Amazing dining experience. All the food was carefully crafted. The meatloaf was not mom’s meatloaf. It was a true culinary delight. Wow. The ricotta ravioli was exceptional as well, and chef’s lemon blueberry mascarpone cake finished off the night perfectly. Thanks to everyone there.

Root & Bone is a “diamond in the rough” located in Horse Shoe, NC. I have eaten at the restaurant a number of times. None of the people in our party have had a bad meal. We had a bottle of Jordan 2019 cab. Delish. For appetizers we had the Smoky Bacon Board and Drunken Deviled Eggs. Soooo good. Entrees were Brick Chicken, Trout and Sort Rib Meatloaf. The Meat Loaf is a smaller sized meal and last night it was just a touch dry. Other times it had been spot on. If your in the area, you should make this one of you dinner stops.

Nice atmosphere, food was good, a bit pricey. Our server (Bailey) was the best. We were celebrating our Anniversary and was given a quiet area usually used as 'date night' seating.

We visit this area often and Root & Bone is a favorite. The food quality and service are on par with our experiences in larger urban areas known for outstanding restaurants. If you're in the area, don't miss this place!
