One of Scottsdale’s most underrated restaurant gems is Grassroots Kitchen & Tap—a family-owned and -operated eatery that serves an expansive menu of lunch and dinner options daily. Grassroots tempts with a from-scratch menu of classic Southern-influenced American cuisine, polished service-first style, and a friends and family-focused vibe. The casually upscale eatery prioritizes farm-fresh, organic fare with quality ingredients that you can taste. Christopher Collins—the Grassroots Kitchen & Tap chef—is a fourth-generation restaurateur, and the founder of Grassroots and Twisted Grove Parlor & Bar. After graduating from Boston University with a degree in hospitality management, Collins was recruited right out of school to join Hillstone. Collins' passion for food led him to launch Grassroots Kitchen & Tap, which was officially founded in 2011. His extensive industry experience has helped him to garner an unparalleled reputation in food and hospitality, as well as an impressive instinct for cultivating spaces built on flavorsome dishes served in an authentic environment. Beyond the food, visitors can also enjoy an extensive menu of craft beers and wines—which are available on tap—and signature cocktails that are served in a distinctive atmosphere that’s complemented by colorful Americana artwork and expansive dining patios. The eatery offers a daily Social Hour from 3-6 p.m., which features signature cocktails and appetizing bites like Common Ground Burrata and Pork Belly PB&J at affordable prices.
