper after taste. He also had ketchup for his hash brown and it tasted like sugar free. I also didn't like how they don't have a meal option for pancakes, meat and eggs. That should be one meal. It was not worth $50 whatsoever and I will not be back. If you are looking for something to satisfy your taste buds it's for sure not this place.

    Fantastic. I had the Boston skillet which is seafood (crab and shrimp over hash browns and spinach) with 2 eggs on top. This dish was dope. Cooked perfectly and plentiful portions of seafood and hash browns, I was in heaven eating this. My wife had the banana fosters pancakes and she loves her dish too. Service was excellent and prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Top notch place

    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.

    This is probably the cutest doughnut shop I have ever seen. My son and I stopped by on a Saturday…read moreearly afternoon for some doughnuts. They didn't have a vast selection but the doughnuts were good. Have I had better, yes, but overall they were delicious and based with the vibe this is a great little spot for a sweet treat.

    I called ahead since one reviewer (complaint) just said the times on the website and the business…read morewere different. I have not found the pages where it said it opens at 6. Everything I see says 7. I'm going to leave an actual review . I didn't try their ice cream or drinks. The overall look of the place is super cute. I'm sitting on a clamshell type chair right now and don't want to leave, it's super comfortable. I'm also listening to good ol' Guns and Roses so my Gen X heart is happy. I bought a few of their specialty doughnuts they are 3.85 each and I bought some regular yeast, and cake doughnuts, those are 2.99 each. They have specials for a dozen like everywhere. They were so very nice! I went when it was slow. The two people working were very helpful. All in all I bought 6 doughnuts. 1. Nutella 2. Boston cream 3. Caramel cheesecake 4. Pistachio old fashioned 5. Blueberry old fashioned 6. Chocolate frosted I ate the Boston Cream while writing this. It's a pretty good doughnut and super fresh. The biggest thing I noticed about the doughnut was that it was sweet but really not sugary if that makes sense. (Now they are playing Journey! Don't stop believing! Yes cliche white chick singing the chorus like a mad woman) it was just perfect for a cup of coffee. I really liked my choice. I'll be curious what my hubby thinks when he tries the old fashioned ones and when we split the other specialty doughnuts!!! Time to go home and I'm exiting listening to Aerosmith Dream On. I'm digging the vibe of this place.
