    blackened chicken
    Annette F.

    This restaurant was recommended and my husband remembered eating here on his previous visit to Norman. The atmosphere is very casual. We chose to sit in the outside area. Service was good. I chose simple grilled chicken with fries. My husband had the blackened chicken with truffle fries. All were cooked nicely and delicious.

    Avocado Toast
    Melissa H.

    Easy Saturday breakfast stop. We arrived right at 9 when they opened with no wait. Meal came out quickly and service was kind. I would for sure stop by again and try something different. I prefer avocado toast that has mashed avocados as it's just easier to eat and you get the same avocado in each bite - but my only change as this place has it all.

    First time here and it was great. Restaurant was very clean and the staff was super nice. Certain cocktails are on happy hour so that's a plus! Will definitely be back

    Botanas
    Elaine M.

    It's a rare occasion we are out for brunch and since we're out of towners, we decided to pop in to see what this place was all about. Sure glad we did! First we were sat right away! The place we tried to go for breakfast right before this place told us we had to wait 30-50 minutes. Not only were we greeted by friendly waitstaff, they gave wonderful recommendations. Without much hesitation, we ordered the botanas and hangover hash. Boy they both were delicious and beautifully plated. Needless to say we finished quickly and were back on the road in a jiffy. We'll definitely stop by the next time we drive in this area!

    Patio

    I think Teddy and I may have found our new weekend lunch spot. Scratch not only has a dog friendly patio that is adorable, they have a dog friendly menu. Teddy has dementia and hip dysplasia so it's getting harder and harder to leave him alone at home. Being able to take him on car rides to cute coffee shops and restaurants when it's too hot to hit the park has been a game changer and has brought us closer together. That being said, not only am I stoked to find a new restaurant that allows my pup, but the service, ambiance and food are impeccable. It's cute indoors also from what I could tell, but the patio is colorful and they had an indie playlist circa 2010 playing. I ordered the Sriracha Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp and it was one of the best Caesars I've had in a long time. The lettuce was crisp, the cheese and dressing weren't overpowering and the shrimp was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It wasn't tough or chewy and burst with flavor. My waitress checked on us frequently.

    Interior- the entire place looks like a social media post with intention out behind creating memoeable moments of togetherness, laughter, and selfies. Lots of faux foliage and neon cursive isms on the walls. We sat at the bar, which gave a beautiful display of the spirits inventory. The menu gave so many good savory options for the Fall weather from pork to beef to seafood, and appeared to feature mushrooms in a lot of their dishes. The bartender said he just started, so we knew to expect novice service. We had to flag him down for every order with only 4 people at the bar and when another staff member came back to help, neither of them could answer questions about the menu items such as whether or not the risotto had mushroom chunks in it. Fried green tomatoes - The plating speaks for itself, so I'll leave that to the readers' discretion. This a favorite for me wherever I go, but this was so bland, I was confused by the lack of flavor medley you usually get with this mixture. It appeared to have pepper seeds but I couldn't find any to determine what they were using for the heat component. They might have opted not to include a pepper. It was entirely watery and watered down. The tomatoes were breaded with more flour than cornmeal, which is fine, but we couldn't figure out what they were seasoned with. With the amount of water left around the slice causing a hard to cut, I stopped at one. This appetizer is served with your option of pimento cheese or black bean corn salsa. We chose the salsa, which is comprised of black beans, corn, tomato, red onion and traces of maybe cilantro or parsley. The buttermilk ranch has something like dill or similar note added into it, which helped make up for the lack of flavoring, but didn't cover the problematic bite. But let's get into the exciting stuff: We ordered the 4 dishes that stood out most based on sides pairings. Meatloaf: a slice of dense, somewhat mushy meatloaf loaded with flavor and topped with heat in the form of a tomato base sauce. It is mentioned on the menu that the space is spicy, but it really give us a surprising heat that balances well with the sweetness and savory notes. It was served on a plateau of red creamed potatoes. Listed as mashed, but definitely creamed. The potatoes mix very well with the flavor able oils from the meatloaf. This dish is also served with a seasonal vegetable which turned out to be eggplant and red bell pepper. I ended up picking out the red bell pepper to add to the risotto that came with the pork loin and leaving the eggplant. Pork tenderloin - encrusted with coffee grounds - a very interesting take on slow cooked pork. The risotto was creamy and soaked up the flavor from the tenderloin, which made for a wonderful infusion. Chicken Alfredo - this creamy dish was an easy fall weather pick. We took this home and the reheat was even thicker and flavorful from the seasoning and juices on the chicken. Salmon - this was served on a bed of thick, hearty risotto with lemon-fried Brussels sprouts. You can't taste lemon, so I think the acidity might have helped balance the Brussels as they cooked down. I prefer a crispy Brussels, so not my cup of tea, but the flavor was nice with the salmon's seasoning. Overall, the service, plating, and quality testing could improve the experience, but I don't want that to overshadow the incredible flavor pairings the kitchen put out for this first visit. Very much looking forward to returning for the next menu turnover to see what amazing plates Scratch will create

    Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
    Jennifer W.

    I have been going here for years. Great place for a good drink and some good food. This time however, they have added Gumbo to the menu. From someone that has been to the bayou more times than I can count, I will whole heartedly say this dish took me back there! This was some of the best Gumbo I've had since my last trip to New Orleans. I would say this is a must try on their menu if you like Cajun food!!

    Seafood pasta
    Ericka W.

    Service was great! Drinks were good. Hawaiian rolls appetizer were boarder-line burnt Got the Hawaiian burger was soggy and not good fries were cold. Also ordered the seafood pasta it was watery and 0 flavor. Will not come back

    Scratch Burger*
    Greg S.

    Great food & excellent service! Sat at the bar quickly & had a really great cocktail, Dark Fantasy. Burger was good, but I forgot that--out West--well-done is the norm. Still: tasty with crispy shoestring fries. Nice chill ambiance, too.

    See all
