Rustic Roots is a restaurant in Bunn, NC. I liked that the ingredients were to be from local farmers. I had been looking forward to it all day and skipped lunch so I'd be hungry for dinner. My group was tightly seated at the high top table as they were saving the end seats for another group, that never came. The bar area is noisy. Service was slow and our table seemed forgotten. We were seated almost an hour before the orders were taken. Drink orders had been taken as we arrived thankfully. When the food started coming out, the plates were given to the wrong people. Since we all had seat numbers this shouldn't have happened. My filet was placed across the table at seat #3. I was #8. But those who ordered burgers were given the wrong burgers so they were either cooked wrong or had the wrong toppings or sides. It is possible the orders were entered wrong. I was skipped on iced tea refills when the others who ordered iced tea were given refills and even one to go. I ordered the filet mignon and a baked potato, something I order often. It was one of the dishes mentioned when going over the specials. When I cut into my filet, it was rare, not the medium I had ordered. Nobody checked on me to see if it was cooked properly usually, they ask you to cut into it and check. When the waitress finally came around, I mentioned it was undercooked. It was sent back but all they seemed to do was sear the top. I thought it was burnt when it came back out as the outside was darker but when I cut into it again it was just as rare as it was before. So I am wondering if they had just flipped the filet over and brought it back out. I'm not sure why the kitchen didn't wait to see if it was cooked properly that time. It seems they rushed it rather than cook it for an adequate time or to 145 degrees. So I sent it back again to get it cooked to how I ordered it. I'm not sure what happened as instead of cooking it, I was just told it was taken off the bill. I wanted what I ordered so I could eat it. What happened to it? The first time it was sent back on a plate but the second was in a to go box. So did it even make it back to the kitchen? I wasn't offered anything else to eat besides the side salad and baked potato. Both of those were fine. Steak is the easiest thing to cook properly as it is just so many minutes on each side, depending on how you want it cooked. But the kitchen staff here leaves a lot to be desired. They might do ok with the burgers and chicken tenders.

My Rating is a 4.5 Rustic Roots is a blend between fine dining without the fine price. Now, when it comes to the customer service from the greeter to the manager to the waitress, everyone did a phenomenal job accommodating us and making sure that everything runs smoothly. We slipped into a two-hour window and had five minutes to spare before 10 minutes to spare before the next reservation came. The customer service is a 10 out of 5. Do not go to this restaurant without getting a reservation. The easiest way to get a reservation is by going online. The second easiest way is calling in during operational hours. Now, the only reason that I'm giving this place 4.5 and not a 5 is because the decor is not appropriate for some all ages. The owners do have a sense of humor, but some decor is not necessary. We got that way: "Let's get good stuff." The story about this place is mind-blowing. For the owners to have a form to sell the blueberry crops to buy the restaurant, to find out that the restaurant was built by their grandfather, almost did a Fred Sanford. I'm coming to join you, honey, when I heard this story. The history of a place brings so much richness in value to how I got there. This is a testament that God is who He is. Deviled eggs: 12 out of 5 Juicy bread: 3.5 out of 5 Gnocchi: 10 out of 5 Burger: 4 out of 5 The flavor profile for the deviled eggs is amazing. The brisket is tender and the most balanced flavor profile out of all the items that we've had. It is unique and tasty because of the texture of the egg yolk and white with the brisket and green onions with barbecue sauce. It was literally out of this world. The hamburger they made it the way I like it. It tastes amazing without having to use condiments, which is always a good sign for a hamburger. You can taste the meat quality of the meat and not have the poor ketchup, salt, pepper, and everything that's on the table in the sandwich to make it pop. The Gnocchi. This dish almost made me take the shelf out for dinner and buy him beers. This dish was undescribably smooth, cheesy, savory, buttery, and Fuego. This is a dish that stops conversations. You're busy talking to your wife, your date, whomever, and you take a bite, and because the flavors are so loud, you can't hear them talking to you. This is the dish that you get upset that somebody else ordered it. Thankfully, my wife didn't finish the dish, and I got the opportunity to use that juicy bread to stop up that wonderful sauce. Defense to the order: my wife didn't finish it due to dietary disciplines. Did I mention juicy bread? I highly recommend that you buy or order something that the juicy bread comes with. Don't get me wrong. It tastes good, but when you are by yourself and you only get two pieces for six dollars, that ain't the move. So I recommend getting a dish that has juicy bread with it. You get more bang for your buck. The fries were the most underrated of everything that I ordered. They were crunchy outside, soft inside, seasoned well, and freshly cut and cooked in the restaurant! 5 of 5 Ask the waitress to customize your order, and they will accommodate you with all the problem-understanding staff. Outside of the things decor that they have to put on the wall, this place is family-friendly. Be aware that they do have a bar, but they have a bar at Applebee's and Red Lobster, so that's not that big of a deal. Outside of the decor that they have on the walls, this place is family-friendly.

10/10 restaurant - cozy atmosphere, great service, and the food was amazing. One of the best meals we've had in awhile

Filet medium rare and loaded baked potato

Melissa H.

Service: We had reservations for 7:45 on a Friday and were seated immediately. Host staff were friendly and our waitress was attentive yet not overbearing. She wasn't super personable but, for me, that's perfectly fine. Food: We started with the juicy bread and both ordered the filet with loaded baked potato and side salad. Juicy bread was good but not fantastic - brushed heavily with herb and garlic oil but toasted to an ideal crustiness. My filet was cooked perfectly to medium rare and topped with a herb compound butter. Salad was fresh and a good portion - ranch dressing was most likely homemade, which I appreciate. Baked potato wasn't the best but the loaded toppings were generous and masked the fact that it was a bit overcooked. I had the peach spicy honey margarita and my friend had the lavender lemon drop martini. The drinks were well-crafted and tasted amazing! We both had to have a second drink. Ambiance: The indoor portion of the restaurant is one big open area but it wasn't too noisy. Decor is rustic (imagine that) and it seemed to be kept very clean. Some folks mention the owners make their rounds and talk to patrons. I did not experience that, so maybe they were not there the evening we visited. All in all, this was worth the 30 min drive from Wake Forest & I will be back!

It's always cool to discover a gem, hidden away in an unexpected place. Let's face it - when you think about Bunn, you think it's a cute little town, well off the beaten path. But you really don't think about fine dining. Well, friends - think again! Rustic Roots offers a balanced farm-to-table menu, upscale rustic atmosphere and excellent service and the food - wow! It's an unassuming building, with a big rooster metal sculpture out front. The dining room is rectangular, with about a dozen tables and a large high-top for seating larger parties. Plus bar seating at the back left. We were greeted and seated immediately. First off, props to our outstanding server Jacquelyn. She's energetic, charming, funny, knowledgeable and professional. Her suggestions were spot on. She timed the meal perfectly and everything was served as-ordered. And she treated us as if she were a family friend. THANK YOU! Tried some Juicy Bread to start. 3 thick slices of crusty bread, slathered in oil and herbs. Juicy, indeed! And tasty. Also tried the burrata bruschetta. A big knot of creamy, rich burrata is served atop an oblong ramekin of home made bruschetta. Super fresh tomatoes, diced onions, fresh basil, olive oil. Plus a few slices of warm, crusty French bread and some shaved parmesan to top it off. MMMMMMM! Also tried the Caesar salad. It's a unique prep - individual leaves of romaine arranged like a flower on the plate, each leaf adorned with a squirt of homemade dressing and a few croutons. The dressing could have been a little tangy-er, but was still delicious. Steaks are a specialty, and so - steak it was! The ribeye is prepared exactly as ordered - medium rare. Lightly seasoned, fork tender and served with a dollop of garlic butter on top. Filet was similarly prepared, prepared exactly as ordered. Sides of a loaded baked potato and baked sweet potato were right-sized, tender, sweet and scrumptious. As we were eating, we saw a few of the desserts pass by enroute to other tables. 5 desserts on the menu, but one of them caught my eye - Brown Butter cake. The cake is served warm... rich, sweet, buttery, creamy and topped with brown sugar, drizzled with caramel, a dollop of whipped cream AND a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Needless to say we finished EVERY bite. It's worth it to drive to Bunn just for that cake. Check this place out - it's really really good!

A not so hidden treasure because this place was packed . I definitely recommend reservations. We were greeted & seated quickly. 1st time here & love the country ambiance . Everyone is friendly & attentive. I had the Mahi Mahi special & it was exceptional. The portions are more than adequate. I had to remember to save room for the dessert , which is a must !! Hot fudge devils food cake ! Yum !!! Already looking forward to coming back !

Brown butter addiction! This deliciousness alone is worth the drive!

Patrick I.

Remember when restaurants were run by owners who stopped by your table to see if everything was alright and the staff checked on you enough times that you weren't forced to tap the bottom of your drink glass to get the last bit of ice out?? Small in size, huge on customer service, THIS is a place you'll never regret waiting in line to get into.

We always enjoy our time here! Naomi behind the bar is very kind. Food is good as well, we enjoy getting the specials they have from time to time and the seasonal options they have for food and beverage.

Rich M.

Food is terrific, smaller menu, but they rotate items and get everything they offer just right. Dessert is fantastic as well. It's a nice ambiance, it's the closest thing to a ski lodge feel I think you can get in eastern Carolina, which I miss being from the north sometimes.

Janet C.

What an fantastic meal! We had the ribeye steak dinner that comes with salad and potato. The steak melts in your mouth and the sides were delicious. Desserts looked amazing but could not eat another bite. Everything is made from scratch. Our server, Jacquelyn, was terrific. Super upbeat, charming, and very attentive. Location is on the small side but full of country charm. Reservations are definitely required.

The food and atmosphere are consistently great here. If you like amazing drink options, friendly staff, and quality meals with quality ingredients, this place is a must. The cheese curds were beautifully fried and well seasoned and the salmon was seared to perfection and juicy in the middle. I will say that this is definitely not a restaurant to go to when in a rush - the few times I've been here, I waited well over 45 minutes for my entree. But I love their creative cocktail specials and ginger beer to hold me over during the delay. Rustic Roots is definitely worth going out of the way to visit. I will be back! read more

Diamond in the Rough Bunn, NC has a population of 327. It also has one of the best restaurants in the state. Rustic Roots certainly lives up to its name - gravel parking lot, cement floor and bucolic decor. The food - yummy. While the selection is somewhat limited, there is something for everyone. We sampled the Spaghetti Bolognese (meaty and nicely seasoned), Nancy's Tacos (made with real rib-eye and just enough Mexican flavors), Blackened Mahi Mahi (the special of the evening and it was indeed special) and the Beet and Strawberry Salad (tender baby beets topped with an amazing balsamic glaze). The wine list is minimal, but covers all the bases. The Pinot Noir was food-friendly and reasonably priced. Our server was as outstanding as the food - personable, engaging, knowledgeable and efficient. Rustic Roots is a little pricey, but, when you consider the quality of the cuisine and the exceptional dining experience, it's well worth the price of admission (and the lengthy drive). read more

Update from my previous experience... We visited Saturday night (1/28/23). The Love Potion drink from the bar was AMAZING! My husband was upset to find out the deviled eggs were off the menu, haha. But we got the tater skins again and of course, delish. You guys should sell your Ranch in stores by the way!! I got the salmon this time - the best salmon I've had in a long time. My husband's steak wasn't cooked all the way as he likes it, but he said it did have good flavor so he enjoyed it. His fries were VERY greasy and the waitress even noticed it and did not charge us for our dessert to compensate. I updated from 3 stars to 5 because of the service, the food, and the quickness of sitting down even thought we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. Great little place and they staff really takes care of you and appreciates your patronage. read more

This is a new restaurant for the area. This Farm to Table has a varied and delightful menu. Four of us had dinner. Every meal was great! The 1/2 chicken was delicious and baked to perfection. Fresh made pasta was great and the meatball was the largest I have ever seen and it was maoist and tasty! The hemp Caesar salad was much larger than expected and our hungry man could not finish it after an appetizer. The pork chop and succatash was wonderful and we will definitely get that again. The atmosphere was open with plenty of room. The servers were very attentive and the owners were happy to meet all of their customers. We will be regulars. read more

Went here on my birthday about a month ago, maybe the chef was having a bad night. Our server was fabulous and the reason i kept ruminating about doing a review. The good things: definitely great service from our server, great chocolate martini, salmon was great. I had the chicken dish that was swimming in sauce and just not good. I took a bite and set it aside. My server said I'll get the manager. The "manager" who actually is one of the owners came by and said, "Should I take that?". I said, "yes please." That was the end of that conversation. So, I had a taste of the steak my daughter and sister had - way too salty. I then had a taste of the salmon. That was cooked perfectly. Customer service by the server excellent (5 stars), customer service by the "manager" poor (0 star). As my mom used to say, I've been here twice, first and last. read more

I just had a wonderful culinary experience at Augustus Grill located in the River Golf Community…read more Before I share my experience with you, I want to make sure you get there. It is in the River Gulfing Community. Everyone has access to the restaurant. You do not have to belong to the River Gulfing Community to have access to the restaurant. Upon arriving in the River Community, you will see an entrance at the big brick wall. After entering through the big brick wall, immediately follow the signs of Augustas grill and River golf. Do not follow the yellow brick road as things can get complicated. The first sign is on your left. They are not noticeably big. Upon arriving Augusta's Grill prepares for a wonderful culinary experience. I arrived before the restaurant opened. No worries. I sat on an amazingly comfortable couch overlooking the beautiful golf course. Promptly at 11:30 when Augustus opened, sweet server Sarah greeted me and inquired if I wanted to dine in or out. I decided to dine out. Sarah effectively, efficiently, and energetically arrived back with the menu and took my drink order. I ordered a glass of sweet tea and Seeker's Malbec. She then took my order with a sweet, sizable smile. The Seeker's Malbec smell reminded me of Plumb and raspberry. The initial taste also had raspberry and plumb notes. The after taste finished with a long-lasting crisp plumb and raspberry encounter. Soon, Sarah arrived with the food and asked if I needed anything. She left and came back to inquire how everything tasted. Ms. Sarah followed all the steps of being a great server. I ordered the Pastrami Burger with fries. Have many napkins available as you devour this sizable burger. The hamburger was cooked perfectly. It had a nice grilled taste. I ordered cheesecake with jalapeno raspberry drizzle. I do not know why they call it jalapeno as I did not discover any jalapeno taste. Do not let the name scare you. I have three suggestions. One cannot get a small side Caesar salad. You can get a large Caesar salad. There is no coffee. A nice cup of coffee would greatly have paired with the cheesecake. There are no stemmed wine glasses. This is not good for wine connoisseurs. If you are looking for a beautiful culinary experience and excellent customer, go to Augustaus grill.

The spacious Deck is one of the best dining venues within miles. It's peaceful, scenic, bucolic and relaxing. Service is friendly and the dishes we have tried were well-prepared, innovative and delicious. The Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce ($21 with two sides) was as good as any I have had. The thick loin was pleasantly crunchy with a quick burst of tangy flavor. The inside was juicy, flaky and tender. The Roasted Mixed Vegetables were slightly undercooked, allowing the flavors of the Carrots, Cauliflower and Broccoli to stand out. The Potato Salad was OK, but I would have preferred something more zippy and zesty. The Chicken Salad Sandwich ($8.49 with one side) was smooth and creamy. The Toasted Multigrain Bread and Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing transformed this basic stand-by into something special. The Pasta Salad was a real winner. Unlike most bland pasta salads I have had, this one was nicely seasoned and brimming with flavor. We finished the evening with a generous slice of Cheesecake ($6) with a sweet but tangy Raspberry Jalapeño Sauce. Lunch with a grandson on the deck was a lot of fun for everybody. He had the Kids Meal ($6) which included a Hot Dog (he wanted it plain, of course), Bottle of Gatorade and Chips. We enjoyed the Pastrami Burger ($16.49 - with thin-sliced seared Pastrami, Cheddar Cheese, sliced Onion and Thousand Island Dressing) and the Hawaiian Burger ($14.49 - with grilled Pineapple, BBQ Sauce and Cheddar Cheese). The 1/3 pound burgers were served on a fresh Brioche Bun and included One Side. We can recommend either burger, but the one with Pastrami, was truly outstanding.

Rustic Roots is an absolute gem in Bunn, NC. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between cozy and refined. The thoughtful décor and friendly staff make it feel like a place you'll want to return to again and again. The food is truly exceptional, beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with care. Every dish tastes fresh and intentional, elevating familiar ingredients into something memorable. It's rare to find a spot where the quality is this consistent across the board. And the Brown Butter Cake... simply unbelievable. Rich, nutty, perfectly balanced, and served with just the right texture, it's easily one of the best desserts in the entire state. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything like it elsewhere. If you're anywhere near Bunn, make Rustic Roots a priority. This place delivers an experience worth savoring from start to finish. Highly recommended! read more

What an awesome restuarant! We have been there several times for dinner and always been impressed with the quality of the food, portions, how the menu changes for the season and farm fresh approach. The owners, Russ and Vanessa, are 3rd generation farmers and their approach to Farm Table is authentic. Throw in a relaxed and friendly seating area and attentive/personal staff and you will be very pleased with the experience. They have a variety of wine, beer and spirits and great desserts! We would recommend reservations as they are very popular. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Food quality is excellent although the price is too high! I can't believe they charge $6 for a cpl of pieces of bread. The service is good and bad. Our server was nice but WAY TOO ATTENTIVE! She was so over the top friendly it was irritating. We almost thought she was high or had been drinking. She really needed to tone it down. In an expensive restaurant I expect to be there for a cpl hours and enjoy the ambiance but not so here. We were in and out in 45 mins because they serve the food so fast. The whole feel was just wrong. Probably won't go back. read more
