Root & Bone in Indianapolis is a delightful gem for anyone craving Southern cuisine! 💖

I recently tried the black rice risotto and short rib meatloaf, both of which were superb. The heavenly biscuits were just that - heavenly! The atmosphere boasts a trendy industrial feel, making it perfect for a casual dinner or a special evening out.

Our server, Gisselle, was attentive and offered fantastic suggestions like the drunken deviled eggs. 🍳 Reservations are recommended, but we snagged seats at the bar without a hassle.

With great food and friendly service, I can't wait to return! 🎉

I recently enjoyed a delightful brunch at Root & Bone! The atmosphere is cozy and trendy, with beautiful decor that adds to the experience. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits - unique flavors and beautifully presented. The fried chicken and waffles were tasty, but perhaps a bit pricey at $21. Overall, a nice spot worth a visit! 😊
