Bar indicating a few of the tvs
Suzanne K.

I received an email from Roots stating every night specials. Tonight was a $6.00 burger and $4.00 pint When we walked in, we were handed a bucket of popcorn and shown to our table. The popcorn was good. Like fresh popped without too much salt We were greeted within minutes by our server, George. Definitely an asset to the business. Our friend asked if was old enough to work there Without a second thought he explained that he has been working every job in the restaurant since he was 13. In Indiana you can serve food but not adult beverages. He explained that he had washed dishes, cooked, etc. Did anything he was asked to do He was efficient with our order and really added to our dining experience as we enjoyed teasing him and his response. I had to express proudness of him as I had also worked as a young person Our burgers were awesome. Cooked to perfection, bun was grilled to with the roots brand seared on top. Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and secret sauce. My husband asked what was in it and George replied that it would not be a secret if he told but he could serve it on the side The draft beer menu was about 20 different types and brand. I asked for a taste and was given a juice glass full. The beer was really cold. They had a list of about 12 different beers on tap. Bar atmosphere, lots of tv's and just a fun place Will we go back, you betcha. Will we ask for George as our waiter you betcha

Southern Pride
Adam G.

I was a huge fan of Scotty's Brewhouse (IYKYK), so have been anxiously waiting to try Roots for quite some time. The menu is HUGE. I'm a sucker for pimento cheese so anytime that's available I gravitate towards it. That said, I tried the 'Southern Pride' burger (two patties), which comes with pimento cheese, bacon, secret sauce, tomato jam, and a side of fries. The burger was delicious and the fries were crunchy. Quite messy and greasy, but definitely tasty. Overall, I'd definitely come back!

Dill Chips
Jan N.

Our visit to Roots this time was less than stellar. First we ordered dill chips, they were stellar. However, the rest wasn't. Steak tacos were on special. We ordered them and discovered the menu neglected to mention they were smothered in blue cheese and horseradish. The waiter neglected to mention it as well. We also ordered a fish sandwich and tots with tartar sauce. Tots tasted of salt and the tartar sauce was mostly mayo. Waiter exchanged the tacos for a jalapeño burger, which wasn't all that great. Normally the food and service has been top notch. This time it was lacking. I doubt we'll return.

Pimento Tots
Rebecca K.

Was in the area and met up with a friend here. Went into the restaurant and people were friendly but they were a lil awkward since they were looking like this was their first job. The workers at the counter seemed to be high schoolers who would have rather not been working (idk maybe it's just the gen z or younger vibe going on). Whoever took us to our table didn't give us enough menus. Beer list isn't readily available along with which specials which is annoying as a consumer. We ordered the tots and it had a tiny hair in it but we didn't mention anything to the server bc I didn't think it was the end of the world but eh gross. Sydney, our server, was nice. However, we never got any side plates, so we just ate out of the dish.

Menu 6/25
Katherine A.

Roots was an unexpected treat. We got in easily on a busy Friday night. There were six of us including two kids. They have an awesome kids menu. Drinks games out quickly and I had a delicious vodka tonic. The servers are mostly young college students that are attentive. They are unusually well staffed. Our server was very friendly. The menu specializes in a version of smash burgers. There is a good selection of healthy options as well. The food took awhile to come out, but reasonable as they were busy. The kids were able to color with complementary supplies. I had the All American burger with a single patty. The burger had a great smoke flavor with lots of lettuce and sauce. The generous helping of fries was perfectly crispy. This was a delicious meal. My husband had to e tenderloin which he said was perfectly seasoned. The kids ate their grilled cheese and fruit but were most excited about the ice cream dessert that followed. The dining room is decorated with historic and current local photos of Carmel. There is a popular outdoor door patio, but we ate inside. The noise level was pretty loud inside with people excited by the weekend. There was high energy all around. The parking lot was actually tight, but we did find parking. I look forward to returning. Roots is a great family friendly neighborhood pub.

Wise All-American Single Burger
Adagio L.

Stopped by for lunch with some pals, and loved this place! The food was fresh, the service was great. The only thing we didn't like was the Thanksgiving Burger & Mac and Cheese- the turkey patty is very gross tasting, and the Mac and cheese is just plain awful. Please consider changing that recipe because it's terrible. Restaurant was clean and had cute decor. Would definitely come back for anything except for the Mac and cheese.

Garlic Cheeseburger
Katherine C.

I had high expectations for this place after I heard it was owned by the same guy who owed Scotty's. Unfortunately, it wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped. The place is really cute, menu is great, but the garlic cheeseburger I got was not very exciting. It just didn't have too much to it, especially for a garlic cheeseburger. Service was good, but our waitress forgot things left and right and we had to keep asking for stuff. We had to ask for drink refills, the side of ranch we asked for upon ordering, then a second time since we both asked for it and she only brought mine. Might be back, but wouldn't be my first choice for a burger.

Burger with seasoned fries
Jamie D.

Still looking for the first experience we had here and it's still lacking. We chose to sit at the bar today. We watched the bartender leave popcorn pails out that past customers had eaten out and I felt bad because the new people just shoved their hands in. We both got the burger special, 1 with seasoned fries and 1 with onion rings. The onion rings were horrible, I don't know if the oil is bad but they had a burnt flavor and I couldn't eat them. My husband said to send them back but I was done by then. The burgers were good which is what saved the night for us.

PB and PB & J
Jennifer M.

My friend and I drove an hour from Lafayette to try Roots. I was looking forward to the PB and J with onion rings. After we ordered the waitress came back to say they were out of onion rings. I generally don't like fries or tater tots but tried the fries and was so disappointed. The burger itself was really good but the bacon was slightly chewy. My friend got a side of the tomato and cucumber salad and said it had no flavor. Because the burger itself was so good I would give it another chance if they had onion rings.

The place was busy (pro tip: make a reservation) but the vibe was perfect.. dim lighting, cozy atmosphere, and great people watching from our corner booth. Honestly, half the fun was watching plates go by and trying to guess what everyone ordered. lol Jess was our waitress and she was amazing from the moment we sat down! Friendly, attentive, and just the right amount of checking in. I kicked things off with a lemon drop (10/10 choice), and we ordered the dynamite shrimp appetizer, which lived up to its name. Delicious with a little kick. Then came the big decision: shrimp scampi or chicken parm. The mashed potatoes tipped the scales because the craving was real. Chicken parm was crispy, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot. And yes, the mashed potatoes delivered. No regrets. But I WILL be back for that shrimp scampi because now I need to know! Also... the portions? Generous. Prepare for leftovers or prepare to loosen your pants a notch. We were told we HAD to try the honey butter croissants, and wow... the hype is real. Light, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness. We showed serious self control by ordering just one. During lunch we also met Maddie, another server, and ended up chatting about food and her menu favorites like we'd known her forever. Love when a place feels welcoming like that! For dessert we were hoping for the brownie (RIP to that menu item apparently), so we went with the warm chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream, which was still a win. Then the manager, Rachel, stopped by to introduce herself and after hearing it was our first time, surprised us with cheesecake on the house. Safe to say they know how to make a first impression! Between the food, the service, and the cozy vibe, this place made us feel like regulars already. Charleston's, we'll definitely be back!

The BBQ poutine fries were so big on the tray that I felt a little ostentatious as I was carrying the tray back to my table. It felt like all of the food on my tray surely should have been going to a family. But no: All of these BBQ poutine fries were just for one gluttonous person (me). Every so often, I would get an enormous fry that was way bigger than the others. It was more like a steak fry! It was like a little baked potato. It was nice to have that variety in the appetizer (which I was treating like an entree because, again, I was eating this giant appetizer by myself without shame). One of my children opted to get the kids meal here, which is the mac & cheese with a side (he chose fries). The mac & cheese is cavatappi pasta, so it's that pleasing curly texture that kids love (my kid loved it). The Den by FoxGardin is located inside Sun King Food Hall, and it's one of the food options you have here. If you are looking for pub food, comfort food, or just plain good food, you can't go wrong with this place.

Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness.

That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Even if you don't like cooked carrots (which I don't!) they are sooooo good and there's no other way to describe it. You just have to try it yourself. After the carrots, we thought it would be hard for the rest of the dishes to live up to that but our daily soup (always vegan) was so yummy!

It included rice cake which was interesting. I appreciated the charred/crispy texture with the chewy inside. I wouldn't order it again but if you like textured, spicy dishes you might enjoy it. Luke offered to get us something else but we were already full, so we declined. He also gave me a complimentary blueberry sorbet which was delicious and sooo fresh, and wished me a happy birthday! It was very delicious and necessary to rinse the palate. We had a great time and can't wait to come back when the patio opens up - we loved their mission to assist with providing job opportunities for autistic adults, too. It's a great restaurant with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere and phenomenal service.

When I go inside to pick-up, I'm sent to an area near a door and a carry-out sign. Often times, there is nobody manning this "station", so I've stood there hoping that someone would ask me if I've been helped. Years ago, the bar handled to-go orders, and this was a much smoother process. I've dined in a few times and the service, and our experiences were just okay. The bar is generally kept very dimly lit, and the main dining room feels quite bright in contrast. The decor, or lack thereof, is blah. I maintain, however, that the chicken tenders are still the bee's knees!
