We had lunch at Local Roots this afternoon as we were waiting on the rain to pass... I really…read morewanted to love this place. The atmosphere is cute - the menu is limited (1 burger, 3 sandwiches, 2 or 3 flatbreads and 2 salads). We ordered: 1 - the double cheeseburger, boring. Lots of meet but not much in the way of toppings. The pickle slice was nice. 2 - BLT, boring. Needs a sauce, even mayo. Would love to see palmetto cheese or avocado or cheddar. Spring mix is the wrong choice in lettuce as well. It turns into mush with the tomato. Nothing memorable. 3 - The Yardhouse, awkward. It was hard to eat with large chicken "cubes" and lots of white bbq sauce. Either keeping the chicken whole or using a shredded chicken would be better. 4 - Fries. 1 order would have been plenty to share among 3 people. They were the best part of the meal and came with a fry sauce. Another strike is that they don't brew their own tea. We're in the Deep South... some days the best thing we've got is fresh brewed tea at every turn. This was a nope... but on top of that the carbonation was "off" in the soda machine too. Good thing drinks are only $2.

3.5 stars. I had high hopes for this place. It's unfortunately underwhelming. The chicken and…read morepimento cheese sandwich, the yardbird, was lacking seasoning. The bread was great and crispy, but the rest of the sandwich was uninspired. You couldn't even taste the pimento cheese. The fries were okay but needed more salt. With so much competition in town, I was hoping there would be more levels of flavor. The restaurant is very clean, which is always a plus for me. I've heard good things about the salads. Maybe go for one of those.

If you've never had meat (or VEGGIES!) cooked on a BGE, it will change your life. This fact alone will bring me back to try other things. Before I get into the meal, my only real complaint was that they only had a soda machine and tea. I had brought my mother along, and she already had lunch and wanted just to sit and chat. As it was a very cold day she was gonna order a coffee and they don't offer anything hot! It's definitely an opportunity to expand here even if it was just so simple as putting a Keurig machine in the back. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It is served with grilled chicken in a grilled wrap and cheddar cheese. If there was a buffalo sauce, I didn't taste any. I was a little disappointed in the wrap. The flavor didn't really stand out as being cooked on the Big Green Egg. The cheese wasn't really melted, which can be a common problem with shredded cheddar cheese, but it also didn't really have the buffalo flavor that I was looking for in a buffalo chicken wrap (maybe it was a Toledo Ohio wrap I don't know just not spicy. ) It served with a side of ranch which I juiced up with some Cholula and that helped. I i'm not knocking the quality of the food because it was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations I had in my head based on the menu description. It also came with a side, which I chose the broccoli salad. This was nicely done with bacon, I believe some quinoa and the broccoli was chopped up nicely so you didn't have huge chunks. Also, it wasn't overly sauced so that would make it runny. Overall I give the property four out five stars. Also, the flavor of the whole meal was fine. Good size portion and good value for your money.

Staff were friendly and helpful while ordering. Food took a good while to come out; by the time it did, we took a few bites then had to pack it up since they were now beginning to closing. To eat: I decided to try their baked ziti (7/10) I felt like the portion was a little small for them to be an Italian/pizza place and it could've been more seasoned. Also got a side salad (5/10) nothing special and even after repeating what I wanted in the salad while ordering, it still didn't come out correct. Also tried a slice of cheesecake. I was really looking forward to a good hot dinner; unfortunately, I wasn't impressed at all. My overall rate of experience : 5.5/10

The adult grilled cheese is more along the lines of a toasted sub sandwich with melted cheese. Just call it a cheese sandwich. I actually forgot what kind of bisque I was having because there was barely any substance in it (besides the green onions that I asked to have removed). Even without much crab nor lobster, the base was very salty and unfortunately couldn't be saved by its flavor either.
