Always a great experience at Grass Roots. The food and service can’t be beat. Steve, our server was very attentive and pleasant. We were celebrating a birthday and received a delicious pumpkin pie with whipped cream and a birthday candle. The pie was made in house and are available for purchase along with many other varieties. A great idea to keep in mind for Thanksgiving.
