    I'm basing my review on customer service and the convenience! I ordered sandwiches to be catered for an event at City Foundry. I needed something easy for folks to eat and enjoy while being able to stand/ stroll. I ended up ordering two trays of chicken salad sandwiches via email with the owner. I would assume they have an online ordering option as well, but I had some specific questions to ask, so I went the email route. Ordering was pleasant and simple, and I also ordered salad. It was ready to pick up, and the staff member helped me walk/ wheel my food to my event venue. Everyone was kind and super helpful. I didn't get a chance to eat them since I was working and they were gone by the end of the event, I take this as a great sign :) I also heard tons of great feedback!

    Spicy Crispy Chicken, Spicy Wings, Fries
    Ryan D.

    'Twas disappointing I got the spicy chicken sandwich with scratch sauce & my partner got spicy wings & fries. The fries hit. Crispy, hot, and they have some type of house seasoning on them..good stuff. Now this spicy chicken was another story. Remember those school lunch chicken sandwiches..those are the vibes but spicy as hell. No flavor just spice same with the wings just spice. Idk I expected spicy with flavor, I just sat there with a spicy mouth couldn't taste nothing but spicy. Adding the scratch sauce helps but ehhh. The disappointment was in the food not the service, cashier was great. Helpful young fella etc. etc.

    Grabbed Chicken Scratch at the Foundry last night before a movie! There wasn't too big of a line and after we ordered, it only took 10 minutes or less to get our food. I got two chicken tenders with a side of fries and their ranch style sauce, and my boyfriend got the chicken caesar wrap - one of his favorite foods! The chicken tenders were very good and absolutely piping hot - took ages to cool down. I didn't try the wrap but he reported it was good but nothing extra special. The nice thing was that it was all extremely filling so it felt like we got our moneys worth! The ranch wasn't my favorite but I think that is a personal preference. The fries might have been the best part, I loved the seasoning! I'd happily go back.

    Son wanted CFA so this was the best alternative. Chicken was super duper dry as if it was intentional. Wasted $14 because son didn't want to eat it.

    Unicorn wings

    I love the Foundry Food Hall and have been trying several venues within since I discovered. I had a hankering for wings, so when I saw Chicken Scratch's offering, I ordered the flavor they said would be the hottest. All that to say the 'unicorn' sauce was A) not hot and B) not that interesting. Considering they named it after something highly desirable but difficult to find or obtain...I was underwhelmed. Overall the wings were fine and drenched in sauce, but I'll probably try a different food stall next time if I get the same craving. Maybe I'll give the other items on the menu a try and update my review.

    Dry spicy rub wings

    The food was hot but the wings were so covered in a dry spicy rub they were not edible.... A waste of money for sure

    We are not talking CFA chicken sandwiches here. Sandwiches made fresh in front of your eyes in an open kitchen. The location is inside the STL Foundry which is a newer food hall and entertainment venue. Order off the kiosk because this is a one man operation. Expect order to take up to 15 minutes if orders ahead. Pay by cash or card and can tip off the machine. They offer bottled drinks only. Sandwich was good! Crispy chicken, fresh pickles and can add sauces. Bun was average, but fresh. The staff friendly, but busy! I would return. 3.5 rounding up and would return.

    I had the 1/4 rotisserie chicken meal. The portion is kind of small for a meal. It only came with the chicken (leg&thigh) and a side salad for like $16. Got the food pretty fast and it tasted good. Well.

    Chicken caesar wrap and fries

    I frequent the Foundry food hall and had yet to check out Chicken Scratch, since I'm not always in the mood for a chicken sandwich. But I do love a chicken caesar wrap, and I saw it on the menu. It wasn't one of the best ones I've ever had, it was very bland. Barely any dressing, and more croutons than chicken. I mean I do love croutons but still. The photo makes it look more full than it was, after a couple bites of each side, it was mostly tortilla and lettuce. For $13 ($22 after fries and a tip), I'll pass on the caesar wrap next time. But maybe I'll try a chicken sandwich. Service was meh. Only 2 people working, but it wasn't exactly a popping day at the Foundry. Employee at the counter barely said a word except for my total, he didn't seem particularly thrilled to see me, but I've worked customer service so I know we have off days.

    Chicken Tenders
    Nick B.

    How do you mess up chicken tenders? These were so dry our 2 year old (who loves chicken tenders) wouldn't even eat them. We returned them for a refund. As you can see, the breading on these is burnt and almost non existent. Seasoning is bland - just all around really not good. This is my 2nd time trying the place and both times was a major disappointment. Won't be back. It's fried chicken guys....have some pride in your product because this is embarrassing for STL.

    Chicken Scratch Dry Rub. You can pick up at the restaurant!

    I've been using Chicken Scratch Dry Rub on chicken and fish, and it's a total game-changer! It's bold and flavorful without being too much, and just the right amount of kick! I usually struggle with cooking fish (it never turns out quite right), but somehow this seasoning makes it taste like a pro made it. Honestly, it makes everything better. I throw it on and instantly feel like a chef!

    The spicy and crispy chicken sandwich were both delicious. Not oily or messy , seasoned just right . Hot and fresh . So were the fries(crunchy and well seasoned ) and the coleslaw . Highly recommend the unicorn sauce (mix of hot sauce and house sauce ) . Service was great and food arrived quickly. They also have whole and half chicken . I would eat here for sure when I have a fried chicken craving . Located in the city foundry with lots of seating areas and communal tables . Will eat here again and again that's for sure.

    Spicy  crispy chicken sandwich
    Jason V.

    It was okay. For $23-something I got the spicy chicken sandwich, large order of potato wedges and a can of Diet Coke. Whoopity. The sandwich was alright; didn't care much for the sauce it came with. I don't even know what was in it, but it was a little sweeter than I thought it was. I should have gotten a smaller order of wedges but I wasn't sure how big the portions were. I thought it was very pricey, but I gotta keep telling myself that these businesses probably pay high rent at the old Foundry, so... Service was okay. The curly haired Gen-Z'er dude wasn't that friendly, or maybe he just didn't want to be there. Anyway, thought I'd try this place out. Let's just say I've had better chicken sandwiches.

This location was sure busy and wasn't sure if we would be able to dine in but right after we placed our order on the kiosk a table had just opened up. Few things to point out before I get to the food. You can order at the counter, but they also have two kiosks that you can order which made it nice bc there was a line for counter orders so we walked right in, placed our order at the kiosk. The only issue that it's so tricky when ordering from the kiosk bc you have to make sure you click each item per chicken. It's not per order so really pay attention if you need to modify. My daughter and I both did meal #1 which comes with two tenders set on top of bread, pickles and fries. I got the lightly mild bc I don't like spicy food and no pickles. You have to make sure you say no pickles for chicken 1 and chicken 2. It's really weird. And bc it was our first time there it took us a while to make sure the order was exactly as we wanted it. My daughter got medium for her level with no bread and no pickles. Again click no bread, no pickle for each tender. My daughter loves spicy foods and she said the medium level is actually the perfect amount of heat. The seasoning they use on the chicken and the fries is what makes it good. I thought the lightly mild was perfect bc it had that tiny kick to where I could enjoy it. Now you also have few choices for sauces like ketchup, honey and it also automatically came with a sauce and not really sure what kind of sauce it was, but it just wasn't for me. I really wished they had a house made ranch or honey mustard bc sometimes you just want to dip your tenders in lol. So I was really disappointed that those weren't an option. Lastly, we have the crinkle fries. I've never been a fan of crinkle fries.....but these crinkle fries are the only crinkle fries I'll ever eat. Absolutely loved them! They were crispy and the seasoning....muah . Overall, my daughter and I thought they were okay and next time her and I will share one order bc neither of us were able to finish the two giant tenders plus the fries. Which makes ordering kinda cool bc you can do different levels per tender .

We found our new favorite chicken spot. We're working our way through the menu, want to try the fried catfish and other sides as well. I've been recommending this spot ever since.
