    Chicken clucker with side of Mac
    Christina G.

    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.

    I've tried Roots a handful of times and have not had a good experience. The quality of food for the price is brutal.

    Came in for lunch on Father's Day. Buffet was great. Rib Meat fell off the bone. Brisket was so tender. All the sides were delicious.

We ordered a rack of ribs ($32 with no sides), chili cheese fries ($19), and brisket fries ($17). Our takeout order took about 50 minutes, and after a convenience fee and tip, the total came to over $87. The ribs were fairly fatty and average at best. The chili cheese fries were covered with so much chili that they were more like a bowl of chili with fries underneath. The brisket fries were probably the best item we ordered, although the meat was more similar to shaved steak than the BBQ brisket we expected. To be fair, the portions were generous, and while we were waiting, a local customer mentioned that the mac and cheese is one of their better menu items. The staff was also friendly. That said, for nearly $90 for takeout for two people, I expected a much better overall experience. Nothing we ordered stood out, and the food quality simply didn't justify the price or the 50-minute wait. Based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're specifically going for menu items that regulars suggest. Last note for fairness- the actual SMOKE/tenderness of the ribs was very good.

The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and caring, but Will, the manager, truly sets the tone. It's obvious he deeply cares about his community, his customers, and his team. His leadership creates an atmosphere that makes people feel valued the moment they walk through the door. In fact, after one visit, my 11-year-old said, "When I grow up, I hope I can work for someone like Will because he's so kind." That says everything. One of the employees, Ryleigh, always remembers our family. She greets us by name and makes my kids feel recognized and special every single time. Those little moments leave a lasting impression. Mission BBQ isn't just a restaurant. It's a place that honors our military, invests in people, and creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels like they matter. The outstanding food is just the icing on the cake. We always leave with full stomachs and full hearts. Highly recommend!
