Dinner here was very good. I had fried pickles, and the pepperjack ranch chicken sandwich with garlic parm wedges. The chicken was succulent. If my whole meal was based on that alone, dinner was a 10. I enjoyed the chili and ranch dips for the pickles too. The pickles were crispy too!

Just visited this place. We haven't been here in a couple of years. I wasn't happy to with the quality of the food when they first opened. I have seen many good reviews so we decided to try it again. The atmosphere due to the architecture is loud and booming. We could not even hear each other talking across the table . The restaurant used to have the most outstanding blue cheese dressing. I actually bought a gallon from them, it was so good. Not anymore. I ordered the pork medallions. The menu stated it was pork tenderloin. It was not. They were gristly, like pork chops and were way overcooked, dry and about two inches in diameter. Three only, so small and dry they were a joke. The lemon pepper rice had no lemon and no pepper and were presented cold. They did bring me a steaming bowl to replace them but they still lacked the lemon and the pepper. The steamed broccoli was room temperature. I ordered grilled onions and mushrooms to go on top of them and did not receive them . However, my husband ordered the 12 oz ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. This was the only redeeming factor. I do not believe we will be back. Oh, we just left and the Right side of the double doors was locked. Only the left one opened. I believe that is an Indiana code fire law violation. If it's not it certainly should be.

The food here is delicious. The service was excellent considering there was 13 of us. My friend spilled red wine on my white pants. The bartender was very helpful to give me a cloth and soda water to try to get the wine out before it stained. We will definitely go again when we are in this area.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming but the service was subpar. She interrupted us talking to go to her other table to give them their check (and talked to them for a few moments?), didn’t stay up on our drinks, and made multiple mistakes with our drink and food order.

Must visit! Looks are deciding, in a good way. Great food and drink options excellent flavor and cook on my steak. Mashed potatoes are delicious and homemade. The little things even stand out, like homemade ranch dressing. I only come to town once in a while, but will eat at Roots Eatery and Pub very time.

Not being local to the area, it was a complete surprise to find this establishment while planning the dining activities for a day in the Remington area.

Roots is not like most eateries you find in small town Indiana and it's immediately apparent there are aspirations for big things to come upon taking a seat and laying eyes on your surroundings and the diverse menu.

Nick was exceptional in his attentiveness and well-honed dining service skills. He provided several menu recommendations which may have actually made my decision all the more difficult but not in the bad way.

Ultimately, I settled on Fried Pickles (a must whenever I find this on the menu), 9oz Sirloin, Yukon Mash, and Green Beans with Bacon. I usually prefer my fried pickles with a bit more batter and crispiness but they were still delicious and I never realized I liked them with sweet n sour dipping sauce until it arrived alongside. The steak (medium) was on point and had a nice crust on the outside while still being very tender and juicy. I will say I'm not a big fan of green beans prepared in the fryer or sauteed but I knew it up front and ordered them anyway (because who doesn't like bacon 🥓). The Yukon mashed potatoes were rich, buttery, and smooth with the texture of some soft bits to highlight they are made from scratch.

I am so very glad to have come across the hidden gem that is Roots and hope to find myself in the area again for another fantastic dining experience!

Excellent prices. I had a rare steak dipped in A1 and a baked potato and rice. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The bartender was super nice. Absolutely one of the friendliest places I've been in forever. Will be back again, probably tomorrow.
