My favorite is the Chicken Melt with the Classic style chicken salad on a crescent, and a fresh cup of fruit.
Always made fresh and delicious.
They also have the best egg salad sandwich!
Friendly and helpful staff.
The restaurant and tables are always clean.“

“I recently visited His Place Eatery while in Indianapolis and decided to try something a little different — the grilled collard greens and cheese sandwich with sweet potatoes, plus an additional side of collard greens.

The collard greens grilled cheese is a great and creative concept. My only concern was that the greens were a bit too juicy, which made the sandwich soggy. Because of that, it’s probably not something I would order again personally.

That said, the food overall was very tasty, and the flavors were on point. The collard greens and sweet potatoes were well-seasoned and enjoyable. I appreciate the creativity and soul put into the dishes.

The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, making it a good spot if you're craving traditional comfort food.

I'll most definitely revisit and try other items on the menu!

“Our first time here, short wait time, our waitress was great but the food! It was delish plus and so fresh tasting… I recommend the sweet potato chips and made fresh to order guacomole… we had the street tacos, chicken with mango salsa and spiced street corn ! It’s an hour and a half drive but one we will make again!“

“This was our first dining experience at Root and Bone, but it definitely won’t be our last. Our party of 4 started the the BLT small plate, which featured a delicious, perfectly cooked fried pickled green tomato, topped with pimento cheese, a piece of pork belly, and a luscious tomato jam. We also tried Grandma Daisy’s angel biscuits, which were substantial biscuits served with honey chicken jus, sea salt, and toasted benne seeds to be added as desired. Entrees selected were the chicken and waffle (served with bourbon maple syrup and the most AMAZING hot honey/Tabasco sauce. The shrimp and grits (with fantastic tomato confit, andouillle sausage, and sinfully delicious beer jus), short rib “meatloaf” ( shredded and compressed into a rectangular shape and char grilled, which all at the table tasted and salivated over), and the cedar plank salmon served with the most tasty thyme and lemon rice casserole (which was surprising to both females at the table as to the amount of lemon but was absolutely divine). A huge shout out goes to our server Imani F, who was knowledgeable, personable, and very good at explaining exactly what we were being presented with as she served us. First class all the way!“

“If you love light lunches without having to grab a salad, this is definitely a great place, especially if you love chicken salad. They're variations are impressive and it's very tasty! The inside of the restaurant is so adorable. Very girly! Service was top notch and we'll definitely visit again“

“I have autism and some textures are weird to me, so when you discontinued the turkey pesto I stopped coming because I can't tolerate the texture of the rest of the menu. The only reason this review got this score is because the person I came in to get food for was super happy and the staff was amazing. The fruit cup that I recieved did look really good though.“

“chicken here is the best!“
