Root Zero 3,

609 West Fir Road, Carthage, MO 64836

"My family and I went tonight I have never been to this place before. My first experience was good the staff was very friendly and curious. The place was very clean very open and welcoming. Now for the food the food was amazing the meatloaf was delicious along side my favorite thing I had was the ribs I felt like it was the most amazing thing I had tonight The salad was good and fresh The Chinese rice and chicken My son enjoyed the fish I’m not a big fish eater so I’m taking his word for it lol and he also got chicken strips and the noodles from the Chinese side he said it was really good that he wants to come back again I’m saying you should give this place a chance good food and for a reasonable price I will definitely be going back"

"We were excited for this place to re-open again, but the quality of the food seemed much worse than before. The buffet selection was limited, some items were barely lukewarm, and the flavor was either lacking, or just plain awful. Even the soft-serve ice cream was gross and didn't taste right. Sadly, we will not be returning to this place. On a better note, the waitress was friendly and the bathrooms were clean, but based on a near-empty dining room on a weekend, I don't expect this restaurant to last for long."

"We are so glad to have Root Zero 3 back! The food was hot, fresh & tasty. (Possibly the best hand breaded chicken tenders ever!) Our waitress was fantastic, the entire place is super clean and the ambiance is priceless! Perfect for a nice, relaxing family dinner."

"So glad this place has opened back up after being closed for years! The food is just as good as it was years ago. The quality is surprisingly good for a buffet! My favorite item on the buffet has to be the General Tso's chicken, with the fried fish coming in as a close second! They have a good salad bar as well. Their cookies on the dessert bar were fresh baked!"

"One a positive note...the women's restroom was clean, the waitress was friendly, and the establishment appeared clean. The salad tasted fresh. Now, the rest of the story...the fried foods seemed to be saturated with over used grease. The rice was super sticky and cold. The rolls were sitting out way too long as well as most of the other food. It just wasn't fresh. The desert bar had apple crisp that looked like it was left over from lunch (we were there around 7pm). I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a good meal, but $32 for a less than mediocre meal is unacceptable. They may have a good, fresh selection at lunch. Dinner was terrible. My stomach started rumbling before we left the place. Look closely at the photo of the apple crisp. Look fresh?"
