Reviews for Root and Barrel Kitchen & Bar in Franklin, NC
I had dinner here with a friend several weeks ago. I was skeptical because the reviews I had read were kinda mixed. I'm so glad... we went because our dinner was wonderful. It wasn't too crowded and the service was great. We started with the southern friedpimento cheese balls and they were to die for. My friend ordered the Chicken Alfredo. I will probably order that next time bcit was very good. I had the Salmon Gnocchi and it was perfect. I ordered the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for desert.Amazing!!! Definitely give it a try next time you are in Franklin. Read more
Wonderful restaurant. Came across reviews on OpenTable and decided to drive to Franklin to try it out, and they didn't... disappoint. The service was amazing, the food was great. The "0ld Man" burger was delicious, juicy, and you could reallytaste the fresh burger patty with the crisp Bacon on it. Read more
I took my mom out on a girl's day, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. the weather was nice, so we chose the outdoor patio,... which filled up while we were there. Our server, Mei, handled everything very well, and was very sweet. We ordered thepomegranate brussel sprouts appetizer, the fennel Caesar salad, tomato bisque, and the bumpkin burger. Presentation and tastewere both excellent. Overall, it was a good experience, with great atmosphere. Ask for Mei, she is awesome. Read more
absolutely incredible experience. we went there on father's day and it was packed. but the staff was on top of it and we were... quickly seated in the very nice outdoor patio. our server was great, and in spite of the rush we didn't want for anything. thefood was... incredible. I had the grilled rack of lamb with fingerling potatoes, which was just unreal. I'd recommend this placeto anyone, any time. Read more
Went to town to go to our regular restaurant when passing through but wasn't in the mood to wait and we put in restaurants in... maps and this gem popped up. I had the half of Turkey and Brie Croissant and a half order of Waldorf Salad and the CaramelMacon Mule for lunch and it hit the spot. The mule could've been mixed with caramel moonshine instead of syrup lol ???? but Ileft full and relaxed. Thank you ???? Read more
Delicious meal at a beautiful restaurant! Our waitress was incredibly attentive. I ordered the salmon dish and would eat that... many times over! My husband had the lamb chops and they were tender and scrumptious. Read more
Restaurant looks nice and spacious inside with covered corner outdoor seatings. Food is pretty good but vegetable used to... garnish the dishes was not very fresh. Service was also very good although the waitress brought a wrong appetizer at first andthen she offered to take off the appetizer from our bill. We appreciated this attitude very much. Read more
We were in town visiting a friend who suggested we try Root and Barrel. We were there for a late lunch on Saturday. We chose to... sit outside because the music volume inside was too loud. Our young waitress took our order without writing it down. In myopinion a guest at a restaurant should not be practice for a server's short term memory - do that on your own time, not on mydime. As expected, she got our order wrong on several points, such as making a hamburger a bacon cheese burger. Frustratingly,each time a server came to our table, they left empty handed instead of removing our empty plates. We looked around and saw thatthis was the practice in the entire restaurant. Plates from a couple that left when we first arrived still had not been cleared(and still had not been cleared when we left well over an hour later.) Oddly enough, towards the end of our meal, when myhusband went to go use the bathroom, all of the waitstaff were hanging our in the back room. (This may have been a shift change,but that does not excuse the uncleared tables for the solid hour before the shift change.) The hamburgers were decent. Thecaesar salad, however, needed some work coming out absolutely drowned in dressing and choked with CYSCO industrial croutons andfake parmesan cheese. We also found the overall food to be salty. Needless to say, our local friend was disappointed and wewould certainly not recommend it. Read more
