    Chicken and waffles
    Marie C.

    Went to Scratch for brunch today. This was our second visit. When we walked in, the hostess immediately asked, "How many?" There was no greeting, smile, or warm welcome. She then looked at my husband and said, "Come on," which felt a bit abrupt. She seated us at a small two-person table with very little lighting, right next to a fire extinguisher. I hesitated to ask for a different table because her demeanor didn't seem very welcoming. Shortly afterward, I noticed a white couple of two come in and they were seated at a booth without hesitation. While my husband was in the restroom, the hostess came back to ask what I wanted to drink. I took the opportunity to ask if we could move to a table with better lighting. She pointed to the table directly next to us, which wasn't much different. I mentioned that the booth area seemed to have better lighting. She paused for a few seconds and said, "You don't want that table." After another moment, she said, "Fine, you can sit at the booth." Once my husband returned, we waited a few more minutes before our server took our order. To be fair, the server appeared to be handling several tables and was actually very friendly, attentive, and pleasant throughout our visit. Then another white couple came in, and once again the hostess seated them in a booth immediately with no hesitation. At that point, I couldn't help but notice the difference in how tables were being assigned, and it left me feeling uncomfortable. Whether intentional or not, the interaction with the hostess created a negative impression that affected the overall experience. The food itself was excellent. I would rate the food **5/5 stars**. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We didn't mind waiting for the food because the quality was worth it. Our waitress checked on us and asked if everything was okay. We requested napkins, and she returned with four napkins, which gave us a little laugh. **Food: 5/5** **Waitress: 4.5/5** **Hostess: 1/5** **Overall Experience: 3/5** Overall, the food and service from our waitress were great. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude and the way the seating situation was handled left a bad taste in my mouth and overshadowed what otherwise could have been a very enjoyable brunch experience.

    The moment you walk in, you're hit with the bright, clean lines of a modern American diner -- all crisp edges and fresh paint. It feels like the kind of place that wants you to hang out for a while. Then the loud FM radio kicks in, pumping out a stream of commercials and generic pop, and suddenly you're calculating how fast you can eat and escape. Is that ear rape on purpose? It's the one jarring note in an otherwise pleasant room. Out front, a Farmer Brothers truck idles like a warning - we aren't coffee people One hopes it's just a driver getting breakfast but I see the logo on the carafes and decide against coffee. The menu, though, is a happy surprise. Nearly every item carries a little twist that lifts it above standard breakfast fare, even if everything runs about five dollars more than the neighborhood norm. They're serving wild boar for breakfast, for God's sake. That kind of ambition gets my attention. The staff are sharp in their uniforms, moving with quiet professionalism. A couple of tables lingered with dirty dishes when I arrived, but by the time I finished my meal, the place had been quietly set right. I started with the biscuit and gravy which came out early. It was solidly good -- the kind of honest, homemade plate the name "Scratch Room" demands -- but it didn't ascend to the remarkable. The potatoes were thick, rough shreds, nicely griddled but crying out for salt and seasoning. The real star was the chile verde draped across a cheese omelette. Just a handful of pale pork chunks, barely seared if at all, stewed until they reached a tender, uniform softness I immediately filed away for my own kitchen experiments. The sauce itself was beautifully balanced: bright, peppery, properly spicy, with no greasy heaviness weighing it down. I loved it. The water, of all things, tasted unusually clean -- filtered, served in those retro blue plastic cups that look brand new. Next time I'll be ordering their famous banana bread. Because when something's famous at a place called Scratch Room, you listen. And the B&G wasn't all that anyway.

    Iced Coffee. Classic Eggs Benedict with Fruit and Banana Bread.
    John E.

    I had been dreaming about The Scratch Room since my last visit and it did not disappoint. Excellent service, great iced coffee, amazing warm banana bread to start, eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly (maybe a little too much hollandaise) and fruit was fresh and tasty. My favorite breakfast spot in Anaheim near Disneyland, well worth the short diversion.

    Banana Loaf
    Curt H.

    Polite and helpful service Coffee cup never empty without asking I had the pork chop and eggs- nice flavor on pork chops Super homemade breakfast potatoes - crispy and well seasoned Biscuit and homemade country gravy hit the spot The extra slice of banana loaf was well worth the $5.95 Easy parking in strip center

    Came here after the gym for some good home hardy carbs. We were greeted and seated right away. Staff were very friendly, service was excellent and quick. Restaurant is quite large with lots of tables, clean and welcoming. It had a nice vibe. Our food came out great and quickly. My omelette was very well made. I loved the option of the banana bread it came with. Parking here is decent but probably harder to find one on the weekends. They have a nice selection of breakfast to choose from.

    Service: 3/5 Food: 3/5 Second time coming back to The Scratch Room. Had a great experience the first time and since me and my boyfriend was in Orange County, I decided we should come back for some breakfast here and I had mixed feelings. The server we initially had was amazing, she was so sweet and funny and checked in on us. Didn't catch her name but she was an older lady. She went on break, and the new server didn't check in on us, just came and dropped the check on the table and never came back. Didn't even get to ask if we needed any boxes to go. I ended up having to walk up to the counter to pay where another server had an attitude as well. She just told me to leave it on the table. No bye no thank you for dining with us just RBF. Food wise, it was good. $12 for a stack of pancakes seems steep but it was good. The Asada skillet was decent, the steak was a little bit on the cooked side than what I prefer. I liked that they were able to sub the beans for potatoes.

    Omelette

    The service was lovely, everyone was really nice and we didnt have to wait long for our food. The biscuits and gravy were hefty and good. We made ourselves feel better with fruit on the sie which I really enjoyed because it wasnt your basic melon variety. Also, they let you take home coffee.

    Chorizo breakfast burger

    You gotta get here early or after the rush because otherwise there's a nice little wait. And since they make everything fresh then it's understandable why there's a wait. This last time we came the service was great. Communicative and checking if things are all well. Sad news was they don't have the classic breakfast burger anymore. Heard that some people complained it was too spicy?! Those complainers ruined it for those of us that like spicy they made their sausage on that breakfast burger make you love no other sausage lol. Well the chorizo breakfast burger is the next in line that was hearty and yummy with the side of potato wedges. The children French toast and mini pancakes are always a hit. Great bfast spot in town. Parking might be a little tight so be ready to park near the lavandería.

    First time here there were 5 of us we hadn't seen each other in a while and we were catching up. I was taking my time looking Over the menu they have a lot of good choices I didn't like that I felt I was being rushed to order waitress came three times and every time she seem to have an attitude that I wasn't ready to order it was around 12:30 and there was only two other tables not like it was overly full. Food was good but i definitely wouldn't come back simply because I felt rushed.

    10 out of 10 Loved this place we were staying in the area and decided to go here for breakfast, great choice It was pretty busy but we got seated quickly out waitress Nicole was awesome very funny and helped us pick our meals. Big portions everything was flavorful and good The banana loaf was fantastic My omelette was so good eggs were fluffy. Vegetable vegetables were delicious. My side of fruit was perfect. The country fried steak was so good. We literally had no complaints. Like I said, it was pretty busy in there, but you could still have a conversation and hear yourself. It was a great vibe. Everything was super good. I would definitely recommend this place and I would definitely go back.

    The Scratch Room 2415 W Lincoln Ave Anaheim, CA 92801 Brunch goals = unlocked! We hit up this spot and tried the red chilaquiles, chicken fried steak, and the French toast special with bananas... and wow, everything slapped! The chilaquiles had the perfect kick without being overpowering The chicken fried steak was crispy, juicy, and smothered in the dreamiest gravy The French toast with bananas? Straight-up dessert for breakfast vibes -- fluffy, sweet, and chef's kiss This place seriously delivers on flavor AND vibes. If you're looking for your next brunch spot, add this one to the list ASAP!

    Excellent service, server was super friendly and accommodating. Food was amazing, and hit the spot for sure. Come in around lunch time it was quiet but had a nice ambience. We came in looking for some great roasted potatoes, and we definitely found it.

    The food was amazing! The CA eggs Benedict was perfection and the giant piece of banana bread that came with it, YUM!!! But the best part was the service. The ladies there were the best! Super friendly and amazing customer service. Highly recommend. Tried to get them to plant one in Corona.

I paid $17.54 for a biscuit with egg, cheese, turkey sausage, and a black iced coffee. The biscuit was decent, but fairly small, and nothing about the sandwich felt premium enough to justify the price. The turkey sausage tasted like a standard pre-made sausage, and if there was a significant upcharge for choosing turkey, it didn't feel warranted. The coffee was fine. It was a basic black iced coffee, good enough, but not something that stood out or justified a premium price. My biggest issue is the value. Nearly $18 for a simple breakfast sandwich and a plain black iced coffee feels excessive for what was served. I've also noticed that the total seems to vary from visit to visit, making it difficult to know what to expect when ordering. I genuinely like the people who work here and wish them success. This review isn't about the staff. For me, it's simply a matter of price versus value, and I can no longer justify spending this much for a basic breakfast and coffee. Biscuit: 7/10 Coffee: 7/10 Overall value: 3/10
