Had to kill some time in Lexington and decided to give them a try. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We explained we would be there several hours. Or waitress was very patient and kept checking back. My wife had the Filet and Baked Potato, I had the Fried Chicken. Both were excellent. Will definitely be back.

Server: Rebekah Time: 8:18pm The drinks are pretty good. I had Water and a sweet tea. The atmosphere is very good and spacious. The southern egg rolls definitely have an interesting taste. It a mix of different flavors and tastes very bold. If you like strong with some spice flavors, you might enjoy these. I got the buttermilk chicken with sweet potato casserole along macaroni and cheese. It was very delicious. By myself, I paid $34 by myself but added a tip which up to $42. The staff were friendly also. Thank you for taking time to read my review.

Loaded baked potato

Very DISAPPOINTED with my to go order today. I have eaten inside this establishment as well as placing to go orders multiple times. As you can see by the pictures provided, the grilled pimento cheese sandwich was soggy and there was barely a layer of pimento cheese spread on the bread. The soup was only filled to a 1/4 of a cup in the container and the loaded baked potato was the smallest potato I've ever seen. The potato didn't include all the loaded ingredients and was brown and mushy when cut open. The only edible item I received was the Mac n' cheese but it was bland. I will not be visiting or ordering out at this establishment again. DO BETTER!

Went for lunch and was seated right away. Service was very good, our waitress came around often and was prompt. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich and onion rings, my wife had the pimiento cheeseburger and fries. Sides were solid, hot honey chicken was seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly, but I would have liked a little more hot honey drizzled. My wife loved the pimiento burger. Prices were fine, about as expensive as everything else in the world these days. We'll be back for dinner someday!

Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Casserole

The place is super cute. It's not a huge place. The menu has a decent amount of options. However, the food was just okay. I wasn't impressed. The service was good. They were super friendly. We got the deviled eggs, which weren't very tasty, and the southern egg rolls, which were decent. I got the hot honey fried chicken sandwich. It wasn't very hot at all, in my opinion. I felt like it was mostly breading. However, the sweet potato casserole was absolutely amazing! I don't feel like we will go back. However, it was decent.

My family and I decided to try The Root Cellar on a Sunday approx. 1130 am, they were not busy during this time. Our waitress was Donna, she explained everything and gave us the history about the restaurant. She was a very good waitress I could tell she enjoyed her job! She explained that most of the food was bought from a local farm, I really enjoy farm to table concept. The inside décor is really nice and sets the farm like tone. Our food came out in a timely manner, everything was seasoned and tasted delicious. All our food was fresh tasting, we could tell the fish wasn't frozen fillets. We all enjoyed our entrees and will most definitely return in the near future. The only regret is not checking them out sooner.
