The Root - Elon

The special burger was delicious! It's a combination of meat, mushrooms and goat cheese. I couldn't tell from the texture that there was anything other than meat in the patty. I added bacon and was quite happy with my lunch.

Stopped in for a quick lunch today and I’m not quite sure what was in the air but it seemed everyone was in a sour mood today. When walking in we approached the host stand. We waited there about 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. They weren’t too busy but we understand things happen. Fine. We are seated by a younger man. He was super pleasant. We were greeted afterward by a young lady who took our drink order. She grabbed our drinks down and we never saw her again. Another lady stopped by about 15 minutes later to take our food order. I honestly felt like I was disrupting them by being there. My daughters and I felt uncomfortable throughout our dining experience because of how no one wanted to speak or smile. It was very strange and felt like they didn’t want us there. we ordered the truffle fries and unfortunately did not care much for them. Just our preference as we did not realize that it came with melted cheese. The rest of our food a bit to come out, but I will say it was delicious. The brussels sprouts here are off the charts and I thoroughly enjoyed my grilled chicken salad. Unfortunately our service overshadowed our food and I don’t think that I’ll come back.

Fried tomato BLT and crispy brussel sprouts were both delicious!

Food and service were excellent. Big plus was that the AC was not turned up so high that it was cold in the restaurant.

I had a very good burger and trimmings here… very good !! There was a wait but I will wait for good food. It’s a little pricey but worth it.
