An incredible experience- highly recommend the cornbread, deviled eggs, halibut, and lamb pasta, but I can assure you there are no bad options on the menu. The service was exceptional and warm- wish we lived closer so we could experience this on the regular. Thank you Roots Southern Table for a memorable dinner that we will be talking about for years to come!

This is my third visit to TLC and I love it every time. Lots of delicious options! Also, it’s a scratch kitchen so you can give them a list if sensitivities or allergies when you order and feel comfortable with what’s served.
