    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

    The Boston (seafood over hash browns with egg on top)

    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

    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.

    Hide+Seek was pretty good! Came here for dinner on a work trip and had the Parisian Gnocchi ($27)…read morewhich has lobster in it. The portion size isn't huge but there's a LOT of fat in this so it will make you feel full! I had had a drink beforehand too so I wasn't "starving," and I left pretty comfortably full. I was seated upstairs at the bar (there's an up and a downstairs bar) and the bartender was very nice, they served me pretty quick. I didn't hang about long but there were several couples clearly on dates, and I would say it's a nice spot for that -- not the fanciest, but certainly more upscale than casual. Bathrooms were immaculate too! Of note, I didn't have a car but saw metered parking directly out front and along the whole street there in shopping area. It was VERY packed but there was a lot of turnover so I imagine if you drove you wouldn't have to circle too long before finding a spot.

It is a small menu, but so many amazing options, you can't go wrong. We then went to the night club. Gina was our server and she was amazing also. Everyone had a blast Venue is beautiful, food is great, staff and vibe made the whole night!

    Recently, my husband and I celebrated the anniversary of the day we met. We don't always mark the…read moreoccasion, but this year it was a milestone worth celebrating. We chose to dine at Girl & the Goat in Chicago, a restaurant we had never visited before. The acclaimed restaurant by renowned chef Stephanie Izard truly lived up to its stellar reputation! One of the first things we appreciated was the convenience of the restaurant's valet parking, located right by the front patio. At $22 for up to four hours and $26 for four to eight hours, the rates were quite reasonable for the area. As soon as the three of us stepped inside Girl & the Goat (we had made a reservation for 6:30 pm on a Friday), we were warmly greeted by one of the two friendly hostesses, and were promptly led to a comfortable four-top table with a banquette and two chairs along the wall. We felt fortunate to have one of the better tables in the dining room, as some of the others were positioned very close together. The nearby two-top tables, in particular, were quite small and placed only a short distance from ours. The restaurant's rustic-industrial décor was dark but trendy and stylish, the lively and vibrant vibe was warm and welcoming. However, I have to mention that it was really loud in the dining room, as guests seemed to be enjoying themselves and talked loudly.  It was hard to hear our server and the staff who delivered and explained the dishes to us.  Our server, Yazmin, was extremely friendly and attentive.  It was very sweet of her to wish us a happy anniversary both in the beginning  and at the end of the meal.  She also checked in on us several times during the evening.  Now, on to the food and drinks. I started with a glass of the NA Sparkling Rosé ($17), which was light, crisp, and quite refreshing. My husband ordered a glass of Le Colture Prosecco ($18), while our daughter chose the Sun Kid ($18). She enjoyed her drink, although she felt the portion was a bit small, as the glass was filled with a lot of ice that took up much of the space. Since the restaurant offers small to medium plates which are shareable, Yazmin advised us to get 5 to 6 dishes for 3 people to share.  We decided to get 5 savory dishes and 3 desserts to share: Savory dishes: - Chickpea Fritters ($20), goat yogurt, green chutney, sev spice crunch, pickled rhubarb. - Pan Roasted Halibut ($37), miso-Marcona almond butter, spring onion blueberry nuoc cham. - Roasted Pig Face ($28), sunny side egg, tamarind, cilantro, red wine-maple, potato stix. - Goat Empanadas ($24), smoked tomato-corn salsa, roasted poblano crema queso fresco. - Confit Goat Belly ($38), strawberry goat braise, smoked yogurt drizzle, pickled strawberries. Desserts: - Vacation, Please! ($16), toasted coconut crunch, lemon passion fruit sorbet, rum-soaked pineapple cake. - Berry Yummy Par-tea ($16), earl grey soaked sponge cake, yuzu curd, spiced blackberries. - Chocolate Basil Brownie Bash ($16), olive oil semifreddo, chocolate fennel crunch, basil granita. The meal was just phenomenal!  All the savory dishes were cooked perfectly with bold flavors; the meats were tender and full of flavors.  There were dishes that we normally would not have ordered if we saw them on menus of other restaurants.  Here, we tried them and were delighted that we did!  Our consensus is that Roasted Pig Face is our most favorite! It is everything we love in a comfort dish -- crispy on the outside, meltingly tender inside, and packed with rich, balanced flavor.  We will definitely order this again!  The Confit Goat Belly is a close second, with buttery, fall-apart meat and just the right balance of richness, acidity, and crunch. For dessert, "Vacation, Please!" is the one that we will always come back for. The toasted coconut crunch adds texture, the lemon passion fruit sorbet brings a refreshing tang, and the rum-soaked pineapple cake ties it all together with just the right amount of sweetness.  The other two desserts that we ordered were also very good.  The staff even brought out a scoop of Chocolate Ice Cream on the house, with two lit candles to celebrate our anniversary - a thoughtful touch that made the evening even more memorable.  This dessert spread was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. I'd like to mention that the restaurant added a 4% surcharge to the bill, which the customer may request to have the surcharge remove if you choose.  We let them keep it. We spent about two hours at the restaurant. The savory dishes came out very quickly, the pace probably was even a tad too fast, but the desserts made up for it by taking a longer time.  We did not mind as we were still full, and had time to enjoy the ambiance more.  I would say it is a restaurant great for group gathering and celebratory functions, but not so much for intimate romantic date night.  All in all, it was a wonderful dinner, we look forward to returning again.

    I was there the other week (I've been here at least five times before), and a busser--not our…read morewaiter--started clearing both of our plates before we were finished eating. We each only had a couple of bites left, but it definitely gave off an "okay, you're done now" vibe. Then he went to take the green beans (arguably the cult classic on the menu), and we still had more than half of them left. I had to stop him and say, "Yeah, we're not done with those. We paid for them. Can you put them in a to-go box instead?" For context, it was about 20 minutes before closing, but we ordered with plenty of time and were already eating with a "get in, eat, and get out" mindset. I've just never had someone at a restaurant start clearing plates while we were still actively eating--without asking, "Are you finished?" "Can I clear this?" or "Would you like a to-go box?" It was just... "You're done, these are leaving now." We were there for less than 45 minutes, left about 15 minutes before closing, and spent over $200 (not including the tip). With so many options in Chicago, I don't see myself coming back here.

The pancakes were smaller than I expected, but were fantastically fluffy with a very tasty vanilla sauce. The fruit was all fresh and flavorful, and the pastrami, surprisingly, accompanied the pancakes well. It was a perfectly seasoned and incredibly moist. Would come back to have the actual sandwich. Service was solid, if not a little slow, but everyone we saw was incredibly friendly. All in all, this place is a fantastic addition to Andersonville and I highly recommend you give it a try!
