Now when you go it’s in downtown Apex, I was worried about parking but that was not an issue. There is parking right behind the restaurant, I think off of Seaboard. They have a huge outdoor patio right outside. The food was AMAZING, this was a mix of their brunch menu and regular menu. We went on a Sunday after church. This is a very cool spot lots of seating, plenty of families. I wish I would have took photos of their deserts. But they were to go. I would say the menu is a mix of Asian American food. The biscuits were some of THE BEST I have had. My wife had the Benedict it had thick slice of Canadian ham. She said she would go back for the biscuit alone. The menu is eclectic and I am sure anyone would could find something to enjoy. I rated service at a 4 because our waiter went missi

Tonight's dinner was at @scratchkitchennc! I took my mom here for dinner tonight and she loved it. I have been here before, I just forgot to post/review it! It was so good! Drinks: BLACK SESAME OLD FASHIONED Bourbon, Black Sesame, Homemade Orange Bitters, and Sesame Seed Rim Lagerfest Oktoberfest Marzen App: SMOKED PIMENTO CHEESE WONTONS House-smoked pimento cheese with sweet corn and scallions. Served with red pepper jam. Main: NY STRIP STEAK Seared NY Strip with caramelized onion miso butter, sake jus, smoked cheddar potato au gratin, and spicy candied bacon collard greens. This did not disappoint! They give you a little bowl of their housemade chex mix when you sit down and place your order. It is good and seasoned well. The Sesame Old Fashioned was one of the best old fashioneds I

Scratch has such a warm, cozy farm-style vibe, even down to the cheese-grater light fixtures over the bar, which were such a clever and charming touch. The food and service were excellent from start to finish. We ordered the Scratch Steak & Eggs for brunch — Korean-marinated flank steak, two sunny-side-up eggs, breakfast potatoes, and toasted local sourdough. Every bite was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. To finish, we shared the Coco Seduction dessert — a dreamy combination of chocolate mousse, graham cracker tuille, white-chocolate truffle, and chocolate-dipped marshmallow — paired with cranberry mimosas, of course! It was the perfect Saturday girls’ brunch before a day of shopping. Cozy atmosphere, creative menu, and genuinely great service. We’ll definitely be back!

Scratch Kitchen offers inside and outside dining, kid and pet friendly, and several games to play while you lounge. The food is excellent and t by e drinks are delightful. Several of the menu items have playful culinary twists. Restaurant is located in downtown Apex, very walkable to other shops.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Melissa Cook · Aug 2025

Situated on a quaint little street in Apex, Scratch Kitchen & Taproom offers foods that will please a variety of palates. Parking is free for three hours along spots on the backside of the restaurant. The brick, and stone walls with wooden beams overhead creates a welcoming aesthetic. A nice blend of old and new. Add your name to the list for seating and wait at the adjoining lounge across the hall where you can order drinks and appetizers or wait on wooden benches lining the corridor. Seating is both inside and out. The food was visually appealing, but some meals lacked the right balance. For appetizers, we ordered the Barbecue Egg Rolls and the Scratch Fries. There were six rolls and they were delicious. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Paired with a sauce that gives it a bit
