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. The decor is cool, which makes it good for a simple breakfast meeting or just a fun breakfast. The food is awesome, I try something new every time I stop by and have yet to be disappointed. Their sign says, "Knoxville's best breakfast " read more

Staff was super nice. Coffee was great I had five cups!! And they even offered me some to go!! My card declined and the waitress didn't assume I was broke but instead suggested my card was locked (it was) very mindful very demure read more

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

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

Outstanding!!!! Great service and atmosphere. I recommend them to everyone. Yuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! read more

Apparently, Scrambled Jake's a a local favorite in Rocky Hill and I can see why. There was a bit of a wait for our table due to the fact we had a large group (twelve total, split up to two tables) and it was a Friday mid-morning before a big UT football weekend. The parking lot was full, but overflow parking was available in a lot next door. There were people waiting as we were seated and as we were leaving. So it was a very popular place on this particular Friday between 10am and noon. However, the restaurant did not seem overly crowded with the spacious dining rooms and high ceilings. Our group was there for about two hours from sitting down to leaving. We were not in a hurry so the relaxed vibe of a slower dining experience was fine for us. The food was savory, sweet and deliciously fresh. The portion sizes were quite large. Our table shared a Cinnamon Roll and individually we ordered the Fungus Among Us, French Toast, Jake's Favorite and Savory Crepes. Everyone was pleased with their meal. read more

If you like yourself some breakfast food, check this place out. The plates are hearty and the flavors tasty. You can't go wrong with any of the scrambles, and while you're at it, grab yourself that giant cinnamon roll! The post meal-induced coma and subsequent amnesia make it guilt free. Two complaints- 1. Parking is a drag. Not because the lot is so full that you sometimes have to park across the street. But because patrons troll the lot and block you from being able to scoot around them once you decide that you're fine to park elsewhere and walk a few more yards. 2. Reservations aren't real. We scheduled a brunch time reservation in advance, but when we arrived, our reservation was "delayed" thrice. We waited for over an hour to be seated...At this, I'd typically scoff and find another brunch spot, but that cinnamon roll! read more

Second time at scrambled Jake's... second time of an amazing experience. They start you with great customer service in a warm and inviting environment. Next comes your food options, plenty to suit all types of foodies. Today I had the filled crêpes. A hearty dish to fill even the hungriest of Vols. With so many options to choose from I could try something new with every visit for the next five years. Definitely get your moneys worth. Don't forget to leave room for the giant cinnamon roll, enough to share with a few friends. We will be bringing our out of town guests to this place. read more

Great food - very chill vibe. My daughter and I first went earlier in December and one of the staff said, "Oh this is your first time; well, I'm sure it won't be the last." He was so right. We went back earlier this week and got the amazing food pictured here. read more

Whew wow. Sooo good. We had the fried deviled eggs, beignets, sin o man roll, traditional eggs Benedict, and the croque madame - the wait was longer than I normally want to wait but it was worth it. read more

My daughter and I were looking for a good breakfast place and after much back and forth we came across Scrambled Jake's We arrived around 10am on a Sunday and although very busy we were able to score 2 seats at the bar. The bartender was very nice and attentive. My daughter ordered a mimosa and I had coffee. My coffee was delicious and never got empty. My daughter enjoyed her mimosa as well. We ordered eggs benedict and a garden omelette and both were delicious and arrived in a timely manner. They have ginormous cinnamon rolls that are very popular but we were too full to give them a try. We will definitely be back. read more

Stephanie is waiting on us today. She is friendly and pleasant. She was also quite informative about menu items. We are seated at a high top counter by the bakery counter. The staff are all wearing masks. It's busy here. Doesn't seem they have the 6 feet requirement here for tables or seating. They have fresh squeezed OJ. They have freshly made cinnamon roll, not going to be a low carb breakfast in the end. It's hard to pass up on fresh cinnamon roll, when available. The OJ is fresh and slightly sweet here. We ordered the fungus among us scrambler, crab cake Benedict. Started with the big cinnamon roll and deep fried deviled eggs. It's going to be a glutinous breakfast today. There's a steak knife and a cinnamon roll, it's that big. The cinnamon roll frosting buttery and quite delicious. The outside of the roll is a bit hard, you have to get into the eye or center to get to the soft part of the roll. It was so big we could only eat about 1/2 or so. We mostly ate the inside of it since the outer layers were a bit hard and too crusty for me. The deep fried deviled eggs aren't bad, nicely panko crust, it's good with the mustard. The fungus among us isn't bad either, filled with a good amount and combo of mushrooms and lots and lots of cheese. My first crab cakes Benedict came with the standard poached eggs. The staff were cool bringing it out with a fully cooked egg for me. The crab cakes alone are yummy and super flavorful. I could eat them on their own. They have a lot of earthy and herby flavoring and texture to them. They are quite nice. The side of potatoes are cut like scalloped potatoes, a bit on the bland and tasteless side though. They use all fresh ingredients here, the mushrooms, potatoes and that's great. They also serve up cage free eggs in all of their egg based dishes too. I bought some frog jam for my mom, SIL and me. Each jar is $7.50. read more

Stopped here on my way to my Airbnb. The Uber driver said this was one of his fav spots in town so of course I tried it out. First of all, their orange juice is probably the best OJ I've had at a restaurant. It literally tastes freshly pressed which I was a big fan of. I ordered the all in omelet and my friends got the Sonora scramble and a pancake. We also ordered the fried deviled eggs as an app. The pancake was so big! It takes up an entire plate. It was a pancake that tastes good with or without syrup which was great. The all in omelet was good, wish it had more cheese. It was like a meat lovers pizza but in omelet form. The egg for the omelet was cooked delicately thin almost like a crepe. The food was average but not bad. Might stop by again for brunch to try their breakfast cocktails. read more

This restaurant has the absolute best breakfast I have EVER had the pleasure of eating! If it were located near me, I would become a morning person. I had the Jack's Favorite, substituting the American cheese with the Gruyère. They split my order so I could share with my mother. As an appetizer, we had the deep fried deviled eggs that were served with a spicy brown mustard for dipping. The server was very friendly, and didn't mind when I mentioned that I wanted to change the cheese from American. Busy restaurant that ran efficiently, but didn't rush me. The noise level was moderate because of the children there when I went Saturday morning, but it didn't deter me from enjoying their fantastic food. Would highly recommend this amazing restaurant! read more

Horrible service during Mothers day. Yes I know it's mother's day and it's Sunday. But when you have reservations then asked to wait 30 min and 4th in line..then we go back after 30 min and now 6th in line!!!! During this whole ordeal..a lady passes out (customer) smashes her face(maybe low bloodsucking, heat exhausted etc) a lady went in to get OJ for her..the Manger asked if she was going to pay for it...and she told him it's for a lady with low blood sugar. (Medical emergency) what a JACK! HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO EAT HERE or get rid of your Manager! After 3 hours...we left! Manager even called the cops for them trespassing?? Like what the!!!! read more

Great breakfast spot. They finally changed their potato side and it's a great improvement.

This is a Knoxville brunch staple. I keep coming back and bringing new people to try it. I've tried the Scramblers, naan breakfast pizza, crepes, cinnamon roll, and French toast, and they are all winners. Be sure to get on the wait list ahead of time because it's always busy (a good sign!). read more

Yummy food, hot Chocolate was so tasty the service was very nice!! Had a pretty cool look to it and I really like the decorations!

Fantastic brunch spot. This place is very popular on the weekends, so make sure you go online and get on the waitlist prior to driving to the restaurant. I love the menu here and everything has been great. For a starter, the gigantic cinnamon roll is very popular. I thought it was just okay. The breakfast burrito is very good. Order it with a side of the breakfast potato casserole if you are in the mood for savory. The hands down best item on the menu is the French toast. Absolutely delicious! You can't go wrong with Scrambled Jake's. read more

This was a great Yelp find!! The whole family was in Knoxville for a visit/tour at UT. On go home day we wanted to get a good breakfast before heading off on our long drive home. A quick search on Yelp brought up this place, it was basically on the way so we figured why not? When we pulled in the parking lot we saw that the lot was packed and we were expecting a wait to get seated - nope! No wait at all, got seated right away and our server showed up right away with menus and took our drink orders. Our server was quite attentive and patient, coffee cups were never empty and she gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu and answered our questions. Savory crepes were delicious, lived up to their name and were very savory. They are stuffed with eggs, shallots, Gouda cheese, and peppers rather than the typical fruit filling. Here Figgy Figgy toast was great! The fig infused goat cheese wells awesome. Pancakes were enormous!!!! French toast and biscuit and gravy were the only not great items, but they weren't bad, just not great. Could have used a little more vanilla in them maybe, and the bread was so thick the very insides were not quite cooked up and a little damp. But not bad!!! Biscuit was good, gravy was light on the seasoning but did have some for sure. This is probably more of a personal thing vice an issue because I do like my gravy very peppery and I understand a restaurant has to cater to all palates but just mine. With the addition of some pepper from the pepper mill on the table it was right on track! read more

I've been coming here for years now and hands down this is the best breakfast/brunch spot in Knoxville! The classic cheese omelette is so decadent with the Alfredo cheese on top. I like to add bacon and mushrooms in it. The star of this restaurant is the deep fried deviled eggs. Whoever came up with this concept is a genius. It is paired with a mustard sauce that is just phenomenal. read more

This place is always awesome the food is great and the staff is really friendly. Make sure you get there early because there is always a wait.

My daughter and SIL took me out for Mothers Day along with the 2 grandchildren. The wait was long and it was a very hot muggy day. We've been here many times before. Food has always been great. Atmosphere is nice but concrete floors makes for a loud noisy meal. We were waiting outside when one of the other Mothers waiting for a table passed out. As she fell, she fell face first into a brick half wall. As an RN, I went to check on her. There also was a paramedic waiting. As she slowly came too we noted that she blacked out, not remembering she hit her face. A by stander went inside to get water. The restaurant offered to call an ambulance but the woman said no. It was hot, muggy and the woman had not eaten as most those waiting. Her blood sugar was low and that's why she passed out. She banged her for head. Bloodied her nose. Busted her lip and got an abrasion to her face arm and knees. We were able to sit her to a chair. Another by stander went inside to ask for orange juice and Scramble Jake's refused. I went in and told the maitr'd I needed orange juice for a medical emergency and the first thing out of her mouth was- oh she refused an ambulance. So I reminded her that this was a medical emergency and the woman still needed orange juice to which I was told that she would go speak to the manager. After a minute or 2 she spoke to the manager and he approached me asking me if I need it any assistance. I told him a woman outside had a medical emergency and needed orange juice. I asked if he could please get a glass of orange juice for her and he said who is going to pay for the orange juice? He also said, oh she's the one who refused an ambulance. My response to him was yes she did refuse an ambulance. However she still is in a medical emergency and we still need to give her a cup of orange juice. I told him we still need a cup of orange juice but he was still more concerned And continue to ask Who was going to pay for the cup of orange juice. At that point the woman's daughter-in-law had come inside to see what was taking so long and getting a cup of orange juice and at that time the Manager named Clayton finally went to get a cup of orange juice. But he made sure to let us know he was not happy. I told him I do not have a problem pain for the orange juice. We just need a glass of orange juice please get it quickly. We provided the juice and the woman was getting better. Her adult son was very concerned that Scramble Jake's had no compassion for what had happened. He went inside to talk to The manager. The son was upset that she passed out in the heat and it took multiple people to impress upon the restaurant to give her juice. Clayton the manager put his hands on the sons shoulder but the son told him to take his hands off him. At this point the Manger said he will call Knoxville police. (Manager wanted to press charges for trespassing) Knoxville police showed up and told us (the crowd waiting) that they got a call because there were people who refused to leave. Even Knoxville police were surprised at the level of heartlessness and no compassion. While police were there the son wanted at least for the manager to come out and see the woman ( so he could see this was all accurate) but he refused to come see her or talk to her. Instead he threatened to press trespassing charges against the fallen woman and her adult son. No incident report was done on her behalf. Even though the family asked. My family witnessed this whole event from start to finish. We were upset as the manager was approached by my SIL to tell them we were leaving and take us off the list. My SIL asked- couldn't you just give them a table so she could get food? ( there were a number of clean 4 seat table empty) but Clayton said no. "If I started giving a table to every person who felt sick I would not be able to sit my people waiting. All in all this manager was MORE concerned with the cost of an juice cup than a woman who fell face first into the brick wall outside while waiting almost 3 hours. We all knew on the holiday it would take a long . read more

We used the online waitlist to get in line for a table. It was a great feeling to walk-in to get a table at the predicted time. We tried the fried deviled eggs that were okay (we have never tried fried deviled eggs before so we can't compare) but needed more flavor. We also had eggs, bacon, sausage, potato casserole, waffles, pancakes, fruit, etc. All of it included giant portions and delicious flavors! It also was served at a good temp. The staff was kind, polite and served with accuracy. We will be back if we are in the area! read more

Sat at the bar this morning at 11:45, ordered lox and lox of toast by 11:50. Saw guests food coming at normal pace, as it was slightly busy. Assuming busy because of the football game tomorrow. I've worked in the F&B industry for 25years and am more aware of the other things going on and that play a part in day to day service. Cinnamon rolls, burritos, to go orders coming i In and going out. Last straw, gentlemen comes in, sits order, and his burrito is delivered in 10 minutes. I was on my feet ready to leave when My TOAST finally comes out 5 minutes after his! One slice of toast, a smear or cream cheese a slice of salmon, very underwhelming. Being new to the area and after speaking to the woman sitting next to me, I was looking forward to finding a great breakfast spot. So very disappointed. read more

I came here by myself for breakfast one morning and the service good. They seated me fairly quickly. I got the bagel benny and it came with a side of breakfast potato casserole. The breakfast was good, but it was a lot and kind of heavy, especially knowing I was going to be driving that whole day right after. This is the kind of brunch spot to go to if you know you can lounge around all day and can chill out with your friends or family while you're there. I wouldn't necessarily go here first thing if I knew I was going to be on the go all day after. Also, I know it was necessarily their fault since I was just one person there at the table, but I went to the bathroom and wasn't done eating and when I had come back, my food was gone. The prices were decent. I paid around $16 for my breakfast, which wasn't awful. I had never been to Tennessee before this, so I don't know what their food is normally like. Probably not my first choice, but it wasn't my last either. read more
