Southern Roots

Southern Roots has been a favorite of ours for years. Every dish is consistently delicious! Expect a little bit of a wait on the weekends, especially if it is cold outside but it's worth it! Once the weather warms up a little, they have a good number of tables on the patio. They have a nice online waitlist that allows you to keep track of your place if you decide to run next door to Potent Potables or grab a drink at their bar while you wait. Their menu has a decent selection ranging from apps, sandwiches, and pizzas to upscale entrees. It can be difficult narrow it down if you are hungry because it is all so good! Some of my regular favorites are the fried green tomatoes, salad pizza, Thai fried shrimp, the Billy Bob sandwich, and the Cajun Catfish. Last night my husband picked one of the specials: country fried steak with gravy, fried brussels with a sweet chili glaze, and green beans. I went with my usual Cajun Catfish with collards and mashed potatoes. The fish was a nicely sized portion with 2 filets that were light, flaky, and perfectly fried. His dish was the winner of the evening. You could put that gravy on anything! The service is always top notch. Even with bit of a wait, we were in and out in an hour and a half. I'm already thinking about getting those crispy brussel sprouts next time.

Came to High Point on a February early to beat the snow for a class in the morning and decided to Yelp a place for lunch and found Southern Roots in Jamestown! Aja was my server and she was very welcoming and friendly. She told me about the special and helped me decide on the seafood risotto for my entree. The restaurant is in a renovated building on Main Street and the entrance is off the back of the building where there is ample parking. The dining room is bright with, as you might guess, southern decor!I am sipping on my second Arnold Palmer waiting for my main course to arrive...And there it is..... I enjoyed the seafood risotto on a cold day while I watched the snow fall! It had shrimp, a scallop and mushrooms. The cornbread with the sweet butter added to the meal. It was the kind of comforting meal that is appreciated on a cold day. I will keep SR on my radar, especially since the training I drove to HP to attend was cancelled due to the snow. I recommend Southern Roots to anyone looking for a great meal, and hospitable service in a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks!

Southern Roots in Jamestown is a gem that blends Southern charm with incredible culinary experiences! From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic meal.The menu is packed with a variety of options that cater to every palate, but the Pimento Cheese Fritters are an absolute must-try--crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and served with a perfectly tangy dipping sauce. For mains, the Shrimp and Grits is a standout, with creamy grits and perfectly seasoned shrimp that hit all the right notes.The drink menu is equally impressive, with a great selection of craft beers, wines, and creative cocktails. The Southern Belle Martini pairs wonderfully with their dishes and is a treat on its own.To top it all off, the service is impeccable--attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Whether you're here for date night, a family dinner, or a casual outing, Southern Roots delivers on all fronts.Highly recommend stopping by to experience it for yourself!

Southern roots has been a go to for me for date night and girls night out for over a decade! If I want co distantly delicious food and service, I know this is where to do. I've been obsessed with their pulled pork quesadilla and cornbread for as long as I can remember. I'd love to try other apps but I just can't because these two are so good. It was my first time trying steak and I have to say it was seasoned and cooked to utter perfection. My go to sides are always grits and okra and you can't convince me to get anything else. Just so so good. The only thing is they don't take reservations so make sure you either get there early or be prepared to wait, but it's worth it!

I love any opportunity to eat at Southern Roots. The bar and patio are always bustling and it's a wonderful upscale neighborhood spot suited for any occasion from a quick bite at the bar, meeting up with friends for outdoor dining and live music or a date night. The food is always good, whether it's shrimp tacos or a seasonal specials sourced from local ingredients. Service tends to be on the slower side, especially from the bar, so just be prepared to enjoy and don't wait until your drink is done to order another round!

Anniversary time.. This continues to be our favorite restaurant based on the quality of food. I like to eat and I like to cook but I can only cook to a certain level and places like this are the apex of good dining. I had the lunch catfish with eggplant fries and okra. My wife had the Seafood risotto. We got Chocolate pie to go. We sat outside on this balmy November afternoon and got Great service. Cozy inside as well.

Delicious fresh innovative Attentive serviceNice outdoor seating area I've had Southern Roots on my High Point collection for a long time. I'm not in that area much but I was having lunch with my mom one day and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try something that was new to both of us. It was prime lunch time when we arrived but it was a beautiful day so we opted to sit on the patio. It was a lovely area and I highly recommend sitting out there if you go and the weather is nice. Nothing wrong with the inside but eating outdoors just makes it feel more special and adds to the whole experience. My mom mentioned wanting a salad and Southern Roots had a lot of unique options. My mom ordered the petite size Southern Organic Salad and added chicken. After trying to decide between all the delicious options our server helped me decide and I ordered The Hill sandwich with a side of Sweet Potato fries. Our server was very friendly, attentive and kept our drinks filled and in no time our food was served. Both our meals looked delicious and one bite in we were both so happy we took the time to drive 30 min to come. Portions were very generous and my mom was happy she got the petite size salad I was only able to finish 1/2 my sandwich and I shared 1/2 my sweet potato fries with my mom too! We were stuffed with we left. I plan to come again for sure! It was so good and I definitely want to try so many other items on the menu. This will be the place I recommend to people looking for a great place in the High Point area.

This is my first time going here, and I hope to go there again to get a better idea of what is offered. We made reservations for Valentine's day which was SUCH a good idea because this place was PACKED. Our waitress was incredibly kind and although she was so busy and I could see she was stressed she kept a smile on her face and made sure we were taken care of. First, we ordered the Rosemary Bread which I found to be PHENOMENAL. We ordered half a loaf and I couldn't stop eating it. I also ordered a Cheery RP which is a seasonal cocktail, I enjoyed it, very heavy on the orange flavor. My girlfriend and I both ordered the Cajun Catfish which was served with a spiced tartar sauce. I would rate that dish itself a 4/5. My problems came with my sides. I ordered the brussels sprouts which I don't know if they were meant to come out as crispy as they did? I just know I was not a fan. It was like the texture of dried seaweed that you'd eat. My sweet potatoes fries were also burnt. My girlfriend's sides came out well though, she really enjoyed her collards and her eggplant fries came out perfect. Because it was so busy it was very loud, but I enjoy the atmosphere of people gathering and talking, they also had an outdoor seating area. I am giving 3 stars because I was a little off put by my sides, but I want to come back to try again

Had a bit of a wait when we arrived but that gave us time to enjoy drinks at the bar. My favorite was the lemon drop martini! Seating area around the bar is a bit cramped but I feel like when it's warmer outside that wouldn't be a big issue. Restaurant is very clean and loved the overall vibe and feel of the place! Our waiter was so kind and helpful!Food was so good! I started with a Caesar salad that was delicious with the addition of 2 warmed grape tomato's sliced in half (so good I forgot the pic!). The cast iron steak was perfectly cooked and I loved the blue cheese butter. The potatoes were creamy and perfectly complimented the steak.I feel that you get a lot of food for the price! Always love that!One of my friends got the cedar plank salmon and said it was juicy and very good! Can't wait to go back.

While the food was very good, and I mean that, the wait time and service up front was less than satisfactory. My party and I waited for almost 2 hours, and no one up front came to notify us of why the wait was happening. We only were told when a member of our party went up and asked, to then be completely sassed by the worker up front.
