    Diner Burger
    James Y.

    Yum. Nice little diner place with very nice staff. I went with a regular burger and fries. The burger was juicy and very well seasoned. The fries were nice and hot. Definitely a return visit place if in the area.

    Diner Burger and Garlic Fries

    We were in Merced for work and one of the guys on the yard recommended Scott's he said they have great breakfasts. He couldn't attest to lunch, which is what we wanted, but decided to try it anyway. Waitress was amazing, Jordan. Very friendly and prompt, she checked with us after we had started eating to be sure everything was good. The food was wonderful! My coworker and I both ordered the diner burger with garlic fries and our boss got the fish and chips. The burger and fries were great! Big portions. My boss said the fish and chips were good as well. It's an old building but they take good care of it. Keeping things clean. If I come to Merced again I'll look forward to coming back

    Had to do a revisit of Scott's Diner and the breakfast was still plentiful and delicious. The food portions rival those larger breakfast shops and are served nice and hot. The service well when the owner himself waits on your table sign me up. With this type of leadership the staff is a real treat ensuring you have all you need. Now the old adage of "don't judge a book by its cover" fits perfectly here, this is a neighborhood eatery with every piece of decor in this place has a story. Does the place need a little TLC ? Probably but what makes up for that is the ownership, staff and fabulous home style food. If you're on your way through Merced going to Yosemite or Bass Lake stop by. You'll see what I mean. SYOYCVN

    This is a classic American diner with some Mexican influenced options as well. The food is plentiful and delicious! And the staff is friendly. I am a picky eater and they made a breakfast exactly the way I wanted it. Definitely will return. Oh and the prices are good for the amount of food they give you.

    As advertised! Don't let the looks of the place for you, they have good service, they are nice, and they have good food! It looks like an all Mexican restaurant, but they serve American food. We had the beef stroganoff, and a low-carb turkey club sandwich. We had a darn good time, and I highly recommend this place.

    It's crazy that I've driven by this restaurant so many times and I've never tried it. Well a few weeks ago my girl and I gave it a try and it's definitely one of the best breakfast spots to go to. Definitely feels local and the service is great but the food is even better!!! Love their pancakes! Weird parking lot to get to lol gets extremely busy between 11am and closing time and great prices too! Portions are amazing too.

    Yummy yummy food. Waitress was very kind. looks like an old run down place from the outside But the foods is great and the menu is huge. Food came out fast. Also hot and apple pie slice and ice cream after and that was great too! If passing through town again we will visit again!

    Chicken fried steak and eggs

    My family and I always enjoy stopping by Scott's Diner whenever we're in town. Today, we had the Smokehouse Ribs and Eggs, and it was absolutely delicious! If you're ever in the area, be sure to support this local diner--you won't be disappointed.

    I read that this restaurant had bad food grade last year and fail inspection. The recent reviews…read moremade me decide to give it a try since it also said they had passed their inspection this year and meet the qualifications to operate. First definitely a lot of choices for burgers and side choices too, my eyes were all over the place and took a while to finally make up My mind. Customer service wasn't bad. I like the out door tables and the cozy indoor for dine in. Looks clean for how to place looks. It's definitely located in a getto area can't even enjoy the meal outside when you got a group of people in the parking lot blasting music and being obnoxious. Either than that for being in the getto area the food is pretty good and has a good taste quality as well. My food tastes fresh and didn't taste like it's been sitting there for a while. So definitely recommend to give it a try. Bathroom is hidden too and looks decently cleaned.

    We decided to get the double cheeseburger, no fries, a vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream cone…read moreto share. Wow, the burger was absolutely delicious, fresh tasting, yes, my guy and I shared it. I would prefer their burger than inn-n-out. The guy was friendly and gave us excellent customer service. We shared the ice cream cone, man, it was nice and creamy. You can sit inside or outside. It does have an outside overhang from the sun or if it was raining and tables. I need to go back and try their other food on the menu. I would recommend my family and friends to try their food.

    Wow! That was delicious! We were driving through town when hunger striked which led us to Toni's…read moreCourtyard Cafe. We came on a Monday morning and the crowd was light as expected being a weekday. We were seated right away. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options but the tables are a bit tight so probably not the best place for parties over 4-5 people. I had the salmon scramble with a slice of pumpkin bread and subbed the potatoes for a fruit cup. I don't know if it was because I was extra hungry but it tasted delicious! There was a lot more salmon in the scramble than I expected which was a bonus! The fruit was great and the pumpkin bread was a nice unique twist to the classic breakfast side options. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito which was huge and filling!

    Just needed a bite to eat while passing through on our way out of town. This popped up on the map…read more Never heard of it.. such a cute place outside and inside. Nice selections of bakery items! We were greeted promptly and seated. Their menu is a great selection of sandwiches, salads, burgers. My husband had the Salmon salad 2.0, I had a grilled vegie sandwich on focaccia bread. Got the food fast. We were shocked at the size of the salad! It was plated beautifully! My sandwich was delicious. Only tiny complaint.. I wish there were more vegies on it. The fries were crazy good and crispy! Crinkle cut.! There are other options for your sides. I got a piece of pumpkin roll to go. Had to take a bite as we were leaving.. it was divine!!! I can't wait to stop again. The ladies were so attentive and fast. Please stop by if you're in Merced.
