Root's Restaurant

This place has been here for as long as I can remember ( I have been here for 65 years). Most of the staff have been here for years. Many over 20 years. That in it's self should be a large blinking light that says we are in this for the Long haul. The overall dining experience will bring you back, and you most likely will bring a friend with you. Been in the same place since jump street. It is a clean, friendly family owned and operated. Menu keeps up with the times. Yet some dishes have been made without changes to it's preparation for over 70 years. Yeah baby just like grandna makes. Please try it, and see if it's a five star rating for you, bet it is;

Family Restaurant with a selection of down-home cooking and delicious desserts. One of my favorite stops for Friday's Fish Fry. The fish fry includes extra servings for the price which is good for take-home and for the budget. Root's uses a cod fish that is very flavorful. They also offer a selection of daily specials and the desserts include seasonal favorites. Service may be a little slow at times but the wait is worth it.

We were on our meandering way toward Columbus from the Hocking Hills area and were looking for a local restaurant for breakfast. I just happened to see someone getting out of their car in front of this older house that had a sign saying breakfast and something else. I had to find a place to turn around. Any way, the service was very friendly and the food was great. We also told our waitress about goetta (another story there).
