On our way back from Nashville, we stopped in Birmingham for brunch! After a bit of research, we decided to give this spot a try. One of my friends, who went to culinary school and is a chef, helped us explore the different dishes on the menu. I tried the duck hash and French toast—both were delicious! I loved the ambiance, especially the balcony with views of downtown. A nice surprise was that the chef came out to introduce himself, which made the experience even more special. The only thing I’d love to see improved is the entrance to the building.

This place was recommended by the manager at my hotel. She gave it such great reviews I had no choice but to try it. I must say it did not disappoint at all. The first thing that popped out was the braised rabbit omelette; it was cooked to perfection with full flavor. The R&R omelette gives you a nice take on a traditional omelette but not your basic everyday style. The steak omelette was a weekend menu item packed full of flavor, perfectly cooked mushrooms and sautéed onions, and the steak was juicy to say the least. I added crab to my shrimp and grits to give it a bit of a twist. There was some sort of red creole sauce on top that really helped all the flavors gel; another dish that did not disappoint. The food was great, the atmosphere was nice, the staff was friendly and attentive and I hate it was raining because I would’ve enjoyed the balcony and city views. The chef even came out to speak to our table personally which spoke volumes. I highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be back soon to enjoy more of their menu! If you haven’t tried this place yet go ahead and make your reservation; you won’t be disappointed. (Restaurant parking in the rear of the building on 16th St N)

The service was second to none and the food was delicious as well! Every course and item we tried was amazingly prepared. Very impressed by the team at Roots and Revelry. Perfect for a date night or work dinner alike. The mushroom herb risotto was the best risotto I've ever had! The filet was cooked perfectly to order and delicious as well. Great bartender, waitress, hostess and chef! Atmosphere is beautiful as well. 10/10

Visited today for birthday brunch. My third visit. Did not disappoint. Several specials on the menu- we ordered two of the three. The shrimp creole omelette was fantastic! Cocktails were also spot on.
The space itself is very unique and keeps us coming back. They have a fantastic patio. Today a couple was having their wedding photos on the patio which was so nice to observe.
Servers are always so pleasant and helpful.
Read a few reviews about the price being a little higher than warranted but I respectfully disagree. Seafood was fresh and other sides were scratch made. The prices seemed reasonable for the value.
Will absolutely be back for a fourth visit and looking forward to dinner soon!

Great first experience here! The staff was incredible and the food was even better. I went for brunch and it’s a must try in the Birmingham area! The cheesecake French toast is to die for.

Outstanding food, unique atmosphere, and friendly staff. The general manager was friendly and quick to introduce herself and check in on us. We can’t wait to go back for dinner. Our brunch cocktails and food was top notch and a step above the typical Sunday brunch.

We had our first experience at Roots&Revelry last night and it was wonderful from start to finish. The cocktails made by Zachary were amazing and Amber’s service was excellent. We had the Flounder Roulade and Beef Confit pasta and finished with the local peach bread budding. We loved the unique Caesar dressing and the arancini was great. We will definitely be back.
