We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

Mediocre food and worse service. We were there a good 10 minutes before being waited on. I would…read moresay it was another 45 minutes for the food to come out and it was just a sandwich and fries. Other people at our table waited longer. Whoever reviewed the poutine fries as the best they ever had, clearly never had them elsewhere. The gravy was awful, there was melted cheese, not curds, and the fries aren't homemade. They were actually the worst I've ever had. The sandwich was a good size but just ok, nothing special. It took forever to get drinks refilled. I asked 25 minutes before we left and never got another. Once we finished eating our waitress didn't come back to the table. We had to ask others for drinks and the check. We originally went to play bingo. It was fun but didn't start on time and went all the way to 10pm.

I opted for the brisket sandwich with fresh cut fries. My sandwich was tasty. I also indulged with a special spring cocktail (Orange Crush) which was good, not sure if it's $9.00 good, but refreshing. My family had a gyro, cheesesteak and chicken steak. Sides ranged from fries, chips, and onion rings. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I don't travel out to the Monroeville area as much as I used to but this is a nice non-chain option in the area. I would consider popping in again.

Most bowls are rice, greens, and/or beans based with various vegetables for toppings. Heartier than a salad but healthier than Chipotle. I've gotten lunch there a few times and have always been satisfied. My favorite bowl is El Jefe, which comes with rice, kale, black beans, corn, red onion, avocado, and a protein topping (I like the miso tofu but you can also get chicken). The bowl also comes with cilantro/lime sauce, which I do not get because it's very salty. That's my one complaint about Roots - despite their healthy ingredients, their bowls can get quite saucy and salty if you go with the default options. This particular location is well-staffed, so service is usually quick, but it can get a rush of students around 12pm.

The bowl was good but I was a little disappointed in the portion. Roots is a little bit more expensive than other similar options but I usually don't mind as they often give me a very full bowl, but that wasn't the case with the Gary bowl. It was less full than the bowls I usually get along with being very heavy on the rice and not too much chicken or even the kale. Aside from that it was still yummy but I think I'll be going back to my regular order next time.

We arrived at 10 AM, and a friendly employee told us that we could sit at any table of our choosing. She took our order. Only one other table had customers, but we waited 30 minutes for our foods to be brought out. The employee was faster at the end when bringing our check and processing our credit-card payment. I ate a Belgian waffle with strawberries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and syrup, and I rate it as 4.5 stars. My husband ate the Creekside Omelette, which contained ham, bacon, green pepper, onion, and cheddar cheese, as well as a cream-cheese bagel, and he liked them. The total price was $21 plus tax and tip. Other breakfast foods on the menu were eggs benedict, BLT, wrap, pancakes, French toast, biscuits and gravy, corned beef, and hash, oatmeal, sides, drinks, etc.
