Roots

What a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I love restaurants that open in older spaces like this. I would love to know what this space was originally used for, if I had to guess it was probably a general store at some point.The booths are nice and deep, with seating for at least eight people. My group of five was able to spread out and be comfortable. Our server was very kind, and was patient with my autistic son.The first course was the butternut squash soup. I've never had it prepared this way, I believe they mixed in some high-quality maple syrup as a sweetener, it worked beautifully and was delicious from first spoonful to last.I ordered the fancy burger for my entrée, and while I had to peel the tomato and lettuce off of it, the balance of the sandwich was perfect. Nice and juicy with crispy delicious bacon. My wife and son split an order of ribs and they looked delicious also.I found it wonderful that they had homemade ranch to accompany my tater tots, I'm such a kid lol.The setting is delightful, and the food is great. I would love to come back sometime!

Haven't been yet. Although I will be going to try it out. My husband and son went for lunch and they loved it.

We had lunch here one afternoon and had the best experience. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and recommended so many great things. The food was excellent. Highlights included the pulled pork nachos, brisket and baked beans. The turkey and Mac and Cheese was also really well done.The ambiance is really nice, there is a ton of seating in booths or tables and even outside. Our food was cooked perfectly and had some great flavor. This was definitely a homerun!

Located at the nexsus of downtown Almont. Place of awful traffic going North in Van Dyke is roots. We have passed this place so many times and finally decided to stop in- it was Friday afternoon around 3:00 PM. The space has bar, table seating and extra large booths. Beware the booths are so big I predict you can fit 8-10 people great for a large party. Booths are also so big that my feet didn't touch the ground and it was hard to get in and out.Good we tried the "clucker" a grilled chicken and bacon sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese, pretzel sticks, loaded tots and the chopped salad. This was WAY too much food for two people. However, pretzels were good, the gooey bar cheese stole the show on the tater tots, chopped salad also good (nice touch with the thin fried onions) and the Mac and cheese was loved! Seriously that bar cheese is gooey and good. We didn't get any BBQ to try. But I like what they are doing and will totally be back! And those tots were amazing- I though I was dining light tots and a salad but no- still had to pack it up. The service was fantastic!! Our server was very attentive, drink refills without asking, helped us with a to go order, it was an all round good experience.

Very clean dining room. Service was fast and friendly. Loved their smoked turkey and coleslaw. My aunt loved the salmon. Not a fan of the potato salad, but the bacon topped cheesecake was delicious.

Sub par food. Very uncomfortable booths. Make sure to pick one with back cushions. I ordered the burger with spicy bacon and I guess they were out so they put raw jalapeños on it and it was too hot to eat.

Meh, that's how I feel about our experience here. We stopped in on a Thursday evening for dinner. The hostest seemed annoyed to seat us, sorry for bothering you. Sigh. We were seated at a table directly across from the kitchen window. It was so hard to have a conversation because the guys in the kitchen were blasting and singing to hip hop music. Now, I love me some hip hop and can appreciate the desire to have fun while working, but when you have an open kitchen like that, you do need to be mindful of your volume and throwing f bombs in front of customers. Our server was nice enough and was prompt. We ordered a burger and the 1 meat entree with the pulled chicken, side salad and honey carrots. The chicken was not pulled chicken, it was big old chopped hunks, like someone was too lazy to actually pull it. The carrots were also huge and only tasted of butter not honey. The burger was ok but kind of bland but the fries were great. Overall a very mediocre meal.

Enjoyed my lunch immensely. Loved their artichoke dip and coleslaw. Also had the pulled pork and beef brisket.

Stopped in on a whim. So good we came back. Food wonderful. Service wonderful. Don't order the spicy burger unless you like spicy. You won't go away hungry. Next time, my wife and I will share a meal. I wish they had a bigger beer selection, but I'm fond of craft beer and micro brews.

The best Quesadillas I have ever had!!!!! Restraint was quiet and the wait staff were friendly. Prices were very reasonable. Husband had the garlic brisket dinner and was very pleased as well! Vegetables were cooked perfectly and the bbq sauces at the table were awesome! Everything tasted really fresh!
