Roots Southern Table

The duck fat-fried chicken at this low-key but elegant Southern restaurant in Farmers Branch is so amazing you’ll randomly think about it while doing the dishes weeks later. But you’re missing out if you don’t also try the gumbo and jerk swordfish, packed with delicious Creole and Cajun flavors. Dinner at Roots Southern Table works for just about any occasion—just make sure you come here with someone who’s down to split it all and still consider dessert. After you’re done, walk a few blocks over to check out Oran Good Park.
