We visited Grassroots on our first trip to Scottsdale in 2019. In my travel journal, I noted our meal there as our favorite meal of the trip. Fast forward to 2026, and I must say the same! The braised short rib with jalapeno grits and wilted greens was delicious -a flavor explosion in my mouth! My husband had the brisket and his only complaint-not enough grits! I think we need to visit Scottsdale more often! By the way, McKenna was a fantastic server and the crew there works together in harmony - everyone supporting each other like a symphony to make the customer experience the best from beginning to end.
