We went at 1pm on a Saturday thinking there would surely be a wait but managed to sit right down. The waiter was very friendly and made great recommendations without taking 20 minutes to review half the menu.

Located in Cary Scratch kitchen has great hours and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu was very interesting with lots of options. I had brussel sprouts, egg rolls with pork, pork belly tacos, and pot stickers. The food was pretty good but didn’t knock me off of my feet. The redemption is in that there are other options so it’s hard to go wrong. I will definitely be back at Scratch Kitchen to continue sampling the menu.

Scratch is now one of my favorite restaurants in North Carolina. While in the area a friend recommended we stop in for a meal. There was no wait to dine indoors as many customers were seated outside on the patio. I love the southern decor. Fresh flowers, mason jars and beautiful blues and tufted leather.

Nice Environment restaurant, clean and neat. The service is great, our server is very friendly and helpful. Fried green tomatoes was delicious and iron chicken was tasty but Brussels sprouts was too sweet. The smokehouse Mac was bored to me. Huge size of macaroni cheese topped with fried onions and bbq pork was kind of greasy.

Very creative twist on some favorites. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. The dish I ordered was not impressive (the bibimbap bowl) but the loaded fries as an appetizer was very filling.

Food looked good. Food tasted really mid. All our food came out room temperature and partly cold. My steak and eggs bowls was 75% grits. Not worth the money.

Took a relative here for a birthday. We enjoyed it. There were three of us and we went with: Tuna Poke Bowl, Smoky Mac and Scratch Cheese steak. The portions here are quite large……I think the word immense works. The depth of the Smoky Mac skillet is deceptive. It was quite deep and we had enough to take home at least one full serving. …at least 1.5.
