    Michael was a great waiter. Noise level a bit high, but food was pretty good, reasonably priced. Interesting brunch menu with an Easter special. Had biscuits and gravy, bacon maple French toast. Bacon a bit too fatty for me. Hub said his B&G were good, but not as good as he makes at home.

    Ribs and mac/cheese were outstanding. The Chicken & Biscuits were disappointing this time. The chicken was dry and tough. The Ricotta Ravioli had a very intense lemon flavor - no mention of lemon in the description so it was an unwelcome surprise. Michael H was our server and he was terrific. Knowledgeable, good pace and kept our water glasses filled. Would ask to be in his section again.

    Been a few times and this spot doesn’t miss! Started with the biscuits, split the chicken and ribs with Mac and cheese and fries! We shared all of this between 5 people and still had leftovers! Ended with some amazing dessert! Highly recommended.

    The food was disappointing. Really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn’t great, especially for the price.

    We had a really nice dinner with Root & Bone last night. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly with suggestions for us throughout our dinner. Food was delicious. Ambience was warm and friendly without any pretense. Would definitely recommend Root & Bone to friends and family!
