Mimosa flight
Chloë J.

Wow the place looks great! After the renovation this place now looks as great as the food is! Service is always top tier. The orange juice was delicious, couldn't get enough of the fries, all our food was great. My only "downside" if you will is my expectations of the stuffed French toast, don't get me wrong still delicious but when I think stuffed I wanna actually be able to see a layer of something in there and I do like my French toast more eggy?? I'm not sure if that's the right way to explain it but essentially not just cinnamon bread. Will we be back? 100%, easily best spot in town.

Stuffed French Toast

This has been one of my favorite restaurant experiences since I moved to Maricopa! Excellent food of high quality, great service, good prices, a menu with plenty of variety, and a nice atmosphere that could play to both a more casual brunch or a more dressed-up dinner out. We stopped in for brunch and were impressed with how attentive, professional, and courteous Janelle was. Despite the busy morning of customers, our drinks stayed topped off and we got all the help we needed. We tried the Chef's Creative Benny, Stuffed French Toast, and Roots Breakfast Platter, as well as trying their take on the Screwdriver and Espresso Martini cocktails. Everything was delicious! The brioche bread was toasted on the outside, soft on the inside, the eggs were fluffy, and the fruit was fresh. I cannot understate how good the bacon was. I've tried all sorts of bacon, but they did it right. Thick but not too thick, crispy yet not burnt, and just a hint of cherry to it. Fantastic. If you haven't been here and you live in Maricopa, it's time to pay Roots Eatery a visit! And if you can, ask for Janelle! She is a rock star and a valuable addition to this business.

Tried the fish n chips today. Very good, the fish was crispy with really good flavor.

I've lived in Maricopa for 9 years & today was the first time I've experienced this restaurant. This lovely diner will now be a place we eat at on a regular basis. They have a sign in the restaurant that reads. "Bringing Families Back to the dinner table one meal at a time." It's happening hear! We had brunch & it was by far one of the best brunches we've had. You'll see from my review history we eat out often as an escape out of Maricopa & I don't want frugal people wasting their money for clicks. We were seated immediately. The food took about 20 minutes but it was hot & good. My husband enjoyed his meal.

This expanded restaurant really comes together with a long beautiful bar, many dining tables and a view into the kitchen. The food was excellent and cooked perfectly. Service was also excellent and the bar tender served up perfectly mixed drinks. Growing comes with issues that can and should be addressed. One small thing is that they didn't install hooks under the bar for hanging handbags. The first thing my Girlfriend does in any restaurant where we sit at the bar is look for hooks under the bar. Small thing but big improvement. More importantly is that for this new high end restaurant the wine list must be upgraded. The wine also needs to be served at the proper temperature. In Arizona you can't keep your red wine on the bar and serve it at room temperature. Hopefully management will correct things in time but for now we will be regular customers at this fine dining establishment. Now the best dining experience in Maricopa.

Bruschetta, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and Espresso Martini.

Me and my wife went for dinner, and it did not disappoint! The drinks were so good, and the food was even better. The atmosphere was great! Perfect place for a first date or an intimate date night with your significant other. This is definitely going to be one of our regular date spots!

Visited a long time ago whilst looking for homes in Maricopa, AZ. Wanted food that was fresh and not heavy. Shared their burger with awesome fries and a Bloody Mary. Wow! The staff was great and did not rush us. Very cute and nostalgic ambiance.

This place definitely has some really cool vibes! It's a restaurant/bar with a stage for bands to…read moreplay, an area for dancing, and the 2nd floor had pool tables, darts, and other games to play! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how it's geared to anyone, families, friends getting together for some fun, just anyone! The food was pretty good. My husband had the cheeseburger with fries. He thought the burger had good flavor to it and it was cooked to perfection. I had the salmon with mixed veggies. The salmon was pretty good. Although it did seem a little overcooked. It was a little dry and crispy, but the seasoning and flavor on it totally made up for that. I loved the flavor of the salmon for sure! If I can remember correctly, I believe the veggies consisted of green beans, potatoes, bell peppers, and bacon (please correct me if I'm wrong). They were okay. they could have used a little more flavor and a little less soft/mushy. The portion size for the salmon dinner was a bit small, especially for the price it was. I, personally, think one more side added would have been right for the price. Overall, it was good! Our waiter was awesome! I wish I knew his name to give him credit, but he did a really great job serving us! He had an upbeat personality, very knowledgeable about the food, and had a smile every time he checked on us! Excellent customer service! The live band did a really good job playing! We sat up front, just right of the band. We thought being right next to the band, it would be super loud. The music was not loud at all and they played really good songs! I enjoyed watching some of the customers go up and line dance. They appeared to be having a really good time! This place has so many events that they do, like line dancing classes and more! I have friends that just go to this place to play pool and have a few drinks. It's such a great place for get togethers! I highly recommend giving this place a try for sure!

The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. Our ticket included a bbq buffet lunch at the restaurant afterwards, where they also gave awards. Since I don't eat meat, I ordered at the restaurant. I ordered the picado with shrimp which comes with rice, lettuce, grilled onions, jalapeños, bell peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and chipotle ranch. It was pretty tasty and had a nice kick! I was grateful they had some pescatarian options. I also enjoyed a glass of bubbly to celebrate our game. Service was excellent. The course was in good shape and was fun and challenging to play.

The only reason they get three stars is because our server took the food that wasn't eaten off of the tab without being asked. We walked in and sat ourselves, as the sign said to do, and there was one person working - bartending and taking orders. She saw us sit and came over quickly, but it took a really long time to get our drinks, once ordered. Not her fault, she was alone. Still not ideal though. When my mimosa arrived, it was warm and I ended up asking for a glass of ice to cool it down. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and asked for my side of hashbrowns to be extra crispy (spoiler alert, they were not). When my food arrived, everything on the plate was lukewarm and underdone. The gravy was too cool and congealed and inedible, the hashbrowns were limp and barely browned, the eggs were rubber. When the server checked on us, I asked for my food to be reheated and when it came back, only the biscuit had been slightly warmed. Everything else came back colder than when I sent it back. The server was nice about everything and comped my meal because I didn't eat it - pictured is what I received after it came back from the kitchen the second time. I just wasn't impressed. The drink was warm, the food was cold. Nothing was the right temperature. Severely understaffed. Good on the server we had for being so nice about everything, but I doubt I'll be back.

My patty melt was very flavorful and delicious, as well as piping hot. Total thumbs up there. The unfortunate: I was the only car in the drive thru, and although I was able to order and drive up to the window quickly, I then sat at the window for aaaaaaages. By the time I was handed my food, the line was 3 cars deep. I appreciate that they were maybe making the food fresh, but holy smokes I waited forever. It is also worthy to note that the location isn't great. This is not the restaurant's fault, obviously, but it's something to know. The parking lot is ridiculous and I have no idea how there aren't constant accidents.
