| - We've been to the new Scrambler Marie's in North Olmsted twice thus far. The place reminds me of 'First Watch', and it is on the same excellent level as them quality-wise, and price-wise. SM's is a very nice place to have a real, hearty breakfast (or lunch), the food tastes great, and the portions are huge (the pancakes are the size of a medium sized frisbee!). The staff is friendly and competent too, and the rest rooms clean (big plus). The coffee was a bit bitter and 'off tasting' the first time we went, but much smoother tasting and much improved the second time. Since I go out to breakfast almost every day, I like to 'mix it up' a bit -- one day I go to a bagel joint, the next day Panera's, the next a diner / family restaurant, and at least twice a week, places like First Watch or Scrambler Marie's. SM is a welcome addition to the North Olmsted community, and a really inviting place to have one's morning grub!
UPDATE February 2015: We went back recently, and it was the PERFECT breakfast experience! Their pancakes and omelettes are literally HUGE, so I ordered the 'mini' veggie & cheese omelette (I think made with 2 or 3 eggs instead of 4). My wife ordered cinnamon raisin pancakes. Everything was perfect! And the coffee was amazing! Smooth, flavorful, and not harsh at all. They must have 'fine tuned' the coffee to the point where it is ideal now. The servers are nice and pleasant as well. Weekdays are not nearly as crowded as on the weekends, where you will often encounter a waiting period. North Olmsted needed more diner & family restaurant type breakfast places, and now we have a great one! Way to go Scramber Marie's! Lastly, the music they were playing was ideal! Mostly softer, classic rock/pop.... perfect! We will return many many times.
