    This small but mighty restaurant packs a punch with its array of chicken dishes including one of my favs the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. They also serve chicken and waffles, macaroni and cheese bits and some great non traditional egg roles like a Philly cheesesteak version. Service is always courteous and quick. The dining area is smallish but I've never had to wait or stalk a table. Ample parking and one TV for some entertainment. Nice location right off battleground.

    Double fried chicken with fried okra and mac n cheese

    Can't beat fresh, hot fried chicken! I love and don't mind waiting for made to order. I love the variety of items offered on the menu. The double fried chicken is my go to.! The fried okra is hot and crispy. This time I ordered the mac n cheese...it was ok (in my opinion, needed a little salt). Customer service is good. The place is clean.

    Chicken and waffles
    Mark D.

    Was in the area on a Saturday morning, and I've had this place bookmarked to check out. There was already a nice size crowd inside dining in so it was looking promising that this place was worth my trip. I already knew from looking at the menu before coming in that I was getting chicken and waffles. I like the fact that they let you choose the type of chicken that you want with this option, whether you want tenders, wings, thighs, drumsticks etc. I went with the chicken wings, is my favorite piece of chicken to eat in general. We didn't have to wait that long for our food to come out, and it was piping hot! The chicken wings came out looking very fresh and very good. Broke them apart, and you can see the steam coming out of them, I got very excited! They tasted so good. I also really enjoy my chicken wings being extra crispy, these definitely were that. I didn't ask for them to be specifically made that way, that's the way that they came. I have to say that these might be the best chicken wings I've had in the area. The waffle was also good. Crispy edges and very soft in the middle, just the way that I like it. Also came out very hot and fresh. The service was also very good here, they made sure to check on us to make sure if we need anything, extra syrup, refill of our drinks. I was very impressed with Scratch. I will for sure. Be coming back here again!

    Double fried Chicken, Mac n' Cheese - Regular, Coleslaw
    HeaSun C.

    This was a takeout order of Fried chicken to watch with election results! But they do have seating within the restaurant. It's very no frills and casual place to get lunch. It was my first time, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the double fried. I guess I was expecting it to be crunchier? It was still good, but it just ended up being slightly greasier. Will try the normal fried chicken next time. Coleslaw was quite good, as well as the Mac & Cheese. We also ordered Mashed potatoes. I was a bit surprised it didn't come automatically with gravy -- still yummy though. I didn't read the menu carefully, but all meals come with a small side of slaw, so probably would have ordered something different, as I ended up getting two slaws. Service was quick! By the time I placed the order, and drove to pick it up, it was ready. Definitely will be coming back!

    Biggest and best tenders in town.
    Erik S.

    Scratch has been, and continues to be, our go-to restaurant for some of the best fried chicken in Greensboro, and my review is long overdue for an update, though I do not have a lot new to say because I keep getting the same delicious thing over and over again! The chicken tenders here are monstrous in size, flavor, and ability to provide me with multiple meals! They always come out blazing hot (enough to melt a plastic fork right away, so be careful) with a delicious spice in the batter and an always crispy shell. But the real highlight is when you start combo dipping these beauties in their top notch Korean bbq sauce, and then into their honey mustard. Something about the flavor combo just hits like no other I have found around here. Go get it, you will not be disappointed, and you're gonna need extra sauce for your leftovers! The sides here are always phenomenal as well. We love their baked mac n cheese as a standard, no trip is complete without it. We usually rotate on an additional side though. Our most recent trip we went for the okra, and as you might figure for a place that makes excellent fried chicken, they also fry a mean okra. Perfectly crisp, the okra not chewy at all, goes great with everything. Another winner. Thanks for consistently providing 5 star food and service Scratch team!

    Nashville Hot on Dark Chicken (2pc)
    Josh M.

    As far as fried chicken places go, I was content with my experience at Scratch. The night I visited for dinner, I recognized they work on a skeleton crew (only one representative on the floor). It's a small venue, so they may not need it, but covering the phone lines and taking orders at the counter got a bit overwhelming at times. If you're looking for some serious heat, however, this is not your chicken spot. The hottest offering is the Nashville Hot (according to the wait staff), but it didn't make my nose run or tear up at all. While I agree the chicken was cooked well, was a bit let down that the breading slid off my larger pieces.

    Sooo, I UNashamedly like bojangles and kfc - say what you want... it's tasty in a pinch!! And, this is like 100x's better! We were craving a "home-like" meal without the hassle. Ordered an 8 piece, with corn, slaw, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was so juicy and crunchy and perfectly flavored. I typically don't like green beans that aren't "country style" but these were superior to even those! This place is really, really good - superior, even, to my fried chicken & without the mess! Five stars!

    Mango Habanero chilli wings

    The food was just ok. Hate that my wings weren't tossed in. Do not get the collards, 0/10- taste like water. The egg rolls were just ok, can't really rate it but nothing special.

    My dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday lunch and I picked Scratch. I love southern comfort food and some good fried chicken sounded perfect. This quick service restaurant offers a variety of chicken options- on the bone fried either as original or double fried (extra crispy), chicken tenders, chicken n' waffles, chicken sandwiches, wings, and rotisserie chicken. The meals come with slaw and one side. But do allow you to swap to another side of your choosing if slaw isn't your thing. Items can also be ordered a la carts. The prices are very reasonable and the food comes out hot and pretty quick. I got the 3 PC chicken tenders. You can choose to add seasonings or sauces to the chicken as well. I was craving the classic taste, but did get some of the siracha honey and honey pecan sauces on the side for dipping. Their tenders are big and juicy. Great crispy exterior and moist chicken inside. Three was plenty to feel full, but my heart wanted 6 as it was so good. I additionally ordered the green beans and Mac and cheese as sides. Do wish the tenders had a meal deal like the other traditional friend chicken. They have a lot of southern side options. Their green beans are nice and garlicky. The Mac and cheese is the "slab"preparation I like. Big, long, and flat piece with the extra crispy cheese on top. It was super cheesy and delicious. My birthday tummy was very happy.

    Delicious chicken, served fresh and piping hot. Made to order food in a clean, quick serve atmosphere. Nashville hot Sammy is tasty and fresh, it could be a bit hotter though! Sauces are all homemade! Highly recommend this locally owned gem.

    Classic Chicken Sandwich w fries

    Delicious chicken sandwich! We met there for lunch to celebrate a colleague's birthday. The service was fast and efficient. This restaurant is located in midtown area, and there's much more to explore. The portions are a good size, I ended up taking a to go box. The chicken was cooked to perfection. The place is not too big. I will definitely visit them again.

    913 will forever be my favorite night life chill place to drink and eat. The bar is where I sit…read morehowever there are tables and outside seating in the back as well as indoor tables. Anthony is my fav bartender but everyone does an amazing job. I love the on the menu jalapeno strawberry margarita, but like this night pictured if I want something else he will make it for me ! And he's never made me a bad drink ! (This wasn't my first rodeo here ). On to the food. This wasn't my first time having the collard sausage dip and I could eat it with my hands it was so delicious freshly made and creamy ! This is hands down the best dip I've ever had and to top it off the fried pita !! My only complaint is there aren't enough pitas to dip ratio but I will order more next time. And I found the dip greatly paired with the catfish. ( no judgement) The catfish is something I've had before but I didn't have the pleasure of the waffles the last time and let me tell you ! This is a work of art. I want to personally meet whoever made this idea of layered fish , greens and waffles but it was heavenly. And I wanted to eat it all but my stomach just wouldn't allow it. I did however heat the leftover the following morning for breakfast and they were still perfect. Last but not least the Mac and cheese was creamy, noodles were perfectly cooked and it was seasoned to a T. I'm picky on Mac and cheese being my favorite food and they do it justice. See you all next weekend!

The dip is always so delicious - it's one of my favorite appetizers ever. The pita is really good too. I think they recently started adding cheese to it too which is good but not really necessary in my opinion. At first, they brought us pita that was really burnt but our waiter told us she requested a fresh batch without us even saying anything which I think is great service. I also tried their garlic parm boneless wings & they were so good. I loved how seasoned & salty they were, although they might be too salty for some people. I really loved it though! Their cocktail menu is also really interesting & creative. It's mostly whiskey of course but they do have other spirits. I tried the peanut butter & jelly Old fashioned and it was surprisingly delicious. It really did taste like a PB&J so I highly recommend. The inside is small but there's a nice outdoor seating area too. This really is one of my favorite places to get food in the area BUT the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because anytime I've been there remotely close to closing, they definitely let you know & make you feel rushed. I'm not one to go to restaurants last minute when they're closing because I know how that can make it difficult for employees, but being somewhere 45 minutes before they close shouldn't warrant getting rushed. I've been there before just to have a few cocktails at the bar about 45 min before closing & had the same experience. I still really love this place & will keep going (but probably not within an hour or so of closing lol)

Since it was a little chilly, we opted to sit inside. The vibe was lively without being loud, which I appreciated. I have a hard time enjoying restaurants where it is difficult to carry on a conversation. We ordered coffee, and it came with biscotti, which was a nice touch. I was also impressed with the menu. It had some traditional breakfast and brunch items, but also several more interesting options that made it hard to decide. I finally landed on the Deviled Egg Toast, topped with pickle slaw and served with a side salad. I was not disappointed. It was delicious.

Now, the food. I had the bagel/lox and while it was tasty, it was too ornate, too complicated, with flavors which drowned the subtle lox flavor entirely. Sometimes less is more. My friend was content with whatever he had without deeming it anything remarkable. Breakfast for two came to $51 (incl tip), doubtless a sign of the times. Maybe people will remember that going out to eat used to be a treat, I suspect that would be a very good thing.
