Maybe I've just lived in enough places like Atlanta and LA to know better because Grafted Root was completely underwhelming. The first issue was finding it for a meetup with a friend. When I finally found it (sign doesn't stand out against the brick), I mentioned to the waitress (an older woman) that I had trouble finding it. She said that's by design, that the people they want to find them will, and that they don't even need to advertise. Well, woop-de-doo, don't we think we're something special, was my thought. First strike there. It is crowded little hole in the wall without a nice atmosphere. The menu was extremely overpriced, and the food not exceptional by any means unless you've lived in a place like this town all of your life. I had french toast, and I got one pathetic little slice of bread that was nothing special. I was a bit embarrassed for them that they had so much attitude and weren't all that. I can't imagine any reason to return. There are better restaurants that have better fare without the attitude and ridiculous prices. I'm willing to pay for excellent food and service, but really, there isn't anything about Grafted Root that makes it worth it. read more

Visiting Grand Blanc and happened upon The Grafted Root. The food and service were both excellent! Everything fresh and healthy.

Stopped in the other day with friends from out of town for lunch. I ordered the spinach quiche with home fries and fresh fruit on the side, plus an order of sweet potato fries (an usual option not frequently offered on the rotating menu) for the heck of it. I'd had a yen for some some good sweet potato fries of late, and they did not disappoint. Food hit the table in a timely fashion and service was fairly attentive. Fortunately, everyone's food came out at the same time, so everything was timed perfectly and we were all able to eat at the same time. It's so frustrating when you're out with friends and the food arrives at varying intervals. Fortunately, this was not a problem. My quiche was nice and flavorful, with a good crust (the crust in homemade quiche is harder to perfect than you think) and texture. I'd definitely recommend it. The only other times I've been here (some time ago), I had a salad and frittata, respectively, both of which were quite nice. I did manage to snag a few bites of a brunch companion's pancakes before, and those definitely were delicious! The home fries were good and the sweet potato fries (an indulgence I just had to give into) definitely hit the spot. I'll get those again any day! The food was quite good, the ambiance was quirky and eclectic (I love the funky atmosphere and eclectic decor) and the price was right, too ($12 for the quiche with home fries and fruit), though the company was beyond reproach (thanks, Amy and Laurie). All in all, a great little brunch/lunch spot. I'll be back!! read more

where to start ! I am a local to this place and would have loved to say something good but unfortunately I cannot do that the food is not just sub par but complete undesirable ... let me say i am a white male and this shouldn't matter but I noticed really odd service differences between myself and my table and another table in the restaurant with a couple of another color, now ill be honest I didn't notice much in the moment other than the fact that our server was kind of rude in general and just not a pleasant person but then I have sense read there one star reviews on google if you haven't done that please do so before you eat here it seems I wasn't the only one over time to notice this ... completely innapropriate i really hope that the staff that is being accused of this has sense been released or will be soon however I've heard things about the owner as well it it makes me question the integrity of the entire buisness making me not able to support it any further even though I would love to because they are a local small business but maybe they shouldn't be. read more

The service is is wonderful and the food is amazing. So good I forgot to take a picture before I dug in

The hours on the website say they're open on Sundays but I'm here on a Sunday and they're closed. Maybe they're closed for good? Oh well, I will spend my money elsewhere. read more

Great local place. Sandwiches are top notch and Bloody Mary's are home made. Highly recommend paying a visit. read more

We loved the quaint ambiance, the staff was very friendly, and the food was good. I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 because while the food was good, it wasn't great. It was also overpriced. A local coney restaurant will do eggs, pancakes, and bacon for almost half the price, but I think you are paying a bit more for the experience, the quaintness, I get it. But over easy means there is still runny yoke and there was no real yoke to dip anything in. The pancake was ok, but it would have been nice to have warm syrup and not just a bottle of syrup off the store shelf, and taken from the fridge. It kind of conflicted with the quaint experience they are striving for. Also, we were only given the choice to sit at a table that was very close to another occupied table. We asked for another but were denied because there was only 2 of us. We had to keep our conversation really low so we didn't bother the couple next to us. The seating area is very small, so they really couldn't accommodate our request for another table even though there were other options, but the other options were for 4 seats or more, so, it was a bit uncomfortable. I still plan to come back, the quaintness and friendly service makes up for the issues mentioned above. read more

Great food, great service, family owned. The owner was on the grill in the kitchen cooking. Great spot!! Highly recommend, I'll be back!!

Home cooked food! Delicious! Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere. This is my top place to visit in town.

Great food and good service. Wish it was bigger! Worth the wait though! Home cooking at its best!!

This is very much a health food restaurant. They did not have artificial sweeteners, no hash browns, and the food is tasty, but expensive. Very small quarters and so-so service from waitresses without personalities. read more

Great food in a timely fashion. Great service as well.Love the changing menu. Very busy at times and could have a short wait.

I always enjoy finding little hidden away gems, this brunch place was just that. I had a turkeys melt with veggie/veggie soup, and was impressed with the flavors of both. Also highly recommend the mimosas. read more

Always a treat and great service. Brenna was fabulous and the bacon was as crispy as a brand new pair of Air Force Ones

Whenever I come here, I'm always thrilled with the food and service. The food is *real* - fresh and as local as possible. I always come out feeling like I just had someone's mama make me their specialty. read more

A small place that's always busy. The food is always good. The service is great too. Just be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table.

This is a favorite of mine. I just wish they had their menu for easy viewing online somewhere (for the specials). I don't mind calling but feel bad bothering staff asking what the specials are. I do lots of carry outs due to having lots of special need kiddos in the house. Going out is a pain. Great staff and good food. read more

One of my FAVORITE spots to get coffee and breakfast. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly. They are always busy especially on the weekends. I've never had a bad meal here. 10/10 all around! read more

I don't know how this place keeps getting better, but they had me at gluten free bread pudding with brandy sauce. For brunch. You only live once. The bacon is from a local farm, the tea is organic, and the vibe is so homey. read more

Good food. Long wait for service and for available table. Excellent French onion soup

We always enjoy breakfast at the grafted root, very tasty meal in an eclectic atmosphere. Weight staff was great and meal was served promptly. read more

Love this place! Food is great and the ambience is even better. Love their fresh menu options!

Decided after reading all the YELP reviews that it was time to give this place a try. Quality of the food received was good and the service was equally satisfying. We both tried a special for breakfast which was an egg and pancake combo with choice of meat. The food quality would have been higher had I not experienced a hair in the midst of my pancake. A replacement was given as well as an apology from the waitress. We shared a maple donut which was excellent. We may try to return some Thursday evening for pizza night. read more

This place is a hidden gem that my husband discovered on yelp. It's got a cool, laid back vibe, great mimosas in the morning, everything is phenomenal, but it isn't pretentious. The pancakes are *honest to god* the best pancakes I have ever tasted in my life. I don't even like pancakes, but these changed my mind. They most use sorcery on those things.., one taste of my husband's pancakes and my eyes rolled back into my head and I had such regret for what I had ordered. However, the omelet that I had was super tasty, and the mimosa was divine. Those pancakes kept calling my name, though. I can't wait to go back and have recommended it countless times. You won't be disappointed. read more

We are from out of the area and we found this place using yelp. It has great food and great staff working. They were very friendly and we could customize our meal as we wanted. All the food and drinks came out correct and the taste was great. A small casual eclectic place. Will come back again. read more

Funky little place tucked into an unremarkable, easy-to-miss strip mall with fantastic food and bar. Our party of five, picky eaters and foodies, was thrilled with our selections for brunch. The quiche was fantastic as were the omelets and frittatas. We left planning our next visit to the hidden gem! read more

Adorable little eclectic diner with from-scratch local and organic food. All the staff and patrons are super friendly and care about the experience of eating and supporting Michigan made. The food is all amazing. Oatmeal is rich and filling. Eggs and quiches are amazing. Pancakes are just like grandmas. French toast is a rich treat. I usually come for breakfast but they have a whole wall of sandwiches (pictured) that sound soooo good. Prices are reasonable for the quality and care and sourcing. They've also got 6 taps of Michigan craft beer! read more

Jan. '19: ... don't go here; I WANT THE PLACE ALL TO MYSELF!! Cozy, excellent fresh food, no TV's, games and books, if you want, ... and everything written in their history and description is more than true ... but, forget all of that ... if you can. Last year: As usual, the whole experience was excellent... and that was only lunch! Always very personable, as well. read more

I ordered the breakfast sausages, cut into them and they were very raw. I asked my waitress to see if they could cook them longer but she said she'll have them make two new ones. The new ones were almost as raw as the first two. She assured me they were up to temperature but I did not eat them. They could have at least taken it off my bill. read more

So I ended up marrying a girl in Grand Blanc so I could come back to Grafted Root a couple times a year. Best restaurant in GB!!!

Cozy environment and amazing eats. Fresh ingredients straight to your plates no microwave here. I love the variety of teas as well. I've had a few different things but my favorites are the pancakes and pumpkin butter and the BBQ Hawaiian sandwich. Servers are very attentive and the staff takes the time to get to known their customers. Definitely visited and returned multiple times i just a short period of time. read more

This is the best lunch spot in the area. Farm to table and local ingredients! The sandwiches are amazing and weekend breakfast can't be beat! read more

This place is my new favorite spot in Grand Blanc. We got the eggs Benedict, pancakes, OJ, coffee and strawberry rhubarb jam. Everything tasted amazing. They had games for you to play while you ate. Overall an awesome experience for my hubby and I. read more

Very good, small local place that fades in quirky decor and an elevated menu. Food is good, drinks are good, and the service is wonderful, but it just falls short of that 5 star goodness. Good could be better, sometimes is like the B version of a great dish. read more

Grafted Root is my favorite local organic breakfast spot! Their french toast and frittatas always leave me wanting to come back again and again. In addition, I love that they change up their menu seasonally. Grafted Root is a small place, but it gives it that warm, welcoming feel when you enter the door. If it was advertised better it would probably become more of a "hit" breakfast place, but I have always had good service and great food here and will be returning again and again! read more
