An incredible experience- highly recommend the cornbread, deviled eggs, halibut, and lamb pasta, but I can assure you there are no bad options on the menu. The service was exceptional and warm- wish we lived closer so we could experience this on the regular. Thank you Roots Southern Table for a memorable dinner that we will be talking about for years to come!

Very nice spot. Johnny, the owner was very nice and made sure we were taken care of. The food was good. The drink Coco Loso amazing. My friend had the Floridian and she was lit and she said it tasted very good. I forgot what other drink my friend had but she said it was good too. My friend had the oxtails and I took a bite and they were amazing. I had the breakfast platter, which was pretty good. The French toast was a bit mushy. The bacon was superb and cooked to perfection. My friend had shrimp and grits and unfortunately shrimp was a little tough, and it was remade and it was good too. The light show and DJ were on point and I do plan on returning.

This is my third visit to TLC and I love it every time. Lots of delicious options! Also, it’s a scratch kitchen so you can give them a list if sensitivities or allergies when you order and feel comfortable with what’s served.
