Scratch Kitchen & Cocktails, Paseo

This was the first restaurant in Oklahoma City I've visited and it set the bar insanely high for other restaurants. The food, the drinks, the vibes, everything was so damn good. The staff are amazing, it really felt like hanging out and drinking with friends. Plus, the ingredients are sustainably sourced from local farms (if that matters to you). I enjoyed my time here very much, and I can't wait for my next visit. Much love to this spot!

Small OKC bar with very good handcrafted drinks and cocktails with each bartender bringing their own drink to the table . The kitchen Has a great whiskey selection as well the food was average, but the bartenders themselves were very helpful and witty.

Lots of restaurants either source locally or have really good tasting stuff but Scratch is one of the few restaurants in Oklahoma City that does both perfectly. They don’t just source one thing from one local farm and tout “farm to table”, they are helping change the local food system by constantly asking what else they can get locally, and the flavor and seasonality of the menu really shines through. Lotsssss of stuff is made in house (condiments, breads, pickled goods, pimento cheese!!) and you notice the quality difference not only in the ingredients but in how they are prepared. They have some good happy hour priced cocktails as well. Can’t really rate this restaurant highly enough- If you haven’t tried it, go try it. (I esp love the chicken sandwich, charcuterie board, whiskey sour and gimlet 😝😝😝. )

Decided to fill up with delicious food before hitting the Paseo Arts Festival! We started with the cornbread sticks and the way too yummy honey butter. Devoured the chicken fried steak and potatoes! And had to partake in the bacon braised collard greens. Everything was delicious and filled us up. We were quickly seated and the waitress was amazing. Took care of so many tables with ease. Always a great experience at Scratch in the Paseo!
