Roots - Fried Crabcake Buffalo Cauliflower Bites - Beer Bar Near Me - East Norriton, Pennsylvania

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon before heading to the zoo. I ordered a smashburger and was really disappointed - by name I was looking forward to thin patties with caramelized edges. The burger was beyond normal, I probably would have been happier with a whopper from the burger king across the way. Service was good though and there's plenty of seating inside and a patio. The drunk was delish too. read more

Cool place. Came with friends. We all enjoyed our cocktails, I had the gin and jam and the Margherita both delicious! The Buffalo cauliflower, loaded fries, chicken wings, spicy chicken sandwich, falafel and Tuesday night tacos especially the short ribs were all very tasty. Service was excellent, we have already plan ge to return. read more

The food is good and the staff is very friendly. My go to the are the crab cakes and buffalo cauliflower (not a lot of breading which I love). They have a great beer selection. I tried the honey wing bites last week yum. Roots is a great local restaurant. Check them out. read more

Do my eyes deceive me, or did the Tuna Steak Sandwich disappear from the menu? I am devastated. Not only was that intended to be the highlight of my day today, it was one the best around. I'm in mourning as another restaurant drops my favorite. Ugh read more

Great local pub, the food is always good and the beer is spot on. Good burgers, salads, and Taco Tuesday is a great value.

Roots is a local gastropub, located in East Norriton. It has a hip vibe that you might find in the City. They have awesome appetizers, and offer a special price for happy hour. They have a great selection of beer and delicious cocktails. The food is fresh and prepared well. Prices are reasonable. Service is casual and friendly. Roots is becoming one of my favorite spots in the area. read more

Amazing food, fries are awesome. The bacon jam burger was so good. Friendly service and good beer selection.

Service at the bar was excellent. The food was also very very good. Creative and great flavor. Beer is top notch and they also crush cocktails. Go here and eat and enjoy life. read more

Roots calls itself a gastropub specializing in burgers, wings, tacos and a fairly deep craft beer list. When our first choice for an office lunch decided to close for a day, we quickly shifted over to this house with a reputation for food, brew and fun. One door closes and another opens. Such is life. The floor plan isn't large, and they couldn't put together enough tables to fit all of us, but we managed and had an enjoyable time anyway. I ordered a light meal - cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup and grilled Brussel Sprout appetizer. Passed on the alcohol. Service was efficient and attractive. While the soup was just adequate, with tomato and cream base and limited shreds of chicken and small thin tortilla bits, it had decent flavor and texture. The Brussels were all that they could be. Large quantity, nicely grilled with bacon crumble and light drizzled vinaigrette. Liked it, and shared it with another office dude, who liked it enough to take more. The bar sat along one wall, with well stocked back bar and a dozen or so draft beer levers for the crafties and a few national brands. There were a few people seated there who seemed to be satisfied with their view of the world. Didn't appear that couple intended to go back to work this Friday afternoon. Don't blame them at all. 3.5 STARS read more

Went to Roots for the first time this past weekend and I was blown away. The food and service were incredible. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower, short rib grilled cheese, ahi sandwich, smash burger, and birria tacos. Every dish was phenomenal! Highly recommend checking out this restaurant. read more

Good food, always changing the menu, apps are as expensive as main dishes. Avoid going on Mondays, we did last night and it's a shorter menu, "B" quality leftover food, the pork on my Cuban sandwich was 50% fat, had to pull it apart, extremely greasy. However we frequent this place and usually have a good meal read more

A recent visit was kind of a bust. Our server was fine but we got the impression we annoyed her when we said we didn't want to order our food until our drinks came. Maybe they wanted to flip our table and we were taking too long, I don't know, but we didn't think this was an unreasonable ask. That aside, the food was disappointing. The butternut squash in the butternut squash hummus must be in name only as it was just plain and bland, not to mention missing the crispy chick peas and included roughly 3 pomegranate seeds. The meatballs were hard, the eggplant was decent but the bread that came with it tasted stale like it had been in the freezer and then reheated and toasted. The goat cheese and apple crostini had the smallest amount of goat cheese and was very lackluster in flavor. My final gripe, we asked for a glass for my mom's beer and they handed her a warm glass. I know it's not a big deal but on top of everything else, it was just another disappointment. Sorry Roots, we likely won't be back for a while, if at all. read more

This place was wonderful, tucked away and we came to watch football. The food was incredible, we had the dip trio and it was well worth the money. Everything that was ordered was delicious and the portions were huge. We loved the fact they have a burger of the month and a ton of other specials. They also made the accommodation to change one of the TV's to the game we wanted to watch. The service was a little slow but it was a Sunday night, and we will be coming back! read more

Super Amazing staff and even more amazing food! Taken care of always and menu items are truly cohesive mind blowing! Fresh food and kitchen staff are inspiring read more

Love coming to roots! We're lucky to live just down the street from it and stop in from time to time. I always get the short rib grilled cheese because it is my favorite especially when paired with the poutine fries. Me and my boyfriend always get the honey bay wing bites and the dressing that it comes with is so good. My boyfriend usually switches up his order each time we go. He mostly goes for a burger but this time he got the pulled pork sandwich. He had a little trouble with eating it because it had a lot going on so he did have to use a fork and knife but other than that he enjoyed it! Great place for beers and good food in East Norriton. read more

Roots - Mimosa in the front. Long Island ice tea in the back - Beer Bar Near Me - East Norriton, Pennsylvania

The outdoor seating was nice. The waitress was amazing. The fried pickles are spears but very tiny and lots of batter. Ehhh The French onion soup was literally a bowl of au Jue with two slices of American cheese on top. They admitted as much. (I'm not kidding) Horrible. The meatball sliders were good. The fries and fried chicken were very bland. Tasted extremely floury no salt or pepper. I had to dump on hot sauce to make it eatable. I really wanted to like this place. Horrible food and it wasn't cheap. Sorry. Again the waitress was amazing. read more

Great drinks, good ambience, solid food. Food has definitely improved over the years. I do think they would start to rake in money if they offered 10-12 wings at a reasonable price (8 wings for the current price is not worth it). Area could use a good wing place with that type atmosphere. Wish they took advantage of it. read more

We've heard great news about Roots. Nonstop great news in fact. However, they didn't live up to the hype. The overall service was slow paced and it was just one thing after the other. ONE thing that was great...the food. A great restaurant experience is 50/50. Good food and good service. The latter wasn't great. What went wrong: -No plates or silverware given -Wanted a Ginger Ale...got a seltzer water -AC was either off or not working on 95 degree day -Soda we did get was flat -Plates we did end up getting were dirty What we snagged for food: -Wing Bites -Buff Chicken Dip -Coconut Shrimp -Pub burger (prob the best I've had all year...) I think we'll be back, BUT maybe chill at the bar rather than a table. Again, food was dope and if all came out hot. read more

Wait took a little bit, once we sat down with menus, we sat and waited about 10 minutes with absolutely no service. No word from a waiter or waitress. The table was empty next to us, and they were sat and received service faster than we were. We walked out. Never again. read more

It was our second visit to Roots and we really wanted it to be better. The place was busy, good energy inside and out. But our waiter lost us during the meal... sure the food was solid, but waiting 20-30 minutes for drink refills? Took us 40 minutes to get our appetizer. And the desserts are weak. It's a convenient location, but I struggle to recommend it given the poor service and poor dessert options. read more

A mixed bag. Liked the vibe and the staff. Wife thought the Brussels Sprouts were great, but was disappointed with the Chicken Tortilla soup. While the broth was good, the chicken was probably not breast meat and was not to her liking. She didn't eat most of it. My son had the Ahi Sandwich which he liked very much. The big disappointment was the smash burger. It was as if they dumped a gallon of their "special sauce" on there which made for a very sloppy affair. It was everywhere. The burger was also too big for the bun so eventually had to finish with a knife and fork. Did a number on my stomach too. I'd probably try Roots again, but I'd have to be in that area. Wouldn't make the drive. read more

This is my second time here this week. So pardon the double review. Night 1: Sat at the bar, good service. We ordered three appetizers, pork belly bites, calamari, and Brussels sprouts. They do their own take on them and they were all good. Calamari was fresh, pork belly bites were okay. For our main courses, I had the lollipop lamb chops. I really wanted the chicken pot pie, but the lamb chops were a Valentine's Day special menu. So I got the lamb chops. They were fantastic! Tender, succulent, very tasty. Accompanied by a mushroom risotto, my god! I didn't want to eat it all, but it was all gone. A member of my party had originally asked for linguini with clams, but they were out, so they got the crab stuffed salmon with tortellini. It looked great, and was indeed that. I sampled it (hey I was paying the bill ya know). Tortellini was good, I wasn't a fan of the sauce but the tortellini was good. The last entree was the fajitas. Because they were out of the T-none steak. Smelled great, chicken, steak, and shrimp. It was what to be expected from fajitas at a non Mexican restaurant. They were good. Night 2: Same trio of people. Sat in the overflow area. We waited about 10 minutes to sit, it's a Friday night, no worries there. We ordered some old fashions. Disappointed. Full of mini ice cubes, so it was way watered down. Just get a regular drink. I was here for the pot pie! Another was here for the T-bone. The other for the linguini with clams. No T-bone, but the filet that was ordered instead was really good. Tender, cooked perfectly (med-rare), potatoes were good, just an all around good meal. The linguini with clams, fantastic. Another dish all gone! No box needed. And I got my chicken pot pie. I saw it come out to another table and I was excited... I cut the crust open to this piping hot meal and noticed a surprise. Unlike other chicken pot pies I've had, it was not a pie! No crust other than the layer of dough baked on the top. Very disappointing. The filler was more of a chicken stew, with shredded chicken. This was a bowl of chicken stew with a piece of dough baked on the top like you would bake a layer of cheese on French onion soup. It tasted fine, just fine and not what I was hoping for. For the amount of time we waited to sit, then for the meal, not a good night tonight. read more

Great food and great service. The porch is lovely. Would certainly recommend for Sunday brunch.

Great food and service. Had a bunch of appetizers with a group of friends. My only negative was the noise volume was very high. Hi

Wish I lived closer, love the atmosphere, the wait staff was excellent and everyone enjoyed their meal. The prices are lower than most places, we will be going again whenever we are meeting friends in that direction. read more

I hate having to update this to 3 stars but we've given it several visits and it just has been so downhill. Sometimes the service has been great but the last time it was just bad. We waited forever for food while all of the employees including our server sat at the table next to us got their food and were eating. The food isn't as great as it used to be, the cocktails are just okay. The tortilla soup was just a salt bomb of greasy broth. The goat cheese burger is still pretty good and the appetizers were decent but all of that didn't matter when it took so long to get our food and it was half cold by then. Hopefully this can turn around because we were really rooting for this local place - no pun intended read more

Not sure what's happening at Roots. We have been very steady customers over the last 7 years, and recently the quality of food( at least some of the offerings) has really gone down. Several months ago, I tried the ribs and although they were tasty, they were dry and not very meaty. I recently tried the fried chicken, and the pieces were very small and again very dry, The Mac and cheese lacked flavor including absolutely no salt ( which may be good for some). The Mexican menu has still been good, as well as burgers and chicken sandwiches. I won't stop going, but I long for the days when the food just seemed so good, no matter what we ordered. Maybe a change in chef or change of food service companies? It's still a great neighborhood place and usually the staff is very nice. read more

Portions are stingy -- co-diner got a salad and it felt like a side salad spread out on the plate to make it look bigger. Sorry -- not acceptable for a $17 entree. I asked for yellow mustard for my onion rings (they were flavorless) and got charged for "extra sauce" -- unbelievable. I literally laughed out loud. Server was pleasant but asked for beer recommendations and got "I don't really know our beer menu" -- is this a joke? Ambiance -- the place is LOUD. Maybe only 4 tables and a few at the bar and we were shouting. As others have mentioned, it seems that the staff is way more interested in chatting with locals than serving dinner patrons. It's a shame, because the actual burger I got, while small, was pretty good. We won't be back. Note: the business is unclaimed on yelp. That's a clear demonstration the ownership doesn't care about the reviews. read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times before. It has a great setup with both indoor and outdoor seating. For the most part, the staff seems pretty friendly. As for the food... their Honey Bay Wings Bites are delicious. I've had some other dinner items that were okay. Mac and Cheese sandwich was excellent, but I had a salad that wasn't too great. However, this time I made it there for brunch. I was excited to be able to get the Honey Bay Wing Bites, but they gave me this very tiny container of dipping sauce for the wing bites. I can't ever remember it being this tiny in the past. When I requested another one because I didn't have enough, they charged me .50¢. But like I said, I was there for brunch, so this was also my first time having their pancakes. Not very good at all. Thick and very, very dry. Like ones that kids make at home to surprise their parents. And also for the pancakes they gave me one tiny container of syrup. I had to request another container of that too. Thankfully I wasn't charged .50¢ for that one. One pancake will suck the syrup right up, but they are so dry that you won't even want to finish them. This all just means that when I come back, to stick with the Honey Bay Wing Bites and get some fries because they are the best things on the menu... unfortunately, I'll have to bite the bullet on the cost of the extra sauce because it really brings a nice flavor to the bites. read more

Really enjoyed my lunch here today. Stopped in based on other favorable Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. The service was very friendly and the food and drinks were excellent. The Falafel Sliders were outstanding. The Falafel were as good if not better than any I have had in good Middle Eastern restaurants. They were crispy on the outside and tasty creamy inside. The vegetables that came with the Sliders were fresh and crispy. My Pan Seared Cod with Baby Clams and Chorizo Sausage was perfectly cooked and the butter broth was delicious. I only wish there was more bread to sop up all that goodness. The Salmon with Soy Ginger was also a hit. The cabbage slaw and Brussel Sprout Noodles were a healthy base for the fish. Definitely a return trip to this comfortable place is in the cards. read more
