The Grass Roots Kitchen and Tap opened around December 2014 but sometime in October of 2018 in the Town and Country Shopping Center in Phoenix. This location of The Grassroots Kitchen Bar and Tap got renamed The Macintosh. The Chef and owner is still the same Chef Christopher Collins. The menu offerings are very similar. They offer weekend brunch, sharing plates, salads, sandwiches, entrees. Some plates have a southern comfort slant like Shrimp and Grits, Barbecued Beef Ribs and Po Boy Sandwiches. The Macintosh also offers Beers, Whiskeys, Cocktails, Wine on Tap and very well made Pies. The decor looks pretty much the same. Casual American.
Today I picked the Salmon and Orzo Salad.
The salmon is moist and flakes nice. I like that the skin and bloodline were removed. The salmon is a good meaty portion with nice grill marks. The salad is made of orzo, arugula, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, apples and pickled onions. It’s filling and tasty…I normally don’t care for buttermilk dressings but this buttermilk pesto dressing is delicious.
It looks similar to a Salmon and Salad plate I had last time from The Grassroots.
Today my husband had the Southern Shrimp and Grits.
The shrimp were cooked nicely. Grits are creamy and tasty. All the food from The Macintosh or when they were called The Grass Roots was Delicious! No Complaints here!
Below are some of the plates we enjoyed before the name change. I’ve also been here for a more formal dinner but I couldn’t find those pictures….. I didn’t have room for dessert today but be sure to view the pies because they are among the best in Metro Phoenix.
The Key Lime Pie is extra special. They hand squeeze FOURTY key limes into each pie. I think this Key Lime Pie is the best Key Lime Pie I’ve ever tasted.
If you were a fan of Grassroots Kitchen then you will be a fan of the Macintosh in Phoenix.
I’d say the Macintosh is Worth a Fork!
