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

Delicious brunch spot but make sure to hop on their online waitlist because it is always busy here on the weekends! The food is delicious and in large portions so you get the bang for your buck. The cabin feel of the restaurant also makes it feel like you truly are in the hills on TN. read more

It is my breakfast spot of choice whenever I visit KNX. Great selection, good food and service...

The service was wonderful and the food is good! You'll be full when you leave! The cinnamon roll, and summer shine benny are my favorites!

We had a fantastic brunch at Scrambled Jake's in Knoxville on a Wednesday. Our party of five was seated immediately, and the service was excellent. The breakfast burrito is a family favorite, always delicious but even better with extra sour cream. I tried the Sonora Scrambler, and it was perfect--filling yet light. Scrambled Jake's never disappoints! Highly recommend for anyone in the area. read more

Nice place. Stop it with the gluten free potatoes. It looks like vomit. Tastes awful. I loved this place before.

Food was very good and filling. The four of us that ate breakfast here were full all day and we didn't eat until super. The breakfast Barittos were very good. My wife and daughter had a breakfast bowl and loved it. read more

Didn't realize this was number one but I see why. Plus- ordered the keto omelet. Bacon eggs and avocado. Big and perfectly cooked. Good coffee. Could be better- Tiny narrow cups. Almost espresso sized. Hefty price. read more

I do not know what has happened to scrambled Jakes but it has seriously went down hill as far as the food is concerned, the service was good but the food, horrible. The eggs seem to be of the powered version, absolutely no taste what so ever. The eggs I ordered was the keto omelette which was suppose to have bacon, avocado, and spinach in it, but there was hardly any found inside the omelete. I ordered the greens as well which were basically a bagged lettuce variety with some type lemon dressing. I guess the coffee was good but hard to make bad coffee, I mean it can be done. It seems the owners of scrambled Jakes has decided that profit is more Important than a lasting, staying business. I will never eat there again. read more

This was first time brought my family and was not only disappointed but the manger was less than professional. My daughters food came out wrong, she sent it back to be reheated and the disgust in the managers face was infuriating. Maybe take a course or two on hospitality and customer service Not impressed the prices were ridiculous for the area, and the coffee was bitter. Not worth the money or the insult. read more

This was our 2nd time, we decided to go during the week as less busy than Sunday. They do have an online waitlist that you can use, but we didn't need on Monday. I got the breakfast pizza on Naan with crumbled pecan bacon mozzarella, tomato confit, spinach, 2 eggs (cooked anyway you would like) with crème friache drizzle. It came with fresh fruit or fresh greens. My husband had cinnamon French toast with link sausage. Service was wonderful, the food was delicious! We highly recommend and will definitely go back! read more

Great place to go for breakfast or brunch Lots of choices and very friendly and nice wait staff. From previous experience Mondays can be a pain to get seated, not sure what it is with the Knox business people and Mondays. Went yesterday Tuesday, straight in and seated read more

Indigestion destination - We oped in today to try out Jake's for a breakfast and learned another good food in Knoxville lesson. First notable thing was that there is limited parking for the customers here, more inside seating and way too few parking spots to acccomodate. You can park off the restaurant site in a dirt lot next door which can help (assuming you know this trick). Our two orders were: 2 Egg breakfast w/bacon and biscuit Sonoran Scramble Coffees The place is well kept and clean, has good service and comfortable seating - all good. Our server did a great job getting us coffee and waters right away and was attentive ... and all in gets a 9 overall. Good start. Clearly there are issues with the food from a consumer standpoint .. 2 egg breakfast - it comes with potato casserole, grits, choice of meat (selected pecon smoked bacon) and a biscuit. Sounds good right ? First issue was the food was barely warm when it hit the table, the eggs appeared to be the only item not precooked then warmed. The potatoe caserole was more like scalloped potatoes scooped in a mound .. minus the ham - not a fan. The bacon looked good but the pecan taste was a turn off, can't say I was a fan at all. Grits were OK but not something I would eat twice. The jam served with the biscuit was non-discript .. rumor has it that it was strawberry - jury is still out. Sonoran Scramble - this was a train wreck, a better name would be Sonoran mash. It was difficult to ID any of the incredients and the prized topper of avacado was more mashed (ie like Chipotle). Why sun dried tomatoes are added in excess I will never know, not helpful. The taste was odd and sadly my guest got heartburn after eating only half .. this one is a no go for sure. The biscuits were dry. Needless to say inspite of the 4 star average this spot can be good for group gatherings but highly reocmmend conservative ordering techniques or BYOF please. The price is also a game stopper, $40 - pass. read more

Service was amazing and food was okay, but truly miss the potato casserole!! Please bring it back.

Scrambled Jake's had an online waitlist, which was pretty amazing for a Saturday morning and our party of 7. We had great service and we all enjoyed our food. The cinnamon roll was a great appetizer for all of us to share, too! read more

On our way to the Carolinas and hung up in traffic at lunch time. The place is a short trip from the interstate but well worth the drive. The place is popular so there may be a wait but if you don't mind sitting at the bar you likely can walk in. The food is freshly prepared and has a great presentation and the taste lives up to the presentation. For a crowded place the food was served quickly. Be prepared to have a bit of background noise and maybe a wait. read more

As a southern girlie, love my southern comfort food and southern hospitality. Scrambled Jake's is a reliable brunch spot that offers the classic breakfast items, but the show stopper would have to be their giant cinnamon roll. Be warned that if you don't go early enough, they are usually sold out of their cinnamon roll, but I was lucky enough to snag one to try. It was definitely eye-catching and yummy, but leaned towards the sweeter side. If you have a big sweet tooth, this may be your cup of tea. The overall service, was phenomenal. Southern hospitality will always have a special place in my heart that can't be verbalized through words. read more

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

I can see why this place is voted best breakfast in Knoxville. Lots to choose from on the menu, variety of breakfast drinks, and casual atmosphere however I thought some of the features were overhyped. We decided to have the Kiss your own grits and the 2 egg breakfast. The grits were cooked perfectly and so were the eggs. I decided to add some gravy to the biscuit that the dishes came with because you can't go wrong with biscuits and gravy. The regular sausage patties were average but I thought the letdown was breakfast potatoes. I always hear how people rave about them but I didn't find them to be a crave-able breakfast feature. To me they were like a slightly elevated scalloped potatoes but not the cheesy flavorful potato casserole I typically look for with my breakfast. Our service was just average, however I'll still give it a 4 stars to give them the benefit of a doubt that some of their other featured items are just as amazing as they say read more

We had a great breakfast at Scrambled Jake's. The place was hopping a little before 9am on a Sunday but we only waited 10 minutes before being shown to a table. Our waitress was friendly and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the cinnamon roll - definitely big enough to share - and the lox Benedict. Also the fresh squeezed OJ. The naan breakfast pizza was the only mediocre thing we tried. It was loaded with sun dried tomatoes (incorrectly listed as "tomato confit" on the menu) and the flavor overwhelmed everything else. If we'd known we would have opted for something else. Also, avoid the French press coffee if you're in a hurry for caffeine. They only had three French presses for the whole restaurant the day we went (don't know if it was a fluke or a regular issue) and my husband waited upwards of 30 minutes for coffee. read more

One of the best and unique breakfast places around Knoxville. If you plan to come her you need to call ahead and get on the list otherwise you could have 1-2 hour wait. I really think it's time for them to add another place as it's always packed. Why, because it's really that good. From drinks to the pancakes, perfect bacon and service. This is slowly becoming the only stop for Sunday breakfast with us. read more

Headed to Jake's on a Friday morning, knowing how busy and wild people mention this place gets, but thinking "Eh, a weekday morning will be tame." HA. I am such a joke-ster. It was still tremendously busy and we had to awkwardly wait for a parking spot. The parking lot simply does not meet the needs of a thriving restaurant. Once you nab a spot, it is totally worth the treasures that await you inside. We were greeted and seated immediately, with the only open table right next to the door (or we could have eaten at the bar). Our server, Stephanie, was prompt and helpful. We started with cold brews and were offered the vanilla flavoring. Hubby got it, I got it without. They were smooth and the perfect boost. A great size for the price, too. We ordered: A 2 Egg Breakfast with over-medium eggs and turkey sausage and a 3-egg breakfast with scrambled eggs and the smoked gouda sausage. We both got biscuits, hashbrown casserole, creamy grits, and a side of fruit. The food was incredible! The sausages were both unique and well-cooked. The grits and hashbrowns were so well-seasoned. The biscuits were fluffy, buttery and elevated even more by the butter and tasty jam included. The fruit side had fresh, ripe fruit (grapes, pineapple, honeydew, and cantelope). We will definitely be back-next time to try the waffles, pancakes, or french toast that we had food envy over as they were delivered to nearby tables. read more

We just happened to find this place. We were on the west side of town and were looking for a brunch spot. It came up on my phone and we said why not lived here for 18 years and didn't know this places was here. The place has a great vibe and great service! Food was so very good! My husband had the all in omelette. I had the savory crepes which were heavenly with the creamy cheese sauce. We shared a cinnamon roll which is served like an appetizer which we couldn't even finish but it was very good!! We will definitely be back. Only complaint I would have is there isn't much parking. read more

This morning we went for breakfast. we had been to this restaurant six years ago and found it to be good. this time, however, the over easy eggs were over cooked so much that I couldn't cut them with a fork. the grits were way too strongly flavored with garlic salt, onion salt that they were disgusting. I asked for the bacon to be well done, and they were, to the point of being black. the potatoes had so much paprika that they were red, tasted only like garlic and onion salt In short I was not happy with anything I was given for 13.95. my friends were likewise unhappy about their food. one said the bacon was like leather. neither could eat the potatoes. we won't be going back. read more

1. Call/plan ahead (then you can avoid any frustration, etc, of waiting/long wait times) easy enough, right 2. It's not a huge place, so keep that in mind to go with the above. Makes sense. 3. The food was really good, the dishes I've had with family coming here (2 or 3x already) are a good size. And I really appreciate the fresh squeezed juices as well. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in Knoxville... This place rings all the bells. The service is always great.

Came here with my family over the holidays and really enjoyed my experience! First, I was impressed by how spacious the restaurant felt inside. We were seated immediately and the service was on point throughout. I ordered the "Lox and Lox of Toast" (which was basically just lox on toast, haha) and it was very good and very reasonably priced! My wife ordered the Fungus Among Us "scrambler" and she really enjoyed her food as well, although it was a little too much for her. I would definitely come back here the next time I'm in Knoxville! read more
