What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.

The parking lot may be unkept and the exterior a tad rough, but once inside the sounds and smell let you know the food is going to be amazing. We stopped for dinner on our way to the zoo, and we were pleasantly surprised. The menu is simple and authentic. The plantains were cooked perfectly, a little char was the perfect balance to the sweetness, likely the best in the area. I also had the vegan empanadas, don't let vegan fool you, it was rich in flavor and the potato exterior was incredible. I had to force myself to stop eating so I could have leftovers. And the cabbage slaw was sweet, hot and grilled. You can place an order to go at the counter or eat in house with table service, the choice is yours. We will definitely be back.

When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more.

She said she wanted to be by the water, somewhere "healing", so we discovered Tinkers Creek Tavern together, and the scenery was more than we anticipated. We opted for the patio, of course. While it was hot outside, we didn't notice the heat. The shade from the trees and the creek nearby must have cooled things down. Bugs were not an issue either. The staff was super friendly. We explained we were newbies ans asked for recommendations. We learned their brisket is something they're known for, but I leaned more towards seafood. I had the shrimp and grits for my meal, after the pretzel as an appetizer. The food was so good and our experience was so great I told my mom about it, who happened to go back with my brother while I was at work one Saturday (bummer ). I've also called in take out, and returned several times with another friend and my middle son. We had the fried green tomatoes, fried mozzarella, corn pudding, and brisket sandwich (I opt out the cheese). The food hits every time.

Friends and family always circle back with a "thank you" after visiting, especially when they're in the Valley View or Independence area. When I worked nearby for a couple of years, my coworkers and I made a habit of grabbing lunch on the patio. It overlooks the calm stretch of Tinkers Creek, which adds a quiet, almost tucked-away feel to the experience. One afternoon, we even watched a crane wade through the water, bathing and fishing like it owned the place. Not a bad backdrop for a lunch break. Consistently great food, reliable service, and a setting that does a little extra without trying too hard.

Food was ready within minutes after ordering online, there were a few people eating inside at one of the tables, the counter was full of takeout orders.
