The Rooted Fork

We visited this locals' favorite on a Sunday, early afternoon. Taking advantage of the brunch/lunch options, we ordered the Texas Cheesesteak and Texas Breakfast. Both were underwhelming, and failed to deliver on taste. The highlight of our visit was the Down the Hatch, an espresso based drink with vanilla and sweet cream. The dining room is small, and the team was struggling to keep it clean even though traffic was moderate. I was frustrated when I was unable to pour my tea ... the spout was at a trickle. There are better brunch/lunch options, and I can't recommend Rooted.

I order from here about once a month. The last time I ordered I mentioned something was off. The food wasn't quite as good as it usually is. Today I ordered from there and ended up throwing away the food and feed some to the dogs, because they don't care what they eat. I attached a few photos to show how bad the food was this round and the portions alot smaller than usual. I'll start off with the side of bacon that was old, dry and so crispy if you touch it, it turned into bacon bits with no flavor. The dogs liked it. The Loaded Mac and Cheese, well it was so full of water that's all you could taste with a hint of cheese flavoring. Threw that away since it didn't taste fresh either. The Pancake had a very small amount of chocolate chips that you pay extra for. It was dry, definitely was not soft and fluffy like they have been in the past. My husband's eggs were ordered sunny side up and they came almost fried. He picked them up and fed them to the dogs too. No runny yolk whatsoever on his and my scramled, came in hard scrambled. I can't say they are having a bad day since this is the second time this has happened in the last month. It's hard to support local when this has happened more than once in the last month and you see the food going downhill, tasteless and old. I would rather spend my $70 somewhere else.

Scrumptious Brunch! Ate here 9/21/25. Adorable place in the heart of old Cibolo. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Charming interior and cute decor. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms. Food was amazing and portions were large. Order at counter, self serve drinks, food was delivered in about 15-20 minutes. Shopping and other attractions within walking distance. Gravel and paved parking beside building. Will definitely eat here again!!

The food here is amazing! Very delicious, the portions are huge, the staff are so nice and attentive. Well worth the price. We got the biscuits and sausage gravy(the biscuits were so soft and fluffy), the steak omelette(absolutely amazing and bursting with flavor), fried pickles(perfect amount of breading, flavorful and the dip that comes with it has such an amazing taste), the Texas Breakfast(my son very much enjoyed it), the Lil Fork Mac-n-Cheese(meant for kids and the amount is huge!), and the apple pie pancakes(these were DIVINE! Tastes just like apple pie!) I would recommend this place to everyone. If you’re in the area, drop on in! You won’t regret it!

I brought a friend on April 11th & my family on April 14th. We have been here several times before. So the visit on 4/11 was good we sat outside we ordered a Fruit bowl, Texas Hash, The Texas Breakfast. The waitress we had that day was Amazing. She checked on us. And had a 1-2 minute conversation with us which was really nice! A++++++ for customer service. The second visit we sat inside! It was so so many flies it was bothersome but we dealt with the situation at hand. We ordered a Yogi Bowl, Egg Beni's and The Forky Bowl & The Texas breakfast. The tater tots were over over cooked. But we didn’t want to have to wait for them to re- cook them. We had to wait 30 mints for food which was fine because we talked, shooed flies away and talked to other customers. So we made the time pass. But we shouldn’t have gotten messed up food after waiting a long time to get it! Everything else was good! The one waitress that spoke to us was very nice. I did want to ask is there any way to raise the tea dispensers because at times it’s hard to get the tea out! & maybe some fly plugin traps. 🙂
