What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

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.

Update. Been a bit since we've eaten here. Still the same. Met some friends here on a Tuesday…read more Wasn't crowded. The server was very nice and accommodating. We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.

This location is right down the hill from my hotel, so I thought I'd give them a try. The place reminds me of "Village Inn"... A 24 hour restaurant a step up from a diner we used to have out in West Texas and the Southwest. I wonder if village inn is still around...but I digress. The first few moments in the door were ominous. I watched an older gentleman pacing... waiting for a to-go coffee. All he could say to his wife was that "she disappeared...". It had probably been 3 to 5 minutes when he finally asked about his coffee... meanwhile... I was still waiting to be seated. The server gave the older gentleman his coffee with a half-ass excuse about being needed in the kitchen. Once seated, my server was pleasant enough. No nonsense. Took my order and only checked on me once after I had my food. Opted for the taste of the farm trio...basically a Thanksgiving plate. It was okay. You can tell with the uneven heat levels in the food they must make large batches in advance. Overall: it was okay, nothing to write him about. I'm fairly certain all the employees in this location hate their lives. No one was overly friendly. Probably won't be going back to Bob Evans during my trip.

Upon arrival, there was no hostess present, so I walked past to the carryout area. One customer was ahead of me, and a cashier walked away. She never returned, but yelled to the customer that she had 2 more times being prepared. I watched who seemed to be a manager walk up ans proceed to check out customers from the dining area, who I had been waiting for about 10 minutes ahead of. He never greeted me, nor looked my way. After another 5 mins he walked back over and asked was I cashing out, or picking up. I gave my name and he handed me the bag. He never apologized for the wait, or even thanked me for stopping in. I arrived 2:42p, I did not leave until 3:06p. The food was obviously cold when I got it, and my son's French fries in his chicken tender kids meal were, sparse and tough. I've never had an issue like this with Bob Evans before. I will never be back to this location, if at all. There are too many mom and pop places, to choose from.
