Scotts Diner in Merced

The atmosphere is fun dive diner. The service was great. I was very disappointed with the meal. I got the western burger, and it was super sauced with ketchup,mayo, BBQ, and thousand island. If you like a super sauced burger, then this will be your jam. The meat was your basic preformed burger patty (not a biggie considering the type of restaurant). The garlic fries were the true disappointment. They were saturated with oil, the garlic tasted off, and there was something sweet about the fries. My sister got the turkey club, and she liked it, and her fries were crispy and not full of oil.Hopefully, the next time I go, they redeem themselves. They seem to be well loved and popular.

Friendly Sevice. They have counter seating. We sat in a booth that has plenty of room Nice eggs Benedict. Good hollandaise, Clean but definitely dated. If you’re looking for a local diner, this is your place. If you don’t want potatoes with your Benedict, they’re willing to substitute a pancake which is really sweet giant and delicious Great prices, good quality, overall a nice experience.

This place is Poppin! Got the bacon and eggs with a side of sausage, and the steak and eggs (which is only $10 M-F!). Service was great, positive vibes, good food, good coffee. I love it. Definitely coming back.

We stopped to have coffee and experience American dining. Service is great. The staff is professional. Food is delicious. Diced potato with bell pepper and onion is the only but great veggie option. Coffee is tasty.

Stopped in this morning while waiting on our rental EV to charge. Its a great cute little diner. Staff was super friendly and nice and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Jasmin was our waitress and she was very friendly and knew the menu very well. The food was very good and was out in like 10 minutes. The bathrooms were also very clean. Overall I would highly recommend this diner! 5 stars all around!

We truly enjoyed our breakfast stop at Scott’s Diner. The eggs Benedict my husband had was one of the best he’d ever tasted. I liked the fact that I could have the chorizo breakfast burrito without eggs and it was delicious! The fruit that came with each meal was fresh and perfectly ripe. I wish we lived closer.

This was our last stop in Merced, got the chicken fried steak and Cali Benedict. The food was amazing! And the service was fast!

Yes, portions are huge! Fries were cooked just the way I like them, crispy 😋Garlic fries were really delicious, too! 😋Burger patties were underseasoned, tough, and looked to be pre-formed. Plus, the brioche bun was cold, and it broke.The chicken avocado club was missing the avocado, and the chicken itself was overcooked to the point of being extremely dry. Or it was cooked ahead of time and hot held for service or flash heated for service.The server was great, attentive, and knowledgeable.
