The very definition of a hole-in-the-wall greasy-spoon diner.1. Limited counter seating? Check. 2. Locals-only regulars? Check.3. Outdated décor? Check.4. Sassy server? Check. 5. Huge portions? Check.6. Great food cooked expertly? Check.7. Absurdly low prices? Check. Setting foot in Scottie's is like stepping back in time...in the best way possible. Finding a seat is pure luck; show up early or be prepared to wait, but know that you will be waiting outside, because there isn't an inch of spare room inside. If you do find a coveted spot, grab it because it won't be there long - and be prepared to rub shoulders and knees with the person next to you. Don't worry; that's all part of the experience. You might not know them when you first arrive, but you'll be best friends by the time you leave. Pro tip: the cook is not Scottie. There is no Scottie anymore. Presumably there was a Scottie once, but his whereabouts are unknown. At least to me.Jackie is amazing. If you've seen "Alice," she is the embodiment of Flo. I'm kinda shocked I haven't heard her tell someone to "Kiss my grits!" yet. She delivers good-natured sass just as frequently as plates of steaming hot food. Again, all part of the experience. Your food is cooked to order in front of you, so you know it's fresh. Even if the place is packed it won't take long, because there are only a handful of seats. And about that food: it's damn good. You can't go wrong with any of the skillets. The biscuits and gravy are wonderful. The toast, slathered with melted butter? Heavenly. The pancakes are enormous and awesome. The coffee, hot and delicious. Best of all, when you're handed your check, you will invariably mutter out loud, "That's it?!" The prices are insanely low. They're what you might have paid for breakfast in the 1980s. Two people can easily walk out of there stuffed and only $15 poorer. Tip Jackie well. She deserves it.It may be hot in there. It will definitely be cramped in there. You might see a fly or two. You'll leave smelling like grease. But you will be happy and satisfied and already planning your next visit. Besides, like I said...All part of the experience.

Good home cooking style place. Small with only seating for about 10-12 but a great hidden gym. Friendly service. We were stopping for a bite to eat driving through and decided to try it out. Cool layout as they cook the food on a grill just behind the counter. You won't be disappointed! We all ordered breakfast items.

Good food, engaged staff, neat setting. You sit at the counter and watch the chef. It's what our family of 5 were looking for in this neat small midwestern town.The price was perfect so we are going back again today. They even gave my kids a candy gift at the end of breakfast and my kids are all practically adults.

Excellent food. Sassy server with a big heart. Prices are very good. You might need to wait because the place only had 15 or 16 stools. But well worth it.

This little hole in the wall is one of the best places to eat at. Everything made to eat fresh right in front of you. Not much seating so get in where you fit in. Definitely worth it.

A classic counter diner of the 1950s-1960s. That means limited counter seating and the world's smallest restroom. But do stick around, it's worth the wait! Scottie's stock in trade is cooked breakfast to order-- eggs any way, bacon, hash browns, toast and good coffee. I've eaten here many times-- never disappointed with either the service or the clientele.

I wish I could give this place ten stars for service, quality and taste of the food. The wife had chicken fried steak and promptly declared it some of the best she's ever had. She is a fanatic about chicken fried steak. She also said this place was right up there with our, till now only, favorite breakfast place Manny's Snack Shack. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy with hash browns and an over medium egg. Some of the best, if not the best I have ever had. Let's talk about that over medium egg. It seems to be nye on impossible to get one that is cooked right. The egg that can with meal was done to perfection - lots of runny yolk with a firm white. Heavenly.Service: We called for curb side pickup when we were 20 min away. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly. No sooner than we pulled up out front he came out with our order. We didn't even have to call. Talk about service.WE WILL BE BACK!!!! ps: Now I am off to mark this as one of my favorites on Google maps!

It's like walking into 1950's America. No tables only a counter complete with a sassy waitress who knows all the gossip in town. You can watch the cook make your breakfast fast as he chats with the regulars. Can't beat the prices and the food is excellent and the coffee cup is never empty. Great Saturday morning date place for sure.
