They weren't busy for a Friday night. Service was good, food and drinks were delicious. Took food home with their chocolate cake that's ridiculously good. Great value, and the food is on point!

Sweet Jesus! This place was soooooo good. We stumbled on here actually when where we were planning to go was close. From the entrance, the hostess was friendly and kind. We were quickly seated and almost immediately greeted by our waiter. The food was phenomenal! My husband and I are both from the islands and have come to expect subpar jerk food at best however this place outdid themselves. Literally our new favorite spot in Deep Ellum. The drinks were phenomenal and the service even better. To top everything off, there are some cute backdrops in different parts of the restaurant that make it Instagram worthy. 10/10

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!
