Wonderful atmosphere. Pleasantly greeted by happy staff. Best burger in a long time.

I can not recommend Rustic Roots enough! From the drinks, appetizers, entrees, atmosphere and don’t get me started on the desserts! It’s an absolute delight start to finish. Amazing servers, bartenders and the owners are just the best! Chef Nancy has perfected the ribeye and you are doing yourself an injustice if you go and don’t order it! Hands down Rustic Roots is our favorite restaurant ever.

We had a wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner. Our waitress was friendly and fun. The service was great! The food was amazing. We had some of the best crab cakes I’ve ever had, the tomahawk steak was cooked to melt in your mouth perfection, and the brown butter cake was incredible! We will definitely visit again. Well worth the money spent for a wonderful meal in a more relaxed atmosphere.

You would not expect such a fine dining experience in the middle of nowhere. Outstanding farm-to-table experience with elevated food and a cozy rustic atmosphere

over priced for the area but when your the only game in town. The wife loves the dessert. Foods not bad. Unfortunately its rare to get a seat without reservations because they reserve every seat in the house even the bar.

Place is always busy because it’s always good. Quality is fresh and choices are all tasty. The food demands the set prices!! Our portion size was more than enough!! Jaclyn our server was attentive and on the ball!! My wife and I Love this place!! The bruschetta appetizer was awesome and my chicken fried chicken was delicious. My wife had the wedge salad with chicken, great. And we finished it of with the brown butter cake and ice cream, so good!!

The food was excellent, much better than I expected. Service was definitely 5 star. Very relaxed decor, and I would and have recommended this unexpected gem in a little known location.
This was our first time here and we will be back. The service was spectacular and the food was absolutely delicious.

Poor rating due to being turned away and misleading website information. Not on quality of food, service or staff due to not even getting to dine here. On their website it states they have a limited number of reservations that can be made, the rest are walk-ins that are welcome. We walked in at 5:06pm (they open at 5pm) and were told we would be unable to be seated at all that night. They were not taking any walk-ins at all that night because it was so “busy”. However there were multiple empty tables and the bar was practically empty. She said she had reservations for the whole place the whole night. Even if we waited we wouldn’t be seated. I asked if we could wait and she said no, they were booked the whole night. So no we were not welcome to wait. We drove 1 hour to try this place, and 1 hr home with no dinner. They should change the website to say reservation required and/or walk-ins can be turned away so people don’t waste 2 hours drive. If there was any warning on the website at all that you could be turned away I would not have wasted 2 hours of my time driving, gas milage, all of it for an empty stomach and then have to go home and cook on top of it all just to be turned away- I would NOT have not gone and just waited for a night when I could make a reservation. All this could have been avoided if they were honest and upfront on their website that walks ins can/will be turned away if it’s busy. Also how can it not be reservation only if you try and walk in and are told that the whole place is reserved for the whole night and be turned way? Again we arrived 6 min after they opened. It’s misleading and a terribly way to treat customers. They are literally out in the middle of nowhere so most people have to make a trek to get here and then to be told you can’t wait, you won’t be seated but they are not reservation only and walk ins are welcome is a joke. Be aware if you try and walk in. If you really want to try this place you’re better off waiting for a reservation or, like me, you’ll make the trek and be turned away based on misleading information, waist 2 hours of your time gas mileage and a very disappointing date night. I won’t be attempting to come here again because of how lame this whole experience was. It all could have totally be avoided if they were honest about their business practices and don’t mislead people. I wouldn’t mind having to wait for a reservation, but the fact that they jerked me around leading me to believe walkins are welcome when they really aren’t makes me not want to support a business like that. Also there is nothing else around.

Surprisingly good restaurant in the middle of nowhere (very small town of Bunn). Food was good and the service staff was excellent. Would definitely recommend go back

I was poking around looking for interesting restaurants in the Raleigh area and this little farm to market gem popped up on my search. A 30 minute drive from Raleigh to Bunn later and we had a fun meal at Rustic Root. Cocktails were on point and the food was great. Definitely recommend trying the fried mushrooms and the pesto gnocchi! Ribeye steak was solid and probably the best baked potato I've had in some time. (The simple things done right should not be underestimated.)
The BEST!!
