We had a great dinner with excellent service. Unfortunately, there was a table of six that sounded like 18! Honestly, some folks clearly need to get their hearing checked! The food was great, and our server was delightful.

Our server, Debbie, was so great! She was very accommodating of our two blind friends who came with us and knew her stuff - customer service! All of us plan to return and try some more of the fantastic food. The fried green tomatoes are the best we’ve ever had!

I went here on a date with my new squeeze, expecting to find their scored flounder. It is no longer on the menu. Instead we opted for black bean burgers. They came served with a pickled okra on top and garlic aioli sauce. Pretty nice for a Sunday afternoon after churchNot much seating to be had. Mt advice. Get here early, unless you want to wait. This place was a popular choice at 12 noon on a Sunday.Vegetarian options: Yes black bean burger.Kid-friendliness: Yes.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

We officially added the root cellar to our go to list of restaurants. We had a great experience and Debbie was the ultimate kind server. Upgraded rating to 5 :)

This is one of my favorite spots for a burger. You can actually get a medium rare patty! The collards make a good side dish. The Southern Egg Rolls are a good appetizer with their homemade bbq sauce.

Average at best. Not impressed. OK food, but service, atmosphere and seating less than what I expected.

Pretty good food though going during peak hours can be tricky. If you got some time off on the early week after a lunch rush you might have the place to yourself and get to try any number of delicious meals at fairly reasonable prices. Cute decor and good service. Will be back
