We ate here for the first time and the food and service were absolutely amazing! Our server, Bret, provided one of the best levels of service we've ever experienced. As first-timers, he gave great recommendations, kept our drinks full, and checked on us several times to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. His jokes and easygoing demeanor were the icing on the cake! When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about an hour, but it ended up being closer to 30 minutes, which was great. The food was definitely worth the wait. Everything was delicious, super filling, and came out quickly. I can absolutely see why they're rated the best breakfast in Knoxville. We'll definitely be back -- and we'd love to have Bret as our server again! read more

We stopped here for breakfast after landing in Knoxville, and it was a great way to start the day. The wait time was about 20 minutes, which wasn't bad at all, and we were able to wait inside in a comfortable area. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated, which made the whole experience feel a bit more special. Service was almost excellent--very attentive and friendly--and our food came out fairly quickly after we ordered. Most importantly, everything we had was absolutely delicious. Definitely a solid breakfast spot if you're in the area! read more

Scrambled Jake's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I absolutely LOVE this place!!! The atmosphere is perfectly decorated for a special breakfast spot. The service can be hit or miss if it's busy, but our waitress, Ashley, yesterday was superb!!! The reason for the 3 star review is because I always order the Gouda sausage and it's been taken off the menu. It's truly one of the reasons I eat at Scrambled Jake's! Please bring the Gouda back!!! I'll pay the higher price read more

scrambled jake's more like scrambled eggs. There french toast had me feeling like lebron james going for a SLAM DUNK. The syrup was like my heart pulsating. The only thing was that the orange juice made my toungue feel like i was getting roasted and toasted in an air fryer. read more

Super tasty! We were headed to a different breakfast spot in Knox, but saw the reviews online for Scrambled Jakes and changed course. So glad we did! We can't wait to come back and try some more dishes. A lot of different options looked great. The sonora scrambler was super flavorful and the cinnamon roll was huge! On top of that, our sever was top notch. She made sure we had everything we needed at all times. read more

This is almost always a staple of my trips to Knoxville. Yes you almost always can expect to have a wait but you can join the online waitlist ahead of time to help some. We've always had great experiences here with friendly wait staff. The Bloody Mary was a solid and delicious start without over jazzing with the decor of stuff in it. The French toast was light but filling and is always a classic. The cinnamon rolls are massive and very indulgent with a lot of sweetness. The star of the show this morning was the Naan breakfast pizza which was savory and flavorful tackling everything I wanted in what the idea of a breakfast pizza could be. read more

I got the Pineapple Express -- which is berries, pineapple, and yogurt. It was delicious, but HUGE. It is enough for 2 people to share. And, if you are eating anything else, it is enough for 3 or 4 as a side. My co-diners had an omelet and they were very pleased. The waitress continually stopped by to refresh coffee. And, of course, I took a Sin-o-Man roll to go. read more

First visit to this place. I arrived at 7am and was one of the first customers. Very comfortable, homelike, atmosphere. Fire was going, the smells were amazing, and I was starving. I went with the All In Omelet with the hashbrown casserole. The food was cooked perfectly and arrived very quickly. I also ordered a side of grits that were creamy and cooked correctly. The staff was incredible without being overwhelming. Highly recommend. read more

We stopped by again since my husband and cousin like this place. This time I got an omelette with potatoes and it was okay. I could have used more cheese in it. The kids shared a monkey waffle with bananas and chocolate on top. My husband got avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. The avocado on the toast did not taste fresh made, it tasted more like the kind you get from a container. It was ok but not amazing. My husband liked his burrito and the kids were ok with their waffle but it wasn't their most favorite waffle ever. Our server was nice. The kitchen got the egg order wrong for my husband's cousin's family and they brought more out for them even though they said that they wanted to make sure we weren't charged for it (extra cheese) since we had been close to finishing (they got their food slower). The sin-o-man cinnamon roll was kind of dry and only a few bites of the whole thing were eaten by a table of 8 people since no one really liked it. Overall there are tons of tables and the ambiance is nice, but there needs to be more parking. The food is ok but seems overhyped. I feel like 3 is a pretty solid rating still. read more

Service is great, and we actually did not have much of a wait even on a busy morning. The restaurant itself is super cute as well. Unfortunately the food was just not good, which was disappointing since I had heard so many good things about this place. We started with the cinnamon roll, which was drowned in a soupy frosting. The frosting was fairly good. The cinnamon roll itself was more cinnamon than roll, which necessitated the heavy use of frosting. I got the Sonora Scrambler which was fine, although personally I don't love a sun-dried tomato in a Tex-Mex style dish. The biscuits had the texture of kinetic sand. Make sure you get a couple glasses of water if you order them... you're going to need it. I wanted to love it here, but could not. read more

It's an oasis of good breakfast food in a city that is not known for early eaters overall. The portions are huge and the quality is there. It's an attractive spot with lots of parking and for the money is well worth it. Meals start at around $10 which is nothing too terrible. We will return. read more

We came to Scrambled Jake's on a Sunday, and thanks to the yelp waitlist feature we saved ourselves a great amount of time by putting our name in through that and only having to wait a little when we arrived. The service was great and fast- and the food was delicious. The biscuits and gravy was my favorite by far! The grits and hashbrown casserole were also so delicious- I will definitely be back! read more

My first time at this restaurant and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's really spacious and the servers were friendly! They offered military discount even though they aren't really expensive. It was 3 of us and we were seated pretty quickly. We were initially missing 1 person from our party so we wanted to wait on her and the waitress ensured we had our drinks while we waited but kept checking in on us about every 10 minutes. Once she arrived we ordered and within 20 minutes our food arrived. I order the 2 egg breakfast which came with hash browns, grits and 2 swaggerty sausages (my coworker gave me the extra 2). My food was amazing! The grits were thicker than I'm used to but they were still REALLY good and the hash browns came out more like scalloped potatoes. I'm definitely going back! read more

Love this place! Came across this place tucked along small town residential area - thought we'd give it a try for our first meal of the day in TN - glad we did! Staffs were friendly and attentive. We had the best, All in Omelette (so delish), French Toasts w/ Berries, Naan Breakfast Pizza, and Knox Lox. Though I must say, please don't put too much of the dill cream cheese since it's over powering the salmon - just a little constructive criticism to the Chef Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and everything feels like it was made with heart. Best omelette and breakfast pizza we've ever tasted thus far. Their Ben-Yay's are a must to have and their freshly squeezed orange juice Happy tummies for sure. read more

We decided to try this cute spot heading out of Knoxville, and it didn't disappoint! The parking lot was a bit jam packed, so we thought we were going to have a wait, but we actually had no wait as the restaurant is huge (full disclosure we did come on a Monday). The place is super cute and inviting inside, and makes you feel right at home! I decided to get the Jake's Favorite scrambler which came with eggs, pecan smoked bacon, onions, and tomato confit. It was topped with American cheese and baked over a potato casserole served with a biscuit on the side. I love American cheese on eggs, so I knew I'd love this dish. It was packed with flavors and just enough of every ingredient included in the dish. The biscuit was fluffy, moist, and went so well with the jam and butter! My friend got the cheese omelet, which came with aged cheddar and Gruyère, topped with Gruyère cheese and and Alfredo sauce! For me, the more cheese the merrier. Out waitress was also on top of it, and very accommodating and friendly! If you're ever in Knoxville, this is the perfect breakfast spot! read more

Good place for breakfast and brunch. Knoxville/Tennessee themed decor in a modern, cabin style setting. Nice menu with many choices. Food was tasty and made with good quality ingredients. Filling portions and attractive presentation. Everyone in our party was satisfied with their dishes. Service was friendly and fast. Our young server was obviously well trained and experienced. Always attentive without being a nuisance. We will be back when in the area. read more

Brought my handicapped Mother that uses a walker,for the 1st time. The handicapped entrance is clear around the side of the building, the one close door is closed as emergency exit! The worst breakfast potatoes we've ever had, cold & flavorless, hard cold bacon. It's very obvious it's all precooked in the morning, sitting under a lamp all day. Hard to find ANYTHING prepared fresh. I complained & the waitress actually said..."well you're the 1st person to complain"...wtf. Well...good coffee & great atmosphere at least. read more

Scrambled Jake's - Breakfast "so called" potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

My favorite breakfast place! His place has a modern cabin feel to it. It has large open areas, a big fireplace and even a bar that I call the Bloody Mary hangout in the corner between the two large rooms. I am not a fan of bloody Marys except here, it might be because of the swag garnish that comes with that.. I actually feel healthy when drinking it. So Good!! The other think SJ is know for is the giant cinnamon bun. All their food is amazing and you can pretty much get whatever you are craving. The place is always clean and roomy, even when there are busy. I had the savory crepe with a scratch Béchamel sauce and it was served with the seasoned hash brown casserole. The staff is so knowledgeable. He is the one who recommended me to get a small kids pancake to save money and not to get stuffed. All the servers are great at the job, they make sure you come back. read more

Been a frequent visitor of Scrambled Jakes since 2018. This place is in the heart of Rocky Hill and has definitely become a well known local secret-- just check the wait time on the weekends, and you'll see just how popular this place is. Recently visited with my boyfriend and happy the wait time isn't so crazy on the weekdays as it is on the weekends. The cinnamon rolls are always a hit. I remember when they were $4.25. Now double that price. CRAZY!! ‍. I guess inflation is present here too. Our go to entree is always the all in omelette with the ranchero sauce and fried jalapeños or the breakfast burrito. Very sad to see the breakfast casserole has now changed to a hash brown casserole. Not as good. Bring back the old recipe or hand it over to the public. read more

So noisy you cannot hear the waitstaff inches from your ear. Plus not the most inspiring menu.

I'm not sure if maybe we just came in on a bad morning, but our first experience here was definitely a letdown overall. The restaurant is beautiful. Limited parking. The deviled eggs were fantastic. The rest of the food was kind of mediocre. The prices are a little high in comparison to similar places. My daughter's food came out cold twice. Both our server and the manager acted very annoyed and inconvenienced when we asked for it to be fixed and we were met with further disdain when she decided she just didn't want eat anymore. As someone who has worked in customer service for 10 years, I go out of my way to be polite to other customer service workers because I know it's difficult working with the general public. It's really not difficult to fake being polite until you can get off the floor and into the back. I doubt we'll be returning. read more

Good breakfast/ brunch place. The inside is neat. It's a bit small, so you might have a wait but around lunch time we didn't wait at all. They don't have lunch food, so you need to be in the mood for breakfast. They also have specialty cocktails. Nice staff. read more

Oh my gosh!! What to say about this place?!? It's FanTastic!! Tried it for the first time on a Thursday and went back on Saturday. It's THAT good!! It's a really cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. It was raining so everyone was indoors. The hostess was friendly. We sat down and our waiter came out to help us and he was awesome!!! Super friendly! Gave us the lowdown on all the great food! I decided to not try fancy stuff and have the normal eggs and bacon and potatoes. The potatoes are amazing. Little layers of sliced potatoes with great seasoning, cooked to perfection. It came with grits, I hate grits but I figured I wouldn't eat it. When it arrived it looked different than any grits I've ever had. So I tried it. DELICIOUS!! This is the only way to prepare grits!! Tell the world!! The mushy gross grits are to be banished and Jake's grits are the Only Grits from now on!!! It was my birthday so they brought me one of their homemade cinnamon rolls. Of course...it was fabulous too!! Their coffee was fantastic!! And they make their own flavored creamer. I didn't try it, but it sounds good. They serve alcoholic beverages for those brunches and mimosa mornings. Everyone in our party loved their food. We will definitely be back!! Weekends get busy, so plan on waiting a little bit for a table. But it's worth it!!! read more

Went here for breakfast the other day. Service was a bit lackluster, but most of the food we were served during the meal was at last passable. Tip: This place is very close to Pop's Donuts; I suggest that you stop at Pop's if you're craving a sugar fix after your meal here. The cinnamon roles are notoriously good here; I've had them in the past and always enjoyed them, so we ordered a couple to go after breakfast - BIG mistake! When we got home and tried them, they were not only very stale, but the icing tasted terrible ;-) read more

Food is mid, just your typical breakfast spot. Service is whatever. I asked for OJ and never got it. They also told us they can't take the cheese or sour cream out of the potatoes. I'm not lactose, I just don't like dairy products. The ambience was good. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

The food is freshly homemade and delicious. Perfect portion sizes. The staff is amazing and the interior is clean and tidy. 10/10.

The pancakes were the best I have ever had, in fact, I bought their mix and brought it home! The Fried Deviled Eggs were out of this world! We have tried again and again to replicate them, but to no avail. The service was great, we didn't have to wait long because we chose to sit at the bar, but there was a line when we left. The bartender was very cool and made some great drinks! read more
