    Garden omelette
    Shanti L.

    Trendy diner vibes! Quick and polite service! Yummy food! Great variety! Hit of the show was the banana loaf! This was our third visit and they didn't let us down!

    My friend and I arrived at noon on a Sunday and there was a minimal wait time. My first visit was okay. Friendly staff, food was ok and the cleanliness was ok. Parking is limited. Prices are reasonable.

    Was so good I didn't get to take a photo before I began

    Mexican Omelette
    Glenn J.

    Came back to have breakfast with some friends. Enjoyed the great service and cozy dining room. There was no waiting at all. I came to expect the delicious food but was a little disappointed with the Mexican omelette. According to the menu, it contained chorizo, machaca and cheese.. All I could taste was dry egg. No flavor or texture. I almost thought I received the wrong order.

    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.

    Steak country egg
    Tulisa T.

    we came in around brunch time and we were seated right away. it took awhile for our server to come to us so another server had to help us which im glad. we ordered the country steak egg with biscuit and gravy. the biscuit and gravy was so delicious. one of the best spots for biscuit and gravy around here. it's a very spacious place with lots of seating. overall, a delicious experience and definitely coming back again!

    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.

    Omelette
    Kristina N.

    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.

    Hiding prices in menu

    Ultimately I don't know what was worse, the food or the prices. We ordered the chilaquiles with carne asada which came out to $32 per plate. As someone that eats these a lot, the nicest thing I can say about them is that they are NOT SEASONED. Please do not expect authentic chilaquiles, they needed so much salt that it kind of ruined the experience. The carne asada was also missing flavor 4/10 The drinks are cheap which is a plus 10/10, but please DO NOT expect anything great out of the chilaquiles. They also hide the prices in the menu so you are totally ambushed in the end. I have a picture of the receipt below for reference. Disclaimer: This is only one plate, so do not base your entire opinion about this place with one plate.

    Chicken and waffles

    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.

    Asada skillet
    David L.

    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.

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

It was decent in flavour, but it was filling for my belly's capacity. It came with two small containers of salsa, which were very much needed and appreciated. However, generally speaking, this menu item was unremarkable, so much so that I cannot recall any further details about it. Huckleberry's seems like a pretty good spot for grub, and the staff was very friendly. I was a bit disappointed in the price of this burrito for not being as tasty as I had hoped.
