    Roots Natural Kitchen bowls never disappoint. I recently stopped by this location to get their Roots Bowl, and it was fantastic. I really appreciated the servers ensuring that my bowl was gluten free. My sister tried the Astra Bowl; she was excited to try it because of the sriracha peas but found the bowl wasn't as great as she had hoped. One thing to note is the time it took to place our order. I'm not sure if it was due to the time of day or the location, but we did had to wait a while to order due to long lines.

    This is what pops up anytime I try to order any food, at any time of day through the roots app and website

    I'm not a big yelp reviewer, but I really want to see roots do better. I historically have thought that roots offered a good amount of food for a good price. Roots gets a 1 star because I want someone in charge to know that it is almost impossible to order food off of your online platform. The only place I can reliably order from is uber eats. The roots website and app always offers better pricing and I like supporting small business without uber taking their massive % off the top. A shame that the app experience is such a disaster

    This was a cute, healthy dinner to keep me on track while traveling for work. You order at the counter and watch as the staff mix up your meal. I tried the Apollo salad which was loaded with fresh vegetables, protein, delicious lemony dressing which left me completely stuffed. If you're not into the already curated salad and grain bowls you can custom create your own. There is plenty of seating inside but for those who would rather grab and go, there's a designated wall covered in shelves for online order pickup. Definitely will go back next time I'm in town!

    OMG! I tried to lick the bowl but I didn't want to be judged. This is the best salad I've ever had my life! I had the Presto Caesar-WOW! Hints of Fattoush Hints of Tabbouleh The creamy Caesar Texture, taste and flavor. It pops!

    All of my friends know that Roots is my go-to for a quick, delicious, healthy meal. I really appreciate that whether I order there or ahead in the mobile app, I can get my food quickly and just as I ordered. If you are a vegetarian or like and just enjoy meatless options, I highly suggest trying any of their tofu varieties. My favorite is the miso tofu. They also load up your bowl with all of the toppings you want, like mushrooms, sweet potatoes, beets, broccoli, rice, and greens. They also have choices such as their Cobb salad or El Jeffe if you want a combo of ingredients by their choosing. You can opt for a make your own bowl, which is my usual choice. The seating is indoors with a few table options in the front and back of the restaurant but I would not describe it at all as a sit down room. It's very casual and convenient which food that is top notch.

    Updating my review on roots because I finally tried the tofu and it was amazing!! My favorite bowl is the el jefe and I switched out the chicken for the bbq tofu and the combination was fantastic - highly recommend! I am new to tofu this year but I think I like it better than the chicken at roots (which says a lot because the chicken is so good!) I am always impressed by the portion sizes at roots; I like to do 1/2 and 1/2 brown rice and kale and it's the perfect ratio.

    Cobb salad (avocado, egg and sweet potato are in there - it just needed a good stir) & the Balboa bowl
    Stephanie B.

    Enjoyed a delicious, healthy lunch here yesterday with my guy! I had the Cobb but subbed the dressing for what was offered on the Mayweather. He ordered the Balboa without onions. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout answering questions and making suggestions. The portions were more than generous (we both ended up taking some home for later). The dining area was clean and well maintained. The music was a little loud but that's what you get at most restaurants today, maybe I'm just getting older ;) If you love salads or grain bowls you have to give this place a try. Will definitely be back for another meal soon!

    Build your own bowl half full for full price.

    Flavorful and interesting bowls. You can choose rice, salad, kale with a variety of add-ons. The service is quick and ambiance sociable.

We were seated in the Lounge area near the entrance and it was pretty nice. My MIL loved the cow painting that was hanging. There is a lot of animal art where we were seated. The service is great here. We were checked in on a lot, but not in an overbearing way. This is located in Libbie Mill, so there is a lot of free street parking and parking lot spaces. They had women and men's restrooms. This is a sister restaurant to Julep's in downtown. I have been wanting to try this spot for a long time now and am happy we finally did. They are very creative with their dishes here and I think sometimes it makes a big bang and other times it falls a little flat. My MIL and I both got the springria. She got the red and I got the white. The red was the better of the two. We started with a caesar salad and the lamb empanadas for the table. The salad was fine, it had too much going on for me. We all loved the lamb empanadas (our waitress even said they were her favorite). We all loved the butter and bread choices that we started the meal with. I really liked the cornbread. For mains, my fiance and I shared the sirloin special. My MIL got the soft shell crab. My mom got the branzino. I love that they split the sirloin for us, it was so kind and perfectly portioned for us. It was a tasty special. The branzino was a great cut of fish, however, the sauce combinations made it a bit confusing, so we weren't the biggest fan of the flavor. My MIL adored her soft shell crab. We all had a wonderful time here!

Only street parking is available, but it wasn't too difficult to find a spot. The atmosphere: Very rustic vibe with some farmhouse-style decor. They have table, high-top, bar, and patio seating available. The food: I opted for the Chicken and Waffles with a side of cheese grits. I chose to make it hot for more spice. It's served with one whole waffle, two large pieces of fried chicken, and syrup on the side. The chicken was not seasoned as much as I hoped and wasn't as spicy as I expected, which was a bummer. The cheese grits were alright as well, but not as flavorful as I hoped. My partner ordered the Double Barrel Bowl, and he really enjoyed it. It was packed with pulled pork and was plentiful and filling. The service: Great and kind service from Mave (I believe that is her name but I'm not entirely sure). She informed us about the daily specials and was attentive throughout our visit.

I wanted some sambuca, but they had none, which is disappointing. I did see a banana bread pudding dessert, so I opted for that. The single bartender who was working was crazy busy that it took him about 15 minutes to put in my order, then by the time I got it, it was cold, as it took another 15 minutes for him to finally run back to the kitchen to get it. They were quite busy that evening, but that's not my problem, nor his... There was a server handling the dining room area and I think that was all I saw. They really need better staffing and MUCH BETTER MANAGEMENT, as running out of a popular digestif in a popular hotel really isn't acceptable. The flavor of my banana bread pudding was nice, but the temperature messed it up. Overall, I'm glad I wasn't tied to "having to eat here" like other business travelers might be... There's very little in the close area and nothing in walking distance from here. But I'll not ear here again. I visit the Richmond area very often for business and though I liked the hotel stay, I didn't like this experience, so I'd probably choose to stay at the downtown Richmond Marriott or the Short Pump Hilton next time instead, just because both have a true "full service" offering, including a nice bar.
