Rooted Rotisserie is ALWAYS a yes. The food, service and ambiance are consistently great each time and I have never left hungry or disappointed. I usually come for dinner (specifically for that chicken) but this was my first time attending their monthly brunch. Selfishly, I would love to see a chicken biscuit on the menu but every bite we had was delicious. They also have unlimited mimosas and the pricing is very decent considering the portion sizes and quality of food. The decor always feels like coming home to your auntie's house. I LOVE ROOTED ROTISSERIE!

Rooted Rotisserie has been on my list forever and it did not disappoint. It's an intimate neighborhood restaurant with a diverse menu. I went in right after they opened and sat at the bar. I would definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to sit in the dining room. My service was great and everything came out quickly. The food was very fresh and the options are great for sharing. I had the half rotisserie chicken, Mac & cheese and broccolini. All delicious and highly recommended.

This place is so cute and delightful!! It feels like you're eating a meal at an older family member's house. I got the smoked mushroom bowl and it was flavorful and filling. The mushrooms and Brussels sprouts were the highlight and the balsamic glaze was a nice touch. The only let down was the rice. It wasn't cooked well and I'm a harsh critic of rice because I'm West African. My friend enjoyed her wings and fries, and the portion of fries was huge! We both had to take boxes home for our leftovers! The service is top notch and I wish I remembered the server's name to give her a shoutout. She interacted with us like she was a friend and shared honest feedback about the menu options. I highly recommend this place! Black owned

Passion Fruit Possett
Bilal Ahmad Farid J.

Anytime I have a day off from service, I like to explore the menu of things I haven't tried or want to retry. This time it was simple, just desert nothing else. This play on the traditional lemon posset is chef kiss, with the whipped softness of the posset, to the medley of crunch and flavorful burst of the coconut shaving, passion fruit seeds, ripe blackberries & blueberries. Such a balance of sweet, tart and tropical citrus. Some things don't need to be rocket science, but one small change can open a window This is one for the books, a must try w/ or w/o a meal I sat at the bar yesterday , one of my favorite places to go when I go solo or with the homies. Music was great as always. Service was great and chef stopped by as well to shine some light on history of the pastry. Money well spent

Top Lady

I'm actually upset that I didn't know about this restaurant earlier. Everything - and I mean everything was superb!! That chicken?! Oh my goodness. It was marinated to the gods!! The owner came over to our table and told us that all their chicken is marinated for 24 hours, and boy, does it taste like it. I think this was probably one of the best chicken I've ever had. And I can't forget about the broccolini and mac n cheese! The mac was so creamy and cheesy, and it was sprinkled with bread crumbs. Before I got my meal, I had a cocktail, the Top Lady, and I really enjoyed that too. I'm already excited about my next visit!

We have heard great things about Rooted Rotisserie and as pescatarians have not made our way since they are known for chicken. But that was a mistake. They had plenty of pescatarian options. Now I feel silly for waiting. The place had a home vibe and loved the family decor. We got sat near the kitchen which I am always welcome to since I love the process. We got the Cesar kale salad, charred shrimp, mushroom bowl, Mac and cheese and a side of bread. We loved everything! The Cesar had a little too much anchovy taste for me, but it wasn't bad. I'm just sensitive to it. I wouldn't have traded anything we got. The owners were there and came over to each to table to ask how everything was for our dinner. I love this place and it truly is what Baltimore is about. Good food, good people, and good times. We will be back. Also that chicken did look like the best chicken I have ever seen.

Rotisserie chicken

The wings were delicious. There was a spicy sauce and a taziki type sauce that accompanied the wings. I ordered the special Denver Steak with Risotto and Swiss Chard. The steak was tender and the risotto was perfect. Risotto is hard to cook. When the plate came I couldn't help but smile. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Cute place across the street from Hollins market. Amanda one of the owners was there speaking with customers. We sat by the wall with both she and her husband's family.

I started with a lemon drop that was perfectly made--bright, smooth, and not too sweet. The house Caesar came in a very generous portion (definitely shareable), and the Maryland crab dip delivered on flavor. The parmesan truffle frites? A moment. That white truffle aioli really did its thing. For mains, the rotisserie half chicken was comforting and satisfying, but the pan-roasted salmon stole the show--easily the highlight of the night. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for elevated comfort food in Baltimore.

Mushroom Bowl
Keisha R.

Rooted Rotisserie is a local neighborhood gem that deserves all the attention and accolades it gets. This is for a January 2026 visit. From the family style decor that makes it feel like home, to the fresh flavors and music...it really felt like I was dining at my aunties house. The server pacing was a little off but I was thankful for the notice that I was grabbing the last salmon. I would have liked a little history about the dishes. The food was quick to arrive & warm. Delicious, cheers to the chef. I have and will continue to go back because placing my dollars in the hands of my community is always first!!

Came back and was so happy I did. I hosted a few women in the area for a dinner so the stakes were high because I gawked over how good Rooted was on my first visit. They did not disappoint! They had a little name tag and our table was ready when we arrived. As always, customer service felt like home. The staff is so kind and relatable, I'm not sure how to describe it but they're down to earth, personable. As said before, the location is cozy, warm, it feels like you're at an aunties house for dinner. I will recommend Rooted until my lungs are blue.

Smoked mushroom bowl
Toyosi O.

We had a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes for the table to be cleared, which I appreciated because they didn't rush to kick out the previous guests. The host and our server were very kind, I let them know it was my friend's birthday to see if they do anything for birthdays (they do). Our food came out at a decent speed and it was GOOD! When we entered the restaurant, it smelled amazing so I knew the food wouldn't disappoint. Even without the sauces, the chicken tasted fantastic. Overall, I would come again and try different items off the menu.

Half chicken and frites
Jess L.

Good food, good prices, beautiful restaurant, great drinks, service a little questionable. Came with a reservation on Saturday night which I definitely recommend. There's tons of street parking out front - it is metered but ends at 6pm. My husband and I split a half chicken, a side of fries and a Caesar salad. We also each got a cocktail. The chicken was delicious, skin was crispy and chicken was tender, really a special dish. We got the truffle aioli dip which we loved. The fries were crispy and plentiful. The Caesar salad I think had real anchovies in the sauce, which I know is traditional but it's definitely a unique taste! Cocktails were delicious too. Only negatives were some service issues: it took a long time to get water and be greeted by a server after we were seated. Then, we placed cocktail order right away and they didn't come for until after our food came (which we ordered later). Very strange and a poor flow for food/drinks. The bar seemed backed up so this could have to do with it but for a Saturday night, that's prime time. Overall we had a nice time, the food was priced reasonably and there's a few other dishes I'd come back to try!

Mac and Cheese
Chris D.

I didn't have any expectations coming in and left with an extremely positive feeling! Just a great vibe all around. Good music and the ownership group is extremely warm. We got the half chicken, pepper steak, Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. It was all amazing. We felt the need to get the chicken because of the name and it did not disappoint. The skin was crispy and the meat was extremely juicy! There are no sides, but they come with a variety of sauces. Get the pepper sauce!!!!! We got the the pepper steak. I was thrown off but it was still great. It's my fault, but it is actually a short rib. Very filling and the portions are huge. GET THE MAC AND CHEEESE!!!!! So good. It's a creamy Mac and cheese with a nice top layer crust. The portions are huge. I would recommend sharing! It's a great way to try everything. Would come back again just to even hang by the bar. Great music and decor.

The first round of brioche crostini came with unexpected mold on it and when I informed our server, he took it away and brought fresh slices out. The foie gras and fig jam was quite tasty and played well. When I tell you this sea bass was cooked to perfection! I mean just that. The meat was flaky and solid with the outside perfectly seared! The risotto was very rich and I wasn't a big fan however I forced myself to eat it with the fish and it was perfectly paired along with my asparagus for the ultimate bite. I would come back just for the sea bass any day!

The flavor was perfect and the crab very sweet. I enjoyed it with their Pear & Blue salad $14 which was a nice mixed of greens, a poached pear with blue cheese crumbles and candied walnuts. It was very agreeable. I did not plan on enjoying dessert until he said lemon bar, "Yes please!" The service was on point and I would definitely visit this local restaurant again if travels bring me to Baltimore. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

The dining room is beautifully appointed, intelligently lit, and the menu has varied options. I'd definitely come back for a full meal.

When we arrived, we were seated right away, but it seemed like there were very few staff working--possibly only one waiter. It took about 10 minutes before we finally had to flag him down just to place our order. The food then took around 25-30 minutes to come out, which felt very long since we were on a tight schedule for our flight. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, and unfortunately it was the worst mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't want to be mean, but it was very bland and really needed salt. My sister surprisingly liked it, but it just wasn't for me at all. The rest of my family did enjoy their meals, and I thought the fries were decent, just lightly seasoned. My mom especially liked the grilled cheese. The waiter himself was nice and kept our drinks refilled, so I don't think the long wait was entirely his fault. The restaurant is very cute inside with cozy, old-style vibes and festive Christmas decorations, which I really liked. However, between the long wait times, the limited menu, and my disappointing mac and cheese, I wouldn't recommend that dish. Overall, it's a charming place, but the service was too slow for us--especially when trying to catch a flight.

We came to check the restaurant out on a Thursday for restaurant week. While some things went good…read more Other things unforunately missed the mark. What went well: Though there was only one waiter who also was serving as the bartender, the service was quite good. She checked on us a few times and kept us informed. What missed the mark: Food: Though there was only a few people in the establishment, it took over 45mins for us to get out appetizers which were shrimp cocktail and spinach artichoke dip. While they tasted good seems like a long time to wait for these ideas. When our 2nd course came out, they were both cold. We both ordered the beef short rib with mash potatoes and carrots. The mash potatoes and carrots were literally cold with the beef short rib being lukewarm. At this point we asked if they could just wrap it up for us to take home as we had been there 1.5hrs at this time. I will say when I got it home and warmed it up it was quite good. Lastly for food they missed the mark as they kept running out due to delivery/pickup options we were told. Seems crazy to me to keep filling takeout orders if you already offered it to those sitting in the restaurant but hey. Not sure we will be back but we may give it another try since the food at least did have a good taste.

We did have to…read morefind the door (like most speakeasys) but once we called, one of the staff (gosh, I don't remember his name) met us on our walk to flag us in the right direction (green flag 1). Next was the entry: nice music, nice ambience, beautifully decorated (green flag 2). The green flags just kept coming. We had such an amazing time eating and talking the with staff, that we took very few photos. The bartender/server/comedian/all around cool human, Symphony, was AMAZING!!! The Owner, Monica, came over and talked to us. We told her that we drove in from DC, just to be there that evening. I had a smoky Bourbon Bloom, the truffle frites and cognac wings-delish! My two sisters had the restaurant week specials that came with a meat, two sides and dessert; they both cleaned their plates. This never happens! There was nothing left on the plates or in the glasses! 50/10!!! The whole situation was just a really cool vibe! We will CERTAINLY return! 3 entrees, 3 drinks, 1 soda around 188$ with 18% gratuity included. Let me just double say, these wings alone are worth a return trip! I have NEVER had wings that tasted like those. But that team, the team is TOP TIER! Sooooo good!

Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.
