    Omelette meat lovers
    Shan H.

    I'm not sure why it took me so long to visit this place--though I'll admit the name initially gave me pause. In this case, however, "Roots" turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Roots Café is a small, inviting spot in North Richland Hills that serves genuinely fresh food every day. And by fresh, I mean not pulled from a freezer and reheated--actually made fresh. I didn't get the chance to try the French toast that our server, Kate, highly recommended, but she still guided us toward options that matched exactly what my friend and I were looking for. The omelet was well seasoned and well prepared. I ordered pancakes as a substitute for the French toast, and they were excellent--impressive given that I normally don't enjoy pancakes due to their usual baking-soda taste. These were balanced, flavorful, and something I would order again without hesitation. The Roots Sandwich was also reported to be outstanding, with each bite hitting the mark. Overall, Roots Café exceeded expectations and is absolutely worth a return visit. By the way parking lot is free and has ample spacing. And inside is spacious seating of about 50-75 customers. .

    Kim was awesome. This place has the BEST service ever. The staff is awesome and the food is great. Definitely recommended for breakfast or lunch.

    Veggie Plate with Steak
    Elo S.

    Came here for brunch today with my family. Don't judge it by the exterior- or the interior. The food here is definitely a level up. The food, the presentation, not only of the food but also the staff. It's like fine dining but at home. I had the veggie plate with steak and I loved the variety. Zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and a variety of fresh micro greens. I wasn't asked how I wanted the steak but that's okay it was perfect for its setting. My kids had the breakfast plate with pancakes and it was a pretty big plate with small pancakes that are perfectly fluffy. My husband had the chilaquiles made with a Guajillo sauce. No heat. I prefer my chilaquiles with a lot of heat- inferno, but that's just a preference. I heard customers also raving about their chicken fried steak which I look forward to trying.

    Breakfast 4/11/25 Over medium eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit, wheat toast, & coffee. Hubby's pancakes are peeking in as well.

    Updated ... 4/11/25 We went back for breakfast again. Loved our breakfasts again! And, we were greeted by the chef who wanted us to try a new dessert he had created ... the churro cake. OMG that was so full of flavor, warm & gooey yet firm & held its adorable lil' bundt shape. The sauce he drizzled over it paired with the dusting of cocoa & powdered sugar enhances the flavor a bit more. We will definitley order that next time we visit. 4/5/25 We went back for dinner! Dinner is served Friday & Saturday from 4:30-9:30pm. After we previously visited for breakfast we knew we wanted to try their dinner options. So, Friday night we arrived at 4:30pm to get an early start. I ordered the crab cakes & calamari. My husband ordered the lamb chops. As usual the platings' artistic flair could not be beat. Everything was delicious! The crab cakes were delicate, flavorful, & filling. They had very little filler & loads of crab with green onion (that was new for us, but we enjoyed the fresh addition). There were 3 sauces. One was a homemade tartar sauce & then there were the pretty little dots of green & red which were a bit spicy but so very tasty with that crab! The lamb was seasoned & cooked perfectly. My husband was extremely pleased. I am not usually into lamb much, but it really was very well done. The garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed zucchini & spinach, & rosemary sauce were all lovely as well. And those edible flowers add such a fun pop of color to the dishes. 4/4/25 We found this little gem, & are very happy we stopped by. The staff was friendly, attentive, & quick to serve. The prices were terrific with filling portions. The food was fabulous! We seriously enjoyed every bite. The potatoes were crisp on the outside & soft on the inside, crispy bacon, eggs done right, & the unexpected fruit with pretty little flowers added a sweet touch. My over medium eggs were cooked perfectly (thankful for this as a lot of places undercook them). My husband's pancakes were fluffy & my toast was also perfectly toasted. The coffee was strong & flavorful just like we like it. We are excited to go back to try their dinner options, & we'll definitely be back for breakfast again soon!

    Always good! I recommend the chicken fried steak with brown gravy and sunny side up eggs or fried eggs, and the steak and eggs!

    I saw this place open along my route to work. I work at a local cat cafe right around the corner, and we aren't allowed to sell "restaurant" food there because there are animals, but we frequently get visitors looking for such. Sometimes they'll ask for recommendations for where they could go instead. And from now on, THIS is the place I will tell them all to go to. The food is AMAZING, beautifully presented, and the wait times and prices are extremely reasonable. Our waitress, Heather, was super friendly, and my friend and I really enjoyed our experience overall. Make sure to get the loaded fries. They are so SO good.

    The inside is clean and bright. Great food and friendly service. Wide variety of dishes. And it's BYOB.

    Food needs to be hotter in temperature. I have been there 3 times and it's always barely warm.

    Got a project across the street so decided to give it a shot. Gotta say my U Dirty Dog was fire!…read moreWas a little skeptical as I always am at trying new places to me, but uncle gezza(I think that was his name) was super friendly. The glizzy was fire and so was his strawberry lemonade with strawberry bobas! If you're in the area give it a go, you will be surprised.
