With the reopening also comes a revamped menu that blends classic, home-style comfort food with the signature breakfast and lunch offerings that have made Scrambles a local favorite for years.

Now, under Perrault’s leadership, the east Ocala eatery is officially back in business. With renovations complete and the new menu rolled out, the east Ocala location will look to continue the building’s decades-long legacy.

The restaurant’s grand reopening marks a positive new chapter for the historic location, which had previously closed its doors following the tragic passing of former owner Diane German.
