Met out-of-town relatives for brunch on a recent Saturday. No wait at 10:45 AM (but I had joined the waitlist online.) I thoroughly enjoyed my FGT Eggs Benedict & was generously given an extra side of scrumptious Hollandaise at no charge! My sister raved about her Mariner omelette and her husband polished off his Country Style Skillet in no time flat. Service was excellent. Prices were on point for the excellent quality of our food. We'll be back!! (Sorry for misappropriating your slogan, Mr. Schwarzenegger )!

If you're in Greensboro, you HAVE to stop at this restaurant! Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Based off the menu it seems like it'd just be another normal breakfast place but let me tell you, it definitely is not. The food here is AMAZING. Everything is very reasonably priced as well. This visit, I had the night night skillet. The flavors pair perfectly together! I normally am not a big breakfast person but if I could eat this for breakfast everyday, I happily would! This restaurant is a must visit if you're in the Greensboro area.

I used to love this place but it’s gone down hill. The tables are wobbling themselves apart, the service is soooooooooo much slower than it used to be. I’m not in a hurry when I go to breakfast but I do want to be pampered and taken care of to some degree. The music is awful - just pick something not poppy and chaotic. Like calm folk music, maybe not loud poppy noise on top of all the chatter. The coffee is very watered down. I mean come on - like try a little bit more. A quick gander and you can see their care has really fallen off. The food isn’t good enough to compensate for the yucky environment.

I moved to this area. This was my 1st time here today. What a great experience! Our waitress was excellent. I had the Pancake Platter that came with a pancake (obviously lol), scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and chicken. I got the hash browns extra. Everything was so delicious! Best cheese grits I ever had. Gonna get the shrimp and grits next. My company and I were pleased with this restaurant!

Traveling all the way from Raleigh to Greensboro, we gathered with friends and family for a delightful breakfast at this charming diner on a warm Sunday morning. A telltale sign of a great dining spot for me is the line out front, and indeed, there was one. Fortunately, we called ahead and within 20 minutes, we were comfortably seated.As an Eggs Benedict enthusiast, I'm always eager to try variations of this classic dish, and the 'Chicken Little Benedict' here truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I asked our waitress for her recommendation and she enthusiastically shared that it's a favorite among the staff, I knew I was in for a treat.The unique twist on the traditional dish absolutely blew my mind. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a delight. The fact that I'd happily make the one-hour drive back just to enjoy it again speaks volumes—it's truly worth it!Overall, the experience was fantastic. From the friendly service to the delicious food, this diner has won me over. If you're in the area or willing to make the journey, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't be disappointed!

We've been wanting to stop in at Scrambled for quite some time but are rarely in Greensboro during the breakfast hours. Located in the Lindley Park area of Greensboro the neighborhood is cute and charming. There is a parking lot designated for Scrambled customers but we noticed there is also another large parking lot across the street which doesn't seem to be utilized as much. Since we've never visited before we parked across the street and crossed Spring Garden Street. We entered the door nearest the street. It opened into a hallway near the restrooms and we quickly determined the main entrance is at the rear of the building. My wife stopped in at the restroom since we walked right past them and I proceeded to the hostess stand since we had taken advantage of the waitlist feature on Yelp. When I approached the hostess stand I told the young woman we are a party of 2 but she didn't let me finish and quickly asked me where the rest of my party was. She told me that my entire party needs to be here in order to be seated. I told her my wife stopped in the restroom and she was quick to dismiss me and proceeded to grab menus for the other couple in line behind me. Once upon a time I worked in the food service industry and I understand the need and desire to flip tables in order to maximize the number of meals and tables served on a daily basis. However, the young woman working the hostess station was slightly rude and instead of taking a moment to acknowledge me and let me tell her we were also on the Yelp waitlist she quickly turned and helped the other couple in line. My wife joined me at the hostess stand a minute or two later and I told her the basics of my experience. When the hostess returned my wife let her know that our party of 2 was now there and she grabbed menus and we were seated. Fortunately, the Yelp waitlist appeared to not be necessary this particular time of the morning. We were seated at a small table and the interior is cute and appears clean and well taken care of. In addition to the approximate 35 or so tables inside the dining room there is a bar area with room for about 8. We are unsure if the bar area is first come, first serve. Our drink orders were taken immediately and we were provided menus. The menu consists of skillets and omelets, house specialties such as fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits, benedicts, breakfast platters, pancakes, and breakfast sandwiches, everything sounded delicious! We each decided to order a skillet. All skillets are prepared with two eggs - any style, choice of hashbrowns or cheddar grits and choice of bread. My wife chose the country style skillet with crumbled sausage, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, sausage gravy and scallions. I chose the night night skillet with country sausage, bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion, and peppers. I asked if I could have the sausage gravy versus the red eye gravy and was told that wasn't a problem by our server. The interior was humming with activity, all of the tables were occupied and they appeared to be adequately staffed. Our food arrived quickly and both skillets were served in cast iron pans which we thought was a cool touch. Everything looked great and our server was friendly and efficient. We both really enjoyed each and every bite of our skillets, they were very delicious! We also thought the prices were reasonable as well. After our meal we walked through the rear entrance which leads to a small outdoor area as well as the covered patio areas closer to Spring Garden. This would have been an easy 5 star experience but we are deducting one star for the not so pleasant hostess. We will absolutely come again and look forward to bringing visiting friends or family to Scrambled as well. Delicious!

Excellent food and Service. Good sized portions. Our table had the sea food omelette, pancake plate and waffle plate. All done very well. The cheddar grits were excellent. Highly recommended.

Came here for a weekday breakfast. Had a night night omelet with red eye gravy - really good. Also tried a black bean cake. Also good but a bit salty. Good service and a nice vibe.

My friend bought me breakfast to work and they were the biggest pancakes I've ever seen in my life. I ordered 3 without realizing the actual size. It took 2 days to eat those. I love the size but I've had better tasting pancakes. They were ok.

I would give it five stars; however, they need a bigger location. It is starting to feel cramped in there.

Hyped and long lines, we have tried numerous times and we finally got in on rainy Sunday morning with no wait in February. Coffee was awful. Bad coffee is a bad sign. I ordered a skillet and over medium eggs on the side. Eggs were not medium and runny, and not on the side. The red eye gravy was awful, bitter. who eats this? The biscuit was dry and not flaky. My wifes omelet was somewhat better but sides not so great. At the time we were there the restaurant was not that busy but it got busy as we leaving. Parking is terrible and we got boxed in and had maneuver back and forth to get out of their lot. It is not worth the hype, wait and parking, so many other better offerings in Greensboro. Service was ok but the food and coffee were not.

Dine in | Brunch | $10-20 No complaints here. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. They were busy on a Sunday morning of course, that's expected. The wait was over an hour which was fine as I joined the waitlist while in church. Parking is tight and limited. The host stand entrance is also at the back of the restaurant, and not through the first door in the front so l would take note of that. Pretty neat spot for breakfast. One note: The seats were very uncomfortable! But nothing not worth visiting again.
