Hate group that wants to promote the genocide of those allergic to corn which then includes gluten and soy. No options for some people to eat. Vegan restaurants should be banned since they believe their ideology can feed everyone when in fact it’s a discriminatory group that doesn’t feel everyone should get to eat.

The interior and exterior areas are very comfortable. At the dinner hour they have table service a nice upgrade. The food is local, natural and great! I have now had breakfast, lunch and dinner here at various times. The folks here are helpful and enthusiastic. They have plenty of seating in and outside. If you’re considering lunch be prepared for 15+ minutes in line to order.Parking: The parking lot size is adequate for the dining area size. But it's worth it.

Not the same Root Cafe as it used to be.I was an avid fan of this restaurant, it was essentially my favorite restaurant in Little Rock. My wife and I and our daughter went there recently for dinner and were pretty disappointed. I ordered the hot chicken which was a $19 plate and she ordered the meat loaf which was about $20. We were both disappointed in the portions. For $19 I expected more than two small chicken tenders on top of a spoonful of greens and a gelatinous rectangle of macaroni & cheese. My wife had a similar experience with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. They even looked small in the plates.Last time I’d ordered the hot chicken it felt like I was getting what I was paying for. But honestly I could’ve been happier with getting Popeye’s or some other chicken place.I also ordered the bread pudding and they’ve changed the recipe of that to something that did not resemble their usual bread pudding but rather it was some other concoction with melted butter all over it (rather than the icing they used to put on it).The service was fine but it felt like they were trying to entertain me and it just felt weird and off (almost like they were compensating for the food).I won’t be returning to this restaurant and it feels like a trend I’m seeing now with most local places now where a meal is not worth what you’re paying. If this is what supporting local restaurants means, then I’m going to find someone else that makes it worth supporting.

I was extremely concerned….We got the Egg Salad and the Original Brat- they were awesome.Then we shared a carrot cake and bread pudding.You know if you love your fellow man sometimes you just have to take one for the Team- I am such a giver- I have decided to save everyone else- I asked them to give the rest of the carrot cake and bread pudding to me!!!!!A great place to eat and chill.V/RDr Charles Thompson

Fantastic house burger, with equally fantastic side salad. Salad dressing was so great that we wanted to see if they sold it and we were happy to find they bottle and sell it! Sparkling lavender lemonade was more sour than sweet which is actually my preference. Combo fry basket was plenty for 2 people and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Very glad we got to try this place on our way through town!
