| - So we were told that the food here was amazing. I think the heat of Phoenix has gotten to some peoples head and good judgment. This review is based on the food only as our server was tremendous. He was very friendly and engaging and accommodating. He would get 5 stars. However, the food really needs to be tasted again. We had the roots BBQ brisket. These folks have never had good brisket. KC Brisket is still the best and then the others follow. This was not even brisket. It was like a fatty piece of cheap meat that you were told was brisket. The bark was barely visible, the taste was not desirable at any level, no BBQ taste and the quality of the meat was just terrible. The salad it came with was just so plain, a little extra veggies (carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers) would not hurt and be much more pleasing. I'm not a grits fan but I was told these were amazing. Just saying, I'm still not a grits fan. The server gladly replaced it with huge pieces of asparagus. They were not bad, just very large which takes away the tenderness and taste of the vegetable. Lastly, the brownie was a massive disappointment. It looked great, but tasted exactly like a flour-less cake. UGGGG! If it was not for the server, unfortunately on this visit, Grassroots would have received one star.
