| - I've visited this location several times over the last few years and have always found the breakfast food to be good by the standards of most trendy breakfast places in the area. But the best? Not quite. Personally, it kind of hovers between the 3 and 4 star range for me.
Scrambled opts for the "do it yourself" approach to dining. You order your food at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. You're pretty much responsible for everything else, including silverware, sauces, napkins, and filling up your drink. Not that there's anything wrong with that approach. I'm just not exactly sure what it is that you're wanting me to provide a tip for?
Anyway . . .
Whatever you order, if it comes with hash browns, upgrade them to their "scramble browns," which are probably one of the best creations they have. It's traditional hash browns with cheese and bacon mixed in. We order it every time - without fail!
I usually get the two eggs (scrambled w/cheese), that comes with bacon, bread, and upgraded scramble browns. My girlfriend prefers their strawberry French toast, which I've never really been all too impressed with - as it's basically just the addition of some strawberry cream cheese.
We usually don't go to breakfast during busy hours, but prefer visiting in the early afternoon to avoid the crowds. With most places, this is rarely a problem, but something was definitely off in the kitchen when we arrived 30 minutes before close. I received my order immediately, while my girlfriend never did. Apparently, they had forgotten about her. When she finally said something, I was practically finished with my plate. To top it off, the order they gave her was incorrect. Mistakes happen and they took care of us in the end, but the mishap did seem odd considering the place only had a handful of diners.
Be warned that servings here are pretty small. With what you pay in comparison to some of the other places, don't expect to take anything home.
The breakfast, although slightly overpriced and undersized, is still above average in comparison to many places in Phoenix. Maybe if I were a vegan, vegetarian, or anti-gluten, I'd rate it more highly. The dog-friendly patio is a nice addition.
It's worth a visit if nothing else.
