Reviews for Southern Roots Restaurant in Jamestown, NC
My husband and I loved the quaint, casual atmosphere and the fun, 60?s-70?s classic music. The outside patio looks beautiful,... but we got an inside table sooner so we will try that next visit. My hand-breaded cornbread catfish was just perfect: crispy,hot, tender on the inside, and the fried green tomatoes with the pimento cheese provided an almost spiritual culinaryexperience! We can?t wait to return! I should also mention that we enjoyed the classic music quotes in the restrooms, along withthe sweet neighborhood kitty next door! ???? Read more

Nice, quaint spot in downtown Jamestown. Smaller restaurant, so a little loud but not too bad. My husband and I had the... cornbread appetizer with the gravy spread. Delicious! I ordered the seafood risotto. Pretty decent, but needed a little moreflavor. Thankfully the shrimp and scallops in it gave a nice balance. My husband had the cowboy ribeye. He said it was a bitsalty for his taste, but the sweet potato fries on the side were tasty. Overall, pretty good. We will be back to try more. Read more
Southern Roots puts downtown Jamestown on the map.....period. This restaurant has always been the talk of the town for its... excellent food and great customer service. I was there last week for a meeting and this restaurant did not disappoint. It has avery energetic vibe going even during lunch and always busy. You can feel the buzz. So if you are looking for a quitedinner....this is not the place for you. The ambience is modern and chic. The entrance to the restaurant is from the back of thebuilding rather than from the front main street. Unfortunately the parking is a struggle at this place like most downtownrestaurants. They do have overflow parking in the back and the walk is barely a minute or so. However during busy evenings, itcould also be further away. However that should not deter anyone from trying this gem.

This place never disappoints. The food is great...ever time. The atmosphere is just as nice. I've gone for lunch and dinner. It... get a little crowded at both; yet, I would recommend sitting outside if the weather allows. The servers are warm and insightfulas I am sure you will need deciding between all the wonderful options. A little hint: there are no bad decisions. See thepicture of the seafood risotto. I can't say enough good things about this place. I HIGHLY recommend it. Read more
I must say I'm impressed. Went here to have dinner for a friend's birthday. We ate bar side. Customer service was great! Food... was even better. Great experience overall and everything was reasonably priced. Some of the review pictures doesn't do anyjustice of the food quality. I almost slipped up on a gem. Southern Roots was GREAT! I can't wait to go back. Read more
My fried catfish was good. The sweet potato casserole and garlic spinach were perfect! My hubby said his shrimp and grits here... tasted good, but he prefers a version with sausage and green onions. His brussel sprouts were very delicious! My friend's skirtsteak and fried eggplant were very good, she said. Also, the appetizer of fried oysters was nice with Sriracha aioli and baconvinaigrette for dipping. I asked for the aioli to use for my catfish instead of the sauce that came with it. Good sized lunchportions, and I even had leftovers to bring home. Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant. Will definitely come here againprobably for dinner so we can have even more options.
