Our table is your table

A family grille, and a community staple.

Southern Roots Grille is a family-owned spot just off Highway 50 in Holly Ridge - the kind of place where the regulars have a usual and the coffee gets refilled before you ask.

We're a little ways back from the beach, which is exactly the point. While the island fills up, there's a bright, easy room here where you can sit down to a real home-cooked breakfast, good service, and food made the way it ought to be.

Folks come for the bacon, biscuits & burgers and stay because it feels like somebody's kitchen. Pull up a chair - you're family at this table.
