| - I'm honestly not sure how I've never written my review for Scratch considering the frequency with which I eat here. I love Scratch and it's one of my go-to places for lunch during the workweek. It's also one of my favorite places to indulge for a weekend breakfast and a great place to catch up with an old friend.
I love that everything here is made to order. You can tell that the folks in the kitchen love trying new things and want to ensure their food is hot, fresh, and often innovative. I've had so many dishes here that's it's hard to be specific, but some of my favorites have included their brisket mac and cheese special (that coffee jus was divine), the tiramisu packages, and the breakfast burrito. I've also enjoyed their hot apple cider, a squash special, the hot brown soup. The crispy hot potatoes that serve as the side for many dishes are also outstanding.
The chef often steps out to ask our group how we liked everything, and it's great to see that he likes customer feedback and wants to make sure we are happy.
The inside is quaint and suits the name of the restaurant: wood and lots of writing from customers on the wall.
I've had a few issues at Scratch from time to time, but they're rare. I didn't care for their BLT and there have been a couple of times when a server was more curt than normal, probably due to how busy they were. There have also been quite a few times when I can't make it back to the office because lunch takes a long time to come out, but that's to be expected when things are made to order. To combat this, we try to go earlier to beat the lunch rush, and any issues I've had are honestly not enough to make me stop coming. I really like this place and hope it continues to thrive!
