I got the El Jefe with the works, I didn't know what that meant but he proceeded to squeeze half a lime, put half an Avacado, a couple different sauces, pita chips, and started mixing it all in with the regular stuff that bowl comes with. All of it was amazing and I can't wait to try more things but idk I loved that one so much I may just get the same thing. So hard to choose, deff stop by if you want something fresh and packed with flavor! Puts Kava and Chipotle to SHAMEE!!

I love Roots Natural Kitchen. It's a good spot to get a wholesome fast casual meal. My go-to order…read moreis the Balboa bowl. You have to get this, it is SOOO yummy. I've tried their other bowls like the super yummy El Jefe and a spring special bowl (blanking on the name). If you don't want to get one of their signature bowls, you can always build-your-own. I usually am a build-your-own girlie, but something about the way they do it at Roots you want one of their signatures for sure. It has a similar flow to a Cava or Chipotle. They serve grain and salad based bowls here. They people who work here are always sweet too. I highly recommend getting a yummy meal from here. I always have leftovers.

My server did a fantastic job and made sure that was taken care of. Why did the food fall short? I ordered the Velvet burger and added bacon to it. My server how I wanted it cooked, and I said medium rare would be fantastic - it came out medium well. If asked for my preference, that is my expectation. The burger toppings were tasty, the French onion sauce was very salty, which was a lot by the end of the meal. Bacon was cooked perfectly, I actually chose to eat it separately. I got the fries that came with the burger and they were not great. Soft and soggy is how I would describe the texture. I did get a side of the French onion sauce to dip fries in, but didn't eat the fries and left the sauce due to its saltiness on the burger itself. I should've went with my first thought and gotten the Roosevelt Sandwich - next time I am in the area, I will give them another shot with a different strategy. Cheers!

Only street parking is available, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The atmosphere: Very rustic vibe with some farmhouse-style decor. They have table, high-top, bar, and patio seating available. The food: I opted for the Chicken and Waffles with a side of cheese grits. I chose to make it hot for more spice. It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

They also have a little grocery section with a good selection of wine, beer, chocolates, and other basics. They also have a good variety of menu of options that can cater to plant-based folks like us - we opted for the vegan TLT and vegan mushroom philly and both delicious! The flavor profiles were pretty on point, but the sandwich bread really stood out - they had just the right crunch-to-soft ratio The staff are also lovely - they helped me pick from the options and were very knowledgeable about the menu - good vibes all around and definitely worth stopping by if you want to enjoy a casual meal with great food and drinks. Pro-tip: you can also order to-go and walk over to the Jefferson park to enjoy an easy picnic with a stunning view of the city
