Big Moves: Scratch Burger and Nolita Joe’s Hit BGC and Eastwood

Scratch Burger and Nolita Joe’s, two of Poblacion’s most influential neighborhood food concepts, today announced a dual milestone: the launch of their first-ever Secret Menu and the confirmation of two new store openings in Q1, located in BGC and Eastwood.

The limited-release Secret Menu celebrates the brands’ commitment to flavor innovation, featuring elevated versions of signature dishes, playful kitchen creations, and thoughtful holiday-inspired items. Available exclusively in-store, the lineup highlights the teams’ continued drive to push casual dining forward.

Secret Menu

Poblacion’s favorite flavor rebels are at it again. Scratch Burger and Nolita Joe’s just lifted the lid on their first-ever Secret Menu, an indulgent take on burgers and fries you didn’t even know you needed.

Carolina Slaw Smash — P495


A bold two-patty smash burger layered with NJ chili, creamy coleslaw, melted cheddar, and deeply caramelized onions, all stacked on Scratch’s signature potato bun. A rich, messy, flavor-packed nod to classic American chili-slaws with a Scratch twist.

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich — P340


A juicy fried chicken thigh tossed in zesty buffalo sauce, paired with crisp iceberg lettuce and a cooling bleu cheese sauce. Served on a scratch-made potato bun, it strikes the perfect balance of heat, tang, and creamy richness.

OG Triple Smash — P580


Three perfectly smashed patties layered with cheddar, gouda, and swiss—plus a trifecta of caramelized onions, scratch sauce, and garlic cream cheese. A towering, indulgent showstopper built for true burger lovers.

Chili Cheese Fries — P320


Crispy crinkle-cut fries smothered in hearty NJ chili and Scratch’s silky house cheese sauce, finished with sweet caramelized onions. A full-on comfort dish designed for sharing—but impossible not to keep to yourself.

New Items

Noche Buena Pie (For Sharing)


A festive holiday pizza featuring glazed ham, quezo de bola, mozzarella, roasted tomato and garlic, and a drizzle of pesto. Comforting, celebratory, and designed to bring a taste of Filipino Christmas to the table.

Chick Fingers Basket (For Sharing)


Generous, golden-crisp chicken fingers served with coleslaw, a buttered bun, crinkle-cut fries, and your choice of handcrafted sauces. A shareable crowd-pleaser built for dipping and snacking.

Fog City Shakes: French Vanilla, Fresh Strawberry, Tablea Chocolate


Thick, classic milkshakes blended with premium ingredients—silky vanilla, ripe strawberry, or rich Filipino tablea. A nostalgic finish that pairs perfectly with any Scratch or Nolita Joe’s favorite.

Beyond the Secret Menu debut, Scratch Burger and Nolita Joe’s are expanding their footprint with two new branches in BGC and Eastwood, both slated for Q1 opening. These locations mark the brands’ first major expansion beyond Poblacion, reflecting growing customer demand and strong community support.

“We’re excited to bring the Scratch and Nolita Joe’s experience to even more diners,” said the team behind the brands. “The Secret Menu represents our ongoing commitment to creativity, and the opening of BGC and Eastwood allows us to share that energy with new neighborhoods.”The Secret Menu and other new items are now available for a limited time at the flagship Poblacion store. Additional details on the upcoming branch openings will be announced in the coming weeks.
