Redecorate to give off a desolate country style empty shack-like atmosphere where you can write on the walls. Serve a menu full of fun, creative and high caloric meals with adult beverage options. Make money. Repeat. My visit was a-ok. I was dining solo and seated at a booth hidden way in the corner of the restaurant instead of given the option of a better spot or even the bar. I could have asked to move, but didn't. Next time I'll say something. The Notorious B.N.G. (biscuits and gravy + eggs + bacon + hash browns) hit the spot. All party. No B.S. A note - I walked in with no wait on a late weekday morning, but please plan ahead when you visit. The restaurant will have a wait during weekends and other peak times.

We both got chicken and waffles and the waffle was amazing. The chicken was chewy and would've loved to taste some more flavor with it. Eggs were the same way, little hard to eat. The prices were a great highlight of this experience, as it's less than $20 per person which includes a complimentary cinnamon roll. My friend didn't eat all of hers because she said it was a little dry. Our waitress was exceptional and very friendly. She was quick to take our order and brought out our food and drinks quickly. Family-style service on point. No notes on service. Unfortunately, didn't snap any photos for this review because I was in a hurry. I wouldn't mind giving this place a second chance.

I just hustled over to the counter to order my drink and went to the library. Again, loved the drink and would have loved to have stayed. Sigh...this was a nice place for quiet evening options in the L.S. area, particularly for places that open until 9; however, they began hosting karaoke, open mic nights, and the like. Nice option, if this is your cup of tea, and understandable because they needed the business for the evenings. Kudos to them for getting more business this way. It appeals to the folks around here. Maybe, I'd find it appealing if a coffee shop had an open mic night for poetry and prose, sort of how the Beatniks did it in the late 50s to 60s, but that's just me.

It was nice so we sat on the patio. The brunch menu is small but packs a nice variety. I ordered the tater tot bowl minus bacon add chicken tinga. It was delicious. The tots were crispy, soft scramble egg, avocado, and cheesy goodness. My companion ordered the belly burger. She said it was delicious ious too. For apps we ordered the hummus. It was good. On a previous visit, I ordered the spicy peanut noodle bowl with shrimp and the dynamite shrimp app. Yum!! Both were loaded with flavor. Forgot to take a pic. From 10-11:30 on weeekends, mimosas are $1.99. What a deal!! And of course I had to try all the flavors! Cran-orange is my fav. They have a great happy hour, daily specials, kids menu, vegetarian menu and some gf options. I will definitely be back to try the pancakes and Nashville chicken Sammy. Shout out to Mike the manager and Rey my server my making my dining experiece so very lovely. This casual spot is ideal for families with small children, couples, groups and celebrations.

I…read moreappreciate the attempt of the restaurant trying to offer new foods but the flavors clashed. Cucumbers in rice vinegar as pickles for a hamburger? Biscuits with gravy mixed with chili seasoning and brined onions to top it off? The food is something you'd definitely need to be drunk to enjoy. Service was excruciatingly slow. We had to wait 20 minutes after we received the tab to even pay so we could finally leave. Half the time our server was in the back nowhere to be found. Lots of employees chit chatting at the hosts' desk by the front door though. Ambiance is trendy. House music playing and whatnot. Cool place to try once, but not interested in returning.

I could describe every experience with this restaurant but I'll leave you with the previous few. And I know what you're thinking, if the food was so bad, why do you keep going back? Well, hope and optimism. Rooting for Roots! We want the local place to succeed, but we've come to the conclusion that what they really need in order to improve, is honest feedback. But part of me hopes that it changes nothing. And here's why... my wife and I love this place. But in a weird way... allow me to explain, imagine the place as a Saturday Night Live sketch where the staff, the menu and ambiance are unapologetically pretentious, but the food doesn't deliver on any level. It's pure entertainment. We have dinner and an inside joke. First of all, for the price, you naturally expect elevated dishes and excellent service. We both had a cocktail, a glass of wine with dinner, an appetizer, entrees, salad and desert. Around $250 with tip. Pricey, but reasonable if the place delivers. On one visit we had the duck, which was served undercooked and when we mentioned it to the waiter, she scoffed, "that's the way it's supposed to be served." So feeling duly chastised for our ignorance, we shut up and ate the duck. I don't know the organism involved, but my wife and I were up all night vying for access to the bathroom. Enough said. Things were dicey, but no trips to the hospital. Six months or so had passed and finally, last night we rolled the dice and tried Roots again. My wife said her dinner was fine. She had stuffed salmon, adequate, but not great. For me, It was between the steak and the pork belly. Now I had the steak before once and it was... well it was definitely a steak. I'm not going to say much about it except for this... if you like the taste of a good glass of water, order the steak. So having experienced the steak already, I ordered the pork belly, which is an extremely tasty and forgiving cut of meat in my experience. But somehow at Roots, they figured out how to prepare it poorly. Yikes! It was dry as a bone, but only in the places where it wasn't tough as shoe leather. It had to have sounded like a rock when it hit the plate. The naturally rich flavor was cooked completely out of it, and any surviving seasonings were successfully burned away during the cremation process. I was starving so I made a valiant effort at finishing it, but it took several glasses of water and an inordinate amount of chewing. My wife laughed at me the whole time. I offered her a bite but she demurred, quipping that it had been a long week and she simply didn't have the energy. It was served with a "slaw" that consisted primarily of a plain sliced onion and slices of flavorless apple devoid of seasoning or dressing. I honestly don't know how this dish made it out of the kitchen, let alone a chef's imagination. It has become a quest for my wife and me. Like the holy grail of dining experiences, only a few minutes from our home. Ever the optimists, we will just keep trying Roots again every six months or so and hope for better on each trip... or not. If you're looking for a unique dining experience, please try Roots. We want them to succeed so we can keep coming back and having these comically terrible experiences. If pretentious irony is your spirit animal, please try roots. And Roots, please keep trying. We will keep spending $250 bucks for "dinner" and a show. PS, to add to your experience, ask for a booth when you arrive for your reservation, they will look you up and down and politely say "no" as they walk you past 4 empty booths. No explanation...
