    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

    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.

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

I stopped by on a Sunday just before a rush, so I was able to get my food ordered and made promptly. I just had the spicy chicken katsu sandwich and fries, which was very good. Particularly with the sheer amount fries in the box, you could easily split it. I do want to eventually come by and try one of their desserts, but I was absolutely stuffed after my food, so I did not indulge this time. Considering the serving size, I think the price is very reasonable. It's not a huge menu, but sometimes that's just a sign that they only make what they know they can do well. Highly recommended

I was greeted promptly and then the cashier helped me select some items since it was my first time here. Went with the egg salad sando and togarashi fries and a pork tonkatsu sando with sweet curry fries. They both came with a curry dip. Togarashi is the clear winner, even for a curry fan like me. The decor is so cute, with murals and a variety of seating. There are cards and games in one corner. Note: this is NOT fast food. Ingredients are prepped, but the time it takes to fry a pork tonkatsu is the time it takes. There were only half a dozen people in front of me, but there was a bit of a wait. I'd love to come back and try the taiyaki and fruit sandos. I'll be enjoying my leftovers for the next couple of days. The egg salad sando seems very pricy, volume-wise compared to the pork.

    I could muster an unoriginal joke regarding the how big of a mouth you need for a big mouth…read moresandwich. Consider yourself spared. I shall jump straight to the good stuff: the sandwiches. Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.
