The best restaurant in the New River area, hands down. Having traveled the world and been to tons…read moreof restaurants around the US as well, I had the best meal I've had in over a decade here. The outside is an unassuming brick building, kinda in the middle of nowhere. The inside is quaint, like a small Cracker Barrel with nostalgic knick-knacks around the walls. Server was absolutely amazing and the people are very friendly. But, the star of the show is the food that the back of the house prepares. Pizza was great, wood fired and perfectly crispy. Airline chicken caprese was a special and had roasted chicken, parmesan pepper grits, mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes and sweet potato and kale stir fry. Crispy skin on the chicken, moist on the inside. Grits were peppery and creamy. Cheese was fresh and cold with the tangy tomatoes and then add the sweetness of the sweet potato....hits all the parts of a palate. The kitchen is locked in, firing on all cylinders and doing it right! Creative, fresh and perfectly executed. Please do yourself a favor and try this place. We will continue to return!

This week was different- I ordered the special for the night, a tasty fish dish. I am on a keto diet. The fish came topped with slaw. I was supposed to order " a carb" so I asked for more green beans. They said I already had a vegetable ( slaw). And that I couldn't have green beans. I love their green beans. But that was that - the waiter remained firm. So my plate came looking a little bare ( white fish fillet with slaw on top). I had not had that happen before. It annoyed me!

Our bill was $311!It is my opinion that the compensation was negligible and a 45$ average check (including two children 5 and 7). is way way too high when a live beetle is included in the meal. We have had many problems over the years w this restaurant but this is finally the last straw!If you want a live beetle and to pay a 45$ average check the Farm House is your plac

Food is amazing. Such yummy combinations of ingredients to create healthy bowls that are very…read morefilling. Each bowl has enough ingredients to share with someone, have as two meals, or if you're a big eater it will definitely fill you up. The food is fresh and so yummy and like I said it's enough food to feed two people or have as two meals so it's a cost effective meal choice. Customer service was great and each bowl is made right in front of you so you can add or eliminate any of the ingredients you don't want. The restaurant was clean even though it was busy due to lunchtime hours I was here.

Their bowls always hit the spot and leave me full, satisfied, and feeling good. The service is always great and the staff is very welcoming. I will also note that I have never had a problem with my order here, they always get it correct. The menu allows you to order one of their bowls or curate your own. You can also add or take away certain ingredients to one of their bowls as well. Some of my favorite bowls are the Balboa, the Mayweather, and the Tamari. The bowls are super filling and packed with all the ingredients. Their chicken is also really good, not dry, and seasoned well. If you are in the area and want a healthy, filling meal, check Roots out! I am dying for them to open a location in Gainesville!!

They also have music bingo on Thursday nights and other fun events. The upstairs (in true dive bar fashion) is a smoking section, so be aware of that if you are sensitive, but the downstairs is no smoking. There is also a section with dartboards so you can play with your friends.
