   This was our thrid visit to Root &Bone and we have been pleasantly pleased each time. On this visit we had a very thoughtful and attentive server, as we have each time. The menu selection was good, the temperature and noise level were comfortable, and dining room and bathrooms clean. There were six in our party and all but one was very pleased with their food. My husband’s ribeye was just okay, not great, but my duck breast was fantastic, as were the fried green tomatoes appetizer. My only disappointment was that all the cocktails were all sweet, I always enjoy a savory cocktail choice so I stuck with a beer. Although the location is not the best for is, we will be back.

   The restaurant was beautiful inside and the service was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately though the food was not good. For the price I was really disappointed. The food lacked flavor and seasoning and the meats seemed undercooked. We had high hopes from it being affiliated with such great chefs, but we would not come back based on this experience.

   The service was great! The dessert was delicious. The hanging pots of obvious artificial white flowers were tacky. The price for sides was over priced and should have been included in the price of the entrée. The food was presented nicely but was not better than anyplace else. Over all , way too expensive especially when served by jean-clad wait staff. Not a place we'd be likely to come back to.

   Service was very good. Drinks were tasty and all our dishes were great. 2 of our party had the fried chicken, crispy flavorful skin and moist meat. 2 had the brisket meatloaf and loved it, sides included the corn, carrots and Mac and cheese, all great. Will be back for sure

   Had biscuits, meatloaf, brick chicken, fried chicken sandwich, fried pickles, grits, and three signature cocktails. All delicious. Scott was a great server.

   We loved everything we ordered and are planning to come back in the future to try more of the delicious, inventive menu. We ordered and recommend: r&b chicken biscuits, shrimp & grits, brisket "meatloaf," and chocolate pecan cobbler. FYI the drinks are intense, either because of the alcohol in them or the additional ingredients. We ordered: r&b old fashioned, old ronny z, watermelon crisp, and curly lime sour.

    Dined here with my wife because we had heard from others that the food and the service was very good, and many of the reviews were positive as well. I can confirm that the service was very good. Sara was timely, knowledgeable and friendly. The appetizers and salads were also good but the main course entrees were disappointing, particularly the rib-eye steak that I ordered. This was by far the worst rib-eye that I have ever tried to eat. The quality of the meat was absolutely terrible. It was cooked medium rare per my order but it was extremely difficult to cut, and even harder to chew and eat. Needless to say, my dog will have something extra in her food bowl for the next few days as she will be eating about 85% of the steak that I was served. Maybe the rest of their entrees are good, but whatever you do, don't order the rib-eye steak. All in all, it's a 2 star restaurant that charges 5 star prices. We will not be returning.
