Some how ended up in Elon, Nc last night and my date found this spot. Such a great choice. I loved the atmosphere. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and attentive. Food was great and cooked exactly how I request (Well-done lol).

The Root was a very nice experience. The booth are very high so you can feel separated from others eating in the restaurant. Since we were on a date night that was very appreciated. Food was cooked well by the chefs. Great atmosphere, great food, super nice staff. If you are in the Elon area, I would eat here. We will definitely be back!

Food is wonderful. A little frustrated with checking in with young lady up front. Not very friendly and took our names for wait list. Didn’t share how long it might take. Didn’t smile!

Great lunch. It was highly recommended by our Elon tour guide. The kiddo loved her burger, and my salad was fantastic. It was a busy lunch, and a little hectic feeling and loud.

My family and I came in the night before Easter 2022 right before closing time. We are from the Raleigh area. One of us are vegetarian, one on the keto diet, and the others eat the normal American diet. We were all pleased and satisfied with the choices as well as the service and the prices. We had great service even though it was the end of the night. The fried Brussels were a little too overdone for me and the waitress later told me to ask for them to be “fried light” next time. That is one thing to keep in mind if it’s your first time visiting. Our night was topped off with the most kindest act from a stranger! An older couple paid for our entire meal and my family and I would like to strongly express our gratitude! Thank you for your kind gesture, it helped us a lot and we left that night with big smiles and happy tears! May you be blessed! ❤️

Delicious food. I ordered takeout for myself & my family. I got the blended burger (beef & mushroom) with goat cheese – loved it. The Brussels sprouts were amazing! The mac & cheese was a bit of a miss… could use more seasoning & cheesy flavor. Will definitely be back though!

We liked it. A decent choice when we visited Elon University. Not rushing back but we would certainly be happy if we found ourselves there. The food was a touch heavy and quite salty but you might expect that with shrimp and grits.

We were passing through the area and didn’t want to go too far off of Rt85 BUT the 10mins to downtown Elon were worth it! Saturday afternoon. Kindly greeted & seated immediately. Server was courteous & efficient. We didn’t need to ask for refills b/c she was on it! Fried cauliflower appetizer disappeared as soon as it was put on the table. My boy loved his mac & cheese and my girls split a fish sandwich w/Brussels. Adults had ginger shrimp wrap & fish sandwich.

I ordered lunch a little bit ago around 2:40 in a rush and didn’t realize that they close from 3-5. I got to the restaurant to pick up my order at 2:50 and was told the time on it for pick up was at 5:15. The taller brunette that helped me was SO nice and asked the kitchen to make it anyway. It was my oversight and mistake and they still were gracious enough to make it and didn’t complain. I know I would have been a little irritated if I were in their shoes but they never once acted that way. I really appreciate how kind all the staff is every time I come in and how great their food is, but I especially appreciate their grace for me today! If I could recommend one thing off their menu it would hands down be the island Caesar chicken wrap!

Excellent fried Brussel sprouts. Sounds awful, tastes fantastic. Maple salad with island chicken is the best salad I’ve found. The Root burger is delicious. Yet to have a disappointing entree.
