Scratch Kitchen & Taproom

So my girlfriend and I went here and the food overall was quite good.
We sat outside, the flies were a nuisance, but they provide these little towers that fend them off which I thought was cool! We got the BBQ Egg Rolls, which they accommodating my girlfriend who can’t handle spice with barbecue Mayo, both dips were delicious.
I got the Truffle Mac & Cheese Burger to go, which was absolutely amazing.
I got the Cast-Iron Chicken dish there, it was cooked beautifully, but I wouldn’t say it blew my mind, just a good chicken dish.
Would recommend this place for sure

{It’s important to note I braved “hurricane Debbie” that morning to go try this interesting place} I say this because it explains the lack of people at lunchtime the day I visited. I was impressed that there was enough parking to start with.
Secondly, the environment is warm and you get a choice of where to sit either outside, at the bar, or in adorable booths with personality, which is RARE to get all with great natural light and good service. Furthermore, I can’t say enough about the smoked Chex mix & cornbread, which is jalapeño cornbread, and it was my first time trying such. You definitely want to try it. The main courses were also well prepared and I appreciate good presentation with Food.
So they did an excellent job with that.
Lastly, and most importantly for some people, the tap/bar was noteworthy with their signature drinks with your very fun as you’ll see in the pictures I include.
I’m not a big drinker per se, but I did appreciate the presentation in the drinks from the bar.
I was taken aback with the cleanliness of the Cary location as well. Overall, I was impressed with the service, food, drinks, menus, ambience, etc.
You should know it’s more of a southern food fusion type menu!

So the atmosphere is great, its in a nice area near the new park, and the menu is a amazing, but the food just tasted like really bland to me.
The burger could really use some seasoning and the mac a cheese tasted like nothing and fries were soggy, the bao buns were also hard and fried for some reason I'm not sure why you would do that.
I would still recommend it but the food could use some work.
