Reviews
This place deserves your attention and patronage.
I had only just noticed it about 3 weeks ago, but I never investigated until now.
I was hungry when I saw a menu sign out in front of the place as I was driving away from visiting a bar across the street.
I floored my truck and did a super cool, screeching tires, “Fast n Furious” style u-turn, and pulled up in front of the place! (kidding about the reckless driving part)
If you blink, you might miss it as you drive down Wisconsin Street in Elkhorn.
It’s kind of “nondescript” and doesn’t exactly scream, “Look over here! We have delicious food, libations and a super chill atmosphere for you to enjoy!”
Apparently, it works for them.
They’ve been in this location for a few years already, so maybe they don’t need to be big and flashy. I’m just sorry that I didn’t know of Roots & Rocks until now.
Even though it’s only my first time here, I really wish there were 10 stars to give.
The atmosphere has a warm and inviting vibe. High ceilings and dim lighting chill your soul to level “Mello”.
There’s a plethora of hand crafted art pieces hanging everywhere that will keep your eyes entertained throughout your visit here.
Some of which are available for sale, as well.
There’s only 1 television behind the bar too. So, if you’re looking for a night out for cheap beers with your loud “sports” peeps, this isn’t your place.
The vibe also gives a feeling that it would be a great place for a relaxing “date night” with your significant other.
There’s a full bar with a decent liquor selection and some choice crafted cocktails available.
So let’s talk food.
The menu is simply done. Heavy craft paper held together by a piece of straw string. Nothing fancy, just natural feeling.
The print was a little small for this dimly lit place, but I’ll bring my readers next time.
It’s naturally focused on fresh ingredients and, as they put it, “..bringing a contemporary twist to the classics we all love”.
To the taste buds, “fresh” really does make a difference.
I ordered the smash burger with bacon and Havarti cheese. They had my heart at Havarti! It’s one of my all time favorites.
This is a cheese option that you don’t see at many places. The smooth, creamy havarti marries the fresh ground beef together in a loving union of harmony.
Let’s talk bacon.
I had to break a little bit off at first to see how it was.
It was crispy and flat. Just how I like it. But it wasn’t tough and crunchy in your mouth. It almost melted on your tongue, but still let you know that it was bacon.
Not to go overboard, but it was magical!
For my side, I chose the tater tots.
I was a little apprehensive at first because they aren’t exactly my favorite thing to eat. The tots that I’m typically exposed to are the over fried and over flavored with oil kinda tots.
Not here!
They had a crisp outside and a warm, tender potato center as you bit into them. No deep fried oily taste. Perfection, in my opinion.
The portion size could have been a little better on the tots, but i’m not complaining.
I didn’t have dessert, but there was something on a sign called “Death by chocolate”. Cake or….? I honestly don’t remember, but we must try it!
Pricing. It’s on the slightly higher side of life, but worth every delicious penny they charge!
Of course, the service was top-notch, charming, and friendly.
If you’re looking for a real “hidden gem”, this is the place you’re looking for!
You can tell that they love what they do here, and it shows.
I highly recommend checking this place out. A great experience overall!
I’ll definitely be back soon to sample something else from their menu.
