    Chicken and waffles
    Mark D.

    Was in the area on a Saturday morning, and I've had this place bookmarked to check out. There was already a nice size crowd inside dining in so it was looking promising that this place was worth my trip. I already knew from looking at the menu before coming in that I was getting chicken and waffles. I like the fact that they let you choose the type of chicken that you want with this option, whether you want tenders, wings, thighs, drumsticks etc. I went with the chicken wings, is my favorite piece of chicken to eat in general. We didn't have to wait that long for our food to come out, and it was piping hot! The chicken wings came out looking very fresh and very good. Broke them apart, and you can see the steam coming out of them, I got very excited! They tasted so good. I also really enjoy my chicken wings being extra crispy, these definitely were that. I didn't ask for them to be specifically made that way, that's the way that they came. I have to say that these might be the best chicken wings I've had in the area. The waffle was also good. Crispy edges and very soft in the middle, just the way that I like it. Also came out very hot and fresh. The service was also very good here, they made sure to check on us to make sure if we need anything, extra syrup, refill of our drinks. I was very impressed with Scratch. I will for sure. Be coming back here again!

    Double fried Chicken, Mac n' Cheese - Regular, Coleslaw
    HeaSun C.

    This was a takeout order of Fried chicken to watch with election results! But they do have seating within the restaurant. It's very no frills and casual place to get lunch. It was my first time, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the double fried. I guess I was expecting it to be crunchier? It was still good, but it just ended up being slightly greasier. Will try the normal fried chicken next time. Coleslaw was quite good, as well as the Mac & Cheese. We also ordered Mashed potatoes. I was a bit surprised it didn't come automatically with gravy -- still yummy though. I didn't read the menu carefully, but all meals come with a small side of slaw, so probably would have ordered something different, as I ended up getting two slaws. Service was quick! By the time I placed the order, and drove to pick it up, it was ready. Definitely will be coming back!

    Biggest and best tenders in town.
    Erik S.

    Scratch has been, and continues to be, our go-to restaurant for some of the best fried chicken in Greensboro, and my review is long overdue for an update, though I do not have a lot new to say because I keep getting the same delicious thing over and over again! The chicken tenders here are monstrous in size, flavor, and ability to provide me with multiple meals! They always come out blazing hot (enough to melt a plastic fork right away, so be careful) with a delicious spice in the batter and an always crispy shell. But the real highlight is when you start combo dipping these beauties in their top notch Korean bbq sauce, and then into their honey mustard. Something about the flavor combo just hits like no other I have found around here. Go get it, you will not be disappointed, and you're gonna need extra sauce for your leftovers! The sides here are always phenomenal as well. We love their baked mac n cheese as a standard, no trip is complete without it. We usually rotate on an additional side though. Our most recent trip we went for the okra, and as you might figure for a place that makes excellent fried chicken, they also fry a mean okra. Perfectly crisp, the okra not chewy at all, goes great with everything. Another winner. Thanks for consistently providing 5 star food and service Scratch team!

    Nashville Hot on Dark Chicken (2pc)

    As far as fried chicken places go, I was content with my experience at Scratch. The night I visited for dinner, I recognized they work on a skeleton crew (only one representative on the floor). It's a small venue, so they may not need it, but covering the phone lines and taking orders at the counter got a bit overwhelming at times. If you're looking for some serious heat, however, this is not your chicken spot. The hottest offering is the Nashville Hot (according to the wait staff), but it didn't make my nose run or tear up at all. While I agree the chicken was cooked well, was a bit let down that the breading slid off my larger pieces.

    Sooo, I UNashamedly like bojangles and kfc - say what you want... it's tasty in a pinch!! And, this is like 100x's better! We were craving a "home-like" meal without the hassle. Ordered an 8 piece, with corn, slaw, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was so juicy and crunchy and perfectly flavored. I typically don't like green beans that aren't "country style" but these were superior to even those! This place is really, really good - superior, even, to my fried chicken & without the mess! Five stars!

    Mango Habanero chilli wings

    The food was just ok. Hate that my wings weren't tossed in. Do not get the collards, 0/10- taste like water. The egg rolls were just ok, can't really rate it but nothing special.

    My dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday lunch and I picked Scratch. I love southern comfort food and some good fried chicken sounded perfect. This quick service restaurant offers a variety of chicken options- on the bone fried either as original or double fried (extra crispy), chicken tenders, chicken n' waffles, chicken sandwiches, wings, and rotisserie chicken. The meals come with slaw and one side. But do allow you to swap to another side of your choosing if slaw isn't your thing. Items can also be ordered a la carts. The prices are very reasonable and the food comes out hot and pretty quick. I got the 3 PC chicken tenders. You can choose to add seasonings or sauces to the chicken as well. I was craving the classic taste, but did get some of the siracha honey and honey pecan sauces on the side for dipping. Their tenders are big and juicy. Great crispy exterior and moist chicken inside. Three was plenty to feel full, but my heart wanted 6 as it was so good. I additionally ordered the green beans and Mac and cheese as sides. Do wish the tenders had a meal deal like the other traditional friend chicken. They have a lot of southern side options. Their green beans are nice and garlicky. The Mac and cheese is the "slab"preparation I like. Big, long, and flat piece with the extra crispy cheese on top. It was super cheesy and delicious. My birthday tummy was very happy.

    Delicious chicken, served fresh and piping hot. Made to order food in a clean, quick serve atmosphere. Nashville hot Sammy is tasty and fresh, it could be a bit hotter though! Sauces are all homemade! Highly recommend this locally owned gem.

    Classic Chicken Sandwich w fries
    Morena G.

    Delicious chicken sandwich! We met there for lunch to celebrate a colleague's birthday. The service was fast and efficient. This restaurant is located in midtown area, and there's much more to explore. The portions are a good size, I ended up taking a to go box. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The place is not too big. I will definitely visit them again.

They serve agua frescas and soft drinks. I ordered the 12 piece combo. They let me try both half fried and half grilled chicken. I chose 1 order of sweet plantains and 2 orders of yuca fries for my 3 sides. Also I was given some dinner bread rolls. The fried chicken has a distinct taste;it was savory and citrusy. There was a crunch to it but not as crispy as the other fried chicken chains and is less greasy. The fried chicken is seasoned with cumin, lime, paprika and cayenne peppers. The grilled chicken tasted super zesty ( heavy flavors of lime/oregano). The plantains is super sweet but soooo yummy!! I enjoyed the yuca fries as well( tasted like sweet fried thick cut potatoes). They carry the Cholula brand hot sauce and not texas pete like most places do. There is a good amount of seatings outdoor with umbrellas and indoor seating. They do catering too. I went on a Friday afternoon and it was not busy. There were many tables filled with family eating lunch. It was quiet. Staff is quick to greet and service. I prefer the grilled chicken over the fried chicken. The fried chicken is good but wasnt too fond of the seasonings and it was a bit dry. I love the side orders,there so delicous.

CSC is a chain, but honestly, gotta admire them. They have zeroed in on doing one thing exceptionally well, and that is chicken salad. Great chicken salad is an art, and most of the time I am left feeling pretty meh about it when I end up having it. That is not the case here. I would happily buy this chicken salad and bring it to events with some fresh bread or just crackers, and am pretty sure no one would complain. It also must be a very profitable business model. I think all of their chicken salad is made at central distribution centers and sent out as needed to different location, and with this particular food, there's not a thing wrong with that. That means your equipment needs at your actual locations are probably not all that stringent, cutting costs as well as what the local inspector could potentially ding you for. Staff too must be easier to train and retain due to this. So for me, yes, I am a fan of this particular chain and have yet to find a menu item I don't care for. I'll continue to go to CSC when I want a protein heavy meal or just something simple. They also have excellent tea and lemonade for a wonderful Arnold Palmer!
