I've been to Scratch in Independence a handful of times, but this is my first time finally writing…read morea review and it's well deserved because this place never disappoints. I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.

They are moving to their other location in Bedford as an expanded location. That out of the way. I still live this place. Good prices. Large portions. Fast courteous service. All the things you want in a diner. Strictly Bfast and lunch. But they do have dinner entrees you can order stuffed cabbage and fish dinner as well. Specials too. And bfast all day which I highly recommend. Pancakes are soooo good. Today I got the buffalo chicken wrap with grilled chicken, with fries and cup of soup. The soup, chicken noodle was hot at the table. That's how soup is suppose to come to you hot! The buffalo chicken wrap was grilled and full of ingredients. Large portions and great lunch. Lots of people for a Thursday afternoon. People ordering all types of Bfast and lunch foods. Typical diner look with booths and tables. Good place! Check it out till june1 then go down the road to Bedford and see them there too.

I was surprised how small it was but it gives it personality. I like it! This diner has been open for over 60 years and it has an old jukebox machine and other vintage decor that really transports you back in time and gives you a unique, fun experience! The service was fantastic!! All the staff were so nice and attentive the entire lunch. Everyone that works there seems so happy and it's definitely a family vibe. This diner is really unique and special and I can't wait to come back again. The food was amazing and portion sizes were excellent. Food service was quick and chef was singing songs it was fun to watch! It puts you in a good mood just sitting inside. The only complaint I have is that the vent in the ceiling does have dust on it and the fan was running so it needs to be cleaned down up there but honestly I really don't have anything but positive to say about this hidden gem, Jim's open kitchen!

2 Stars -- Great Food, Terrible Overall Service…read more The Original Pancake House in Woodmere has great food, but unfortunately, the overall service during our visit was terrible. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, which wasn't a problem. We were enjoying time with family and looking forward to a good meal. The problem started AFTER we were seated. The hostess took our drink order but told us she only takes drink orders. Then we waited another 30 minutes without anyone greeting us or taking our food order. At one point, another waitress actually said, "I see you looking at me, but I'm not taking your order." Wow. Eventually, a very nice waitress came over and took care of us. She was great! Our food came out fairly quickly, everything was hot and delicious, and the price was reasonable at around $20 per person. Meanwhile, three hostesses were standing at the front singing and harmonizing with no customers instead of helping the clearly overwhelmed waitstaff. It felt like they were preparing to be discovered on American Idol while we were waiting just to place an order. There was no manager around to address the situation, and at one point, the restaurant even started getting smoky. The food was good and our eventual waitress was wonderful, but waiting nearly an hour from arrival just to place a food order is unacceptable. Great food. Great waitress once we got one. Terrible overall service.

When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more. Everyone enjoyed their meals and with great service, we agreed that this could be a place we visit when we're in the area. Great stuff!

She was hesitant to choose this place at first because she wanted more options than just burgers/sandwiches. Thankfully we found some Google images of the menu that had rice bowls. Friend ordered a salmon rice bowl and I ordered their famous donut burger. I thought the donut was a little too small and skinny for the price at $14. Also, this is a big kicker--no fries or sides! Within the burger, just a square of Kraft cheese, some bacon, smash burger type patty (2) but no onions, tomatoes or even cucumbers (or pickles). The value is just not it for this. Did it taste good? It did but I needed more of a crunch. Just 1 or 2 slices of raw onion would've been good. Oooooh or like crispy haystack onion straws would be perfect. Server said fries were an additional $5. Okay, no thanks! The place was really loud. It echoed slightly and just the clientele were extremely rowdy on a non-holiday Wednesday evening. It took a while to get seated, for server to even come over to take our order and to request our check. Not very impressed with the experience.

This is a cute, convenient place to frequent.
