    Smokey 'Shrooms wrap with added tofu
    Katie G.

    Rock n Roots is absolutely delicious. I wish I had been able to try everything on the menu, but I started with the Smokey Shrooms wrap with tofu added. It was so fresh, delicious, and filling. Next time I am in town this will be my go to spot!

    Perfect veggie burger. Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger. Eating it there is a must. Absolutely awesome hot and freshly made.

    Stopped by again for my 6th bacon cheese burger and had it with lentil chickpea soup. Heart warming comfort food. So good.

    The Rock n Roots Salad
    Dante A.

    Solid vegan cafe with friendly conscientious service. Very tiny with just three small tables but good vibes all around. Rock n Roots salad was very pleasant, and the heart of palm "lobster" nori roll was a treat. Will definitely return whenever we're in the area. Pro-tip, ask for quinoa instead of wild rice. Nice softer texture than the rice and holds the maki roll together even better. I didn't realize when I ordered that the Lean green was pre-made. That said, it was also quite nice, not too sweet, not too vegetal in flavor. Nicely balanced for a green juice overall. @ Dina, thank you for the follow up! I did indeed order the Lean Green juice.

    Love Rock n roots! Everything is so delicious and made with care and love. Staff are fantastic, so helpful and kind. I love going up to the fridge before I leave to pick out my desserts and deli style salads. The jackfruit salad has my heart! Reminds me a bit of chicken salad. Overall such a great place to come to eat and relax.

    The food still good, however, I stopped going there, based on principle. When I started going there I was given a rewards card that said "free meal" after an x number of visits. When I finally got my free meal I was super excited, I Placed an order and when I showed my card, the cashier deducted only $5 , I was confused and asked, why are you only deducting $5 when the card clearly said "free meal" she went and talk to the owner, the owner came and said to me, "it's only $5 off" to which I replied "the rewards card clearly said "free meal " the owner had a bit of an arrogant attitude and replied back, "it's $5 off" she said something like there was a mistake on the cards. It was supposed to be only $5 . At that point I decided to pay for my food and leave. I should have walked away but I decided to do the right thing. Unfortunately, the owner didn't as she refused to honor the rewards card. That left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame because the food is good, the costumer service not so much! If you have a rewards card program, then it should be honored, whether you made a mistake or not when ordering the cards. This was an incident that happened awhile back. I'm not sure if they still have a rewards program or not as I haven't been back.

    It's hard to find quality vegan, Gluten free food sometimes. Thankfully I discovered this place! The service is amazing, they had a customer service issue and resolved it quickly and appropriately. The space is smaller but they have tables inside and outside. I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu.

    Spicy Chicken Wrap
    Bianca C.

    I got to visit Rock n Roots today and the following is my experience. The location is located on the corner and there is street parking available. Upon walking in, there are three tables set up to the left ready for dining in. On the right there is a fridge with all kinds of goodies ready to grab and go! They have Juices, Seamoss, Desserts, ready to go chickpea tuna and more. The place is clean, has great lighting and an extensive menu! I did inquire about catering and was told to email them for a catering menu which is great to know for events. I was told they are able to cater additional items that aren't listed on the catering menu with advanced notice! I wanted to order a few different things that caught my eye. They have a good menu to choose from & they do have daily specials which I encourage you to check out! I ordered (2) spicy chicken wraps 6.5/10 $12.75 each The wraps are a good size and that's actually the first thing we noticed! They are filled with plenty of lettuce, tomato, carrots, and a "spicy" chicken. It is very fresh and does have a good taste however it does lack some sauce/dressing it really needed something to blend all the ingredients together. We actually felt like we were eating more of a salad than anything. The chicken was not spicy. Unfortunately we did feel like the flavor was lacking here. 1 spicy chickpea tuna sushi roll 8/10 $8.75 Now I am a sushi lover regularly so I just knew I was going to get this item for sure. It was also very fresh, inside it has chickpea, carrot, sriracha and cucumber. On the side it comes with this cute container that holds the soy sauce. This for me was good although there was sriracha I didn't get much of that. However if you are looking for something fresh and tasty try it! 1 Loaded carrot dog - Saturdays Special 10/10 $3.25 Ok this Loaded carrot dog is AMAZING!!! Honestly we were shocked on how tender the carrot was. Definitely will be getting this next time for sure. It's topped with Sauerkraut, pico de Gallo, dijon, ketchup & aioli. The combination of flavors and texture are truly amazing I say order it and get 2! Dina was one of the staff members that assisted us. She was attentive, kind and generous. Thanks to her we had 2 cinnamon crumbles which are Gluten Free $3.50. Firstly they are a great size, sweet, wholesome and a great way to finish your meal. I absolutely can't wait to come back and try some other items.

    Rock and Roots is my TO-GO for lunch and dinner for work and home. I have made it a point to try a different item on their menu each time I order and it's always the same amazing feeling !!! They are truly amazing. They have super friendly customer service and food is always deliver in a timely manner . If I could give them 10 stars I would!

    Black bean and lentil soup
    Ed J.

    Went back again with my wife who wanted to try their food. We split the black bean lentil soup. She had a burrito and I got the portobello burger this time. All great choices and delicious. Thanks again!

    THIS IS THE NEXT MOVEMENT! If I had to pick 3 words to use on my first time here today (2/1/24) I would say "that's Fk'n Delicious!" My wife found this place from Yelp and I was surprised to see this place existed in Mineola. My usual spots were either Japanese ramen spots, Mediterranean, and God knows I hate salad. As a new vegan I love cooking my meals and rarely spending money on outdoor dining. But I'd drop money just to eat here. The ambiance is chill and I met Dina who was absolutely adorable and kind. The prices are good compared to many vegan spots. The food flavors are phenomenal and not bland. My burger cheese was not however top notch but it was amazing to say the least. I'm a cheese snob so I just had to be honest. But this burger was not dry at all. We ordered the Thursday loaded fries special, white bean soup, I got the sweet bean burger, and my wife got the Avocado Toast. And we got dessert. This place is clean and parking is not hard to find. They are also going to host a nice Valentines event. I love rustic restaurants with humble beginnings. And I can tell this place will be around for a long time. I invite all my vegans across the NY state and nationwide to try this place. Tell them Mick sent you. I'm coming back for more that they might ban me from coming lol 10 STARS this place deserves all the love.

I was alone and despite being semi-crowded, there wasn't a wait. This place definitely gives a hole in the wall vibe and that's what I wanted. There are plenty of "brunch vibes" in Long Island and that's not what I was looking for today. Service was super prompt and the food came quick, less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Mexican omelette which was eggs, shredded chicken and oaxacan cheese. I expected the chicken and cheese to be cooked into the omelette - it was actually an egg omelette with the chicken and cheese folded inside. No complaints though; when I had enough eggs, I was able to eat just the chicken. It was well seasoned and not doused in cheese, which I appreciated. Note to self: no sour cream next time. It was unnecessary. The omelette came with a side of home fries. The home fries were the perfect mix of soft and crispy, with onions and peppers. They tasted great. It also came with toast and I added avocado, and made avocado toast... YUM. I had an iced coffee on the side. Nothing special about the coffee- not good or bad. They had almond milk and sugar-free vanilla... yay! Lastly, I took a sausage omelette with sweet potato chips to go for my son and he loved it. I would definitely come back.

Very centrally located in downtown MIneola by the entrance to the LIRR train station. Very close to NYU Langone Hospital. I have known about Chef's Corner for years and I am embarrassed to say that I have not sat down for a meal. Fairly easy parking with plenty of meters on the same street and just around the corner across from the train station. Plenty of light inside with all the windows and when it's warm outside, they open up to the two garage doors in front. We met our friends here who are regulars and I was really looking forward to this breakfast. We definitely sat and talked for a while sine we were celebrating my wfe's first day of retirement. Orders: - Three eggs over easy with well done bacon. - Farmers's Omelette: Scrambled eggs, sausage, peppers, onions with potatoes. - Two fried eggs over very hard (dead) - - Pancakes with al kinds of goodies on it. (see photo) We finished off with AMAZING homemade coffee cake. The same coffee cake that Mary Ellen (The owner) donates to our Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast. Everything was perfect... All cooked EXACTLY how it was asked for and everything was tasty-delicious. There is a reason why this place is the buzz of MIneola. GREAT food and a GREAT team. They have it all!!! I will be back... a lot! KUDOs the team at The Chef's Corner

After getting the cauliflower rice base the employee started dousing my warm bowl in salad dressing. I quickly spoke up, since I had wanted my dressing on the side, and she took the bowl and moved it under the counter to try to selectively scoop only the parts of the cauliflower with the dressing into the garbage. I could hear my bowl literally hit the side of the garbage container. It grossed me out when she then tried to use the same bowl and just scoop in a bit more cauliflower rice to replace what she'd scooped out. I politely asked for a new bowl, and the idle male employee standing next to her started making facial expressions indicating that he thought I was being unreasonable. She ended up giving me a new bowl -- but then putting almost no cauliflower rice in it to "punish" me for not wanting a bowl that had touched the side of a garbage can. Keep in mind that my warm bowl with the cauliflower rice upcharge came to over $17. I will never frequent that particular Chopt again.

For my order I went with a trio of tacos - al pastor, coconut shrimp (both of these were listed as signature items) and the crispy fish. The Al Pastor was the best of them, but overall the tacos were on the sweet side probably due to the condiments and additions of onions and corn that were pickled. Glad they have hot sauces on the table to bring need heat. I got a side salad with this - I would say this is bit of afterthought lettuce with 3 pieces of cucumber and tomato each there wasn't much to it. I tried the Carne Asada bowl - again a bit on the sweet side, but they give a good amount of food. They use a cheese blend and I think one of them is a parmesan because it tasted a bit out of place.

It took me a second, but I placed that it reminded me of a discontinued Entenmann's cake that I think was maple walnut iced cake. If you remember that and miss it then get this.

The steak was dry and the taco was just not moist enough to eat happily. We had a side of nachos which was great and also the street corn side as a dip was also delicious. The jalapeño poppers had a good crunch, however, it lacked any spice at all and tasted almost like a regular fried green pepper. Even though we ordered out, the ambiance seemed nice inside and also kid friendly. We may return in the future to try other menu items.
