    Customer service was okay. Slim's meal and buffalo wings were decent. I like how they have a lot of options for sauces.

    The menu

    Well, a friend from out of state recommended this place. Said it was better than Caines. In some ways, I can see why he thought that. For example, they also have wings, milkshakes, and salads... as well as chicken and waffles! Several different kinds of teas, as well as lemonade, and some other specialty drinks, along with your typical soda fountain (see pics). This location was recently built, so everything is newish, and well-maintained. There's a large inside dining area, as well as a small outside covered dining area. The atmosphere is your typical fast food casual. They did a good job of taking the order, and explaining their menu. The food came out fairly quickly. However, we ordered our french fries, extra crispy and not only were they not extra crispy, they weren't even hot. The chicken was excellent and hot! Note: They have a large selection of dipping sauces, which Caines does not. The chicken fingers, fries are served with toast, but not Texas toast, and does not include coleslaw.... Which may explain why their pricing appears to be slightly lower than Caines. We will definitely be back, the expanding menu with shakes is appealing to us! If you haven't tried this place, I would strongly encourage you to!

    Buffalo Mac & Cheese Bowl Meal   With rubber bands on the side

    Our food had black rubber bands in our macaroni bowls. I don't wear rubber bands in my hair so there was no doubt about it being placed in there either in the entire mix or specifically our bowls. However this was my first and last time coming here. I didn't even bother calling to report it. Disgusting---- period!!!

    This was my first time here & I was presently surprised! They have some fresh tasting items. The staff was really nice & friendly and the restaurant was really clean. The sandwich was seasoned superbly, the strawberry cheesecake jar was delicious and not too sweet plus the jar is reusable. I just wish the pickles weren't so salty, the batter was light though. I'll definitely go back, there's more items that caught my eye.

    Went here for lunch with a coworker and honestly wasn't mad about it at all!!! We arrived close to 12 pm so it wasn't too many people there. I'm not sure if the cashier realized it was our first time being there but I will say I felt real rushed to make a choice, which I didn't like and should be noted. Again...there was literally one person behind us who had stated he was there to pick up an order. Once I got past that, I just made the quicker choice I could make which was to get the Slim's Meal (3 tenders/choice of side/drink). My coworker got the wing meal with a side of Mac and cheese and drink. I'm so glad I got the tenders. Not only were they juicy they were also very well seasoned so I was so happy with my choice. The lemonade...bomb! Not too tart or too sweet. It was just right. The fries were hot and seasoned well too. I tried a wing (buffalo) and It was the typical buffalo flavor. My friend said the Mac and cheese was ok. I'd try it myself to get a good personal review. For it to have been lunch time, the dining room wasn't packed at all. It was clean and I was happy that it wasn't too loud. The drink station was clean was definitely a breath of fresh air and they had a great variety of soft drinks, flavored lemonade and teas (several). Nice touch! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was someone cleaning the tables once diners left. I should also mention that there is a drive thru so if you want to try it that way it is an option. Overall dining experience was a 4 star. The initial customer service could have been 100 times better, which actually discouraged me from deciding on dessert or not, but other than that it wad a great lunch spot. I'd definitely go back!

    Pretty simple and to the point. Great Chicken and even better service. I will make this a regular stop when in Coppell!

    Fried chicken salad
    Mel M.

    I was craving garlic parmesan wings & a side salad today. And BOOM I was able to get both in 1 meal. The chicken strips came in a garlic parmesan wet sauce that was seasoned to perfection. Wonderful food & prompt service - I'll return at least once a week to try other menu items.

At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10.

I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.

The sandwich was HUGE (as my husband likes to say "quantity is a quality all on its own"). I was very glad we spilt it. That said, I could easily be convinced the chicken was a frozen patty, since there was nothing particularly special about it.

All in all, it is another DFW spot I am glad I tried once, but I do not feel the need to go back.
