    First time visit. Everyone from reception to waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely wonderful. Happy hour was on when we got there; half off whiskey and whiskey cocktails. My wife saw the first listing and didn't have to look and farther: Ziggy Stardust Old Fashioned. She had 2 and loved them. We had the Gooey Sweet Corn Souffle to start, then moved on to the Fried Chicken, which we ordered the Heirloom Carrots and Grits as accompaniments. Last we had Banana Pudding Creme Brulee. The entire meal was fantastic. We took home half the chicken and sides. The price for the carrots and grits was a little high, especially when it was probably about 1.5 accompaniments carrots, but they were still worth it. Can't wait to come back!

    Back dining room by kitchen was loud and cold. All the yummy spices on trout were placed on the skin and not the meat. Meat loaf was warm, not hot. Corn soufflé was the high light of the meal.

    We had a great time at Root & Bone....Chicken and Biscuits are always good as was the Ribeye. Server was just "right" very attentive but not overbearing. Ambience was exceptional

    Another excellent meal at Root and Bone! The fried chicken and a side of waffles were so delicious! My husband loved his ribeye and said it was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed a wonderful summer squash appetizer which “tasted like fall” as well as the brownie skillet dessert! Amazing ambience, service and food! We will be back soon!

    We had a very good experience before but this visit fell short. The trout was served skin side up with all the prep appearing on that side. The other side was mostly bland and tasteless. The broccoli side dish was barely warm enough, tough, and uninspired. Dinner salad and grits were very good. The staff were outstanding but with the food shortcomings, it will sadly cause us to look elsewhere.

    Menu is extensive with so many yummy choices. Fried chicken was excellent as well as the fried green tomatoes, the corn soufflé and the Mac & Cheese. My banana bread crème brûlée was absolutely delicious. More importantly, the staff was very courteous and super friendly. Definitely going back.

    While the food was good, some of the presentation was left to be desired. It wasn’t indicative of James Beard nominated chefs.
