TapRoot: Reviews & Ratings
Good food. Good service. Charming atmosphere. Great little place for dinner! Good idea to make a reservation.
The food and service here are exemplary. We are quick to review places away from home but often forget to support those places in our home town. Taproot always provides good food, drink and service. I typically go with the skirt steak and vegetables.my husband vacillates between the fried bluegill or the pork chop. He loves both. Open for dinner Wednesday - Saturday. Cocktails are perfect too.
Food all tasted great and was cooked to expectation, our server was knowledgeable and friendly, and the ambience was nice.
It has lovely decor and is very well designed and clean. The food is good and reasonably priced. I love to eat here for special occasions.
Great food! Went there for a company dinner and everyone was completely satisfied. Will be back.
Service and food are top notch. Atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. I was in town visiting for work and wanted to eat here every day because the food was just so good!
