This shop has been around for years and I was finally able to visit. It's in a shopping Ctr very easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Great big smile very cheerful and helpful. The menu is small and consistent. I asked for the top 2 best sellers. Sandwiches are 5.00 and HUGE. Well made and good quality fresh ingredients. The French bread was flaky and pillowy. The veggies were crisp and had good distinct flavors. All sandwiches are dressed the same. #2 combination has pâté, butter and head cheese. This was my fav. It all just worked. A great bite 9/10. #5 grilled pork was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. The pork had a marinade paired with the daikon was too sweet for me but I'd definitely recommend it 7/10. Don't think....add it to ur list!

We are visiting from the Bay Area. Our sister recently moved to Dallas and was in search of a good banh mi sandwich. We found this through YouTube. We are so happy we found it! The sandwiches are delicious, fresh Ingridents, and the bread is everything. Crunchy and soft French bread. We got the combo and grilled pork banh mi. Each is $5. What a great deal!!! The sugarcane drink was made with fresh sugarcane. Loved it! They make everything in house and fresh daily. Friendly owners and made all of our sandwiches really fast! There are spots to sit inside but we opted to get it to go. Very cute inside decor and clean. We will come any time we visit :)

I don't frequent this part of town as much, so it's been awhile since my last visit. Recently, had to stop to get my bahn mi fixing. Good to see that that they offer the buy 5 get 1 free deal. Overall, the store was clean and very simple. The menu is just some pictures of their bahn mi, but no price or description in English. Also notice my receipt after I got home that they charge extra for using credit card. I don't mind the fee, but it really needed to be posted or at least verbally tell the customer prior. Otherwise, the bahn mi was good as last time. As it's only my son and I that like bahn mi in our family, it took us 2 days to finish eating all 6 of them. One tip to heat them up is to microwave it for about 30 seconds then to toast them about 5 min to give that perfect crunchy toast on the outside while the veggies stay crisp. Overall, I still think it's a good place to go if you're craving for bahn mi. The star deduction is more for the lack of transparency in doing businesss, such as no English description, no price, and not disclosing to charge extra for using credit card.

So good!

Staff was friendly and food was delicious! Ordered the sugar cane juice and it wasn't too sweet, just right!

#2  Banh MI Dac Biet, Special Combination.

#2 Banh MI Dac Biet, Special Combination. Ham, pork roll, pate, & head cheese. Pickled daikon radish, onion, & cucumber. Vietnamese mayo, cilantro, & onion. Flavorful & the veggie protein ratio was perfect. Only $5.00. They make everything but the bread in house. Try it. You will love.

Honestly did not expect this place to be that good but the owners are super nice and its a small and close by shop for banh mi! There was not too much meat on the inside of the sandwhich but again it was only 3 dollars each! Also buy 5 get 1 free deal! I got 5 plus 1 free grilled pork and it was good! I got veggies on the side so i could go home and toast it for a minute to make the bread extra crispy before adding the cold pickled veggies. He gave a lot of the pickled raddish and carrots which i love which was great! I would definitely go again if I am too lazy to drive to garland for my favoirte banh mi place there. I also got a sugar cane drink which was sweet and tasted almost like fresh coconut juice just extra sweet. Not bad but not sure if I would get it again just because it was so sweet and had this aftertaste that I am not sure if it was normal or if its because the sugar cane sticks he had wete getting old. Either way still good but I haven't had enough sugar cane to know if thats normal or not!

Very simple place to get your banh mi. The dac biet sandwhich had generous portion of meat & vegetables. I paid $10 for 2 banh mi which is fine but I've had better for cheaper. Also the menu is very simple not many banh mi options compared to some other places. Other than that I would probably come back because it's close when I'm craving some banh mi.

What are the meats on the special Combination?

Hello, the meats in our special combination are the sliced pork roll, ham, and head cheese. This sandwich also comes with a spread of pate and Vietnamese mayo.

Is it still cash only? And is there an ATM?

Not sure about atm. But you can use credit card, but do know they do charge a fee to use it

What's the going rate for a banh mi these days? Thanks

$3 each

The wait staff and bartender were kind, friendly, and attentive. The vibe was chill, the music was perfect. It was not too loud and we had great conversation. The beers and drinks were excellent. The food was delicious. We especially loved the giant pretzel--it was the best! We will definitely be back!

This may be controversial, however, I think the food is better than the beer. We stopped by here…read morelast night for dinner. Bankhead has a nice design and I liked the layout inside. There are 2 floors for dining and drinking. The architecture outside and the decor inside including the bathroom gives lets say "Speak Easy" vibe from the roaring 20s. The hostest and our server were both very nice and attentive. Thanks to them and to Bankhead for providing them. I had the Mediterranean Chicken and a BrewDaddy Ultra Lite beer. The chicken breast was tender and delightful. The sauce along with the cheese and fresh herbs covering it gives that Mediterranean flavor. There was also a little hummus on the side. The mashed potatoes were soft and creamy. Again, these were quite delicious. The broccoli spears were I think roasted. Put all 3 together and you get an excellent tasty meal. My beer as in the name, was very lite and kind of a Mich Ultra and Bud Lite blend. So kind of like drinking water. I also tried the Low Beams and the Wit Me One More Time. I didn't particularly like either one of them but I would get the Wit Me One More Time again as the name implies. Anyhows, it was a good time and an enjoyable meal! Thank you Bankhead!

I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, so I finally decided to celebrate my birthday…read morehere and I'm so glad I did! At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.
