    I mean the sigh is right " good food, good life"
    Jose C.

    Food was amazing, ( pancakes very fluffy) and the Rachel sandwich was on point, along with the salad-fresh greens and tomatoes. I highly recommend this places- it's small very unique in their way.

    *The Big Scratch Breakfast
    Adam A.

    Tried this place for the first time today when I was up in the Olney area. Not the biggest menu, but all the standard breakfast staples. I got the big scratch breakfast, which included three eggs, meat, home fries, and a pancake. It was just the right amount of food, and everything was cooked perfectly. Very friendly staff, warm and inviting to everyone that came to the door. Will definitely go back next time. I'm up in the area.

    The staff were very welcoming and friendly from the time I entered until I left. You could easily tell the regulars, the gentleman greeted them by name and even talked about other family members that came in for a meal. The food was delicious!! Once seated, you're offered a hot beverage, water, and a muffin to nibble on while you peruse the menu, the muffin for the day was pumpkin cheesecake and it was quite tasty I ordered the vanilla French toast with scrambled eggs and breakfast, paired with some cranberry juice. I can't wait to go back to try some of the Latin cuisine! They're open daily 7-3, serving breakfast from open to close along with other menu items.

    Chicken omelette
    Dee D.

    Love it for local fresh breakfast. Always greeted upon entry. Cozy seating. The complimentary muffins give a good start especially if hungry. The chicken omelet is the bomb filled with fresh green peppers. The 2 egg sandwich is a good portion.

    My husband and I had a lovely breakfast at Scratch Kitchen. The warm and inviting environment made for a very comfortable start to our dining experience. It was nice to hear a bit of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" and "La Llorona" playing in the background, blending two cultures in one place. The service was great. The staff treated each guest with kindness, respect, and professionalism. The food was worth the trip. I ordered the Big Scratch Platter with Turkey Bacon and a Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancake. My husband chose the Chicken Fajita Omelet. Everything was flavorful and well-cooked. I'm so glad we stopped by during our trip. We'll definitely remember this place to visit again on our next trip to Maryland.

    Breakfast at the scratch, kitchen is truly a wonderful experience. The pancakes are fluffy. The waffles are delightful and everything that goes along with it is beautifully prepared and very fresh as the name implies it is made from scratch. The restaurant itself is sat in a non-descriptive industrial area in Olney and a little bit difficult to find. But once inside you're treated with fresh ingredients, light and fluffy pancakes and waffles and the fresh stuff ingredients. The staff goes out of their way to make sure all your needs are met.

    They don't have any fancy coffee, but it is fine.

    Chill and Relax restaurant for Breakfast, Lunch and Brunch in Olney, MD. Their dining room is not huge but is enough space for chit-chat of 2-4 groups of people. Cute and lovely decoration. Menu has variety selection, but too bad that they don't serve handcraft coffee. The food was nice as the standard, but for me a cozy vibe is make it different. Also the staffs are friendly and helpful. Anyway, the restaurant location seem a little confused, hidden inside narrow corner, free parking spaces are available in front of the restaurant but quite limit.

    This is our go-to breakfast place in Olney. The owner greets us every time we come in like family. The food is delicious, hot and fresh. The ricotta pancakes, French toast & pupusas are a must!

    My cousin and I had a good experience at Scratch! We arrived soon after they opened on a Friday morning and were met with friendly service and good food. The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing and enough for two people to share. My cousin enjoyed his breakfast, especially the pancakes. Also the orange juice was very fresh :)

    Bacon and egg breakfast sandwich with potatoes
    Debby O.

    I had been so excited to get the chance to finally try this place. It's a quaint cafe so I suggest making a reservation if you decide to check them out. I loved the flavor of the mango iced tea. My potatoes were perfectly crispy. When it comes to the breakfast sandwich it was quite bland and dry, I wish there had been some type of aioli or sauce on it. It came out with a side of ketchup, so I had asked if I could swap it out for barbecue sauce since I don't like ketchup and our server Liz just said "we don't have it". The host/owner was very polite and personable, I feel we would've had a better experience if he was the only staff member who served us. My friend had a crab cake sandwich and she said it was dry. When it was time to pay I had asked Liz if we could do an even split and she says "no, I already printed the separate checks", I understand that it may have been an inconvenience to her, but I just wish she said it in a more polite manner. Overall, it was a very mediocre experience, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

    Very cozy, well decorated, quaint little spot. Appears to be family owned/operated and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very welcoming. We sat down and were served complimentary pumpkin cream cheese muffins (very decadent and delicious). The turkey club was massive and served with perfectly seasoned French fries. Greek spinach omelette was just ok but served with home fries that were a hit with the whole table. Overall would dine again for the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, but would try another dish other than the Greek omelette. Would love to try their sweet selections or breakfast sandwiches on the next trip.

Glenwood delivered that excellent dinner this week and it deserves all the stars I can muster up. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad. Delicious, fresh, crispy, and with some of the best sushi-grade tuna I have ever put in my mouth. It was a great entree salad and this is the 2nd time I have had it. You know what, there will definitely be a 3rd time too. But, the diva of this meal was definitely what my spouse got. The incredible, edible rotisserie chicken pot pie!!! OMG this dish was crazy good, so good that I wish I had made it. The crust was the best crust I have ever had in my entire life bar none. It was crisp, flavorful and a little bit doughy. Its taste was great all by itself. But let there be no doubt - the filling was top notch too. Creamy, luxurious with crisp, fresh vegetables and big hunks of rotisserie chicken. It was the BEST! Thank God my spouse shared some with me because it was life changing (ok maybe that's a bit dramatic but you get my drift). The service matched the food. Erika was our server. She was so bubbly, friendly, helpful, smart and hard working. Glenwood is not a haute cuisine restaurant but the service we got from Erika matched the best restaurant service anywhere.

The place…read morewas packed when we arrived, and it was pretty noisy inside, so sitting outside turned out to be the right call. The only rough part was the welcome. The hostess seemed to avoid eye contact for about five minutes even though we were standing right in front of her. It felt a little like we had shown up too early for a surprise party that was clearly not for us. Once we were seated, everything improved. Our waitress, Paige, was attentive, thoughtful, and made the experience feel genuinely warm. We started with the mussels, which were exceptional; meaty, creamy, and delicious, with bread good enough to make restraint feel optional. We also had the mini Paloma oyster shooters, which were fun and memorable. I ordered a seasonal cocktail with very little simple syrup, since I usually do not like sweet drinks, and they got it exactly right, which is rarer than it should be. For the main course, we had the seasonal surf and turf special, an 8 oz filet mignon with crab meat over asparagus and succotash. The crust on the steak was excellent, the vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the filet was cooked exactly as ordered. We finished with their newer take on key lime pie, which was very good and nicely balanced; not too sweet, not too tart. We spent just under $100 per person, so this is not an inexpensive night out. That said, the food quality and service largely justify the price. Overall, aside from the awkward start at the hostess stand, this was an excellent first visit. We spent just under $100 per person, so GrillMarX is not playing in the bargain bin, but the food and service were strong enough that we would absolutely come back

We wanted to spend most of our time talking so we only ordered an appetizer and drink. I got the half rack of ribs and a coke & she got the spinach dip and water.

The only thing I would comment on is the fact our server kinda seemed like his shift was about to end and wanted us to hurry up and close our tab. The only reason I name it so specifically is because I have felt like this before when I used to work at a restaurant but the difference is that I would give the table their space and allow them to finish organically.
