    Big flavors, a few misses, but worth a visit. Tried Scratch Kitchen on a whim and overall had a good experience. Beer was great, but the martini fell flat--no heat or depth. The hummus and whipped feta appetizer stole the show, easily the best thing we tried (though more bread would've been nice). Burgers were excellent: The Spicy South had fresh flavors and a nice kick, while Somewhere Near Nashville was huge and well-seasoned. Fries were meh, and service had a couple hiccups (late salad, no extra bread). All in all, solid food with some room for improvement, including more lighting for outdoor seating. A 7/10 spot we'd revisit if we're in the area.

    Garlic parm fries with horseradish aioli
    Kyshia M.

    It's cool but overpriced. Came here for lunch and had to wait 10-15 min before anyone asked how many people were in our party. We sat outside since it was busy but not to capacity. I ordered the caprese panini and shared the garlic boo-boo I'm in the shower and try to eat it parm fries.b The panini was good but not worth $15. Should have been $8 max. The fries were good, I like how they are a thick cut and was perfectly fried, also comes with a horseradish aoili. Different, blended well with the fries but not super strong with the heat. The fries are good but not worth $11, should have been $5-$6 max. This place isn't bad but definitely overpriced. Sitting outside is a nightmare with all the flies that will attack your food.

    Spicy South
    Jenna M.

    We had a great experience visiting Scratch Kitchen, the menu had plenty of intriguing options and I had a hard time deciding what to try first. I ordered the Bacon Basil Chicken Salad with a side of Sweet Potato Fries and my boyfriend got The Spicy South Burger with a side of Coleslaw. They also have an expensive beer and cocktail menu as well as wine. Our server was Alec, he was friendly and hospitable. They have options for both outdoor and indoor seating, we sat outside but there were a lot of flies around so I would recommend sitting inside unless you have a furry friend accompanying you. Overall we enjoyed it and will be back again I'm sure.

    this was my ultimate go to spot when I lived in Mooresville, you're gonna have great food and amazing cocktails EVERY SINGLE TIME!

    Came for dinner with some coworkers...service was prompt and drinks were brought out immediately! The Arnold Palmer was the perfect ratio of tea and lemonade. The truffle fries were awesome! Perfectly crispy with the right amount of seasoning! Ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. Overall it was ok. The sweet potato fries with the maple dipping sauce was awesome though! Overall a good place to come either way good vibes.

    Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Kenny C.

    I've ordered from here twice this week - got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich the first time, and ordered a burger the second time. The chicken breast on my Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was really high quality, really big, fresh, and I really liked the way it was fried. My only complaint (and it's an important one) is the Nashville hot sauce was pretty weak and mild. I got excited when I saw it on the menu, but ultimately I won't be ordering it again because it just didn't pack the punch I'm looking for in a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. The burger was also big and high quality, my only complaint is it was a little overdone compared to what I typically would order. They don't give you any doneness options to choose from (at least on DoorDash). Overall it's a solid 4 stars. Quality food and large portions.

    This was my first time at Scratch Kitchen. I was definitely pleased with our waitress (I forgot to get her name). Scratch is very casual with seating outdoor seating. Close to lake Norman. Now onto the food I got the pulled pork sandwich I could only eat half it was so big. My friend got the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. For an appetizer we got the potato chips with bacon bites and cheese. For me do wish they would layer as most of the cheese and bacon was on top of the chips. They also have a fully stocked bar and serve specialty drinks. Definitely a spot I would return to. So the next time you're in Mooresville NC go check them out.

    Grilled chicken salad
    Ed Z.

    Eddie Z here again.this was our second visit here and now we know why we came back. Good food,cooked well,great service. Today I had the grilled chicken salad which was very good and my wife had the fried chicken sandwich with fries that was unbelievably good.the cutlet was so big it barely fit on the bun but my wife loved it and yes,we will return here again. This is quickly becoming a top 5 favorite of ours!!!!!!!

    We stopped by for a bite to eat & some drinks. On the drinks we tried Scratch 75 , not bad Pinky Promises , good taste The Frosty & Naughty beers not bad. Beers we tried Messy Jessie , good Banana muffin was great. Food we had the Caprese salad, this was very good nice taste the cheese with the tomatoes & arugula. The Winter jam flatbread was very tasty, nice crispy flat bread great for sharing. Nice looking place , chill vibe it's not very big they have a decent variety of drinks as well as beer, plus some good food choices. Service was good, prices are not bad , we enjoyed our drinks & food.

    I enjoyed my first visit to Scratch Kitchen. The atmosphere was welcoming. The service was good and the food was delicious. I ordered the Scratch Signature burger with sweet potato fries (the fries were a recommendation from our server). Everything was delicious. I would for sure visit this location again.

    Cuban Panini
    Trent S.

    Food was good, service was okay. They seemed busy and the server worked hard so no real complaints other than fairly slow care. Because of a long day on the road, we were hoping for a bit quicker dining experience. Not a very large restaurant but well designed and plenty of room for the tables they have. Those enjoying items at the bar seemed to be enjoying themselves and the drink options and specialties looked great.

    California Panini, Sweet Potato Fries
    Littzy L.

    California Panini was amazing!! Perfect crunch and ingredients! Our server was amazing and so sweet. Pretty good sweet potato fries. I had a yummy margarita with a lemon sort of foam on top, I forgot the name of it, but it was so good. We sat outside for our meal, so peaceful, but it also looked pretty cute inside. Will be back if I'm ever in the area again :)

    Text I received (and my reply) while dining in this fine establishment.

    The following has never happened until today. I opened up my Yelp because I sent a few Donkey Poker Crawl invitations for Vegas this summer and this restaurant popped right up. I believe in signs so I decided to roll with it--and I'm glad I did. (Important Note: It has happened that a restaurant popped up when I opened Yelp, but never after I sent Donkey Poker Crawl invitations). This is a chill vibe with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. I chose the latter to eat because nobody at the bar. I ordered the Garden Salad with Chicken (not a thing but you can make it a thing) and a beer followed by an Old Fashioned on the side (not at the same time). The Old Fashioned was also right on the money. I said 'also,' but I had yet to mention the meal being right on the money. That was the case and I'm quite pleased about it. I needed a good meal and a good drink or two as I'm currently in 'negotiations' with two places and I gave up on a third after two years (a big one!). So, just chillin'. This place has a good vibe, the food is great, and the staff is friendly and efficient. You can also tell that they take their food and service seriously. And let's add cleanliness. A great place to stop if there is traffic on 77 (regardless of which way you're traveling). Definitely recommended.

Leah is a waitress that consistently provides me poor customer service, always topped with a roll of eyes or a "Party Name" that never says my name, Presley, when she knows that is my name; my friends and I come here often. Tonight, 5/7/26 between 8-9pm, my friend and I ate here and were on separate tickets. I got here shortly after they did and waited at the bar for several minutes before Leah finally said, "you want to order something?" I then ordered my drink and proceeded to wait another 5 minutes before I got to order my food -- which was only done after watching her and the other waiter do circles around me standing at the bar & I finally asked the waiter if I could order some food. Leah left before I paid my tab but my friend's ticket had his name on it & Leah put the rolling eye emoji for my party name () I don't know what the issue is but this is not the first time and I am over it. I come to his bar for a good time, not to deal with high school pettiness from your staff.

We ended up spending $700, but 4 entrees had still not come out at the end of the 3hrs. They apologized and offered coffee or desserts while we still waited for people to get their meals. We only order one coffe and 2 desserts and yet they charged us for them at the end! We got 2 meals to go because everyone was ready to leave, and one of the steaks was so raw that no one wanted to take it home. They only took off 3 items that we did not receive and offered no discount for the fact that 4 people never got their food until the end. The sales manager was rude in how she explained the food she removed from the bill (as if she was doing us a favor!) and overall had terrible customer service in how she handled their poor service. I do not see how it raining outside affects their cook staff, but she had every excuse under the sun with no care for us and our experience! The 3 stars for the food is because a steak was raw even after wating 3 hrs for it, the Patatas Bravas were undercooked so they were too hard, and the Garlic Shrimp was undercooked as well. The rewstaurant has a nice atmosphere nut is way overrated for quality and service!

Set right in downtown Davidson across from Davidson College, the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance--lively but still intimate.

Our server stood out immediately--deeply knowledgeable and able to walk through each dish with impressive detail, right down to preparation. It's easy to see why Kindred earned "Recommended" status in the inaugural Michelin Guide American South and continues to be recognized for top-tier hospitality and cuisine. We started with the Little Gem lettuce salad--fresh, bright, and elevated by the perfect crunch and subtle richness of pistachios. For my entrée, I had the rigatoni with guanciale, English peas, and pecorino sardo--rich, balanced, and full of flavor without being heavy. A memorable meal all around.
