We have a short list of “will come back multiple times”, but this one was just added. First, if you could encapsulate my grandmother in a restaurant, this is it (except she would have judged me getting wine instead of sweet tea). The service was exceptional. Super attentive and friendly staff. Wine list was top notch. And the food… we started with the cornbread. I’ve had cornbread so many times that I really didn’t know how you could knock it out of the park with this one, but they did! We also split the peach salad which was a great, fresh Texas way to start the meal. My husband and I got two meals and split them both - I got the scallops which were melt in your mouth perfection. He got the Texas red fish which sat on this crawfish dirty rice that really transported you to that Texas/Louisiana border. Dessert was an orange cake (really delicious), but the star was surprisingly the German chocolate cake. Rich, but not too rich. Moist. Absolutely delicious. If they had peach cobbler on the menu, it would have been perfect. On the atmosphere, it was upbeat… it’s on the louder side and the tables are somewhat close (but not too close)… so depends on your likes but we were still able to carry on a conversation and hear one another just fine. Great experience. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Cool southern food restaurant. I went for my ladies sisters bday and they did a good job. We got a bunch of things to share and it was quite a good meal. The sweet potatoes were quite good, I think they could have been a little crisper but they were very good. The garlic herb butter made them super fragrant and it was probably my favorite thing. The chicken was also great, especially the thigh. The breast was kinda dry once you get past the crispy batter, but otherwise it was great. Im not a greens fan so I didn't like them. The corn was was exactly what you would expect. Unique edition was the strawberry compote on the side. The Cajun dishes we got were good but average to me. I've lived in Louisiana so im kinda spoiled when it comes to Cajun food but it definitely wasn't bad. All around a good experience, the staff was nice and attentive. Also a cool atmosphere with a all glass outdoor seating area. If i get a chance to visit again I would get the ox tail because it sounded good.

Good experience. We had the oxtails, lamb chops, German chocolate cake, peach summer salad, and sweet potatoes. My favorite was the sweet potatoes by far. Whatever they seasoned those with will keep me coming back. The lamb and the oxtails were decent. Cake was good quality. Salad was refreshing. Service, phenomenal! Very professional, they knew recommendations based on cultural backgrounds, and very caring.

We had such an amazing time here celebrating our anniversary. The food was phenomenal, the service was impeccable and it was so great to see chefs in the open as you sit at your seats. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a special dinner and with a bunch of flavor. My only quick feedback was it was a little loud, and super cold, recommend turning down the air just a little. Parking is a bit challenging, but not impossible.

I would give 20 stars if I could! The food is downright phenomenal and you will not be disappointed. Outstanding meal at Farmers Branch Roots! Our server Trey was absolutely phenomenal - attentive, knowledgeable, and made perfect recommendations. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Trey’s timing and service were flawless throughout the entire experience. We’ll definitely be back and will request his section again. Highly recommend!

My husband and I decided to stop by on a Sunday evening and everything was amazing. Because we didn’t have reservations we were sat outside which was perfectly fine. I believe our server was Shelby and when I say she did an amazing job. She did amazing from beginning to end. Everything we tried was great but some of the portion size didn’t match up to the price, especially for the fried green tomatoes which were $20 for two tomatoes but the flavors made up for that. Also my husband wanted chicken but they only served the family portion which was pretty pricey for chicken, $56 to be exact. Being that I don’t eat chicken, I didn’t feel it was worth spending that amount. The cornbread was everything. Overall a must try experience because that’s what you are paying for.
