About The Ginger Root

The Ginger Root offers a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional food. The prime rib is a standout dish, with a rich flavor and reasonable price. The homemade potatoes au gratin is also a highlight, with an unbeatable flavor. The restaurant offers a range of drinks, including the Virgin Pina Colada, which is highly recommended. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food was great, hot, and good quality. The fried country low boil was very tasty, with plenty of shrimp, sausage, and potatoes. The cluster of crab legs were awesome. This is some of the best food eaten in Alabama and worth the drive. Everyone at the table raved about the food.

They could have more gluten-free options but they just need to make sure they keep separate oil and utensils.

My boyfriend and I had our second visit to The Ginger Root on Friday, October 3, 2025.
We were not disappointed - it was better than our first visit. The braised ribs and shrimp Fettuccine were delicious. The food was creative and excellent.

We were a little disappointed that we did not get to see the smiling face of Keshia Hall (the owner). We had just missed her. She makes the dining experience seem so very special and personal.

We, once again, had the delicious...read full review
