I found this place has way too much gluten and non healthy cooking oil- canola or ? . Not as healthy as one would think. In addition, I'm pretty sure they used a synthetic cinnamon on my breakfast yogurt which made me really sick for 4 hours. Until these so-called organic or fresh food restaurants begin educating themselves and their customers, things will not be getting better read more

Highest quality food, nicest staff and owner. We've been twice and will continue to go out of our way for the Grafted Root.

I have been here twice. My initial visit was decent despite the fact that this place is significantly overpriced. We had the same server both times and she was inattentive, and not very friendly. The food is just okay. I wouldn't recommend going unless you want to pay 50$ for a mediocre meal. read more

Location is very easily missed as you can't see it from the road. Inside, the decor and ambiance is very homey and relaxed. Seating-wise, it's extremely cramped. I wish my bad experience stopped there, but it only got much, much worse. I was with a group of ten people, and most of us started our meal with the tomato soup. When it arrived, I was very disappointed. The "soup" was indeed not a soup, but a very mealy marinara sauce. The croutons served on the "soup" were so hard, I felt like I was putting my teeth in danger by trying to eat them. I took two spoonfuls of the "soup" before sending it back. I ordered the chicken pot pie. For how expensive the dish cost, I thought it was going to be worth it. I was wrong. The pot pie was very small (too small to be a meal), the crust was extremely dry, mealy, thick, and grainy. Then, to my horror, the veggies and chicken were in a minimum amount of BROTH and were also dry! Now, when you think chicken pot pie, you think of that velvety, thick, and flavorful cream sauce, not bland broth! I and four of the other people at my table who ordered the chicken pot pie all sent it back. A 12 year old at the table ordered the mac and cheese. When he started to eat, he immediately asked if they forgot the cheese in the mac. It was so dry, hard, and crunchy, the usually eats-anything-in-front-of-him 12 year old pushed his plate away, even remarking that the bread that was served with the dish, was stale. My sister ordered the salmon, and the first bite she took, was stabbed in the roof of her mouth with pin bones. Now, if I'm paying $20 for a salmon dish, I expect the easily removed pin bones taken out. It's just common knowledge. Last of all, the pricing was just ridiculous. For two meals and three drinks, one couple at the table had a bill for $67. For the quality and quantity of the food we all received, that is just disgusting. Every person at that table of ten left hungrier than when we arrived, angry, and frustrated. We ended up getting pizza, if that tells you anything. To the "chef" or whomever is in charge of the kitchen: do your business a favor and learn the basic fundamentals of cooking. You have good ideas, but the lack of knowledge and skills to execute them properly. We will never be back. read more

Great little find on yelp. We were in town for a softball tournament and 2 hours to kill. Went here for breakfast and everything was great. Would definitely come back if we come back into Grand Blanc for another tournament. I had the pumpkin French toast and my wife had a spinach and mushroom omelet. Both were outstanding. read more

The Grafted Root Eatery - New American Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

I have been dying to eat here ever since hearing about it. They have local, real (not processed) food. I was there at about 10:00 am on Saturday. They were very busy (they were just on the news and I wasn't the only one who wanted to try it). I took my four year old son. The decor is very nice and homey. It is meant to feel like you are in someone's home. We were helped quickly and we both had the French toast. Both of us loved it. The prices are also very reasonable ($5 for French toast). We will definitely be returning. read more

I have to give this place it's 3 star rating on it's potential. As a person who seeks out organic, humanely raised, locally sourced options, I was very excited to find this new cafe in my hometown. They are socially conscious and have a pretty extensive menu. Unfortunately, that did not make up for the hour wait for our food, or the sub-par quality of the food once we recieved it. We ordered eggs, pancakes, french toast and a turkey sandwich. It's a small place, and they were busy, so that probably contributed to the wait but, an hour? Not feeling it. The food was good, not great. The service was good, not great. Ultimately, I was disappointed. Will I give it another chance? Yes... when I have the extra time to wait. read more

I love the coziness of this place. Hole in the wall describes this place perfectly. The place was packed when we arrived but only had to wait 15 minutes to sit (great timing on our part). It took 10 minutes to get our drinks ordered, then another 10 min to get them. We tried to order when we got our drinks but she disappeared to get her notepad. Then she completely forgot about us and took the food order and served the table that came in after us, they were a table of four. Once our food was ordered we sat there and waited for nearly two hours. It was like pulling teeth to get our drinks refilled. Finally I was starving and was tired of waiting after one and a half hours and had seen three tables, who had come in after us, get their food. I approached the older lady that had taken our order how much longer it was going to be and mentioned that we had been there waiting for one and half hours already. It still took 15 more minutes for our food to come out. I will say my food was very good and worth the wait hence the two stars. One of our parties food received running eggs instead of scrambled and had to be sent back. Her meal was comped. At least partial compensation should've been offered for the rest of us after having to complain about the ridiculous wait. Especially when several following tables received their orders well before we did. We will not be returning. read more

Okay...I know this place has great reviews so I was really looking forward to dining here. The owner was there and she is very sweet and friendly and treats everyone like a regular. My food was by no means "bad" but I did feel like I got the dregs while everyone else enjoyed their meals. I got the special which was a pancake, 2 eggs and home fries. The eggs were just eggs, the pancake was dry so I needed a lot of butter and syrup on it and my potatoes included the black char from the bottom of a cast iron skillet - ew. Even the hot chocolate tastes weird. But, the orange juice and jam was very good. Service was very slow and there were not crowded. I heard from the other people at my table that the frittatas and French Toast were good so I guess I will have to try one of those if I make it back here. Again...not exactly bad, but nothing special. read more

Great food with unique offerings - the Morning Oatie and Darma's breakfast are great options. Lots of sandwiches to pick from for lunch, and the fresh to order cookies are delicious. A small restaurant, so let them know if you are in a hurry to go so they can accommodate you. read more

Quaint setting, excellent service so a little bummed that the food wasn't better. Home fries had no seasoning, maybe a little salt and pepper? Some onions? Little bits of fresh jalapeño cooked in? Eggs ordered over medium but were closer to over hard. Turkey sausage bland as well. The good....excellent jam, tasty pancake (not hot though). Maybe heat the syrup since it's served in a separate cup? Maybe we'll give it another try if they make a few changes. read more

Not what we expected. I guess it's ok if you are a organic foodie. Not much selection and extremely over priced. ($3 for 2 sausage links!?) Very disapointed. There was only room for about 8 people to be seated inside. We showed up around 9:30am and it was empty which should have told us something. We will not be back. read more

This brunch banged. I didn't see hash browns on the menu but I enjoyed everything I ordered. The banana bread french toast was to live for! My eggs were also really good. I will definitely return. read more

Went on a Friday night figuring there would be a good selection based on what I saw on facebook. Their facebook page should be updated daily with the menu, but it's not. When we arrived, we found the menu pretty limited. Salmon and two or three chicken dishes. I was hoping there would be some type of beef on there - was jonesin' for a steak. The atmosphere is OK...tables and chairs a retro and not very sturdy. Music was great. We paid $22 for a Salmon dinner - and split it. Meh...don't think we'll go back. read more

cutest place ever, it's small but filled with so many cute paintings and pictures. the banana bread french toast was a dream

A pleasure for lunch. Cozy atmosphere for a strip mall setting. Had a sandwich on toasted 7 grain bread, roasted carrots, mozzarella, mixed olives, ranch dip and ham - delish! read more

Beautiful, Old fashioned family eatery with excellent homemade Fritatas, French toast, Strawberry jams with big pieces of strawberry and Pork Sausages. Great ambience and old time American music. Really worth visiting when you are in Grand Blanc, Michigan read more

Great place, lovely atmosphere, really nice staff. Plus the food is organic and really good.

Cozy little place with good but not great food. Prices a little higher than what I think they should be, because portions were small.

New restaurant. Learning what customers like and what menu items can be added. Priority is fresh local food so menu driven by availability. Food was very good and service excellent. We had brunch on Sunday morning. French Toast was well made and tasted awesome. I look forward to watching them grow and cannot wait to see all the exciting new dishes once the weather warns up and more fresh options become available. read more

I'm in town for a few days and was looking for a place with real food... With real ingredients. Gluten free? Organic? Vegan? Grass fed? This place nails it. With an amazingly thoughtful and comfortable "hang-out" decor vibe and super friendly staff, this is an easy place to come to study, drink coffee, have "a drink", bring a date, and/or eat really creative and thoughtful meals from the menu. Seems like a best kept secret for the Flint area. read more

We had breakfast. It was well priced, the same as a greasy spoon. However, the food was not greasy at all. It was thoughtfully prepared and I didn't feel sick after eating. The dining room is super cute, the waitress was helpful. The real maple syrup with homemade bread french toast for five dollars for four large halves or one four ounce p[portion of awesome jam from a large selection was hugely exciting. The fruit was the biggest surprise, for two bucks we got a big fruit plate with five different kinds of fruit. The star deduction is because the french toast was not soaked in the custard long enough and was dry. read more

Charming little cafe! I was surprised to find this gem, it's truly hidden back behind a McDonald's. We had the grilled cheese and veggie sandwiches along with pots of tea. The sandwiches come on artisan bread with lots of fillings. They hold book clubs there and sell local art. The staff was great. We will be back! read more

After reading reviews we decided to try it for breakfast. It was not what we expected! The pancakes were burnt, toast served dry and hard as a rock. The eggs were fine but potatoes and bacon burnt. Very pricy, which would have been okay if good but it was one of the worst meals I have ever had. Will not be back. read more

Delicious food. Kind, wonderful people. The Quiche Lorraine was fabulous! I will definitely come back. read more

The Grafted Root Eatery - Fabulous crustless quiche Lorraine - New American Near Me - Grand Blanc, Michigan

Just visited this place last night and had a delicious dinner. I tried their trout and it was wonderful. The sides of basmati rice, asparagus and carrots were cooked just right. The only complaint I would have was that we were sitting too close to the piano man and I was unable to hear most of the conversation at our table. Our mistake in planning a night of conversation when the entertainment was so enjoyable! Will be returning for sure. read more

I love this place and wish I could go more often. It is very much like a small, family owned restaurant you might find in France or Italy. I highly recommend this place as a special destination to bring visitors. There is no place like it for MILES. Grand Blanc needs more restaurants like this!! read more

This place has excellent, unique food in the heart of Grand Blanc. Great hand-crafted salads and sandwiches with ingredients sourced from local farms. read more

Great cocktails! Great food! Great environment! Great service! All around Love this place. I come here as much as I can a little pricey but well worth it. read more

One of a kind establishment. Nothing like it in Grand Blanc so I give it 5 stars. The people are personable and the fresh food is just phenomenal compared to every other place in town. We need this in grand blanc. I recommend it to everyone. read more

Food was very bland and portion was small. Menu is very limited, don't think they will last very long. Person who seemed to be the owner stayed at one table talking, must have been his friend, but in a small space like that it made my mother and I uncomfortable, like we were unwelcome. read more

First night Grafted Root served Pizza! It was excellent had the goat cheese garlic pizza! Also had the everything pizza and it was also excellent! This maybe a Thursday night event and I would recommend it! read more

My sister in law and I hosted a baby shower at the Grafted Root, today. Michele, the owner was very accomodating by letting us hold it after her hours on Saturday. It is such a quaint eatery! Two of Michele's super salads, a fresh cream of potato fingerling soup, cheese and bread tray and her famous baked olives and homemade bread made for a very successful shower! It was like having a party in Grandma's kitchen! I can't express how lovely it was working with her and it made hosting a very successful party possible! It also doesn't hurt that she makes the best food in the county~ Thanks Michele. read more

Wonderful place to have an intimate meal or beverage of your choice. You can play guitar, read a book or just shut up and eat. The food has a homemade with mothers love feel, but a gourmet look and superb taste. read more

Like the food and the "feel" of it. Wish they had a few more things on the dinner menu. Looking forward to their growth.

Disappointing. This area is in great need of a great restaurant. The concept is great but the execution of the concept needs a lot of work for this restaurant to thrive. read more

Super cute restaurant with adorable decoration. Excellent service and amazing food (really fresh!). I love that you can build your own omelette/frittata. Definitely coming back :) read more

Excellent Breakfast! Great Menu filled with unique entrees! Love the French Toast with blueberries. The restaurant is small and quaint with a welcoming eclectic decor. Wait staff is polite and attentive. read more

Lousy!!! The rudest older waitress. Every question I asked she had a nasty remark! Won't be back to many other choices!

What an unexpected treat! I come to town a few times a year to visit my father, always looking for some good food. Breakfasts are particularly have been particularly hard to find, most places are glorified diners with the lowest level products and decor. Today I found this place, now I know where to go from now on. Really top-notch ingredients....real maple syrup...himalayan sea salt on the table instead of Morton's crap...10 kinds of homemade jams from Slo Jam (I dug the rhubarb-ginger), full bar, steel cut oatmeal, homemade quiches, frittatas, etc. Super homey decor, very comfortable and clean. Can't say enough other than I'm psyched to find this great place. Highly recommended, best breakfast around. Gotta try dinner here next. read more
