Reviews for Roots Natural Kitchen in Blacksburg, VA
Roots has a really great menu for a verity of taste palettes, so I am confident people can find their go to. I usually get the... Apollo with double chicken and double tomatoes. I also like that there is an affordable option to build your own bowl. Pricewise Roots is great and you won?t be spending much more then you will be at a competitors next door, on top of them portion wiseyou will definitely be satisfied. Staff is friendly and helpful Read more
First off, I think the food at Roots is good but my most recent experience soured the restaurant for me. They advertise free kid... meals with the purchase of a regular bowl, and our family has taken advantage of this a few times. Earlier in the pandemic wecalled to ask how this worked for takeout and were told to just write in the order notes when placing a takeout order online;this has gone smoothly for us a few times previously. Yesterday we placed an order like this and when picking it up I was toldthe children had to be present. I explained I was trying to avoid bringing them inside but could bring them just outside to thedoor (this is due to COVID; both my kids are too young to be vaccinated). The employee got visibly agitated at this and told meit was a dine-in promotion only, contradicting both her earlier offer to make them if I brought the kids inside and theinformation on their own website. After this I asked her to cancel the order and left. If their requirement for the promotionis the child must be physically inside the restaurant, then that is fine. However, they need to be more consistent with theircommunication. I would also ask they be sensitive to parents with young children trying to take COVID precautions seriously;cases in VA are nearly 5x what they were six weeks ago. Read more
I think my feedback will be similar to other reviews, in that the taste of the food is great, but the value and portion leave me... desiring more. I chose "The Apollo" from the menu, basically a Mediterranean chicken bowl. It includes brown rice, chicken,spinach, and a lemon za'atar sauce. I feel the chick portions were a bit small, there was a bit of a wait while it cooked, whichI didnt mind because that meant the chicken was super fresh. After a tip, the bowl was around $15, which for the portion wasfine I suppose, but the bowl at the Chipotle next door is almost $7 less and is more food. I think I would go back thoughbecause the flavors were definitely good, and I was satisfied at the end of the meal. Just a few things I feel could be improvedon. Read more
As the name says so it is. Very large, filling and healthy portions. Like alot of restaurants around Va Tech, students can use... their Hokie pass to eat. Read more
Large portions for the price, very friendly service, and so fresh and delicious! The app is a little clunky, but that's a minor... flaw that I can forgive because these mushrooms are so darn good! Read more
Very nice healthy place to get a bowl! I recommend the Tamari bowl it was great. It is a bit pricey but worth the money. You... should go here if you are in the area. Read more
Healthy alternative to fast food. Good atmosphere and food. El Jefe bowl with some lemon is amazing. If you do not prefer rice,... corner cob is a great one too. Almost 10 bucks a bowl. Read more
