A local told us it was a must-visit, and she was absolutely right! What’s interesting about Roots is that it serves as both a restaurant and a kitchen/food store. The atmosphere has a charming, pioneer-like, almost rustic feel, making it an ideal spot for a family meal. The menu was quite refreshing, featuring soups, salads, sandwiches, and a few other light dishes. My Cobb salad was simply delicious.

I ordered the BLT along with the marinated coleslaw, and it was served on toasted and buttered sourdough bread. This place has a unique vibe; it reminds me of a smaller and better version of Cracker Barrel, especially with its market section. They have a cozy indoor space as well as an outdoor area for dining. I will definitely be returning!

The cashier wasn't friendly. At checkout, im.not sure why they changed the tip to dollar tip. I spent $41 and tippingoption was $1, $2 and $4. Who gives a $1 or $2 tip for a $41 meal? I ended up tipping in cash. I prefer the tip by ... 10 ,15 , 17 , 20 . I usually do 20 even at carryout, especially during this exaggerated pandemic that ruined so many lives andsmall business. I am really happy that I decided to stop by this market/restaurant. I love all the unique merchandise includingjelly, jam, salsa, coffee, pasta, ice cream, beer, draft beer, wine, gifts, snacks... Most, and f not all, are local. I pickedup some items, and the mustard, The Pig Cave Black Mustard, is so good... a little spicy and has white wine in the ingredient.The restaurant food is amazing! The brisket sandwich came in these delicious jalapeno buns. The corn pudding was so yummy! Thecrab soup had so much chunky veggies in it that it looked and tasted healthy. I will definitely come back next time I am in thearea.

Very unique place, feels like a smaller but better Cracker barrel with it's market side. Theyhave a small indoor area and an outdoor area. Will definitely be going back.
