    Our waiter was so nice and helped us order. The Fried chicken and short Ribs were delicious, we will be going back to try the waffles.

    Meals were delicious and Drew was awesome! We love this place and have been here several times since we discovered it. Will not say another 9pm reservation though. Staff began cleaning for the night and it was obvious they were ready for us to go.

    Excellent food. Robert, the general manager, was extremely attentive making certain we had a good experience. Root & Bone is on our regular rotation for Sunday brunch.

    Great food and staff. The sweet tea brined chicken is the best chicken dish I’ve had. Growing up in the South it’s nice to see really good grits on the menu!

    Always have a great meal here. Love their deviled egg appetizer! Fried chicken is fabulous as well. We were in on a Tuesday night- business was slow and initially service was great but our waitress kind of disappeared at the end of our meal and we had to track her down to get our check.

    Fabulous food and service! Haven’t enjoyed a meal this good in quite some time. Shrimp and grits were fantastic, homemade biscuits and jam are a must, and cocktails were refreshing. Riley and the bartender were awesome!!
