I have been here 3 times and I love so many parts about it but the food is hit or miss for me. My fries have always disappointing. They’ve not been hot, nor crispy either time I’ve ordered them. The BLT is spicy, so be careful. The pork Mac and cheese is awesome and I made another dish out of the left overs. Crème Brûlée is great. Staff can been seen in the kitchen on their phones and it doesn’t present well. Perk up the runners because they greet your customers with their food. It’s always packed, but I feel Everything could come up a notch…like hey, runner guy, don’t let me see you run your fingers through your hair as you walk to tables with food. Front house, escort bar seating guests to the seat of their choice. If your food can be as great as the music you play, I’ll be here every day.

Was in Cary for a concert and found Scratch Kitchen. It was amazing! I ordered off the brunch menu and got the steak and egg bowl. I can't tell you how delicious it was!!! I also got the Fizz cocktail and it was very refreshing and tasty! Good service roun recommend!ded out the experience! I highly recommend!

There is a lot on the menu that is interesting to try. I just wasn't wowed by anything I ordered this time. We will give them another try. We didn't care for the egg rolls or potato salad at all. The bibimbap was good but my egg was fried too hard and the dish needed the extra moisture. My dirty martini was too dirty so it was salty. The chicken salad and scratch fries were good.

After hearing rave reviews from friends, we decided to give this place a try. Excellent cocktails! Don't sleep on the Cedar Fizz. The firecracker shrimp with okra were sumptuous. Our whole party enjoyed themselves. Great service. Halfway through appetizers, we were planning our return visit.

Lot's of choices, relaxed environment. Between 4 of us we had the Fried Green Tomato Stacks and Spicy Tuna Sushi for appetizers. Everything was prepared hot, quickly and with a smile. The Scratch Philly was huge, but the Blues Mac & Cheese was enough to feed several family.. it was that big.. and you could not stop eating it! Please give them a try!

Bimbimbap bowl, poke bowl, and scratch BLT were all delicious. Appetizer fries were unusual flavors but really good. We will be coming back there are a lot of things we wanted to try!

I had the Scratch Philly and it was delicious! The fries were seasoned and crispy. I ate every last one.

My new favorite place in downtown Cary. The menu is diverse but also comfortable try the Bibimbap fresh and flavorful and fairly priced. The drinks are just as adventurous and standard and well made.The bartender was really busy but also very attentive to the customers seated at the bar.Plenty of seating and great decor.If you are new to the area remember street parking and the parking lot at the restaurant can be difficult. Plan on using one of the nearby city lots and its a pleasurable walk of one or two blocks.

Delicious food and excellent service. Fun mix of fresh ingredients and Korean/American fusion of flavors. The outside heaters made for a perfect December patio lunch date for a couple of neighborhood locals.

I loved this place and will definitely be back! Check out my picture of the salad with the seared pear, which had the consistency of ahi tuna. Impressive. Also pictured is the Bibimbap bowl and the shrimp and grits. Also, Cary was decorated so beautifully for Christmas, so definitely worth the trip and a great opportunity to walk around and see the Christmas decorations after a drink and a meal.
