The Root Cellar - Batesburg

Wife and I stopped in today for late lunch. Kenzy was our server and she was great. I ended up ordering the lunch special and my wife had the Spinach Salad...both were very good and filling. Topped it off by splitting a slice of carrot cake. Was an enjoyable time out from a hectic day. Very good meal, service was exceptional. Will be back.

Absolutely delicious lunch! Highly recommend the Southern Egg Rolls!Vegetarian options: Black bean burger available!

This was a great restaurant. The food was amazing, had live music while we were there. Will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: We got the veggie plate a d fried green tomatoes with some chicken strips. It was all very good.

Very nice and quaint restaurant with a nostalgic feel. The menu is quite extensive. Since we were there for lunch, we ordered an appetizer of the deviled eggs. 6 on a plate with bacon bits on a lettuce bed. Very salty, not particularly tasty, with maybe some curry seasoning? Would not order again.We ordered Cobb salads because of an article in our local paper showcasing a beautifully presented Cobb salad loaded with favorites like chicken and in this case pulled pork. How utterly disappointed we were when our salads arrived. The pulled pork was maybe two forks of a thin wisp of meat. There was no chicken tender(s). Chicken was almost non existent. There was maybe one whole tender cut up into 1/2 inch chunks. Same with the avocado. Instead of 4 or 5 beautiful slices on top as they showed on the newspaper, there were just maybe a quarter of an avocado cut up interspersed in the iceberg leaves. Truly a bait and switch. Very disappointing.We also had a burger that contained a fried green tomato, some type of sweet jam and bacon. It was good, served with red peas, which needed more flavor. I would not return for a Cobb salad, but maybe a try of something else. Too bad I don't have a picture of the salad I received as a comparison to what was advertised in our local paper. Like night and day.

This is a really nice location. Great to see a real restaurant in a small rural location. But there is no need to get all boojie about it . The food was ok but the prices felt high for what you receive.
