My wife and I shared a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms instead of fries (not…read moreincluded with the sandwich either way). Sandwich was tender and tasty, about the thickness I prefer, 1/4 inch with a thin and nicely seasoned breading. The fried mushrooms were surprisingly good. Best tasting breading I've ever had. In fact, they could bread their tenderloin with it and make it so much better. If I'm ever back in Richmond, I'll be sure to drop by.

The food was just okay. The burgers we had were above average, the chicken chunks and tenderloin…read moresandwich were below average. The service was inadequate at best. It took more than 40 minutes to get our food. When the food arrived the order was incomplete and incorrect. One asked for no sautéed onions which were on the sandwich. One of our four was missing fries. The waitress said she would be right back with the fries, but even after reminding her 15 minutes later, the fries never came. This was a frustrating experience at minimum. The ambiance was of a typical bar. A little loud and small difficult to get around the place.

I definitely want to return here to try their steak.

Fabulous dining experience.

The ingredients are top quality and the chef really knows his stuff. I enjoyed one of the best pork chops ever, thick and juicy with a little pink as requested. Every bite had that little bit of crisp, little bit of fat, just right on the seasoning. My husband raved about his filet mignon which looked awesome. Pics included! Decor is a western feel, simple and understated. Lighting is just right. The whole place had a fresh and clean feel to it. There was some low volume Pandora or similar music feed of the classic light rock persuasion. Service was well above average and everything was so delicious. Check the little logo "branded" on the dinner rolls. We took home a bit of leftover which our waitress Lori kindly boxed up, and grabbed two slices of the pie of the day (German Chocolate) which we polished off at home. Most Thursdays there is prime rib and I'll be calling ahead on that on another Thursday in the not too distant future. But I get the impression that everything on the menu will be excellent. What a great addition to this area! Thank you TJ.

Delicious rolls with honey butter were delivered to our table with our drinks. I ordered a 6 oz sirloin (medium) with 6 grilled shrimp. My sides were green beans & loaded baked potato. Hubby got 3 piece catfish with a side of green beans & mac n cheese. Hubby liked his food. My shrimp were good. My steak was full of gristle & impossible to cut. The manager stopped by to check on us & I told her about how bad my sirloin was. She immediately took it & brought me another one that was much more tender. I appreciated the good service. The manager found out it was our first time at this restaurant & gave us a cute welcome gift that included coupons. We'll be back.

Rolls came out first and they were hot and fresh. House side salads came first. They were fresh. Tasted good. Our entree's came fairly quick. I got a 8oz sirloin steak medium cook with fresh steamed vegetables(broccoli and carrots). Steak was cooked well. Veggies were still hard. Total turn off. Told the waitress and she said they're steamed in a big batch. But we told her they are not being steamed long enough. She offered to take them back to steal some more. But I didn't want to wait. So we just didn't eat them. Definitely disappointed in the veggies.

Roots is all about the food. What else can I say but their ingredients are great. The beverages are…read moresuper good for those of us sick of hyper-sweet soda. It's in the same category restaurant at Sweet Green. I think some people balk at the prices but those same people will pay more at the Old Richmond Inn for lower quality food. The main knock against Root's is the atmosphere. It has the same charm as some of the nicer auto- mechanic waiting areas I've been to. Just grey, bland, cavernous. I personally care most about the food so the atmosphere doesn't bother me as much. But I think it hurts their image when they'r charging "premium lunch" prices and the interior can't even match the vibe of like a chipotle or sweetgrass, which they are most comparable to. (Not saying they need to be the same as chipotle or sweetgrass)

There is no 'meat taste' at all so get in here and give these a try. I had a feeling I would love it and I did. It's a large yet cozy venue with the number 5 featured prominently in assorted art as well as on the tables. The building is historic, lots of wood, brick and brass railings plus a stunning Victorian bar back. We ate at the bar which was very comfortable. Little sliding wooden trays to make it convenient for eating, then just move them out of the way when you're done. They have 10 or so craft beers on tap and a full bar. We had the opportunity to sample a couple brews and we both enjoyed our beer choices and the food. Prices were fair, and tax is included in the menu price. I really want to shout out our bartender/server. Didn't get her name but she had round glasses with eyeglass chain attached and was on the shorter side. She was very customer focused, answering all our first-timer questions, attentive, appropriately conversational, and definitely on the ball as she was handling tables too. Top notch service. About those railings: unless there's a special back entrance, the venue may not be wheelchair accessible. There are two or three steps at the entrance, and if you want the bar instead of booth or table, another three or four. Both have sturdy solid handrails. I do not fault them for this; probably the historic building is exempt, but just wanted to note it for anyone needing that info. All in all a five star experience and I hope to return soon.
