We arrived on a Saturday night at about 645, there was a short wait but nothing bad . We came to see the singer Jack Cunningham , we explained that is why we were there and they sat us at a big table right in front of where he was going to sing . So what a variety of drinks and food we ordered the cheese curds and the nachos we would recommend both ! ! I had the brisket grilled cheese with Parmesan fries and it was absolutely delicious , it was a lot of food too ! Someone else in our party had a burger and loved it , a steak tip sandwich, and fish tacos . Everyone of us enjoyed our dinner . Our server was awesome , she was helpful and very friendly! We stayed until close , we had such a great time , the decor , the ambience , the place is top notch !! If you get a chance don't let the line to get in keep you away !! It's a must stop place to eat and meet up with friends read more

Have taken clients to lunch there as well as social lunches. No one is ever disappointed. I like to try different items and so far it has only made it tougher which one to recommend to first timers. read more

Food was just ok. Too much garlic in the dish. I ended up with a terrible stomach ache. read more

Very young staff that acted like they were working there as some sort of punishment. Lack of any enthusiasm bordered on contempt for patrons. The service was slow and the food bland. Go to True Whiskey next door instead. read more

The food was normal bar expected food. I can't really complain about the food but they do charge for every sauce you ask for. If you need ketchup on your burger he charged us. The service was terrible. I mean horrible. The guy Micheal B that waited on our table was inattentive. He barely filled our water and everything we asked for he took for ever to respond to. My brother asked about his appetizer and why his appetizer didn't come out when the first appetizers came out. He said he was going to check but never came back. So as the food was coming out they brought out his appetizer. When I got my food I asked for bbq sauce, he never brought it until I was finished eating. I told him I didn't need the sauce and he shrugged his shoulders. He brought out the check and charged for all these extra sauces. I asked him why did he charge us for extra sauces and he got mad. He charged us for bringing out ketchup, bbq sauce, and ranch. Extremely unnecessary. Never again will I be mistreated. read more

Food was cold, service was smug, but one thing I did enjoy was the live music. Last time I came to dine was fine, hopefully it was just tonite. read more

New restaurants always have some kinks to work out. I've read the bad reviews here and I think that it's good for people to be patient and try new businesses again. We're from California and we visit every other month and we LOVED Square Roots. We're so excited to have another restaurant in the Square! The decor is spot on. They did such a great job with the place. Here was our experience. We only had a hour before we had to get to the airport. We were going to go to the Tavern but we wanted to try something new. We almost went across the street cause 13 dollars seemed expensive for a Bloody Mary. However there was a guy outside that was raving about the drinks. So we popped in. My dad is super stingy and opinionated about his Bloody Mary's and he said "this is the best Bloody Mary I have ever had". And he's from a farm in Ohio. So you know it's legit. My brother in law ordered the wings and flipped out. We had the corn elote dip and my fiancé freaked. Then the giant pretzel came and blew our faces off. It's deff worth 15 bucks if u wanna feed everyone. And I'm so stoked that it wasn't a melted American cheese dip. I hate those. There cheese dip for the pretzel was awesome. I'm super picky about pretzels. They're usually dry and gross. This was fresh out the oven! Square Roots! Woot woot!! read more

Great atmosphere! Very good food. We had amazing service and will definitely recommend and return.

The food was good. Brisket tacos A+. Wings were decent, not spicy enough for my liking. They have a "Murder" sauce which is their hottest and by name, I stayed away, the next one down was mild, but the smoke flavor in the wings were good. Service was slow, and forgetful, and who runs out of ranch? There were some other items they were out of too. I don't understand how you start a weekend running out of things? Overall a good experience, not running at 100% IMO. read more

Food is always great, drinks are always great, cute, clean, trendy atmosphere. One of my go-to spots!

MUST have the pretzel!! Huge! Tasty! Delish!! All our food was good! Drinks are good but a bit pricy. Service was good. We will go back! read more

Absolutely Amazing.... everything hands down fabulous Service and management was very kind and helpful. The food came Out fast and nothing lacked on taste. read more

The Nightmare Burger lacked any flavor. My son's chicken fingers were rubber, and came with about 12 French fries. Server implied our dishes came with sides, but then were charged for all of them. Overpriced, and nothing was fresh. Beer and decor were good, that's about it. Saw Petyo there, that was cool. read more

New place in Crown Point, love the atmosphere and the decor. Food was very good and service was friendly and on point.

The burger was tasty but a bit on the dry side. There weren't many people in there and the burger took 40 minutes to arrive. The server was not attentive , never asked if I was enjoying the meal and had an attitude. A bit disappointing overall. Perhaps they were having a bad day. read more

Amazing food the staff is always nice. Good for family's and couples to have a great meal.

Good food and local beers available. Great service and fun atmosphere. I would go back

Interesting selection of dishes on the menu. The brisket nachos were good but over the top in combination with the elotes dip. Good local and microbrew craft beer selection. Friendly staff. The bar is a good place to watch sports and chill. read more

This use to be a great place. Just went there and it was horrible!! The food was awful. The pretzel was way smaller than it use to be and burnt. The drinks were cheap and not prepared right. The waitress only cared about talking to her friends instead of waiting on her tables. Not to mention the manager stood where we could see her eating and obviously her food wasn't prepared right cause she made a disgusting look on her face and walked back to the kitchen. We tried to give this place one more chance and it failed. Would not recommend to anyone. Hopefully their new business Culinary Misfits is better because this one has gone to crap. Good luck with the new restaurant! read more

Nice place to go for visiting. Good food but keep an eye on menus changes. I have some favorites that are not on the menus any more. But you can find something you will like ! The food flavors are so good and unique! read more

My husband and I had such a fantastic experience at Square Roots! We got the Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer, and I got the The Holy Grail Mac n Cheese for dinner. Both were incredible!!! Their soup was really good, too! The live acoustic music made for a fun, relaxing atmosphere and perfect date night. Excited to go back soon! read more

In the heart of Crownpoint, good food, good service Outside dining is available. Lots of foot traffic around the Square that's always fun to watch read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Glad to take a break from eating in Valpo. The food is excellent and the beer choice is very good.

From out of town and came here for lunch, menu had a great selection everything was amazing

Square roots is one of my favorite restaurants in Crown point so far. I love the atmosphere is great the food is really good we never have to wait long just sit down or get our food. read more

The food at Square roots was nice comfort food. The space is a bit loud and noisy. The weekends are extremely busy but if you show up after The usual dinner rush, you don't have to wait as long. They did have some gluten free options which is always a plus when you have celiac's disease. I really liked their wings. Our waitress was just OK, she could've been a little more attentive. But the food is worth going back to for. It's nice to have another quality restaurant to go to here and Crown Point. read more

Excellent atmosphere and food. The fish tacos were fantastic. Friendly and personable staff. All in all, a very nice experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in the square. Great food. A bit loud. Get the wings with Parmesan garlic.

What a perfect lunch. Great looking place with a rustic ambiance and perfect decor. Exciting menu and the food did not disappoint. We agreed to each order something from a different section of the menu and then did a little sharing. All of it was "Over the Top". I would have been thrilled no matter which item they set in front of me. But the star of the show was our incredible server, Peyton!!! She was so friendly and helpful. Took us through her menu favorites and made great suggestions. We enjoyed an awesome pretzel, Brisket Nachos, Bang bang Shrimp, and I ordered the Big Sexy Steak Sammy. Come on now people - who doesn't love a Big Sexy Steak Sammy??? Drinks were never empty and every time a staff member passed our table they stopped to pick up unneeded dishware and trash. Manager Kyle swung by to check on us and we also had the great privilege of meeting Miss Kim. I absolutely love this place. Too bad I live exactly 1,999 damn miles away. Google maps said so. read more

Perfect family restaurant on the square. Portions are great and everything we've tried has been delicious. Our family favorite is the giant stone fired pretzel. read more

Pretty solid place in the square. Food is always good and drinks are decent. Our most recent visit did not have the best bar service. We received our appetizers, soup/salad and entrees before our first drinks ever came. The server did keep apologizing for the wait but I don't think I've ever had slow drink service like that. Thinking it may have been a new bartender as we could tell she seemed overwhelmed and was slow on making the drinks. read more

Pretty good food but increasingly outrageously priced. Combined with shrinking portion sizes and rising prices, not a place worth frequenting anymore. We've been going regularly since it opened, but $16 kids meals for a couple chicken strips and fries was sort of the final straw. read more

Great new place! I loved everything about it from the decor, friendly staff and the food. I had a special of the day, a pulled boar on hoagie with teriyaki, jalapeño, cucumber and cilantro. It was outstanding. On my second visit I tried the truffle oil pizza and added pulled pork to it. It was definitely a YUM! My dining partner had the Santa Fe salad and said it was delicious. Great addition to our dining options in Crown Point. read more

Great value. Great food. Friendly waitstaff. Been there several times with group of five and never disappointed.

2nd visit. Unique menu and next level bar food but falls miserably short if you are eating healthy or watching sodium, carbs, etc. Forget about asking for clean, grilled chicken breast. A guest of mine has to watch sodium so he requested low/no salt preparation. The server looked at him like a deer in headlights and after speaking to the chef indicated there was nothing that could be prepared with low sodium including the grilled chicken. No effort was made to accommodate him and worse the plain side salad he ordered as it was a desperation option never even arrived to the table. Horrible service to boot. read more

Great spot right on the square. Loved the Elote Dip!! Burgers were outstanding!! Love the nice touch with chilled water brought to the table in carafes. The menu is good with many appetizers and handheld foods. Extensive beer menu. We will be back to try the tacos! read more

Such friendly welcoming staff! JoSEA D was super attentive and informative about the menu, service was fast but not rushed!! our food was hot and delicious! The pretzel was our favorite! Coming back next week with some friends out of town! read more

Outdoor seating was wonderful and worth the wait. Pretzel was delish smashville chicken was good I asked for more bang bang sauce to add to it and that made it awesome. Truffle fries were ok this was my first time trying truffles fries so maybe they just aren't my thing. Cookie skillet was phenomenal. read more
