Finally stopped by as it is continently located near our neighborhood. It's located on a golf course in Augusta Ranch. Bar food was alright but the drinks were nice and cold! They had live entertainment which was great to add to the beautiful patio vibe! Xo -BB read more

The service here is excellent. We were served by Cooper who apparently was on his first day. It's certainly did not seem like it at all. His table touches were great and overall he crushed it. Place is getting a new roof but that didn't affect things on the inside while we were there. Pretty standard on the food but nice to receive such excellent service. Good on you bud! read more

Scratch Pub & Grill at Augusta Ranch Golf Course is a classic golf-course hangout--big TVs, loud chatter, and a vibe that feels stuck somewhere in the mid-2000s. The interior could use a refresh (think dark wood, old booths, and sports memorabilia that's seen better days), but if you like a lively, unpretentious bar atmosphere, it delivers. We went for dinner on a weeknight. I ordered the fish & chips. It arrived looking sad: two small, thin pieces of cod that were overcooked to the point of dryness, perched on a modest pile of fries. The breading was decent, tartar sauce fine, but the fish itself was underwhelming and skimpy for the price. Highlight of my plate was actually the side of onion rings--thick-cut, crispy, well-seasoned, and legitimately tasty. My wife's fried chicken sandwich, though, was a winner. Huge, juicy breast with a crunchy coating, fresh toppings, and a buttery brioche bun that held up perfectly. The fries alongside were hot and crisp. She demolished it and declared it one of the better chicken sandwiches she's had lately. Service was friendly but slow. Prices are typical for a golf course spot--maybe $2-3 higher than you'd hope. Verdict: Dinner was hit-and-miss (great chicken sandwich, forgettable fish & chips). The loud, dated vibe isn't for everyone. I probably wouldn't rush back for dinner, but the breakfast menu has solid reviews, so I'll give that a shot next time I'm in the area. Onion rings alone are worth a side order. read more

No membership required at this golf course Pub and Grill restaurant located within the Augusta Ranch neighborhood. It's known for their good food, happy hour, live music, trivia and other events. The service was friendly with great views of the golf course and pond. My sandwich had a large chicken breast that was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The fries were hot and crispy and the jalapeño cilantro slaw was a nice compliment to the sandwich. I will definitely be back. read more

Great spot for some drinks and great food. I had the Southwest Turkey Sandwich and my boyfriend had the Italian Beef. They were both delicious and the fries were tasty, seasoned well and actually came out hot. The servers were excellent and no waiting considering so many people were piling in from the golf course. I can't wait to go back I saw so many other dishes people had that looked so good. read more

Stopped in for dinner the other night and had a great time. The bartender was awesome, and even though we were at a high top, she never skipped a beat. The prices are very reasonable, and the food tasted great. My fries even came out hot! Hard to find that at places these days. read more

My husband and I and two friends ate here today. Our food was good, but the tri tip sliders were very scarce on the meat. Our server Tiffany was wonderful. We accidentally spilled a beer and she was very helpful on cleaning it up Russell who chatted with us on the golfcourse was very nice and let us know the conditions of the course up ahead. We enjoyed our round of golf. I will recommend this business to anyone who likes to golf and enjoy good food and drinks after their round. read more

Scratch Pub & Grill - Tiffany was an Awesome server/bartender - Comfort Food Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I remember when Scratch first opened, and honestly, it was pretty lifeless in the beginning. No music, no events, no real atmosphere -- it just felt like an extension of the golf course. Over the years, people like Andrea, Paige, and Taylor completely changed that. They built this place into an actual neighborhood pub people wanted to come hang out at. Trivia nights, bingo, live music, events, packed patios, regulars who felt like family -- THAT is what made Scratch successful. Ever since Paige was let go, it genuinely feels like they've been slowly draining the life and personality out of the place. The energy feels off now, and you can see how burnt out and defeated the staff looks. It's sad because the people who built the culture there are the reason so many customers kept coming back. From the outside looking in, it honestly feels like ownership wants it to turn back into some kind of glorified pro shop instead of the fun local pub atmosphere everyone fell in love with. And that would be a huge mistake. read more

Upon walking up, I noticed a cute golf display and overall great ambiance on the patio with live music playing. It seemed like a very lovely place, and even the inside was full with only one table open. It's a seat yourself type of establishment, so we grabbed the table and peeked at the menu. I love that they have vegetarian items listed, and even a plant-based section! There was a sign saying some guy had the worst sandwich, but I didn't find it in the reviews to get specifics. I did find the sign funny, but I wanted to look into the review for specifics and heck, even photos of said offending sandwich. We enjoyed the fries, and even went with the waitress' recommendation for a flatbread not on the menu - cheese flatbread with black olives and pickles. It was surprisingly delicious, though I wished it was cooked a little longer for a crunchier crust. Their kitchen closes early (8pm), so they may have been in a rush to complete our order. Overall, pretty good food at reasonable prices. Fridays are "Fireball Friday" if you are a fan like me! Definitely enjoyed a few, and would be curious to look into their other daily specials as we both said we could see returning in the future if in the area. read more

Don't pass this little hidden Pub food gem. It sits at the Agusta Ranch Golf Course Clubhouse. Great spot for Lunch, Dinner of Happy Hour! And yes you can schedule a round or practice putting but everyone is welcome here. During one of our visits a gentleman was entertaining the crowd with music in a guess the artist contest with prizes for winners. I enjoyed the vibe he brought to the pub. Onto food. We ordered flat bread and burgers . The food was good and our server was fantastic. The entertainment pushed my review to 5 stars and we return to enjoy a little putting before clubhouse food! $$/$$$ with adult beverage read more

My daughter found this place on Yelp. And as we got to the front door, we couldn't help but laugh when we saw the sign that says "Come in & try the worst sandwich that one guy on YELP ever had in his life". So once we saw that we KNEW we had to try it out for sure!! We ended up ordering a turkey sandwich(which was bomb!!), my kids had very simple burgers(plain & cheese which were apparently very juicy), hot wings(my son-in-law loved em), Buffalo chicken sandwich(my daughter said it was alright) & my son ordered the Pork po boy(he said it was 5 out of 10). However, all of them really loved the fries!! Thank you Judy for being such an Amazing & Friendly person!! Top Notch service for sure!! I'll definitely being trying to make it back tonight for the 70's theme happening later!! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. We were sent an email on Friday morning promoting their Fish n Chip special. We traveled quite far to try it but when we got there they said no Fish n Chips because they had a special event and the kitchen would get backed up. Why in the world would you send an email blast when they obviously knew about the big event? read more

Was traveling around the area and found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I didn't realize it was on a golf course, but I've had great luck with golf course food, so I was even more interested. The place was packed for lunch and it appeared that there was only one bartender and she was taking orders as well, but after watching her a bit, she was killing it. I sat at the bar and she immediately came over got my drink order and brought my usual beer and an iced tea...gotta hydrate, ya know. I had a burger which arrived pretty quick and was absolutely delicious. A lot of the folks in there seemed to know one another and the bartender knew them as well. She spent enough time with them to be friendly, but completely stayed on top of the needs of everyone else. I gotta make another trip over there... read more

This place is really very good! I had the Ruben and my husband had a burger and we were both so happy with our meals. Our server was efficient and friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

First time here I was in the area and was looking for a place to watch the television games. This place is located in a residential area located next to a golf course. This spot is off the beaten path. Scratch is rather small inside, however they have an outside patio area that would be nice if all the smokers weren't utilizing it. That would deter me from eating outside. They have plenty of televisions for watching multiple games at the same time. The menu is decent sized. I ordered a Reuben burger with onion rings. The burger was cooked perfectly. The onion rings were ok. I ordered a Bloody Mary. I have had better. If I was in the area again I would eat here again. read more

We've been to Scratch several times and it's always a great experience. Whether it's with our kids or a fun adult night out! They often have a live band and an awesome patio! Everyone who works there treats you like family and makes you feel welcomed. They also have a great menu with daily specials. Well done Scratch staff, we appreciate having a local place that feels like home! read more

Love coming here. Definite favorite is the Southwest Turkey Sandwich. Great atmosphere and usually they have live music on Friday and/or Saturday. Watching golfer approach into the 9th hole is also entertaining. read more

Food was just okay. Drinks good but not very strong. Waitress warned us that a large party was there so service would be slow and it was.

Locals just discovered Scratch. Totally chill, great drink deals, SHOT SPIN WHEEL is a blast. Decent fish n chips too!! read more

The place is a bit rundown. The outside tables and seats were covered with dust. The landscapers were mowing and edging the turf around the restaurant during business hours (could have done the maintenance before the restaurant opens at 11AM). The food was good. The service was friendly. read more

We left after sitting 15 minutes waiting to be acknowledged and I don't think they cared that we left. Sad, because we enjoy trying local type places over chains. We are considerate, kind and tip well, so it was a disappointment to be treated like we didn't exist. read more

Stopped in later in the evening with my cousin for a drink and a snack! When we walked up to the establishment, there was live music on the patio and lost of people at the drive range! We decided to head inside to find a seat (seat yourself type of place). We luckily caught the kitchen in time before closing as it closes 3 hours before the bar does on Friday which we didn't realize. The server greeted us and kindly let us know the kitchen was closing soon and urged us to order something if we were interested in food. She was pleasant about it and we appreciated the transparency. The food came out super fast. The fries seemed fresh and my cousin's flatbread was good, but definitely could have used longer in the oven as the bottom was still a bit pale/underdone. We still ate it! The bar has a fun feel to it with bar signs all over the walls. I enjoyed 2 different IPAs (the first one was giant! I ordered a normal pint size for the second one lol so it appears there are two sizes offered) and my cousin partook in $4 fireball Friday! Thought that was a fun touch after a long week. They played great tunes and I had to stop myself from singing along. I could find myself here again for a visit even though I am not a golfer! read more

It was lunchtime and our 9 year old boys' soccer team had just played one of two games at nearby Paloma Sports Complex. We had a couple of hours before the next game... So - I turned to Yelp to search for nearby restaurants with outdoor dining options (due to the pandemic). Scratch was my second call. They said they had plenty of availability on their patio. "Enough for 20 or so?" I asked... and the response was "yes... come on in!" I apologize to our server as I probably neglected to share how many in our group were kids, and the group kind of took over the outdoor area, but it worked out well. There were probably about 6 - 8 families that ended up joining, and everyone found something on the menu to fuel up for watching / playing in that next game. The kids' menu offered chicken tenders, grilled cheese, mac&cheese, and mini sliders. Adults went with soups, salads, sandwiches, etc... I had a salad but had order envy on those that had the Caesar Wrap. The fries were tasty and there was plenty of water / lemonade / beer to wash it all down. Service was not the best, but it's always hard with a large group. Overall it was a positive experience with a beautiful outdoor setting - overlooking a beautiful golf course. , read more

Stopped in for a quick beverage and a snack. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I had been craving wings and our server highly recommended them. Also ordered some onion rings. They had Papago's Orange Bloosom beer on tap too which is one of my favotites. The wings were really good and the blue cheese dressing (dip for the wings) tasted homemade and so good. I bet it's great on a salad. Our server gave us the scoop about how a group got together and took over this place. I like hearing the pride and passion from 'owners' ' that share a story about their food preparation, recommendations, and a little history. We will be back. read more

I've been here several times and thought the food was great. I love their nachos because the use a tasty cheese sauce instead of melted shredded cheese. I can't stand the melted shredded cheese on nachos so this is huge for me. The other toppings on it just make the dish that more enjoyable. I've had the southwest salad that had just the right amount of heat to it. Also I'm a suckered for a good fish taco. If you like them to I highly recommend the Baja fish tacos. It seemed like there was fish in every bite and was loaded without being to loaded with fixings. I was here last night and used the front door for the first time instead of coming in off the golf course. There's a sign next to the door saying "try the worst sandwich that one guy on yelp ever had". I don't know who came up with that but it made me laugh and I couldn't help but think what a great way to turn a negative into a positive. Next time I'm in I'm going to try that sandwich. read more

One of the best bars I've been to! Everybody is super friendly and quick service :) highly recommend

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! one of the worst experiences in a long time. Waited over an hour to get our food, only to have it cooked wrong. To make matters worse, we saw our food sitting there for over 20 minutes waiting to be brought to us. Then the second time it was made wrong again so it was never served. The awful uncaring bartender took it upon herself to let us know she told them to "just forget it". Apparently she decided that I was not getting lunch today. She then added "there are other places". Absolutely terrible experience that we will let everyone know about. The employees don't care so don't waste your valuable time and money, read more

Im struggling here. I have been a handfull of yimes to Scratch and so this is based on a cummulative experience. The previous restaurant was a favorite. I was her all the time when it was The Vue. i was sad to lose The Vue but happy to see another place take over and so I came, ready to support. First visit: saturday afternnon bar. It was ok. The bar was dirty. The bar stools ripped and uncomfortable to sit on. The drink was ok. I wasnt keen to return. (FYI this was right after they opened) Secont visit: about 3 weeks ago I wanted cocktails and apps on the patio. So I popped down to Scratch. It was ok. The drink was ok, but a bit weak. The service was good, but the food was slow. I ordered a hummus plate and it arrived with some limp celery, tired carrots and deep fried (WTH?) pita. Weird music on. Third visit: last week I got takeout. I was craving a butger and the hubs offered to go get. Omg. Salivate!!! Delicious. Juicy. Full of flavor. Yay! Today: its hot. The best thing about this place is the patio. So I parked my rear on the patio with a view of the geese. And I waited. And waited. And waited. Thankfully the "good" server walked by and noticed we hadnt been helped (sat for 10 mins). She immediately got us our server, who still managed to take her time to get our drink order. Did i mention it was warm out? Drinks arrive after another long wait. We order food ---burgers, because last week they were amazing. Today. Nope. Tasted like they were boiled. No flavor. No seasoning. After eating my entire burger and fried and finishing my beverage the server finally arrices to ask if everything was ok. No it wasnt, butI had eaten my sad burger anyways because i was hungry. So instead I said water would be really nice. She brought 1 glass. For me and my hubs. 1. Seriously!? Its hot out. Idk if I can give this place any more chances. Its pretty basic to approach a table with water in hand, especially when its hot out. Its also pretty easy to follow up 5 mins after food is delivered to see if everything is ok. Buyer beware. Its hit or miss - food, drinks and service. read more

Great hidden spot in Augusta Ranch. Awesome views from the outdoor patios. We have been coming here for 8 years and tonight we had the best server ever. She was so friendly and made sure to check in with us often and made sure our drinks were filled at all times. With this economy good people are hard to find and Adriana our server is one of the best we have had. We hope she stays for a long time. She has only been working here for 3 months but took care of us like a pro. read more

Scratch Burger Pub & Grill in Mesa is a gem! Perfectly crafted burgers, great ambiance, and friendly staff. A must-visit for burger lovers!

Love this staff! We have only sat on the patio when the weather is perfect but we love sitting outside with our puppy!

The view is okay but the food is crap. Applebees would be a 5 star restaurant compared to this place. The oil they fry in is old and tastes disgusting, I got a salad and it was terrible. Bland, old and gross! Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

I surely do not understand the bad reviews, I've eaten there a dozen times and not once had a bad or even average order, it has always been great food at a affordable price. As well the staff have always been, kind, friendly, funny sometimes and very professional. I love eating there and ordering for delivery, the cheese curds [deep fried] are delicious too! I highly recommend, and plan to eat there again soon! read more

Looking for something new in area. Good reviews so we gave it a try. Sliders and frys to start all very good I would definitely come back... read more

I'm so conflicted on this place. I've had food here that was very very good, but also very very bad. One thing that is consistent is how slow they are. It takes forever to get the food. The last time we went, they brought us a list of food that they were out of. It was essentially half the menu. No burgers, wings, fries, chicken, and a lot more. Since it was a light menu, I got mac and cheese with chicken and when it came out, it was cold and a portion size that I would give my toddler. In fact, my toddler's kids mac and cheese was bigger than the one I ordered. To be clear, the mac and cheese was not on the appetizers section nor the sides section of the menu. I thought it was a main dish, but it clearly wasn't. Again, I've had other experiences that were fine, but it's been a miss the last couple times. To their credit, the servers were pleasant and apologetic. They did what they could with what they were dealt. Just seems like it's need some structure and leadership to get things right here. read more

Love this little neighborhood hangout! Food is great! Drinks are cold. Service is excellent. Call ahead if it's getting close to closing time as they shut the kitchen down early if they only have bar patrons. read more
