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.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

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.
