    This is a great family spot, while we visited on a Saturday we were very surprised it wasn’t super busy. We went at the right time! We decided to order some appetizers which was enough for 3! Food: Scratch Chili fries 5/5 this dish was delicious, the chili was delicious I loved that it was not salty! Bacon Mac and cheese 4/5 for my preference wish it had more bacon. Street tacos 4/5 Not bad in taste but a lot of meat for small tacos. Steak bites 4/5 tasty just needs to be cooked medium if you want it to be juicer we ordered medium well. Service: 5/5 Isabel who was our server was very attentive and friendly. She recommended some great dishes and drinks! Will definitely come back. Parking can be a little tricky if you are not Familiar with the area but we were able to park down the block.

    It was our first night in Honolulu and we walked over to Ala Moana to get dinner. We’re so happy we chose Scratch Kitchen. We were seated right away (Monday night) and shared Lilikoi BBQ Pork Ribs and Grandule Rice, both of which were delicious. We also had a couple of La Berry Iced Teas, a nice refreshing drink. Service was friendly and attentive, making for an all around fun dinner.

    Kids wanted steak.....yes our kids flew into Oahu with their Papa...first thing I asked what do you want to eat....both said....STEAK! okay, so that's a whole thing... kids in a restaurant that serves a good steak... if you know what I'm saying. First of all, our kids are NOT rowdy, and they always sit quietly and eat...5 and 9 years old. Sooooo with that being said, we went to Scratch. There were no other kids there, so I'm not sure I would say it's a kid friendly place, but......the food is solid and the staff was so nice to all of us! We got the kids steak bites and Mac- n- cheese.... It was a show for them for sure.The steak bites came out sizzling! They loved this! But I would say this is more of a steak sliced vs. steak bites.. Either way, the flavor was solid. The meat was seasoned well and cooked just slightly pink, great for them. My hubby got a Ribeye....I was a but jealous I didn't order it....so I ate A LOT of his haaahaa! It was really, really, ONO! Great place for a simply seasoned, not overcomplicated steak. I ordered the ribs......if you're a sauce fan, then order these. The ribs were tender and juicy, and the sauce was so good, was like icing on the cake! If you want a solid simple meal, Scratch is your place! Keep in mind it's cooked well, so you may wait a bit for your food. If you have the time and patience, it's worth it.

    Went there for brunch and left very satisfied. First of it's always nice when there is parking garage nearby and the parking is free especially in Hawaii. So that definitely got us off to a good start. They don't take reservations and we needed our whole party there to be seated. I wanted so many items on the menu and glad we came as a big party so I got to try several things. The pics got me with the Milk N Cereal pancakes but they were actually too sweet for my liking.l but looked so pretty. The kids loved it though. The Brulee'D French toast was bomb! Would definitely order this again. Wanted to try the pork chop so got it as an appetizer and it was crisp, juicy and seasoned perfectly. The loco moco adobo was also pretty bomb definitely finished this up and left no scraps on the plate. The kids and adults loved the bacon Mac n cheese. Great brunch spot and good service.
