We had dinner @ Root & Barrel prior to a show @ the Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center. Menu was diverse & vegetarian friendly. Draft beer & wine list very good. Our server, Grace, was terrific. A bit loud, but an excellent dining experience.

The food was good, but our servers seem to be moving at warp speed, and we felt like we were being rushed out a little bit. We also were unable to get the bread basket refilled.

Family lives nearby and we are from out of town. We chose Root & Barrel because of the ratings, as well as the photos. Loved the wait staff, the bourbon drinks and the spot on cuisine. We highly recommend dinning here.

Found Root + Barrel Kitchen on our family vacation trip to Franklin, NC. Great setting and atmosphere. There were only two waitresses working the entire restaurant but they did a great job making sure we were taken care of. We all had burgers and they were delicious. We definitely would recommend.
