Fresh Scratch Bistro

This is a charming little restaurant located on A1A. We dropped in after 1 PM for someone late lunch. I had the French dip which was absolutely spectacular. The roll was so fresh. They might have baked it just before we got there. And the beef was very flavourful and tender. As a side dish, I went with the chips now. Do not let the menu fool you. These are not out of the bag potato chips. These are out of the deep fryer freshly cooked chips. Krispy and well salted. The older person with us thought it was too much salt but I liked it. I forget their actual name for it. But the one dish that was disappointing was a bowl that consisted of fried rice, mango and pineapple. While they say it is made fresh to order. It looked and felt like it was a pre-made mix of ingredients that was just reheated. This will not be ordered again but other things on their menu will The one disappointment was that they have an awesome sounding bananas. Foster's French toast on the menu and the menu says it is served until 2 PM. We tried to order that, but we're told. It is only available on Sundays during brunch, which is not something that was noted on the menu. While this restaurant has a very nice indoor section. There is also an outdoor covered patio with almost as many tables as inside. The patio does have roll down plastic sides in case the weather is bad. It is a very nice little venue and we are actually returning there to celebrate our Thanksgiving meal with them on Thursday this year. We would look forward to a High quality meal along with a very nice level of service.

A must go if your looking for excellent food, full bar and great service. One of our favorite spots in Brevard!

Awesome food and outstanding dinner music by Bobby and Jeannie Kelly.

What a hidden gem this place is! Great atmosphere, love the character and ambiance. Stellar personal service and awesome food! Met the owner Chuck as well and wow, just blown away by his heartfelt genuine engagement in his establishment! How often do you ever see the owner of a restaurant/bar, let alone talk to them? There's something to say about an establishment that has the good old fashioned heart. Not to mention the delicious food, spectacular taste that leaves you fulfilled without feeling all weighted down by the usual garbage at other places. Loved the menu with multiple unique choices, we are going to have to go back to start trying them all! Definitely recommend Fresh Scratch Bistro to someone wanting to experience a really great meal with great service in a unique atmosphere. You just can't find this anymore these days. Hidden Gem on the A1A : By the way, I saw some of the other reviews. My thought is if you have an issue, then speak up to someone while you are at the Bistro BEFORE you post a negative review. My feel is that the people here want you to have a great experience, so if there's something you don't like, tell them and they will fix it.

This is an honest review of my recent dinner at Fresh Scratch. We arrived for early dinner. About 5:30. There was no one in the restaurant……But that did not deter us. The menu is great and the food is even better. We has the Seafood Jambalaya. I will give it a high marks. We also had the Shrimp Scampi. This however was horrible. Way too much lemon and butter. I was astounded how much butter and lemon. It was not edible at all. I could not eat it. For appetizers we had the Calamari and the Baked Brie with Glaze and walnuts. These were both awesome. Very delicious. Everything was Fresh. You can tell that chef takes pride in the preparation and the ingredients. The seafood was so good in the Jambalaya had so much flavor. My boyfriend said it was in his top 5 meals. My take is this restaurant needs some updating in the decor and the atmosphere. The prices are a bit high for the atmosphere and service but the food makes up for it plus its seafood, which we know is expensive). Again, The menu is outstanding. I will take a star off for the Scampi because honestly, it was horrible. Service was pretty good. I do feel it could have been better but it seems as though the staff was short. This was a great find. Two entrees, two appetizers, two beers and a sweet tea was $108.00. Also…..there is a $4 charge for paying with a credit card. I believe the owner is a local and a Veteran, So I support his business. I recommend if in the area.
