Rooted and raised in the South, Chef Jeff McInnis grew up with southern comfort food and hospitality in his blood. His partner, Chef Janine Booth, hailing from Australia, brings with her a true passion for uniting people through food. This power couple already boasts several successful restaurants across the country and the Caribbean, with numerous accolades including three James Beard Award nominations. They are thrilled to be opening their fourth Root & Bone here in WNC.

Service was excellent. Thanksgiving buffet was ok. POTATOES were the best part of the meal.

First time visit. Everyone from reception to waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely wonderful. Happy hour was on when we got there; half off whiskey and whiskey cocktails. My wife saw the first listing and didn't have to look and farther: Ziggy Stardust Old Fashioned. She had 2 and loved them. We had the Gooey Sweet Corn Souffle to start, then moved on to the Fried Chicken, which we ordered the Heirloom Carrots and Grits as accompaniments. Last we had Banana Pudding Creme Brulee. The entire meal was fantastic. We took home half the chicken and sides. The price for the carrots and grits was a little high, especially when it was probably about 1.5 accompaniments carrots, but they were still worth it. Can't wait to come back!

Back dining room by kitchen was loud and cold. All the yummy spices on trout were placed on the skin and not the meat. Meat loaf was warm, not hot. Corn soufflé was the high light of the meal.

We had a great time at Root & Bone....Chicken and Biscuits are always good as was the Ribeye. Server was just "right" very attentive but not overbearing. Ambience was exceptional

Another excellent meal at Root and Bone! The fried chicken and a side of waffles were so delicious! My husband loved his ribeye and said it was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed a wonderful summer squash appetizer which “tasted like fall” as well as the brownie skillet dessert! Amazing ambience, service and food! We will be back soon!

We had a very good experience before but this visit fell short. The trout was served skin side up with all the prep appearing on that side. The other side was mostly bland and tasteless. The broccoli side dish was barely warm enough, tough, and uninspired. Dinner salad and grits were very good. The staff were outstanding but with the food shortcomings, it will sadly cause us to look elsewhere.
