Scratch Kitchen & Meatery

We had a party of four. Drinks were Kimchee Bloody Mary, traveling plum margarita, and an Ola Brew vanilla porter. Food selections were crispy mashed potatoes, escargot, Lilikot pork ribs, Grandma's fried pork chop pasta, Scratch House burger, and Creole shrimp n' sausage grits, and a south shore cobb salad with chicken. The food was good, my burger was cooked to perfection, medium. Everyone else seemed very happy with their selections. Be aware, there is a 4% "kitchen appreciation charge". However, a tip selection is up to you. Bottom line, food and service by Jasmine were satisfactory.

Small restaurant with scratch made dishes and a surprisingly great list of cocktails to choose from, get the burgers and a maple bacon old fashioned. We had to wait about 30 minutes for brunch on a Saturday and sat at the counter area which was really nice to see them working in the kitchen. We had both burgers and they were each very good, and I had two old fashioned's which were amazing. Great choice for a meal and a drink in the area.

My son chose Scratch for his birthday lunch. The food was good, but nothing great. I did enjoy the chicken apple pasta and my son had me try the Kim chee Bloody Mary, oh that was winnahz and I don't like tomato juice. We sat right where they put out the food, which I thought was weird since you could see everyone's food before it got to their table and service was ok. Although I had a couple of refills on my coffee, I did want more, but she stopped offering and brought the check without she asking if we wanted anything else. I don't like feeling rushed and asked for more coffee. We left when I felt I was done and ready to leave.

Atmosphere was great. The group enjoyed watching the cooks do their work with the open kitchen. Service was also great with a friendly staff. We were seated right away. Everything we ordered was excellent. This was the best dining experience we had over our first 5 days on Oahu. We ordered the deep fried deviled eggs, braised pork belly with apple noodles, ahi salad, and the Scratch burger for dinner with the brulee French toast and cereal pancake for dessert. Big portions, big flavors. Highly recommend.

I have difficult food allergies. The servers and kitchen were knowledgeable about what I couldn't eat - I appreciate that they didn't try to give me something that would make me sick just in an attempt to feed me. Plus, they worked with me to substitute what I couldn't eat with something I could without charging me extra. When the kitchen did make a mistake, my server noticed immediately. Also, aside from my allergies, food can still make me sick, but I never had any stomach issues after eating here! We ate here every day following the first time because it is difficult to find a restaurant where I don't get sick. There were lots of tastey options for the rest of the party to enjoy :). Look for parking at "South Shore Market". There is a free garage.

This is a great family spot, while we visited on a Saturday we were very surprised it wasn’t super busy. We went at the right time! We decided to order some appetizers which was enough for 3! Food: Scratch Chili fries 5/5 this dish was delicious, the chili was delicious I loved that it was not salty! Bacon Mac and cheese 4/5 for my preference wish it had more bacon. Street tacos 4/5 Not bad in taste but a lot of meat for small tacos. Steak bites 4/5 tasty just needs to be cooked medium if you want it to be juicer we ordered medium well. Service: 5/5 Isabel who was our server was very attentive and friendly. She recommended some great dishes and drinks! Will definitely come back. Parking can be a little tricky if you are not Familiar with the area but we were able to park down the block.

I absolutely adore this breakfast spot in Honolulu! The atmosphere is fantastic—inviting and charming. A must-try is their French toast, an absolute delight. Another personal favorite is the calentado—it never disappoints. Coffee lovers will appreciate their cold brew with coffee ice cubes; a delightful bonus. However, a word of caution, the cold brew packs quite a punch—it's very strong. Overall, a top pick for a delicious and energizing breakfast experience!
