I visited again during this trip, remembering how much I enjoyed the food and atmosphere a few years ago. The food was still delicious and the ambiance was great, but my experience was completely ruined by the behavior of one of the servers. I asked if they could empty the jar I had my lemonade in because I wanted to take it with me, but the server reacted with obvious annoyance, shaking their head in frustration. After emptying the jar, they slammed it down on the table with a loud bang and walked away. I’ve never encountered such rude service before.

I dropped off my car to be detailed at a shop on Kawaiahao Street and was “killing” time before heading to Ward Theater to see a movie at noon. I walked through Ward Centre and the shops across the street looking for a place to have a small meal. My first two choices weren’t open yet and I thought to myself, “Why not go to Scratch?” I hadn’t been to Scratch since they moved out of Chinatown (a long time ago).
I was seated near the rear of the restaurant and ordered coffee while perusing the menu. I vacillated between what I’d ordered before (shrimp and grits) and something new. I ended up choosing the waffle with a side of bacon. I asked my server to have the waffle extra crispy as I do not like a soggy waffle.
My food arrived in short order … My waffle came with whipped butter, blueberries and strawberries on top and a small container of maple syrup on the side. The bacon arrived in a separate metal tray. Unfortunately, the waffle wasn’t as crispy as I’d hoped for … The color was indicative of a crispy waffle, but it was normal. The reason I ask for an extra crispy waffle is that once you spread the butter and apply syrup, the waffle turns soggy quickly, like cereal once milk is added. It’s a personal preference; I think the waffle would be fine for most diners. The bacon was fine … Crisp but not overdone (which would have been fine with me).
I enjoyed my meal and would return to try other dishes. Service was fine too.

Had a great time during my visit for brunch. My second time visiting and the food, service and experience was quality. The upside down strawberry pineapple mimosa was sooo good and a highlight of the meal! I appreciated the attentive service, our meal came out quick, and the playlist was top notch! Also shout out to the men in the kitchen working hard and whipping up delicious brunch meals. Good cooks who care about the food they put out deserve to be acknowledged and appreciated. Thank you

On this night this upscale restaurant was the perfect place to end our evening. After touring the north shore area sightseeing and sampling food trucks, we wanted a casual and relaxing sit down meal.
We got seated immediately by the hostess and the waiter was very patience, allowing the kids more time to decide. The menu is simple and consisted of your favorite food but they took each up a notch.
We were a little hesitant because the prices were slightly more than what we wanted to spend but when the kids got their plates we were all amazed by the amount of food they served. From the Apple bacon hamburger to my fish and chips, or the fried chicken dinner to the rib eyes steak meal, the price was justifiably and now not an issue at all. And each dish was perfectly prepared and delicious.
They don’t have a kid’s menu but their list of appetizers had enough small plates, like Mac and Cheese or the chicken nuggets that should satisfy the kids and your budget. Otherwise, you can split the dinners to keep the cost and the leftovers to a minimum.
Service was attentive throughout the meal. Highly recommended.

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 Brûlée’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.

Let me tell you I’ve never been so torn about leaving a review before! On one hand the food and service was so amazing I want to shout from the rooftops BUT I also want to keep it a secret so it doesn’t get flooded with patrons and I can go back! I’m literally typing this review sitting on the side of the bed with my jeans pulled down to my ankles because I’m so full I was afraid my button was going full projectile at any moment! This was by far the best experience we had in our 4 days here so far!! The hostess and manager were so warm and inviting from the start! Then we had a wonderful server but everyone really helps each other so there is never a moment where you feel ignored! Now the food… Escargot was better than some 5 star French restaurants I’ve been to, bone marrow to die for, garlic shrimp . And a pork chop that was thick and juicy while being crispy! We will definitely be going back!

The staff were all amazing. So helpful and kind I would have given 5 stars. The food is pretty average, and thus very overpriced. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and French toast. French toast was great, eggs Benedict very meh.

We had a party of four.
Drinks were Kimchee Bloody Mary, traveling plum margarita, and an Ola Brew vanilla porter.
Food selections were crispy mashed potatoes, escargot, Lilikot pork ribs, Grandma’s fried pork chop pasta, Scratch House burger, and Creole shrimp n’ sausage grits, and a south shore cobb salad with chicken. The food was good, my burger was cooked to perfection, medium. Everyone else seemed very happy with their selections.
Be aware, there is a 4% “kitchen appreciation charge”. However, a tip selection is up to you.
Bottom line, food and service by Jasmine were satisfactory.

Scratch Kitchen Ward is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Honolulu. Tucked away from the usual tourist paths, this spot offers a delightful dining experience that’s well worth the effort to find. The food here is simply fantastic, with a menu that caters to a variety of tastes. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or sweet, you’ll find dishes that are not only satisfying but also creatively crafted.
One of the biggest perks is the free parking at the shopping center, which makes the visit even more convenient—especially in a city where parking can often be a hassle. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a meal.
If you’re looking for a place that’s off the beaten trail, with great food and easy access, Scratch Kitchen Ward should definitely be on your list!
