Got a few bowls here and really enjoyed them. You can substitute an ingredient, such as spinach for kale, without a problem. It’s tasty, healthy food at an affordable price with quick service. That’s a good formula, and Roots adds to the quality of life in Cville.

I’ve never had any issues transforming their bowls or creating one of my own to fit my dietary needs, and it’s one of the few places I can go to that I feel I get my money’s worth. The staff has always been polite, efficient, and patient. The building has always been kept clean. The upstairs has a laid-back feel to it.

Wow, the food was absolutely amazing. Great option for vegetarians! The barbeque tofu has so much flavor and the roots rice was amazing. This is a very healthy food option and the portion was really big. I got the southern and I would highly recommend. The sauce was also a nice touch, not too strong like some dressings, but a perfect light flavor addition to the bowl. 10/10

Wonderful and delicious local take on the meal in a bowl craze. They do a great job of mixing the ingredients before presented so every bit is diced and sauced. El Jefe is said to be the favorite.

Roots was really delicious and filling and you can get almost 2 meals out of one order! I got the Souther Bowl which was really good. The BBQ tofu is sweet and charred. I loved everything about it but unfortunately they left out the cheddar cheese and the pickled red onions. Even then it still tasted pretty good! I added my own Kimchi to replace to forgotten pickled red onions.

Good place for a healthy meal. A had a “apollo bowl” with brown rice, grilled chicken, veggies and of course you can always add to it, my preference was avocado. Once all the ingredients are together they mix it up in a aluminum bowl and on to a bowl. At the end the bowl almost weight 5lbs but it was so good that I finished the entire meal. Will return and try something different.

Really good food and nice atmosphere! The place could use a little sprucing up as far as visual flair, but the main goal of the place, the food, is on point. I had the Cobb Corner and it really hit the spot. The Hibiscus tea was good too!

I can’t even describe how many times we have ordered from here. So many. Yet every time I request to omit red onions, they do NOT omit red onions! Luckily I’m not allergic! But if I was…it’s a law suit waiting to happen. Please look at the order details and actually omit red onions when requested.

I don’t care if you call this healthy food or not. This was some of the best food I’ve eaten in ages! I had the Southern with grilled chicken. The serving was huge and not only was I satisfied, but didn’t feel stuffed after eating either. I would love to have one of these in Atlanta! I spent $11. An awesome value for true, healthy, tasty food!
