The expedited our food and constantly checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. The food was good and a great deal. Overall Jared and Jeff COMPLETELY turned our night around.

“Decor is cool inside. Food was very good, maybe a bit pricey for some items but overall good. *NOTE* They have a Negroni cocktail hour from 4:30-6:30 IF YOU SIT AT THE BAR. It was our first time there so we ordered a couple at the table and found out later sitting at the table does not count. The waitress was going to try and give us the drinks for that rate but it didn’t happen. I wouldn’t have ordered the $25 appetizer knowing the drinks were that much. Lessons learned I guess. I would go again, but just be more cautious on what I order is all ☺️“

“Ok so we’ve dined at Old Scratch Troy location about 6 times since it’s opened. Waited a bit to give them time to really get in their groove. While I do recommend the place. Pizza is good, staff is nice (especially Amanda at the bar) and shareables are tasty. That said I would like to see the food’s taste be a little more consistent. My favorite dish is the fire roasted cauliflower but sadly it hasn’t been prepared the same way twice with the last two times it was barely seasoned at all once it was almost raw. Hopefully as training continues they will fix that issue.“

We started off with pretzel bites, hot and delicious! Started off with cups of gumbo, perfect on a cold rainy day! Great soup loaded with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Then the 4 of us had deluxe pizza, a tuna melt, chicken quesadilla and the Italian sub. Everything was great. The pizza crust was crispy and light. Perfect!“
