Customer Reviews
I am a local but this was my first time at Taproot, it was delicious, I will definitely go back soon. I had the Signature Short Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and garlic roasted green beans. I’ll admit when the food came out, I thought I was going to leave hungry, but it really was plenty of food. I also started with the appetizer they had in special, some breaded mushrooms with rooster sauce. They were good, but I was wishing I would have tried the Calamari. The server was so friendly and great. Pretty too. ;) The restaurant is on Merchant Street in downtown Decatur, one of the coolest streets in Decatur with lights stretched over the street.
Had a great dinner here. Definitely recommend the salted caramel white Russian. Apparently this used to be a jewelry store, and the wooden bar is beautiful.
Absolutely amazing! The freshly baked rolls are served drenched in melted butter. The perfectly cooked butcher's steak, served with twice baked potato and roasted garlic green beans, was one of the best meals I've had in a restaurant. Edit: I've been back a few more times. The short ribs are excellent. The drunken pork chop was just average, not much flavor from the bourbon and maple. Probably one of the best cups of French onion soup I've had. The hot rock appetizer is incredible.
Me and my husband go to taproot and eat dinner occasionally and EVERY SINGLE TIME HAS BEEN EXCELLENT! All around good service. Last night we went and Ally was our server and she was pretty awesome! Definitely recommend 10/10. Definitely worth the money spent! Will be going again very soon!!
Came early on a Saturday night (5pm). First off, our server was great- friendly and attentive. I’m sorry I didn’t make note of her name. She was especially accommodating with our 3 year old. Although TapRoot has high chairs they don’t have a written kids menu but offered fried chicken or mini corn dogs. For the adults we ordered the lobster-stuffed mushrooms (which were tasty) and the cheese curds (which had a great dipping sauce). For entrees- the burger (it was O.K.) and the crab-encrusted cod (which was NOT worth $27 and only had about 50% of the cod “encrusted.”). We tried one cocktail which was average. The brownie dessert was cooked in a skillet and ended up being dry, but very chocolaty. Overall a pleasant meal but a little pricey. Also note they do NOT have a changing table in t
