Had the crawfish etouffee. OMG. Incredible! More like a soup that you get to mix but flavor, spiciness, all in all taste. This is really good. Most impressive was the spice level. Right on the border (my wife couldn't eat it) but unless you like really spicy you don't need to add anything. What a taste. Props to the chef! Back to Brigette. What a great server.

I strongly advise against using this establishment again. Firstly, my son received a $10 gift card…read morefrom them, but they were extremely rude and informed me that it had already been used. I informed them that my 14-year-old son never used the card because we haven't been out here. You are 45 minutes away from our home! I suggested that I would still get the bag, but since we never use it, they gave me an email to contact the manager. Long story short, I was told that the gift card was used even though I am letting them know that it is still in its plastic packaging. The day the screenshot the day of 5/52026, my son had a high school track meet in winston Salem at 5:00pm so how could we be two places at once a hour apart! We never used it until we tried that day when we went out to Greensboro to watch a movie. They claimed that there was nothing they could do about it, and then we still received our food to go. They forgot our sauce for our cheese sticks and other items, and they told us that we could come back to get the items instead of replacing them. It is their responsibility to ensure that everything is in the bag if we are paying for it! They have already taken our money, and now they are leaving items that we paid for out of our order! The staff is rude, and I saw a raid can, so I should have known not to deal with these people!

Don't sleep on the bread, either; it's practically required for soaking up every drop of that garlic butter sauce. We also ordered the crab-stuffed oysters, which were rich, generous, and absolutely delicious. The drinks were mixed just right; balanced, strong, and delicious. You also get complimentary potatoes, which were a great touch, though the coleslaw fell a bit flat and lacked flavor compared to how good everything else was. Overall, between the amazing food, solid drinks, and fantastic atmosphere, this place is a gem. I'll definitely be back!

It had been almost two years since we'd been to Southern Roots, and I remembered it being good, but…read morethis visit was even better. We had the burger and gluten-free risotto, and both were very good. The wine list is a strength, with plenty to choose from. Prices are a bit high for Jamestown, but the food and variety justify it. The thing that really stood out for us was the gluten-free options, which goes well beyond the usual salad and grilled chicken: cauliflower crust pizza, quesadillas on a gluten-free tortilla, risotto, and shrimp and grits, plus the meats, salads, and sides that are gluten-free anyway. You don't see that many real options on one menu very often. If you eat gluten-free, put it on your list; if you don't, the food and wine are reason enough to go.

We had a great experience at Southern Roots. Between the table, we tried the Gouda Pimento Dip,…read moreshort ribs, the Granny Smith salad with shrimp, and the crab-stuffed trout. Everything was delicious, although my partner wasn't a huge fan of the short ribs. The trout and salad were both excellent. The cheese dip was delicious. The sides were a standout, especially the Parmesan spaghetti squash, which I highly recommend. We had to put some extra salt on the sides, but that's purely personal preference. They also had several reasonably priced drink specials, which was a nice surprise. The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and a big part of what made the meal so enjoyable. Overall, a really solid dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

CANNOT close your restrooms to customers when you have seating and serve food. Holy crap what a miserable experience in that regard. Little girl gave me one wet paper towel... I'm not cleaning my dogs mouth or your tables. The bathrooms will be open because it is a health department violation. Don't come back with "oh they're broken" because you guys definitely used it. I get why you're doing it, but give people a key for your dine-ins. You're serving seafood boils, open up the restrooms. Okay, basic functionality out of the way. The food! Looking at the place I was skeptic, inside and out. Staff was unwelcoming, got free labor on the inside . The daughter was sweet. But you can tell the parents just want nothing to do with the customers lol. The prices, insane for seafood boil and hibachi food. Budget friendly? ABSOLUTELY Now the quality... well I wish I could tell you the quality of the restrooms but... okay I'm joking here, but seriously. Open it up for paying customers. The Dumplings were really good, nothing special but they were cooked well and the dipping sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and salty. The seafood boil was a major hit. For $38 you get a decent size lobster tail and one crab cluster. They even crack the tail in half leaving you to peel and dip! Must say, that's a 5 star move right there! Crab was even cooked perfectly. How the hell is this place I happen to find the best cooked crabs in months? The egg, potatoes, corn, sauce, all tasty. HOWEVER, my favorite pièce de résistance, the andouille sausage, was the weakest ingredient. Cmon, just put in some good dang sausage please! You'll see me once a week at least. (Sure as hell isn't to use the bathroom). The hibachi! Man the chicken was impressive, nice crisp from the baking powder dredge and the steak was very flavorful. Great quality for both. They even cooked the steak medium, which again... 5 star move! Overall, hibachi? One of the best in the triad I'd say. Quality is great, portion is great, price is the best in town. 5/5 The seafood boil? Please use better sausage, but the price? Best in town. 4/5 The bathrooms? No rating. Okay I'm done with the bathroom talk. Clean the place a little bit, put in an air freshener, keep the food rolling, and I'll return!

It was not better or worse than any other place so it's something I would order again. Then I tried the friend seafood-red snapper with rice and potatoes. The snapper was so tough!

The service was impeccable. The chicken and waffles looked delightful as well. The place is very posh and they have parking behind the building and make sure you walk towards the outside of the building towards their ground floor entrance! I'll be back soon!

Magnolia Blue was one of my favorite High Point eateries. Whether I went for weekend brunch or New…read moreYear's Eve dinner, I never had a bad meal there. It closed in early February for what were supposed to be renovations, only to reopen months later with a new name and a new concept, trading slightly upscale Southern for more upscale Italian. In some regards, this makes sense - it fills a void created by the closure of Lulu and Blu - but in other ways, it's a massive gamble. My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner, and while it was an overall pleasant experience, it also made us miss Magnolia. The higher price point is the chief culprit. Otto and Blue offers pastas in the $20s and entrees starting in the $30s, bread and olive oil not included. While we were celebrating an occasion that merited such a splurge, it's hard to imagine the restaurant remaining competitive at those prices once the sheen of newness wears off. Look past that, however, and Otto and Blue shines in both ambiance and service. It's classy without being stuffy, and the dark turquoise tones suit it well. Allison, a Magnolia Blue mainstay, was personable and attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Otto and Blue's menu offers apps, salads, pastas, and entrees. It's predominantly Italian albeit with a few options for the steak-and-potatoes crowd. The dishes range from recognizably classic (rigatoni Bolognese) to conspicuously elevated (halibut piccatta). After mulling over several offerings, we went with the bread service, tagliatelle, and duck cacciatore. The food ranged from fairly good to outstanding. While $9 for bread is a tough pill to swallow, they executed it as well as they possibly could have: a hot, fresh ciabatta with tasty herb butter, olive relish, and a quality olive oil-balsamic combo as accompaniments. The cacciatore boasted a pair of duck legs confit, and while I'm usually no fan of dark meat poultry, these were prepared well with crispy skin and plenty of meat. For a typically hearty dish, the sauce seemed light (and a bit subdued), but that could be a consequence of serving atop polenta (more absorbent) rather than pasta. Speaking of pastas and sauces, the tagliatelle hit a nice balance of creamy and zesty without swimming in its white wine lemon sauce. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal ended up being the dessert that Otto and Blue kindly offered as an anniversary gift. A scoop of vanilla bean gelato came adorned with a Biscoff cookie, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt. If salt and especially olive oil on ice cream seem vaguely blasphemous, don't knock it until you try it. Each bite was thoroughly delicious. It's a given that good food doesn't come cheap, but even so, Otto and Blue has no margin for error to justify what it charges. On food alone, it was close but not quite there. However, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I have no regrets about dining here.
