★★★★★ 5.0 Josh B · Nov 2025

We stopped in for dinner at Home Town Roots and had an amazing experience from start to finish. We began with drinks at the bar — the gin and tonic was perfectly balanced, and the wine selection was absolutely spectacular. For dinner, we tried the salmon patties with loaded mashed potatoes, and I honestly didn’t know that combination could taste that good. The salmon patties were phenomenal — tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also had the fried catfish served with balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts and French fries, and I can confidently say the catfish was as good as any I’ve had throughout the South. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with everyone in great spirits. A special shout-out to Jax and Austin behind the bar — they were attentive, friendly, and made the whole

My first time here, and I must say I'm very impressed! We got seated and waited on withing 5 minutes, and the place was full of customers! Our order came quickly and our waitress was great! She kept our drinks full and our table cleaned as we finished up our plates. You get large portions so you won't leave hungry! But leave some room for desert, as the have some great banana pudding! As well as other choices to pick from! It is family friendly! Has very clean bathrooms! Is located next to the river, and has some beautiful views down there! Well worth the trip we made here!

We had a delectable meal at Hometown Roots last night! I had the shrimp civeche with their homemade chips. The shrimp dish was so refreshing and I loved the herbs added to it. Our server was the BEST! He was a jolly guy with a beaming personality and kept our drinks filled, and attended to our every need! I wish I had asked him his name. (We told him about a different restaurant and the bad experience we had there) My husband and I took the key lime dessert home. It was a very special dessert! I’ve never had any key lime dessert that was this great! The attention to detail on the dessert was impressive. Even the mint leaf had edible gold on it. Simply amazing!! Hometown Roots, you have it all!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jamie Born · Jan 2026

We had a great dinner at Hometown Roots in downtown Henderson; a cozy, Southern-inspired spot that feels both relaxed and thoughtfully put together. The atmosphere was genuinely lovely: warm, inviting, and perfect for a date night or an easygoing evening out. Our server, Skylar, took good care of us. Friendly, attentive, and efficient without hovering. Solid, professional service, which I always appreciate. The cocktails were a standout, well-crafted, balanced, and clearly made with intention. The food overall was good and full of bold Southern flavor, but I’ll be honest: several dishes leaned noticeably salty. Not a deal-breaker, but enough to knock it down a star and something the kitchen should be aware of. All in all, Hometown Roots is a very nice venue with a strong vibe, good drin

This restaurant is fantastic. Eclectic choices I chose turkey and dumplings it was off the charts delicious. I'm traveling so I don't live close to this restaurant, but if I did I'd eat here once a week!!
