    The staff were very welcoming and friendly from the time I entered until I left. You could easily tell the regulars, the gentleman greeted them by name and even talked about other family members that came in for a meal. The food was delicious!! Once seated, you're offered a hot beverage, water, and a muffin to nibble on while you peruse the menu, the muffin for the day was pumpkin cheesecake and it was quite tasty I ordered the vanilla French toast with scrambled eggs and breakfast, paired with some cranberry juice. I can't wait to go back to try some of the Latin cuisine! They're open daily 7-3, serving breakfast from open to close along with other menu items.

    Chicken omelette

    Love it for local fresh breakfast. Always greeted upon entry. Cozy seating. The complimentary muffins give a good start especially if hungry. The chicken omelet is the bomb filled with fresh green peppers. The 2 egg sandwich is a good portion.

    My husband and I had a lovely breakfast at Scratch Kitchen. The warm and inviting environment made for a very comfortable start to our dining experience. It was nice to hear a bit of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" and "La Llorona" playing in the background, blending two cultures in one place. The service was great. The staff treated each guest with kindness, respect, and professionalism. The food was worth the trip. I ordered the Big Scratch Platter with Turkey Bacon and a Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancake. My husband chose the Chicken Fajita Omelet. Everything was flavorful and well-cooked. I'm so glad we stopped by during our trip. We'll definitely remember this place to visit again on our next trip to Maryland.

    Breakfast at the scratch, kitchen is truly a wonderful experience. The pancakes are fluffy. The waffles are delightful and everything that goes along with it is beautifully prepared and very fresh as the name implies it is made from scratch. The restaurant itself is sat in a non-descriptive industrial area in Olney and a little bit difficult to find. But once inside you're treated with fresh ingredients, light and fluffy pancakes and waffles and the fresh stuff ingredients. The staff goes out of their way to make sure all your needs are met.

    They don't have any fancy coffee, but it is fine.

    Chill and Relax restaurant for Breakfast, Lunch and Brunch in Olney, MD. Their dining room is not huge but is enough space for chit-chat of 2-4 groups of people. Cute and lovely decoration. Menu has variety selection, but too bad that they don't serve handcraft coffee. The food was nice as the standard, but for me a cozy vibe is make it different. Also the staffs are friendly and helpful. Anyway, the restaurant location seem a little confused, hidden inside narrow corner, free parking spaces are available in front of the restaurant but quite limit.

    Bacon and egg breakfast sandwich with potatoes
    Debby O.

    I had been so excited to get the chance to finally try this place. It's a quaint cafe so I suggest making a reservation if you decide to check them out. I loved the flavor of the mango iced tea. My potatoes were perfectly crispy. When it comes to the breakfast sandwich it was quite bland and dry, I wish there had been some type of aioli or sauce on it. It came out with a side of ketchup, so I had asked if I could swap it out for barbecue sauce since I don't like ketchup and our server Liz just said "we don't have it". The host/owner was very polite and personable, I feel we would've had a better experience if he was the only staff member who served us. My friend had a crab cake sandwich and she said it was dry. When it was time to pay I had asked Liz if we could do an even split and she says "no, I already printed the separate checks", I understand that it may have been an inconvenience to her, but I just wish she said it in a more polite manner. Overall, it was a very mediocre experience, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

    This is our go-to breakfast place in Olney. The owner greets us every time we come in like family. The food is delicious, hot and fresh. The ricotta pancakes, French toast & pupusas are a must!

    My cousin and I had a good experience at Scratch! We arrived soon after they opened on a Friday morning and were met with friendly service and good food. The lemon ricotta pancakes were amazing and enough for two people to share. My cousin enjoyed his breakfast, especially the pancakes. Also the orange juice was very fresh :)

    Very cozy, well decorated, quaint little spot. Appears to be family owned/operated and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very welcoming. We sat down and were served complimentary pumpkin cream cheese muffins (very decadent and delicious). The turkey club was massive and served with perfectly seasoned French fries. Greek spinach omelette was just ok but served with home fries that were a hit with the whole table. Overall would dine again for the friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, but would try another dish other than the Greek omelette. Would love to try their sweet selections or breakfast sandwiches on the next trip.

    *Single Hander Signature 2 Egg Sandwich- croissant, cheddar, scrambled eggs
    Christine R.

    This is such a cute place! I went fairly early in the AM so I went straight to the counter to check in. The decor was very cozy and rustic. The owner was friendly and we chatted a bit while I waited for my order. I got the 2 pupusas and they were delicious, especially with the sauce. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was very reasonably priced. It was also tasty, even a couple hours later. I'll be back soon!

    Single hander sandwich
    Ed G.

    Sandwich was decent but it could have been better. The price feels right at $7 but there could have been 3 eggs instead of 2? Or maybe an extra sausage for .50 more? Or maybe getting on a croissant instead of brioche will be what it needed? Willing to give it another shot and hope for the best. Service was alright but abrupt as I was placing a Togo order, seemed as though he was in a rush. Place was busy and not a single open table so business is good. I can see why scratch kitchen is popular and I'm going try it out some more.

    Dear Management, I…read moream writing to share my family's experience during our Father's Day visit to your restaurant. Unfortunately, what should have been a special celebration turned into a very disappointing experience due to the service we received upon arrival. We had a reservation for 4:00 p.m. When we arrived, the gentleman at the host stand was not welcoming or friendly. He simply told us to "step to the side" and that someone would assist us in a few minutes. As the minutes passed, we continued to wait without any communication. During that time, a white family of five walked in without a reservation and was seated immediately. At that point, I approached the host stand to ask what had happened and why we had not been seated despite having a reservation. The host searched for our reservation, asked what time it was scheduled for, and then casually stated, "I think someone stole your table." I was shocked by this response. I asked how that could happen if he was responsible for managing the seating. He had no explanation and, more importantly, never offered an apology for the mistake or the inconvenience. A manager later came over and asked what had happened. After I explained the situation, he appeared genuinely surprised and concerned by what had occurred. Once we were finally seated, our server acknowledged the delay and kindly offered us an appetizer because of the long wait at the front. We appreciated that gesture, but it did not change how unwelcome we had been made to feel upon arrival. I am writing this letter not because I am looking for compensation or anything in return. My purpose is simply to ensure that no other family has a similar experience, especially on a day meant to celebrate loved ones. Every guest deserves to be treated with fairness, courtesy, and respect. A sincere apology from the host at the time of the incident would have gone a long way. I hope you will use this feedback as an opportunity to coach your front-of-house staff on the importance of customer service, communication, and accountability. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. Sincerely, Ms. Deas

I do think the staffing would be helped by adding another person, but that's just based on what I saw. I give the restaurant 4 stars just because the pricing was a bit high, but I do understand we were in a nicer area and hotel pricing is typically high.

The place…read morewas packed when we arrived, and it was pretty noisy inside, so sitting outside turned out to be the right call. The only rough part was the welcome. The hostess seemed to avoid eye contact for about five minutes even though we were standing right in front of her. It felt a little like we had shown up too early for a surprise party that was clearly not for us. Once we were seated, everything improved. Our waitress, Paige, was attentive, thoughtful, and made the experience feel genuinely warm. We started with the mussels, which were exceptional; meaty, creamy, and delicious, with bread good enough to make restraint feel optional. We also had the mini Paloma oyster shooters, which were fun and memorable. I ordered a seasonal cocktail with very little simple syrup, since I usually do not like sweet drinks, and they got it exactly right, which is rarer than it should be. For the main course, we had the seasonal surf and turf special, an 8 oz filet mignon with crab meat over asparagus and succotash. The crust on the steak was excellent, the vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the filet was cooked exactly as ordered. We finished with their newer take on key lime pie, which was very good and nicely balanced; not too sweet, not too tart. We spent just under $100 per person, so this is not an inexpensive night out. That said, the food quality and service largely justify the price. Overall, aside from the awkward start at the hostess stand, this was an excellent first visit. We spent just under $100 per person, so GrillMarX is not playing in the bargain bin, but the food and service were strong enough that we would absolutely come back

The only thing I would comment on is the fact our server kinda seemed like his shift was about to end and wanted us to hurry up and close our tab. The only reason I name it so specifically is because I have felt like this before when I used to work at a restaurant but the difference is that I would give the table their space and allow them to finish organically.

The hostess was warm and accommodating, offering to seat me while I waited for my friend. Once she arrived, we were promptly shown to a comfortable booth in the dining room. The floor-to-ceiling windows filled the space with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. We started with the cheesesteak spring rolls (three per order), which were delicious. They tasted exactly as advertised--gooey cheesesteak filling wrapped in a perfectly crispy spring roll. For our entrees, my friend ordered the short ribs with broccoli instead of risotto, while I chose the Cajun shrimp pasta. The short ribs came with two generous pieces and were incredibly tender. My friend, who always orders short ribs whenever they're on a menu, was thoroughly impressed. The Cajun shrimp pasta was just okay. While it included a generous portion of nicely sized shrimp and the sausage added some much-needed flavor, the dish overall fell short of my expectations. The pasta was cooked slightly past al dente, and I was hoping for more of the bold, spicy kick you'd expect from a Cajun dish, but the flavors never really came through. To top off the evening, our server surprised me with a complimentary birthday dessert, allowing me to choose anything on the menu. That was such a thoughtful touch. We shared the cheesecake, which was served in a half mason jar with whipped cream, a chocolate "Happy Birthday" plaque, and a candle. I requested the blueberry compote on the side since I wasn't sure we'd enjoy it. While it ended up being a bit sweeter than our preference, it complemented the tart cheesecake filling nicely. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the cheesecake was served warmer than expected. On a hot summer evening, I was anticipating a chilled dessert. Overall, I had a fantastic experience. The attentive service, comfortable atmosphere, and the fact that we never felt rushed--even after spending about two and a half hours at dinner--made for a memorable birthday celebration. While my entrée didn't quite hit the mark, I'd gladly return to try another dish with a bolder flavor profile.
