    Tofu Scramble
    Jane E.

    Delicious food prepared with skill and artistry. My favorite lunch place in Tarrytown. I've had just about everything on the menu. Highly recommend this place!

    Apple butternut bread pudding
    Latonya P.

    WOW! To think we almost turned around to leave. From the pics on Yelp we thought it was more upscale but it's very casual! You place your order then find a table and they bring it to you! After reviewing the menu we decided to stay and give it a go! SO GLAD WE DID! I had the butternut squash soup and Oh My was it delicious! A very generous serving creamy thick and slightly sweet topped with a swirl of cream and toasted pumpkin seeds! You could taste the ginger but it was not offensive! I paired it with the Fried Oyster Po Boy - home run on taste again! Stacked high with lightly battered very well seasoned oyster mushrooms on a hearty bun topped with lettuce - house made pickles- lettuce- and spicy aioli - THIS SANDWICH WAS THE BOMB! My hubby enjoyed his Salmon Burger topped with a basil aioli along with other trimmings! I had a nice Strawberry Hibiscus Tea/Lemonade it was perfect by my taste as no added sugar which I prefer! We finished it off by sharing a butternut apple bread pudding with caramel sauce! Boy was it good. Again not sickly sweet just right - rich caramel and huge chunks of apple. The staff is very friendly even checking to ensure nothing had nuts due to my allergies and the place is organic feeling and they locally source. It's small with only 7-8 tables but it was not crowded at the time we arrived. Seems like they do a good book of carry out orders!

    Chocolate Chia Pudding

    This is my new favorite place! There were more vegan options than not at a very affordable place! I was overwhelmed with choices because they were all so delicious (and vegan!). I decided to try the Korean BBQ wrap, and it was absolutely flavorful and tasty. The ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting, with nicely set tables. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place!

    Grassroots kitchen was a good way to kickstart our Tarrytown weekend. Healthy options all around. From drinks, soups, meals - something for everyone who views the menu. Comfortable and small. Spacious for a bigger group towards the back or a few seats at the front.

    Fantastic venue. I wish there was something like this in every city. Delicious offerings with excellent service. Grass Roots Kitchen in Tarrytown is a casual eatery associated with the Sweet Grass Grill and Tomatillo. You can go order at the front desk and then sit for your food. We had some amazing chocolate chia pudding, cookies, buckwheat pancakes (my favorite), and kombucha (terrible nutritional information suggesting that there are less carbs than sugar), and coconut chocolate bites. I highly recommend. Explore their website's menu.

    Buffalo cauliflower bowl

    Delicious vegan options. We had the buffalo cauliflower bowl and Philly burrito. Would absolutely stop here for plant based options

    Jackfruit "Carnitas" Tacos

    Remembered this place was great so gave it another try while I was in the area. Was craving a cheese burger when I saw the menu. I also ordered a smoothie. The smoothie came out quickly, but the service for the food was very slow. Though my friend who ordered after me got his food quickly. I saw my cheese burger and assumed it was mine, waiting to be called out, but I saw the person at the counter keep looking at the tickets and food, and organizing it but not quite calling names. I should've just asked but didn't want to assume that it was mine. She did call out my name after 10 minutes. I was genuinely confused because she was standing there, looking at the tickets and saw my burger but didn't say my name earlier. I'd assume if orders are ready that you'd want to call them out shortly after they're done...

    Burger with fries
    Mel Y.

    4.5, cute stop for breakfast or lunch with healthier and seasonal breakfast and lunch options This is a great spot for bikers because they have outdoor seating with plenty of room for bikes. A nice escape from the hustle of the Main Street area. While they have a decent number of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options (salad, soup, breakfast), they also have grassfed beef burgers, chicken and fish. They also have smoothies and juices. I liked the veggie wrap, with the variety of filling. Not a cheap place but you also don't feel yucky after eating their foods.

    Local cider
    Lauren C.

    Great restaurant with farm-to-table type food that is surprisingly vegan-friendly. I ordered one of the vegan pastas and really enjoyed it.

    Korean bbq wrap
    Sally A.

    You go to the counter and place your order, then they'll bring you your food. You get your own water, utensils, condiments, and water. The service is fast. I ordered the Korean bbq tofu wrap. It was good, but kind of tasted tasted like scrambled eggs with kale... there was no bbq taste at all... truly a breakfast burrito..

My husband went with the à la carte French toast accompanied with a fresh berry compote and homemade whip cream. The bread was a house-made challah bread . He said it was the best he's French toast he's ever had. Served with real maple syrup, which made it even better. The Bloody Marys were fantastic--perfectly spicy, with a noticeable kick of horseradish. The Bellini was just as delicious, and the coffee was served hot and full of flavor. I opted for the prix fixe menu . It was difficult to choose as there were many options to choose from. I decided on the mushroom risotto as a first course which was outstanding--perfectly creamy risotto topped either mushrooms and a delicate touch of annato oil that brought everything together beautifully. For my main course again, many options that I could've went with, but decided on the eggs Benedict with pork belly, and it was absolutely delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly, and the hollandaise sauce was rich and flavorful. The country, potatoes, sautéed with onions and red peppers, were so tasty, and the side salad with dressing was light and refreshing. I also loved that there were several protein options you could've chose from to go on top of the English muffin beneath the poached eggs. We were too full to enjoy dessert there, but we took it home--an apple cheesecake dress with caramel sauce, and that same homemade whipped cream . Since we were taking it home, we forgo'd the vanilla ice cream which also came with this dessert . The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive--water glasses were refilled without asking, and plates were cleared promptly. The space also features a beautiful large bar and an outdoor patio, which I can't wait to come back and enjoy. Lots of parking in the surrounding and immediate areas and free on Sundays.

As someone who likes to eat there is nothing worse than ordering something for a special treat that ends up being "not worth it." I ordered the soup and sandwich off the lunch menu - truffle grilled cheese, how could you wrong? What I expected - a decadent, buttery, melty sandwich. What I got- two heels of bread dry as a desert with a thick hunk of cheese that was not even fully melted throughout. The soup was not terrible in comparison but needed salt. Holiday lunches have dragged on and on with slow service. I would never go spend my own money here.

The pro tip here is to get a pound of the candied pecans to take home with you, they are life affirming. Are you disappointed by the dearth of decent cheese in the United States?

You might be tempted by the Moroccan Chicken, and you should be, it is delicious but for me they do a really amazing Steak Frites that is cooked to perfection. I ordered mine "à point" or medium rare and it was absolutely as advertised. My husband had the Cuban on gluten free bread and was very happy with it.

We ordered a round of classic drinks (mojito, whiskey sour, gin and tonic, Malibu and pineapple juice - we're not big drinkers) and each drink was on point and not overly heavy on the liquor, which I appreciate. We weren't famished, so we all ordered burgers and sandwiches, which were quite good, especially my Cubano I want to return to try some entrees - like the butternut squash risotto - which looked interesting and promising! But the star of this evening was their TRUFFLE FRIES! These were infused with truffle oil, fried to perfection, and so, so delicious! We actually ordered more when the servings we were sharing weren't enough. I would return JUST for those. We shared a bread pudding, which was also lovely and light, topped with a scoop of creamy and not cloyingly sweet vanilla gelato. Overall, a great meal, with a friendly and relaxed vibe. I'll be back.

I got there and waited while the staff and a customer were socializing and ignoring me. The standard 'we don't care and we want you to know it.' There is food that is prepackaged from other companies. I did not really look at it since I am here for the 2 Michelin star in house cooked food not something that can be purchased in a lot of places. I chose to get a golden raisin muffin because the scone had nuts in it. The muffin is $6.50 which is what you expect from fancy places. It tasted really delicious and much better than supermarket and bakery muffins. This was a nice once in a lifetime stop, but it is not somewhere to return. I understand it is a farm and has to be further removed from society, but the time constraints are too much.

Our lunch consisted of a pastrami-like sandwich, delicious gazpacho, salad, and cheesecake with berries on top. The meal came with a Spindrift drink. It was refreshing and filled us up. Next-door to the main cafeteria, still on the property, is a very swanky exclusive looking hall with a very classy bar. After our tour and lunch, we capped our visit with a drink each. Such a unique experience and I definitely recommend it for special occasions. (Please note this is a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it.) It's more than just a meal, and becomes a core memory!
