service was 10/10, my server was so sweet amazing ambiance, loved the live tree in the center with all the lights, felt really festive, the decor was nice and the bar was pretty i liked the complimentary white truffle risotto amouse bouche that was very fun and nice bite but i didn't taste any truffle tuna carpaccio was fresh and i liked the sauce and citrus and the garnish very nice app pizza was really yummy and good, freshly fired fish was a little plain and brocollini was kinda hard and undercooked but good quality overall lychee cocktail thing was really good tasted like lychee lemonade macarons fro dessert! very yum very good read more

I returned here for my first lunch outing. I ordered the steak sandwich that came with a choice of salad or fries. I opted for the Caesar salad. The salad was good, very cheesy and light on the dressing. The sandwich consisted of skirt steak, caramelized onions, gruyere, and chimichurri aioli on a crispy French baguette. This was solid. The medium rare cook on the steak was perfect. The bread was great and a perfect choice for this type of sandwich. I would have liked to seen more chimichurri as there was not enough and the cheese to be melted better. Other than that, it was a satisfying sandwich. read more

They took the JMM burger off the menu. It is no longer the best burger around- sub par. So disappointed in this. No reason to return. The 3 stars is the atmosphere and nice staff. read more

A memorable birthday celebration at Uproot. We visited on a Friday evening to celebrate a birthday with close family and friends, even though it was a small group, we came ready to have a good time, and exactly that happened. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for a night out, stylish, warm and buzzing with just the right energy. We kept it simple, a couple pizzas to share, and they did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of char, with fresh and flavorful toppings. We definitely indulged in several rounds of scotch throughout the evening, their selection of scotch are very impressive. Staff were great; attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty for long. Uproot delivered a solid experience, it was the perfect place to kick off another trip around the sun! read more

We went to Uproot in Warren with friends. Fantastic evening here. We started with drinks Lychee Lani, Peach cobbler and Chardonnay Evolution all yummy. For apps we got the Brussels sprouts, shrimp dumplings, and buffalo cauliflower all well received. For entrees we ordered the JMM burger, roasted chicken, Tuna poke, and the mussels all great. For dessert we split the home made donuts which were excellent. Service was top notch. Liked the ambiance of the place. In a strip mall but you would never know it inside. Service was excellent. I will be returning here again. read more

We like to eat in the lounge area for a drink, quick bite and music. The food is consistent, however, the service has been off during our last few visits. There is no longer a server assigned to the lounge - the bartender is doing it all. On one occasion we walked over to the bar after 45 minutes with no food and no one checking on us,to find out our order was never sent to the kitchen. On another occasion, we sat for 30 minutes and no one even checked in with us. The bartenders' priority is clearly people at the bar, as well as drinks for the main dining room. The lounge - if they get a chance they wander in. We found another fine dining local restaurant where a "quick bite" is just that - they have a server tending to the lounge and are attentive. That model works much better, and I hope Uproot goes back to this model, so that a 'quick bite' is no longer over 1 hour. read more

We had an incredible dining experience at Uproot! The cocktails were amazing and next-level, the wine flights were insane, and the food was truly excellent. The restaurant is stunning and they have a huge wine program as well. This place is one of the best kept secrets around in NJ! Thanks to Sam, Chef Scott, Mike, and the entire crew at Uproot for making our meal memorable! Check out our visit here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DORVTbBjluk/?igsh=MWhwbnk4YWI2ajh2 read more

Uproot in Warren is outstanding. The ambiance and food are exceptional only made even more wonderful by the friendly and accommodating staff. My family enjoyed an exceptional meal. Hamachi crudo for an appetizer, swordfish, cod and duck for the main, and even more exceptional desserts. Chef Scott is so talented and his love for what he does comes across in the food. I will remember this meal for a long time to come. read more

The ambience was amazing, the food was pretty good too. But the service was horrible. From not really getting a good server experience, to the server, just leaving our water and seltzer on the table for us to self pour, coming by with the broom and leaving it right next to where we're eating. this restaurant needs to really take a look at their servers.. The food was good, ambiance was great, but the service. Not good. read more

I went here tonight for a work event. The restaurant is located in a convenient location easy to get to, it is beautifully decorated, it is a very large restaurant. The staff were friendly, the management seemed to be attentive to the guest needs. The selection of drinks were good and the food we were served was fresh, tasty and eclectic. read more

We thought we wouldn't Uproot again since it is under new management. Unfortunately, the food is still overpriced and not good. The flavors are off, the food is either overcooked or placed in the over to keep warm while the other plates are being finished. Regardless of the reason, the food is just not good at any price, let alone the prices they are charging. Also, the plating is amateur hour. Not the biggest deal in the world, but if you're going to charge 4-5 star prices, don't plate it like we're eating at a diner. It's a nice vibe for drinks at the bar, but it's a hard pass for dinner. Won't be having dinner there again unless they make some big changes in the kitchen. read more

Uproot - Dry, tasteless Roasted Chicken. - New American Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

The food was average at best and the service was definitely questionable. They should spend less time pushing water and more time paying attention to the customers. The menu selection was good, but the prices were exorbitant for a local place. I've been coming here for years and may have just had my last visit . I was very disappointed and frustrated. read more

Try the Black Cod! The food was delicious. The ambiance is atmospheric. Service was friendly.

Excellent atmospheric restaurant with a bar with many high seats and a dining room at the back. They have outdoor dinning as well. There is a real olive tree inside the restaurant, how unique is that. Uproot gives a vibe of upscale dining and highly recommend booking the reservation before going. The restaurant's aesthetic is unique and the atmosphere wasn't too loud. Bar area is upbeat, If you like it quieter, opt for the back dining room. Their menu keeps changing as per the season but always have enough options for both vegetarian and meat lovers. We went on a friday evening after happy hours and sat at the bar. We ordered couple cocktails, hummus and classico pizza pie. The staff was super friendly and service was prompt. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more

Uproot - Cheers - New American Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

The food is usually really good. The chicken sandwich is my favorite all time chicken sandwich. Dinner? Poke bowl is good. Do not!! Get any steak here. I had the skirt steak and it comes ala carte. So just the steak was $48 for a 10oz. It was 100% not fresh. So chewy and very disappointing. Especially with no sides for that crazy price. And the drinks are really good but also pricey.. 2 angels envy old fashioned- $43!! That's so crazy. read more

Superb! Last night's dinner at UPROOT was a delicious treat and the place was busy, with a happy Friday night crowd! The cod I ate was so light and delicate I didn't want it to end! The pasta veggie bowl was wonderful as was the roast chicken just delicious! the service was terrific and ever present and the ambiance pretty cool. There's an enormous olive "tree" in the center of the atrium which perfectly fills the space and creates an outdoor dining experience while remaining inside. One note, for this level of delicious dining they should be tossing their own Ceasar salads rather than bringing a dressing on the side. read more

Uproot is both our local watering hole and a spot we go to if we want to have an easy couples dinner out. Baylee typically takes care of us and makes us feel like VIP's. 2 thumbs up and 5 stars. It isn't cheap but it's worth it for an upscale tavern. read more

Just left from Happy Hour. Was told by bartender that the HH advertised Pinot Grigio isn't available, so we had to pay double the advertised price!! Take the signs away, if it's not available-or honor the posted price. We ordered the quac & chips...I asked for 3 more chips to finish quac (not an additional serving) was told I had to be charged an additional price for 3 chips. Wow - we were the only people at the bar. Kinda nickel & diming customers. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Convenient enough to serve few Somerset County towns. Large long restaurant with a main dining room and smaller one. We sat in the main dining room. The tables are roomy and not close to others. You can carry on a conversation at your table not disturbing your neighbor. We were deciding on appetizers not wanting to fill up before the entrees. We ultimately decided on hummus and wings. Hummus was good but a little thick texture. Wings were well done. Pitas were soft and fresh. I loved my salmon however, would prefer a few asparagus sprigs to the pearl onions. Husband ordered short rib ( only 1). It was good we left the wings on the table for him to pick on. My son ordered the prime rib. He loved it and the side of potato. Meats do not come with a side so you have to order one. Desserts were the doughnuts with Caramel cream. It was so delicious. Decadent chocolate cake was very fresh. The desserts were plentiful. More plentiful than the meat entrees. Drinks were outstanding. We ordered Blue Lagoon which I recommend. The gin and tonic the waiter poured in the gin at the table. Overall the place is above average. Food was very good. Portions of meat entrees were a little small. Will return to try the more casual dining and possibly the pizzas. Great to have a very good versatile restaurant in town. read more

No complaints. Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Was able to get a last minute Friday night reservation. Shared Buffalo Cauliflower and the Crispy Frisee Salad to start. Both were terrific. The salad was especially tasty with a fresh citrus kick. Loved it. She had the Broken Burrata Pizza, which was ok. I had a special, Colorado Lamb, which also was ok. Small portion, but cooked to perfection. It came with red and white beets, which were the best part. The service was way better than average. Nice friendly staff. Kept the water glasses filled. Pace of food was good. And they got me a fresh beer before my entre hit the table, which is worth a whole star to me. Nice modern atmosphere. Cool place. The bar looks cool. They had two musician playing and singing music on the bar/ lounge area. Great lighting. Cool space. read more

Recently had dinner at Uproot. The decor and decorative lit tree in center of restaurant created a lovely touch. Our Server was knowledgeable and pleasant and recommended a couple of special offerings that evening. We chose the scallop wellington for an appetizer and it was phenomenal! The taste and elegant presentation was outstanding! It was simply delicious . Can't wait to return to see what culinary surprise Chef Cutaneo will create next. read more

This is my second review of Uproot (the first was a higher rating), as this was take out. First the staff, especially the hostess and servers are wonderful. We simply ordered two sandwiches and fries and a pizza. The fries are always good. The classic pizza was great yet over-priced for the size. My eggplant sandwich was a bit overdone but acceptable. The salads were fresh. My wife's grilled chicken sandwich was beyond dry and rubbery. She called up, and the manager was busy and said he'd call back, he never did. As regular customers, we will be going to Uproot less and dining at Jessica's restaurant more as the cost is about the same, and they never let us down. Still, Uproot is usually consistent, just not for us. Disappointed. Updated: The manager called three days later and told us if we came in to eat, to call for him. Didn't find that satisfactory. And will not be doing takeout anymore. read more

The chef was absolutely unbelievable. Every dish was perfectly executed, full of flavor, and clearly made with care and creativity. One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. read more

We went to Uproot back in May of 2022. We needed a place for lunch, and this spot looked like a great one. My husband couldn't resist a Moscow Mule... So he ordered their Uproot Mule. It was refreshing on a warm day. For food, we decided to order a few appetizers, and one main dish to share. This way, we could taste more dishes. We ordered Buffalo Cauliflower, Truffle Fries, Fried Brussels Sprouts, and Thai Noodles. Buffalo Cauliflower pieces were cooked just right, with perfect spiciness. Still a bit crisp so not too soft nor mushy. The truffle fries were great! The sauce that came with it was green, maybe pesto? Whatever it was, it was really Nice! Fried Brussels Sprouts had the perfect texture, not too hard nor soft. Loved the charred parts! Thai Noodles were the only disappointing item. The noodle were overcooked, but packed flavor with a tiny kick to it. Overall, it was just a-ok. Since we had a nice lunch, we had to get dessert and coffee! We ordered Cappuccino, which was nice and foamy! For dessert, we ordered Uproot's Famous Doughnuts. These doughnuts are served with mocha pot de creme, and warm salted caramel. The doughnuts came out hot with hot caramel, so amazing! The doughnuts were soft and doughy yet light. Excellent dessert! The staffs were friendly, and service was good and efficient. Our water was always filled. We were happy with our visit. If we were back in the area again, we would definitely go back again for more! read more

It was our Anniversary dinner and what a perfect place to celebrate it ! Classy vibe , Cozy atmosphere , crafty decor makes this place a perfect date night or a celebration location. Waren is an unassuming suburb offering some choice of restaurants, Uoroot being one of the best . You walk into An almost Alice in wonderland kind a feeling with the Olive tree bar welcoming your. There is literally a beautiful tree in the middle of the bar , giving it a hip yet rustic vibe. You walk past the bar to the main dining areas which has ample seating . We had made reservations but reached earlier , yet were seated immediately . They make some crafty cocktails and wine selection is good too. For food choices we picked Salmon Aguachile - soft buttery edgy salmon ... lip smacking Good.. NYC Balthazar Bakery Toasted Sourdough bread - lived up to the hype Shrimp Toastada - mild but packed a punch . quite good Pizza - Soppressato - was a good pizza but more sweet than spicy Wester Ross Salmon with Couscous - perfectly roasted skin and a delicately cooked inside with that flavorful cous cous in light creamy sauce - simply superb Dessert - Home made donuts hit a home run for us- Ample parking in their private lot made it convenient to get in and out This would also be perfect to just get a drink after work hangout with friends and you will what to go back another time .. read more

Wow! Can't believe I've lived here for so many years and have never tried Uproot. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful -- perfect environment for girls night, dinner with friends, date night or family dinner. Various table sizes and seating types. Stunning tree inside of the restaurant along with other beautiful design elements and comfy dining chairs made this place so easy to love! Made same day reservation for a Friday dinner at 8:00 with a friend. Service was excellent -- our server greeted us promptly and offered many recommendations throughout the evening. Very attentive and engaged with us in conversation. Really enjoyed the menu, diversity in cuisine options and diversity in price points, as well as the unique culinary influences integrated into the dishes (some Dominican and other influences). Food (and drinks) were great. Bao buns and arancini were incredible. Hummus was delicious and fresh tasting. Burrata pizza was delicious and aromatic -- a lot of arrugula though. My friend got the winter mule which she didn't love -- said it tasted like there was an ingredient that reminded her of a cleaning agent (lol). I enjoyed my drink from the specials menu -- Guave Nice Time (?) -- didn't taste much of the mezcal though. Lots of fun cocktail recipes and liquors on the menu, as well as unique wine selection. Our dessert was amazing -- the homemade cream cheese ice cream was to die for with the berry compote -- too good. Got a decaf cappuccino that was the icing on top. Would go back any day! read more

my friend & i had a 6:30 reservation & they sat us in the back room (which i didn't even know existed until i went back there). very cool spot with a live tree in the middle as well as eclectic vibes and a lot of space. we ordered the hummus app to share, she ordered the winter sacchetti, and i ordered the vegan take on the linguine. it was great that the kitchen was able to make me a vegan entree, however, it would have been better if they at least had one vegan option on the menu outside the salads and some apps. once we finished dinner we sat at the bar for another drink - they have a great cocktail menu. its a great night to spend for dinner or if you just want to sit at the bar for a drink! read more

awesome chef Scott!!!! Very accommodating!!! great food and ambiance!! Live music added to the great vibe.

Uproots food is really good. The chef takes pride in the quality of the food. It is however very pricey.

One of my favorite places to have a nice "up" cocktail. Their overall ambiance is welcoming & I always like their bartenders. They are not only friendly and you can enjoy just talking to them when they can but they make sure you always have a drink - Ole is one of my favs! Go to food is wings and pizza. read more
