It's aight, nothing crazy, kinda pricey and slow. Like every restaurant in the area, bored teenagers rarely give great service.

4.4 star is a not correct, 4.6+… Food was fantastic, facility and decor spot on, and Paige was happy, friendly, and attentive without being over baring. Wedge salad delicious! West Minster Abbey Buger was a fantastic combination of flavors. A perfect lunch at an under rated restaurant.

Had harvest salad and blt, both were amazing with complex taste. Paige was an amazing server.

I landed on a 3 star review simply bc the food doesn't match the price. The portions are big and the service is great, but the food is just good/okay. Nothing really stood out as being superb. The service, however, was the best part. Incredible attention and the food came out SO dang fast. Parking over near there is crappy but manageable. Enjoy a nice cocktail, get the firecracker shrimp, and find a good final plate to top it off for a fun evening with friends.

Asian fusion restaurant with some great dishes. I'm a huge fan of the Korean beef bowl, they've nailed this dish with perfectly cooked rice and all the sides

family went a few days ago for the very 1st time. Upon entering the hostess sat us at a table. There wasn't much of a crowd.and we did not have to wait. Once seated NOT.1 person came.to.our table to greet us, give water,etc. We waited over 10 mins and STILL no service. We got up and exited. We will never come back to this establishment and will NOT recommend either. Disappointed.

Review: Scratch Kitchen & Taproom - Cary, NC
We recently had an opportunity to dine at the Scratch Kitchen for lunch with family and the kids and wanted to share a few things about our experience.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and we had options of picking from the Lunch menu and the Brunch menu, which provided a ton of options from breakfast, appetizers, salads, bowls, noodles, burgers, and entrees. The options were a bit overwhelming; at one point, several people at the table had to ask the waiter for recommendations because it was a bit too much. As a food critic, it is always very concerning when a restaurant has a ROBUST menu because it’s hard to be consistent with the food quality with extensive menus.
Entrees
Bibimbap Bowl - Seared Rice Bowl with Shaved and Marinated Ribeye Steak, Fresh Spinach, Carrots, Green Onions, Pickled Red Onions, Cucumbers and Over-Easy Egg. Served with Spicy Bib Sauce.
This dish really had the perfect combination of flavors, blended together with the tenderness of the steak, the array of colors, tastes, and textures of the vegetables, and the rich, creamy egg overlay on top. My only complaint was that the spicy bib sauce was really spicy. Mind you, the waiter did warn us. It was more than expected. I love spicy, but others may find it overwhelming.
Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Waffle-Battered Fried Chicken with Spicy Maple Syrup Aioli, Candied Bacon and House Pimento Cheese with Scratch-Made Pickles. Served on A Locally Made Brioche Bun. This waffle batter chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy, juicy and tender inside, and seasoned to perfection. The maple syrup aioli added an outstanding balance of heat and sweet flavors, adding the smoky sweet candied bacon, with the creamy richness of the pimento cheese and the contrast of flavors with the homemade pickles. The dish was the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy to elevate this sandwich beyond normal expectations.
Chicken Dutch Pancake - Dutch baby pancake baked in cast iron with hand-breaded fried chicken, fresh berries, and rosemary lemon maple syrup. I can’t really explain what this was. The fried chicken was a superior elevation, just like the sandwich, but the pancake was genuinely questionable. I think we were all very disappointed. My biggest challenge was the texture of the pancake; being more like a “flan” texture, I would almost call it a Flan Pancake. The saving grace of the dish was the flavor profile, with the sweetness of the berries mixed with rosemary maple syrup, which provided citrusy, earthy notes. It was a great blend of savory, sweet, and herbal flavors.
OVERALL, it was a great experience. Surprisingly, with all the things on their menu, for the most part, the food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend going. Just dig a little and ask questions before you order.
Food was excellent and so was the custom mixed drinks.
Tad expensive, but worth it.

So good! I got a burger and potato salad which was amazing. I loved it. We also got the pimento wontons, soooooo good. The chicken fried bao buns were a 3/5 would not recommend. Atmosphere is good!
