I love going to Roots Natural Kitchen whenever I want something fresh, filling, and healthy. The El Jefe bowl with all the works is my go-to — it’s so flavorful and always tastes incredibly fresh. The portions are generous too; you could honestly split a bowl with another person and still feel satisfied. It’s a great spot if you want something that tastes good and makes you feel good after eating.

Got the Rocky Balboa. Absolutely delicious. So many different flavors hitting at once but melding perfectly. One bowl left me very full and satisfied. Will definitely be coming back for more soon.

I was in town for a day and came upon Roots. The staff were very friendly and made several recommendations. I decided to order The Balboa. The price was reasonable and it was made fresh and promptly. There’s plenty of protein in this bowl, which I really love. And it has a unique tangy flavor and crunch. The sweet potatoes were a nice, flavorful touch, too. I’m glad that I stopped in.

great is good with a pretty big portion. customizable but menu has specialized bowls. it feels healthy and fresh. i usually get it delivered but have been in the store once to order. they make the bowl in front of you and asks you what you want. you get to see the ingredients. it usually lasts me one meal + a snack

We really enjoyed our lunch at Roots. A very healthy alternative. Staff was welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed the Tamari and my husband had the southern. Everything is Chopped well so that is ready to eat without having to cut up. You can get a salad or grain based bowl by one of their designed bowls or build your own.
