Service is top notch. Someone will greet you immediately and help answer any questions. I love their options!

We were in Kernersville running some errands and had just gotten some pastries from a local place and some coffee from another (see other reviews). In a cute little brick center off Main Street, you will find this quaint shop that has a lot to offer. We weren't really looking for it, but more or less stumbled upon it, which in life sometimes will turn up the best surprises. When we entered, we were greeted by Anne, who told us all about the shop and that they have prepared meals done by a local chef with locally sourced ingredients. All of that sounded really great and we love to support businesses that adhere to locally sourced and support other businesses. While walking around the shop, I noticed that they had all kinds of gourmet-based items, like salts and seasonings. We picked up some squid ink pasta that my son would cook that night and also a few different local garlic bulbs that turned out to be a real hit when he cooked that pasta. Anne pointed out that there were a great many items that either were locally sourced or imported based on the type of item. She was a gem of warmth and information, and we appreciated the time she took to talk with us. I think this is a place that a great many different types of customers could find very interesting. With excellent service like Anne's, I enjoyed my time there.

Really cool gourmet specialty food shop in this adorable part of kernersville. It was a treat to walk in here today and be greeted by Anne. She was so knowledgeable of all the products and it's just so sweet and kind. Very easy to talk to her. They have ready made gourmet food from stuffed pasta to specialty soups. She gave the good idea that you can purchase these maybe for someone if you don't feel like cooking and you want to drop off a meal that is special. They even had local special grown garlic you can buy, even spicy garlic which I never heard of. I purchased a few and look forward to cooking up. I even bought Black ink squid pasta since I've never had it in my life and I've just seen it in cooking shows. There were also pimento cheese dips that they're known for, and specialty jams. It's definitely worth coming in here.

TikTok carrot salad, where have you been all of my life? So flavorful and crisp! Just the right amount of cilantro.

Great little spot for wine and lovely prepared food. I recommend the layered salad! The wine samples are a really nice touch.

Love this little market. I asked for a quick tutorial since I had never been here and they were…read moresuppose to close in 20 minutes. The very nice man assured me that they would stay as long as I needed them to. He then explained ed that everything in the store was North Carolina made. They have a good variety that includes soaps and lotions, snacks, sodas, etc. They cut their own meats, and they have some of the best fudge you have ever eaten. They give samples too. Peanut butter fudge won me over and I had to have walnut too. The salted carmel cookies at the checkout were a last minute add on and they are totally worth the price. Salty, sweet, crunchy and chewy pieces too. So delicious. The Pimento cheese was a must have and we ate most of it with crackers as soon as I got home.i should have bought the biggest container they had. I'm looking forward to the ground sausage and link sausage and country ham on some biscuits. They have pasta made by The Past Wench. I'm excited to try that also. I bought the Spinach tomato and the cracked black pepper. I'll go back for the wild mushroom pasta. Just too many fantastic options to choose from. They were so welcoming and it's just a little market like my Mom use to take us to growing up so I felt right at home. I'll be stopping in every chance I get.

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.

I was totally unaware of its existence if not for a friend who told me about it. It was Thursday and I was informed that wine was half price at their little bar area so I came in to see what the place was all about and have a wine. When you walk in the first thing that you see is the refrigerators with all the take and bake foods and sundry groceries that you can purchase. As you get further into the store, you see the little bar where you can order wine, beer, or coffee drinks, as well as a small smattering of tables and chairs to enjoy your beverage of choice. I met some new people while I was there which made me feel very welcome and it is a place that I will want to frequent when I'm in the area. There are many specials going on at this little store and bar. I believe on Wednesdays. They have a special on beer prices to go or to drink there in the little café and there are other specials most days. Be sure to stop in and check the little store out and if you're looking for a full meal, all you have to do is walk around the corner and visit the diamondback grill or buy one of the takeout dinners in Buie's refrigerators. Win, win!

We love Buie's especially on a Wednesday night when beers are 1/2 price! Great staff and fun…read morelocation. Great for both human kiddos and the doggies. They also periodically do Sunday Funday with different themes and vendors to go with! Such a local neighborhood vibe.
