Their desserts are excellent as well as their food is as close as you can get to farm fresh. I appreciated their menu a lot.

Super friendly service and great food and drinks. Was busy, but food still came out fast. Nice outdoor space available. Brunch being served late on Saturdy was a huge plus! Definitely will be back!

Came here for dinner with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The food was incredible. The salad was MASSIVE, the crab cakes were delicious, and the roast chicken was amazing. Great service and able to answer questions about gluten free items on the menu.

Decent tasting , but juice isn't worth the squeeze. Overpriced for the quality you get. Smokehouse pork Mac and cheese had a distinct lack of cheese, pork, and and smokeiness but way too much macaroni. I make better bacon smoked gouda mac and cheese at home for a fraction of price.

Delicious chicken dish with so much protein got my macros and such perfectly done Brussels sprouts with it. Loved this place and highly recommend it for a night out. Thank you!

I really wanted to like Scratch Kitchen and Tap Room, but overall the experience was disappointing and I wouldn’t come back. For a bill that came out to about $70, it definitely didn’t feel worth it.

We started with the pimento cheese wontons, and those were actually the highlight of the meal—crispy, flavorful, and definitely something I would recommend.

Unfortunately, everything else fell short. I ordered the brown sugar iced coffee and was told it wasn’t very sweet, but it ended up being extremely sweet. If you enjoy super sweet coffee, you may like it, but I ended up having to mix in black coffee.

For our mains, we got the huevos rancheros and the chicken biscuit, and both came out cold. The eggs on the huevos rancheros weren’t fully cooked—the whites were still runny/clear—which was pretty off-putting. I had also asked for no cilantro, but it still came with cilantro on top.

The biscuits had an odd taste, almost like the way the restaurant smelled inside—kind of like cleaner—which made them hard to enjoy.

Maybe this was just a bad day or a one-off experience, but based on this visit, I wouldn’t return. The appetizer was good, but the rest of the meal really missed the mark, especially considering the price.

I had never been here before today and thought that it was absolutely fantastic. My partner had a honey drop drink and I had Anutta Butta Beer. They were both incredible drinks and mine was a little bit sweet but the phone was fantastic! We shared a plate of scratch fries. Those are the best fries we've ever had. Anywhere hands down! So much flavor and definitely a lot of food. Our suggestion was to make a half portion of fries. That plate alone can feed three to four people. We also shared Dutch, chicken and pancake. It came out in a really cool cast iron plate. The pancake was one of the best I have ever had. The chicken was out of this world! And the syrup that they complimented with the food was light, airy, and flavorful. We also had some strawberries and blueberries thrown on there and it made a very well-rounded dish. Neither of us know how we have never been here before, but we want to tell everyone about it!! If you have the opportunity to come here, don't pass it up

One of my favorite places I continue to go back to. Service and food are always excellent. The menu has just the right amount of options that anyone I go with has something they will enjoy.

Parking can sometimes be full, but the last few times it hasn't been an issue.

This was our second visit to this outstanding gem in Cary. We thoroughly enjoyed the Westminster Abbey Burger which was a powerful combination of sweet and savory flavors accompanied by nicely seasoned fries. The BLT was delicious with candied bacon combined with the green tomatoes. The cole slaw was very good as well. While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the complimentary seasoned snack mix. The hot towels to begin the meal was a very nice touch. As this was lunch we didn't try the vast array of cocktails. The decision of what to choose would have been difficult as they all sounded good. We feel this restaurant has the perfect balance of providing a top quality restaurant experience at a reasonable price point in a relaxed atmosphere. The wait staff was very good providing quick and friendly service. Unfortunately they were out of the pumpkin cake which sounded amazing. We wanted to get some to take home and our kind waitress tried to suggest something else to try but our hearts were set on this seasonal treat. We highly recommend Scratch for a unique, delicious meal whenever you are in downtown Cary!

Impressed with our meals- especially the steak bowl with bibimbap sauce. We shared and traded around each of the three entrees and we each liked them all. The huevos rancheros and Dutch baby meals were also great. Definitely will return.
