I made a reservation and was seated when I arrived. It was a Sunday evening and they had live music which was really good. It was a trumpet player playing r&b/soul music. I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant. My waiter was not as attentive when I first arrived but made it up by taking off a food item. I ordered the cornbread for an appetizer and it was really good with the smoked butter. I ordered jerk lamb chops with greens as my side. Both were really good and flavorful. Overall it was a great experience and glad I got to check out while in town!

Lamb Chops with hoppin john were ok. Pricey for only 2 chops.

Good FOOD equals GOOD MOOD! Soulful Sunday is available on the 4th Sunday of each month. It's a special menu with good food that touches your SOUL. Think Sunday dinner at grandma's house! The menu rotates each month to keep it fresh and exciting. I took my mom for her birthday and the experience was amazing. Sunday Funday & Soulful Sunday! Let's' talk FOOD! The cornbread was delicious and cooked with love. It came with salted butter and cherry/orange jam. The greens were heavenly and perfectly seasoned. The collard and mustard greens were flavorful and cooked with a ham hock. The Mac & Cheese was scrumptious. It was creamy and cheesy goodness. It melted in my mouth. The pork chop fell a little short. It was fried nicely and well seasoned. However, it was rough and tough and all that stuff. I really should have asked them to make me another. The knife didn't want to cut through it. Service was good as our waiter was pleasant and polite. He told my mom happy birthday and that was sweet! Ambiance was nice and it was clean and cozy. I loved the fresh simple flowers on the table. I requested a booth and they were able to accommodate the birthday gals wish. It's funny it was the same booth I sat in when I came before. It's been years since my last visit. This experience was so much better. I was happy, satisfied and FULL! I wish this event and menu was every Sunday. This would be great! I truly felt the love, soul, flavors and seasoning. A wonderful birthday meal! I would have given it 5 stars, but that pork chop was a little hard to chew and swallow. Looking forward to the next SOULFUL Sunday!

Roots Southern Table was honestly amazing. I've been a huge fan of Top Chef, and Tiffany Derry has always been one of my favorites. So when I found out we were getting a chance to try one of her restaurants, I was all in. Didn't get to meet her this time (lol), but I've met a few top chefs while living in Vegas, so I'll take the win on the food alone. Keenan, our server, absolutely made the experience. Super knowledgeable, great energy, and honestly just told us what we should order and he nailed it. Every recommendation hit. We started with the cornbread, which is easily in my personal top 5. Then the duck fat fried chicken... I'm not even going to try to describe it properly, just order it. Trust me. The deviled eggs were another standout, and then the greens... I've lived in the South, and I can confidently say these were the best greens I've ever had. No contest. There were about 10 of us, so we got to try a bunch of different mains, and I didn't hear a single complaint from anyone. I had the short rib, and the depth of flavor was insane, simple dish, but it hit hard in all the right ways. Finished it off with the German chocolate cake, and that first bite straight up gave me a Ratatouille moment, took me right back to being a kid in 1984 eating my grandma's birthday cake. Just unreal. Definitely stop by, say what's up to Keenan, and enjoy one hell of a meal in a southern ambience.

Tiffany Derry always has the best menu around! The food tonight was to die for. I got the scallops and my partner got the short ribs. Both were extremely flavorful! Additionally we had the carpaccio as well as the gumbo- well worth the decision to get it! We split a bottle of wine and polished the meal off with the best German chocolate cake. It was the most decadent cake I have ever had. Our server, Jj, was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us pick the wine and we loved it! The atmosphere is very intimate and romantic. We will definitely always come back here!

The restaurant has beautiful Art as well, on their walls.

As soon as you walk in this restaurant, you can smell all of these delicious aromas floating, throughout the restaurant entire restaurant in general. You, are politely greeted as soon as walk in. You hear nice music playing, people talking among their dinner party, everyone having a blessed beautiful Saturday evening. Their wait staff, is rigyon point, as soon as you ask for anything, by time you turn around, they are handing it to you. Your food is brought to you, fresh, hot and ready for you to get yummy, with your tummy. The management staff, is awesome as well, they come to your table as well to check on you and see if it is anything else you may need. If you haven't been to this restaurant, please make reservations and go, you will be so glad, that you did. Highly recommend and I will be back soon.

I love Tiffany on tv and was so excited at the chance to visit her restaurant and try her food, and it did not disappoint. We all enjoyed our dishes thoroughly. I had the char-grilled chicken and wow oh wow, it was so amazingly flavorful, and the harissa gave it the perfect touch of heat. I had never had fonio and it was moist and delicious. The fennel salad provided the acid. Such a great dish. The cornbread was addictive. The scallops were cooked well. The short rib was tender. The wait staff was nice (shout out to Tre). The hostess was sweet and allowed us to sit before all of our party arrived. This was a 10/10 experience. I will be back for the fried chicken and shrimp and grits bites next time.

Serena L.

Came here with colleagues for dinner and was quite impressed with food served here. The chicken was super crispy and juicy. We also enjoyed the corn bread and salad. Everything came out very flavorful.

Roots service is top notch. The space is intimate and comfy. Received birthday NA champagne on the house- great add to celebrate. We didn't drink them the NA champagne flute smelled like soap and tasted like it too. The NA drinks also tasted like soap. Only downside to the experience was the drinks. A few things I noticed not on par with top chef. Paper menus-understandably since their menu was explained as seasonal. No placenta or change of utensils between appetizers and main course- out utensils placed dirty back on the table when our plates were taken. Fried rice was flavorful and my husbands favorite. I was looking at the mango pistachio salad but we went with the recommended persimmon "top chef moment" so good! Cornbread was delicious melted on my tongue and worth returning. Steak was cooked perfectly. Ice cream and sorbet delicious. Def recommend and will visit again with friends just to try the family style fried chicken.

Adrian D.

Nothing beats homemade soul food! Another new place that I tried out. Every bite tasted like it was made with love and tradition. The chicken was on the juicy side perfectly seasoned. The gumbo was prefect and rich, and the collard greens were tender with that slow-cooked, savory flavor that just hits right. Don't forget the cornbread -- warm, soft, and slightly sweet. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. I love the artwork, that they had all over the restaurant that was pretty cool. I didn't get to get pictures of that. But I can not wait to go back.

Anyone who knows me, knows my DVR is all good network shows. For this reason, hubby surprised me by trying Chef Tiffany Derry's restaurant while we are visiting family in Dallas. Upon walking in, we were quickly greeted and seated for six. Ambiance is causal and modern. I loved the touch of fresh flowers on each table. We love to eat family style, so we ordered a lot... Apps: Cornbread, Fried Shrimp & Grits, Deviled eggs, Tamarind Salad Entrees: Fried Chicken, Gumbo, Redfish Sides: Biscuits, Collards ...more cornbread (IYKYK) Spirits: Purple Rain Best bite is a tie between the cornbread and shrimp and grits. Chicken definitely deserves an honorable mention. Drinks were amazing. Each time someone tasted it, they ordered one. The staff was comical, knowledgeable and attentive. We had a great experience & will undoubtedly return. Looking forward to trying her other concepts, but Roots has set the bar pretty high. Enter freely and thank me later, they've been approved

Came in on Sunday for date night and from the first moment it was clear this restaurant operates with intention. We were promptly acknowledged and seated, setting the tone for an experience that felt thoughtful rather than rushed. I am gluten free, and what stood out immediately was that this was not treated as a limitation. The options were abundant, clearly considered and genuinely delicious. Nothing felt compromised or secondary, which is rare and deeply appreciated. Sarah, our server, welcomed us with genuine warmth and guided us through the menu with confidence, offering thoughtful substitution recommendations that reflected both care and deep knowledge of the kitchen. We began with the deviled eggs, a deceptively simple dish executed with precision and balance. For mains, the wagyu and short rib were exceptional. Rich, layered flavors, beautifully composed and deeply satisfying without being heavy. Dessert was the perfect close. House-made sorbet and gelato that felt clean, vibrant and intentional, not an afterthought but a final, polished note. This is a restaurant where food, service and ambiance move in harmony. Every detail feels curated for a full, embodied dining experience. Top-tier hospitality, confident cooking and an atmosphere that invites you to linger. A true gem and an easy, enthusiastic recommendation.

Sarah M.

I enjoyed my meal here. The service was friendly and timely. Our server checked on the table often and was warm. The redfish with crab fried rice was delicious! I'd happily return on a future Dallas trip.

Roots is a restaurant from celebrity Chef Tiffany Derry. I came with really high expectations but came out disappointed... First of all the "My Mother's Gumbo" is DELICIOUS! It's probably one of the best gumbos I've had in awhile. My entire party loved it. However after the gumbo, everything kinda falls off... I'm not saying the food is bad but for a restaurant from a famed chef, it was very average. The "Duck-Fat Fried Chicken" was surprisingly the worst item of the night. It was very underwhelming. The rest of the dishes was, like I said, very average and forgettable.

This place is impeccable. Five stars all around. From the service to the food this place is a total find. Our server was passionate about the menu and went above and beyond to ensure we understood the menu and made us feel welcome even though we arrived close to closing time. When the food and drinks arrived I was impressed at how fresh and flavorful it was. The menu isn't your run of the mill southern food. While some of the classics we love are on the menu, there are various fresh takes on southern flavors that will wow you. Something that stood out to me here is the freshness of the fish. Moving from South Florida to Dallas I'm not used to such fresh fish at local restaurants but the freshness of the fish here really surprised me. I will be back to this restaurant and I will recommend it everyone I know. read more

What a great find Highly recommend this place. They have a creative modern update twist on the Deep South classics. I had the fried to perfection shrimp and grits, and then onto the flavor blast spinach and crab agnolotti. This was a solid 'hit the spot' fill, with the right size portions. The duck fried chicken and cornbread look so darn delicious that I can't wait to return. The staff are amazing and work so well together in unison. Indeed this is a tightly run ship and their well maintained kitchen is basically out in the open to proudly showcase their stuff! Thank you for my excellent supper. read more

I had been waiting for Roots to surpass the three years mark before giving them a try and they did not disappoint. Took a group of friends here for my birthday. Orders and ratings are as follows- shrimp and grits fritter (3), although tasty there was no hit of shrimp; Skillet cornbread (5), very tasty and reminded me of my moms cornbread; greens and hot water corn bread (3.5), the greens and pot liquor was the star; halibut (4); gumbo (4); jerked lamb chop and peas and rice (4.5), the peas and rice was the star, the lamb was bland; shrimp and crab pasta (4); sweet potato crème brûlée (4). Overall a great experience and will definitely return. read more

Came in with a party of two on a weekday evening and it was slightly busy but we were seated immediately. Great service from the hostess and our server. I was torn betta few items but she made good suggestions I will say that all the portion sizes are pretty big so come hungry. My favorite dish was a toss up between the cornbread and the plantains. If you can, I would try both! I ended up going with the fish and grits for my entree. It wasn't my favorite but not bad either. If I could order again I would have done the shrimp and grits instead or another dish altogether. Really like the atmosphere in the restaurant. Good energy in the room and very lively but not so loud that you can't enjoy the company at your table. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Found this gem on a long road trip back to HTX. The pics look great so we stopped. I didn't have a reservation but we were greeted and sat really fast. Our server gave great information about the menu and food options. The FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. My mom had gumbo cornbread and greens! They were all very tasty and didn't miss. T I ordered the redfish entree which was also extremely delicious. I'm so glad I found this gem of a restaurant. My only wish was that I was able to stay longer and listen to the live Jazz band!! The service was also top tier. I'm hardcore when it comes to service and this restaurant nailed it! Can't wait to come back. read more

Pro tip: make a reservation!! This is a small, intimate restaurant so the tables are close together. The night that we came in, there was a live violinist, which was great and she was really good! However, due to the small interior, the music was a little too loud in my opinion and made it a bit hard to heard table talk during dinner. For starters, we ordered the cast iron cornbread. The butter is smoke infused and they release the smoke table side for you which was really cool! The jelly is amazing too. Cornbread was perfect and flavorful. For entrees, my husband and I split the duck fat chicken and ordered the crab fried rice and crispy potatoes as sides. The duck fat chicken was amazing. So light and crispy! Keep in mind that it is a WHOLE bird so there is a lot and plenty to take as leftovers! The chicken comes with biscuits. The pepper jelly that came with the biscuits was fire though. So good!! We loved the crispy potatoes. I personally enjoyed that it was a mix of regular potatoes and purple potatoes. The crab fried rice was tasty and unique! I thought that the side dish portion was perfect and you didn't really need much more than that. Overall, we loved our experience here and hope to return again soon! read more

We tasted the Smoking Old Fashion, and had the red Zinfandel Old Ghost for our adult beverages. We spilt the heirloom tomato salad with burrata & Dukkah (Yum!!!), I'm going to have to try and emulate the Dukkah! Our entrees were the oxtail and red fish with crab rice. Oh, and we shared the potatoes fried in duck fat. Can't wait to go back. read more

Went to Roots last night. I ordered the Fried green tomatoes with crab on top, the crawfish fried rice, and the fried chicken. The service was great, however someone at our table ordered the gumbo and no crab cracker was brought to him until well after he had finished it. The Fried green tomatoes 10/10 The crawfish fried rice 0/10 it had an overwhelming fishy smell and taste that was off putting. It was not touched. The Chicken, 3/10 it was just ok, the chicken was cut inconsistent, I had one leg, two wings, two thighs, some mystery pieces, and two 1/2 breasts. The chicken was cooked way too hard, and at times had an odd taste. I enjoyed the crispness but not the flavor. read more

We celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary at Roots last night and absolutely loved our experience at Roots Southern Table. The staff was warm, inviting, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. My wife and I ate the cod fritters (wow those were amazing), the gumbo (such a dark and hearty roux), the deviled eggs which packed an incredible kick, the slow braised beef cheeks which might be the most tender I've ever had, and then finished the meal with the orange cake and banana pudding gelato. We've been looking for a restaurant like this to call home and become regulars at and I think we just found it! read more

Customer service was very hospitable and the apparel gave me 5 star restaurant Vegas feels. I thoroughly enjoyed this place.

This was the highlight of this trip to Dallas. To start please book your spot early as they do get fully booked. I took my team here during or business trip and at the end of the meal I was informed this was the best food they had ever eaten! Our server was amazing and we wanted for nothing during our meal. We started with cocktails and I ordered the uncle nearest old fashioned (for thouse that don't know Uncle Nearest taught Jack Daniels how to make wiskey). The old fashioned was one of if not the best I ever had. We them moved into the deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, and cast iron corn bread all of them were delicious and delightful. For our family meal we ordered the duck fat fried chicken, the Texas striped bass, braised pork cheeks, creamed corn, and fried yams. The chicken was perfectly seasoned crispy and delicious, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the pork cheeks were amazingly tender. The sides were equally amazing but the yams stole the show! We ended our meal with the Lemon Panna Cotta, Peach & Mango Cobbler, and Orange Juice Cake! I could continue to wax poetically about this place and their food but instead I will simply say this. This is a need to visit food destination. if you are in this area and don't come here for dinner you are missing out on some of the best southern food in the nation! read more

This place did was overall pretty good. The wait stuff was really good, I don't feel like we had to wait or look for our waitress. First starters the gumbo was perfection. It had all the elements. I ordered the sweet tea with the mint so good! We ordered the chicken, which is 10 pieces! And biscuits, greens, and crawfish fried rice. All was good, I think it could have been a bit more seasoned but overall it all tasted good. This place is higher priced. Our bill was $115. It's a bit loud of restaurant. Easy parking. Be sure to make a reservation, don't arrive too early, they hold tight reservations so your table won't be accessible until that time. I say try it out! read more

This was our second visit to Roots Southern Table, and it somehow managed to surpass the first. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. I highly recommend the Texas Redfish, greens, and duck fat chicken--each dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. While the menu changes seasonally, you can rest assured that there are no bad choices here. Thankfully, they keep a few core items, like the chicken, for regulars to enjoy again and again. If you're looking for a great, casual Southern dining experience, Roots is a great choice! I also look forward to trying Chef Derry's other concept nearby, Radici. read more

Oh my Goodnight, this place is amazing. understand why Tiffany is one of Bobby Flays titan chefs. The food was beyond anything I could describe. Her deviled eggs were slap your momma and go back and slap her again good. The gumbo was so flavorful and the red fish was cooked perfectly. We absolutely loved her fried rice and the apple pie... OH MY GOODNIGHT!!!!!!!! We can't wait to go back and try the chicken. The sunroom was so nice and relaxing. The ONLY negative... I didn't get to meet Tiffany because she was out of the country.

Another wonderful evening at Roots with the best server in town, Keanon. Pork cheeks were on the table tonight and my goodness were they the most tender thing my fork has ever touched. My super picky son even ate them. And the scallion pancake. Shhh don't tell him they weren't beef. So. Good. And apparently we've been sleeping on the cornbread. I've tried almost everything on the menu, but until tonight, hadn't tried the cornbread. Talk about dessert before dinner. And have your camera ready for the butter reveal when he brings it out. Thanks for another great evening, Roots. read more

Visited the area over Labor Day and friends wanted to try Roots based on others feedback. They made reservations - and you definitely need them. Very small place with only 2-3 family size tables. Interior was very clean very white and bright. Tables in the middle of the restaurant are small and 'squished' together. Hostess crew weren't super friendly and cold. Our server Patricia however was very sweet and hard working (almost too quiet for this noisy place). Tried a few of their specialty drinks (Southern Tea and Smooth Operator) but were disappointed that they were mostly ice and not much taste. Highlight of the night was the Cast Iron Cornbread appetizer. Golden and delicious. From there it was rather blah... My Mothers Gumbo was good but wouldnt order it again - a lot of crab but no real meat. For Dinner we shared the Duck Fat Fried Chicken (advertised as a whole chicken but mostly parts and the breasts weren't even meaty. The chicken had a good taste but couldn't find much meat. Have tried other family style places in the area (even Babe's Chicken House) that are much better priced and definitely better food. Just felt like it was a lot of bells and whistles without the engine. Hope you have a better experience than us, and maybe try something besides the chicken. read more

Dined at Roots Southern Table while we were visiting Dallas. They do not have a GF menu, but the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. We loved both of our entrees. One was New Zealand lamb chops (substituted the fried yams as the Hoppin John is not GF) and the pork belly. We will return when we come back to Dallas. Recommend reservations as they were very busy on a Thursday night. We enjoyed our table out in the sunroom. It was quieter than the main dining room. read more

I enjoyed a nice mezcal margarita with seasonal grilled peach salad and the Texas Redfish. The salad was packed with flavor - only suggestion is more ripe peaches (I'm from Georgia and they were hard in texture ). The redfish just perfection and absolutely delicious!!

Food: Lamb- very good Scallops- very good Fried Green tomatoes- fresh and good Cornbread - good especially with the marmalade- didn't care for the butter Side of potatoes- ok Side of green- too salty but I liked the spice Red bean and rice- too salty. I couldn't finish it. It started giving me a headache. All the drinks are very good Southern Tea Old fashion The perfect pair read more

First time here and I definitely will be back! Came with some friends to catch up and the company was great but the food had us "oooh" & "aaahing" and we left full as ticks. The ambiance is small and cozy and it's not a huge place that you feel like you get lost amongst the crowd. Where we sat we were able to see Chef Tiffany Derry and I woke lie, girl crush is in full effect. So the waitress, Raylen, came and made some suggestions to us and since they sounded great we went with them. We ordered the shrimp & grits & the corn bread. We also got the oxtails, the red fish, and the filet mignon. We also ordered the crab fried rice and two adult beverages. The appetizers were delicious. The shrimp & grits were like fritters served over a tomato ragu, the crab fried rice was delicious and the corn bread was well delicious!!! The oxtails were unlike what I'm accustomed to. Unless smaller cuts it was like a shank served with a broth with rice on the side. I poured the rice into the bowl with the oxtail and I couldn't have been happier. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food and I will say that when my drink came to the table I was like "oh, it's small" but it packed a punch! I also ordered an Arnold Palmer and it wasn't like others I've had. I could have drank this and been good. Chef Tiffany came out and greeted our table and we were able to get a photo with her and she was beyond pleasant to speak with. She mentioned that the menu is constantly changing which is another reason to come back. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back. read more

So glad I had an opportunity to stop in for dinner while I was in town! That duck fat-fried chicken is everything! There was so much food and it was only two of us! Definitely bring your appetite and a group! We tried so many wonderful food items. Loved the cast iron cornbread. I wanted to try the gumbo but we really would've been overdoing it at that point. The southern greens were good. Though wasn't a fan of the hot water cornbread that came with it. The hoppin John was also good. It was a great experience and the service was excellent.

We made reservations for this place and they were on time. The host was gracious and the service was great throughout our dinner but could tell the waiter we had at the time was newer. Still they did a pretty great job. The inside is well lit and they have a patio area for our cooler months. For food we ordered the fried chicken. My friend ordered the ox tail and Hoppin John. The friend chicken was friend to perfection and was flavorful. I won't say it's the best in the area but up there. For the price, you can find some better places but overall not disappointed. My friend loved their ox tail and Hoppin John. For dessert we did the orange juice cake and it was delicious but really on the sweet end. Would recommend getting a coffee with it to cut down on the sweetness. Definitely recommend this place at least once. read more

Second visit. Reservation made over a month ago for patio. Seated inside, with tightly spaced tables. Told that a larger party came in, and they seated them at the table I reserved. What? We were inside and so close to the bar that we could hear the bar patrons profanity-laced conversation. I always wonder why restaurants ask if you are celebrating something special when you make the reservation. You select that you are and input what you are celebrating, but there is zero acknowledgment of it. Happened here. Cornbread and gumbo were the highlights. Fritters and cocktails were really good. Rock shrimp - B Oxtails - B- Jerk Lamb Chops- A Halibut - B No room for dessert, even though I tried to convince them to try the orange juice cake. read more

Dining here was quite the experience- small restaurant with a special curated menu by Chef Tiffany. Decided to check this place out for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. There no doubt in my mind that this is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The menu is a delightful celebration of Southern cuisine, elevated with a modern twist. We started with the cornbread, which was perfectly moist and flavorful, setting the tone for an exceptional meal. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the best of Southern cooking with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was impeccable--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance is perfect for both a casual night out and a special occasion, with a charming decor that makes you feel right at home. Roots Southern Table is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience that pays homage to Southern roots while embracing contemporary flair. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

I get why Roots was a James Beard winner. It is pricey but not outrageously so. Come here the next time you want to celebrate and spend a little more, it'll be worth it Cute little place, and when we went they had an electric cellist playing hit songs. Was a super fun atmosphere for a date. Service is also very good, but to be expected at a more expensive restaurant. I agree with the $$$ Get the first shrimp and grits- SO GOOD. Reminded me of arancini! The short rib and duck confit pasta were to die for as well. The short rib was so tender and the Gruyère mashed potatoes were so creamy. The slightly pickled veggie salad with the short rib was such a smart addition as well. The duck confit pasta was rich and exactly how you would think it would be. Also get the orange juice cake for dessert. It's a MUST. So good I couldn't stop eating it. It was well balanced, not too sweet, and imo innovative. All the dishes at Roots are SO smartly created and delicious. If I were to come back I would literally order the same thing! Also they have ample parking which is always a pro read more

Specialties

Roots Southern Table pays homage to the way Chef and Owner Tiffany Derry grew up eating in the South. On her family's farm, Tiffany's grandmother always welcomed guests with food. Food is what held the family together. For her family, field-to-table eating was not a trend but simply a way of life - eating with the seasons, canning and preserving fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, never letting anything go to waste. Friday evenings were reserved for family fish-frys, fried chicken was the centerpiece of any special occasion, and crawfish boils were a summer staple. Roots Southern Table evokes the feeling you're coming home to those you love. Receive a warm welcome upon arrival and gather around the table for a meal prepared with purpose. Each dish tells a story of Tiffany's culinary heritage, inspired by the memories made at the family supper table.

Our tour was led by Jamie, who shared his extensive knowledge as he guided us through the Prohibition Era alongside our concierge, Landon. The speakeasy features stunning floors made of 120-year-old Italian wood, beautifully decorated with art, books, and a selection of premium entertainment and spirits. Patrons can request "prescriptions," which are 2oz alcoholic shots inspired by the owner's grandfather, who was a pharmacist. Cocktails and friendly service was provided by Emma and Kyle, their services were a nod to Bob Ruede, RPB's renowned Intoxicologist, along with other award-winning bartenders recognized for their excellence in service and hospitality. Eric, the Cigar Attendant, is knowledgeable about how to properly enjoy an exceptional cigar experience.

The sauce was delicious, but the meatballs themselves could've used a bit more seasoning. I do wish they offered complimentary bread or included it with dishes. They do have a Rosemary & Garlic Confit Focaccia available for an additional charge, and it's very good, but it would be nice to have a starter option included. Overall: I absolutely recommend giving this place a try. Great food, great music, talented chefs, and genuinely wonderful service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

A Soulful Symphony of Southern Classics From the moment you walk through the doors of Roots Southern Table, you're wrapped in a warm hug of hospitality and the irresistible aroma of slow-cooked comfort. This isn't just a meal, it's a journey into the heart of the American South, where every dish tells a story steeped in tradition, flavor, and soul. Let's start with the duck fat fried chicken, golden and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Each bite sings with perfectly seasoned batter and just the right amount of heat -- the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes and smile. Beside it sat a generous helping of collard greens, simmered with smoked ham hock and onions until velvety and deeply flavorful, and crawfish fried rice so rich and creamy it could stand alone as a main. And don't even think about skipping the skillet cornbread served warm, with a crisp edge and a whisper of sweetness, it's the kind of bread that reminds you why simple things are often the best. But what truly sets this place apart is the feeling. The staff treat you like kin, the atmosphere is laid-back yet soulful, and the food tastes like it was made by someone who's been cooking it for generations because it probably was. If you're looking for a true taste of Southern heritage, prepared with love and served with pride, Roots Southern Table is more than a restaurant. It's a reminder that food can nourish more than just your body, it can feed your spirit. read more

Oldie but Goodie....My sister shimada recently sent me an article about Chef Tiffany Derry opening a new restaurant called Radici later this year. This reminded me of the time we tried Chef Derrys restaurant called Roots Southern Table when it first opened back in June 2021. I must say that we have been following Chef Derry career since Top Chef, Cutthroat Kitchen, and when she partnerned with American Airlines to create recipes for the Flagship Lounge at DFW Airport, so we certainly will try her new Italian spot when doors open. Caste Iron Cornbread My Mother's Gumbo Stuffed Zucchini Flowers Duck Fat Fried Potatoes Duck Fat Fried Chicken Various Drinks and The Bartenders Special Drink...lol This is certainly one of my top restaurants in the Dallas area, not just because the food is amazing but also because of the family vibes. Chef Derry and her team are so cool and down to earth. My sister and I felt like we were welcomed into someone's home. Watching her do her thing in the kitchen and watching the bartender do his thing behind the bar was all amazing! We stayed a little past closing, and Tiffany and her team were eating, laughing, and having a good time right along with us... We loved every minute of it!

Last night, my team and I had the pleasure of dining at Roots Southern, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The entire staff at the restaurant was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, providing us with valuable recommendations for must-try appetizers and entrees. We indulged in a variety of starters, including the delectable cornbread, gumbo with sausage, shrimp and 1/2 crab, fried green tomatoes topped with lump crab meat, and saltfish fritters. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. We added the famous duck fat fried chicken (2 orders), and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I only wish I could have taken the remaining chicken home with me. Another standout dish was the crawfish fried rice, which was simply divine. The rice was generously filled with succulent crawfish, providing a delightful burst of flavor in every bite. It was a refreshing change from other restaurants where the crawfish can sometimes be scarce. The red fish was another highlight of the meal. It was expertly seasoned. Several of us ordered to beets salad and it was very refreshing. Overall, our dining experience at Roots Southern left us feeling full and satisfied. looking forward to visiting them again read more

5 Stars - A New Favorite Spot! From the moment we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. We opted to sit at the bar and were seated immediately--no wait, which was a nice surprise! The food was absolutely incredible, and I loved everything I tried. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into every dish. Service was top-notch--attentive but never overbearing, striking the perfect balance. We also had a few drinks, and they were crafted to perfection--delicious, well-balanced, and a great complement to the meal. The ambiance was inviting and classy without being stuffy. The mature crowd and clean, cozy vibe made it feel like a place you'd want to linger. The open kitchen is a standout feature--I loved watching the chefs in action. Whether you're planning a date night, a casual gathering, or just want to treat yourself, this spot is perfect. I'll definitely be back soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience! read more

My girlfriend and I were thrilled to celebrate our anniversary here, especially after hearing all the rave reviews. We ordered the duck fat fried chicken, king crab pasta, and cornbread. The king crab pasta exceeded expectations and was a definite hit. The cornbread, paired with smoked butter and spicy jelly, was also enjoyable. However, the duck fat fried chicken didn't quite live up to its hype; I even felt a bit queasy afterward. Despite the generous portion sizes - we each had leftovers - the service was lackluster. While other tables were engaged in lively conversations with their servers, ours merely went through the motions of taking our order. The ambiance, particularly in the sunroom where we were seated, was marred by the noise from a large party behind us. They did give us complimentary non alcoholic champagne for our anniversary which was nice. Overall, it was an okay dining experience, but nothing extraordinary to warrant a return visit. read more

Extreamly friendly waiter and staff. They were very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The food was spectacular. If I could, I would eat the deviled eggs everyday for the rest of my life, and I would only be upset if I wasn't allowed to do at least a second order per day as well. The fried chicken was so juicy, and the skin was very crispy. Our group was so stuffed, that we had to take 2 pieces of chicken back to the hotel, and the chicken was still amazing as a midnight snack. The restaurant was very inviting, and everything really came together as a theme. read more

We had a wonderful time at this intimate spot with lovely outdoor seating. The food was flavorful and well-seasoned, with beautiful presentation. The Cast Iton Skillet Cornbread was a definite highlight -- so delicious! My husband did mention he'd prefer the arugula on the side rather than on top of his hot dish, but that's just a small thing. Brianna, our waitress, was attentive and offered great suggestions. Her service really made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

Roots Southern Table was so good! The service was great, and the food was delectable! The shrimp and grits was not your average, as they came in a little ball all together, over like a tomato sauce. They were so good! They're definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more
