| - We had an amazing experience at Grassroots. Came in on a Friday evening, with reservations (although not really needed) we sat outside. It was a chilly evening but the heat lamps and enclosed patio kept us warm and comfortable.
Our server was ?Angie?, I think, she was super cute, tiny and had short hair. She was very friendly, happy and had great explanation of the menu and food.
We started with a dirty martini and traditional Moscow Mule (not their version of Moscow Bull which add red bull) My husband had a couple as he thought they were delish!
Our apps were the prosciutto wrapped asparagus and the pork belly. Hands down, the best pork belly I've had in a while. Greasy, tender and melt in your mouth! The spicy tomato jam and toast points were a perfect accompaniment to the pork, although I swore the tomato jam was Apple Butter but none the less AMAZING! The asparagus was jumbo and when I say jumbo, I mean huge! Tender, salty and tasty.
Our entrees were the shrimp and grits and chicken/ribs combo.
The shrimp and grits were delicious. Spicy grilled white shrimp with creamy cheddar and fresh jalapeño grits. Was spicy but not overpowering and left you wanting more and more! My only wish is that the grits were slightly runnier and not as stiff, nonetheless, delectable! Have you ever been to Brenda's in The Tenderloin in SAN FRAN?? They have the best shrimp and grits in America (personal opinion) but Grassroots is giving Brenda a run for her money!
The rotisserie chicken and baby back rib combo came with the sweetest baked beans, those were my favorite in the plate. Re ribs have a light, not overpowering BBQ sauce. Tender and fall off the bone. The chicken had good flavor but was slightly dry for our taste. We subbed shoestring potatoes for the coleslaw. The potatoes were super crispy and perfectly salty. Yum!
Couldn't make it to dessert as we were completely stuffed to the max! But I did ask our server if I could try the garlic vinaigrette and champagne vinaigrette as a 'dessert'. I could have drank the garlic vinaigrette, sweet and garlicky with hints of herbs. I can't wait to go back and order this dressing on a salad.
We had a great experience here! Some of the negative reviews on friendliness may be true. I saw two servers who were completely blah and underwhelming at their tables and barely could look anyone in the eye. But not out server, she was fantastic! We will absolutely be coming back!
