    Sweet Jesus! This place was soooooo good. We stumbled on here actually when where we were planning to go was close. From the entrance, the hostess was friendly and kind. We were quickly seated and almost immediately greeted by our waiter. The food was phenomenal! My husband and I are both from the islands and have come to expect subpar jerk food at best however this place outdid themselves. Literally our new favorite spot in Deep Ellum. The drinks were phenomenal and the service even better. To top everything off, there are some cute backdrops in different parts of the restaurant that make it Instagram worthy. 10/10

    An incredible experience- highly recommend the cornbread, deviled eggs, halibut, and lamb pasta, but I can assure you there are no bad options on the menu. The service was exceptional and warm- wish we lived closer so we could experience this on the regular. Thank you Roots Southern Table for a memorable dinner that we will be talking about for years to come!

    My wife and I go to Wildwood weekly, usually for the Tuesday special of two complete dinners for $25. While the menu for the special is limited, all four choices are excellent. My wife is happy to have the pecan-crusted almost every time, but I have tried them all. The mashed potatoes are extraordinary - the best I've had anywhere. This visit we decided to try the steaks. We each ordered the filet for $37. It was easily comparable - perhaps even larger - than similar steaks costing more than $50 at high-end steak restaurants. The service is prompt, but not rushed, and the waiters are knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. Altogether, it is a delightful experience every time we go.
