    Chicken CAESAR WRAP
    Caylen H.

    This was one of the best caesar wraps I've had! The homemade sauce was very good and made it delectable! Everything was fresh and had a great crunch with croutons. The service was fast considering its in a food hall!

    I'm basing my review on customer service and the convenience! I ordered sandwiches to be catered for an event at City Foundry. I needed something easy for folks to eat and enjoy while being able to stand/ stroll. I ended up ordering two trays of chicken salad sandwiches via email with the owner. I would assume they have an online ordering option as well, but I had some specific questions to ask, so I went the email route. Ordering was pleasant and simple, and I also ordered salad. It was ready to pick up, and the staff member helped me walk/ wheel my food to my event venue. Everyone was kind and super helpful. I didn't get a chance to eat them since I was working and they were gone by the end of the event, I take this as a great sign :) I also heard tons of great feedback!

    Spicy Crispy Chicken, Spicy Wings, Fries
    Ryan D.

    'Twas disappointing I got the spicy chicken sandwich with scratch sauce & my partner got spicy wings & fries. The fries hit. Crispy, hot, and they have some type of house seasoning on them..good stuff. Now this spicy chicken was another story. Remember those school lunch chicken sandwiches..those are the vibes but spicy as hell. No flavor just spice same with the wings just spice. Idk I expected spicy with flavor, I just sat there with a spicy mouth couldn't taste nothing but spicy. Adding the scratch sauce helps but ehhh. The disappointment was in the food not the service, cashier was great. Helpful young fella etc. etc.

    Chicken Caesar wrap, tenders, fries, ranch and bbq sauces

    Grabbed Chicken Scratch at the Foundry last night before a movie! There wasn't too big of a line and after we ordered, it only took 10 minutes or less to get our food. I got two chicken tenders with a side of fries and their ranch style sauce, and my boyfriend got the chicken caesar wrap - one of his favorite foods! The chicken tenders were very good and absolutely piping hot - took ages to cool down. I didn't try the wrap but he reported it was good but nothing extra special. The nice thing was that it was all extremely filling so it felt like we got our moneys worth! The ranch wasn't my favorite but I think that is a personal preference. The fries might have been the best part, I loved the seasoning! I'd happily go back.

    Son wanted CFA so this was the best alternative. Chicken was super duper dry as if it was intentional. Wasted $14 because son didn't want to eat it.

    Unicorn wings
    Josh M.

    I love the Foundry Food Hall and have been trying several venues within since I discovered. I had a hankering for wings, so when I saw Chicken Scratch's offering, I ordered the flavor they said would be the hottest. All that to say the 'unicorn' sauce was A) not hot and B) not that interesting. Considering they named it after something highly desirable but difficult to find or obtain...I was underwhelmed. Overall the wings were fine and drenched in sauce, but I'll probably try a different food stall next time if I get the same craving. Maybe I'll give the other items on the menu a try and update my review.

    We are not talking CFA chicken sandwiches here. Sandwiches made fresh in front of your eyes in an open kitchen. The location is inside the STL Foundry which is a newer food hall and entertainment venue. Order off the kiosk because this is a one man operation. Expect order to take up to 15 minutes if orders ahead. Pay by cash or card and can tip off the machine. They offer bottled drinks only. Sandwich was good! Crispy chicken, fresh pickles and can add sauces. Bun was average, but fresh. The staff friendly, but busy! I would return. 3.5 rounding up and would return.

    Chicken caesar wrap and fries
    Steven F.

    I frequent the Foundry food hall and had yet to check out Chicken Scratch, since I'm not always in the mood for a chicken sandwich. But I do love a chicken caesar wrap, and I saw it on the menu. It wasn't one of the best ones I've ever had, it was very bland. Barely any dressing, and more croutons than chicken. I mean I do love croutons but still. The photo makes it look more full than it was, after a couple bites of each side, it was mostly tortilla and lettuce. For $13 ($22 after fries and a tip), I'll pass on the caesar wrap next time. But maybe I'll try a chicken sandwich. Service was meh. Only 2 people working, but it wasn't exactly a popping day at the Foundry. Employee at the counter barely said a word except for my total, he didn't seem particularly thrilled to see me, but I've worked customer service so I know we have off days.

    Dry spicy rub wings

    The food was hot but the wings were so covered in a dry spicy rub they were not edible.... A waste of money for sure

    I had the 1/4 rotisserie chicken meal. The portion is kind of small for a meal. It only came with the chicken (leg&thigh) and a side salad for like $16. Got the food pretty fast and it tasted good. Well.

    The spicy and crispy chicken sandwich were both delicious. Not oily or messy , seasoned just right . Hot and fresh . So were the fries(crunchy and well seasoned ) and the coleslaw . Highly recommend the unicorn sauce (mix of hot sauce and house sauce ) . Service was great and food arrived quickly. They also have whole and half chicken . I would eat here for sure when I have a fried chicken craving . Located in the city foundry with lots of seating areas and communal tables . Will eat here again and again that's for sure.

    Chicken Scratch Dry Rub. You can pick up at the restaurant!

    I've been using Chicken Scratch Dry Rub on chicken and fish, and it's a total game-changer! It's bold and flavorful without being too much, and just the right amount of kick! I usually struggle with cooking fish (it never turns out quite right), but somehow this seasoning makes it taste like a pro made it. Honestly, it makes everything better. I throw it on and instantly feel like a chef!

    Spicy  crispy chicken sandwich
    Jason V.

    It was okay. For $23-something I got the spicy chicken sandwich, large order of potato wedges and a can of Diet Coke. Whoopity. The sandwich was alright; didn't care much for the sauce it came with. I don't even know what was in it, but it was a little sweeter than I thought it was. I should have gotten a smaller order of wedges but I wasn't sure how big the portions were. I thought it was very pricey, but I gotta keep telling myself that these businesses probably pay high rent at the old Foundry, so... Service was okay. The curly haired Gen-Z'er dude wasn't that friendly, or maybe he just didn't want to be there. Anyway, thought I'd try this place out. Let's just say I've had better chicken sandwiches.

    WOULD recommend (general). Stop by on a hot summer day, they have few locations in the St. Louis…read morearea so we decided this one since it was around the way from what we were doing that day. They have drive-in lot right by the service windows with the outdoor patio seating (resembles Sonic Drive-In). They have a menu for viewing outdoor but can also look online since its consistent amongst all locations. When we went, we first ordered the 2x3 tender-wing combo (Level 2 heat) w/ side of Mac & Cheese and Chuck's sauce/Honey Sriracha Aioli; and also ordered the Chicken Sandwich (Level 3 heat) + coleslaw w/ side of French Fries and Chuck's sauce. First piece of advice I would go up with the heat level, we overestimated the level. For someone who wanted heat but not too much heat, level 3 was too mild and could have done level 4/5, same for level 2 could have done level 3. For the chicken sandwich, I wish they could have put full cuts of cabbage rather than minced pieces in the middle; I also think the sandwich could be little more tender but flavor wise, the sandwich is not lacking at all (rating 7.8/10). But they absolutely LOADED me with fries in my box so I appreciate them for that (rating 8.6/10). For the 2x3 combo, it was actually 2x4 (gave extra wing), I personally recommend the Honey Sriracha Aioli with the chicken (rating 7.5/10). If you are a honey mustard lover like me, then Chuck's sauce is perfect, its a mix of honey mustard with dash of BBQ sauce. The side of mac & cheese was above par in my opinion, could use a little more seasoning but I liked it nonetheless (rating 8.1/10). They also had frozen lemonade that can be mixed (strawberry lemonade and lemonade flavor), definitely recommend especially during this summer heat. Overall, I enjoyed my visit here, the service was timely and the lady at the counter was very polite. They give you a little pager to let you know when your order is up. This is a solid option, especially compared to other franchises like Dave's Hot Chicken. They also are on DoorDash if you wanted to have delivered.

    Amazing food. I love their hot chicken and their fries! One thing to note is the food takes a while…read moreto be ready so I'd recommend ordering ahead. But it's well worth the wait.

I usually go for the Nugz but this time wanted to stay away from fried options so I got the STL salad, minus cheese and the summer sandwich also without cheese, cause I am a weirdo about cheese. We sat in the next room over at a high-top table. Our food was delivered in a timely manner by a friendly server. The STL salad was great, lots of peppadews, tomatoes, and onion. The dressing was just right, not too much and had a bright, vinegary flavor. The sandwich came on a brioche bun and it was so soft! I was happy with the sandwich, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the avocado ranch was good. Great for a late Sunday lunch, quick and easy with good service and great food!
