    Roasted Brussels with balsamic vinaigrette instead of the chipotle aioli
    Sandy T.

    I first tried this place at a Halloween Yelp event back in 2025. I've always wanted to return but it's out of my way a bit. However, I knew I HAD to return because the food, the vibe, the story - everything is so great here! My favorite dish here is the salmon quinoa entree. Such a healthy, filling, and nutritious meal. Super vibrant in colors too. Another thing I love here are their brussel sprouts. The best part about them is they are ROASTED, not fried. That makes a world of difference. Instead of the creamy chipotle aioli sauce that comes on top, I opted for the balsamic vinaigrette - much better choice in my opinion! Lighter, healthier, and yummier :) I will definitely return! OH they also allow dogs on their outside patio, which is fantastic. I will say, one of the server I had when I recently visited was ok. He was a young gentleman who practically threw my food down and walked away without saying a word. Not much hospitality there.

    Huevos, rancheros

    Atmosphere is inviting and relaxed. As soon as you walk in people are friendly and chatting with a warm cup of coffee. Our server Emily, had the bubbliest personality that contributed to our wonderful experience. The portions are plentiful and the food delicious I give this place 10 stars if I could. Highly recommended!

    Breakfast Burrito - very garlicky, not my favorite
    Camille W.

    Great breakfast spot in Cottonwood Heights. The ambiance was perfect and service great. I LOVED the Huevos Rancheros. We also ordered the breakfast burrito - which was not great. Too garlicky and the eggs were sloppy. Overall - would be back!

    This is a locally owned restaurant and it's pretty good. This restaurant opened 6 weeks before the pandemic, had to shut down during covid and is now trying to garner support again. I got the steak and frites with broccolini, the steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. The fries were well seasoned but the steak and broccolini could have used more seasoning and the beignets for dessert were ok but not great. I was hoping they would be a little more dense

    I was so excited to try Root'd Cafe. Our table tried the Brussel sprouts appetizer and they were very good. The balsamic salad was good. I loved the pistachios and goat cheese on it. I chose the steak & frites. The steak was tender and flavorful and cooked perfectly. I loved the fries with garlic aioli. The broccolini was fine but it needed more seasoning in my opinion. The beignets were decent but wish they were a little more dense. I also wish they were served with chocolate dipping sauce instead of jam but still good.

    Root'd is always a great decision whenever I go out there for dinner. The salmon and quinoa pair perfectly together and I highly recommend there fries as well. Atmosphere is welcoming and cozy.

    Sweet Beet Tacos *amazing*

    Came to this place after reviewing their menu and finding myself craving some of the items. I showed up on a weekday, around 3pm, as the only other customers in the place were leaving. I'm so glad they were open, despite obviously being slow! There was one lovely waitress, and sounded like just one cook prepping and making the food at that time. I had the prickly pear tea-lemonade, which was gorgeous and tasty, and the beet tacos. I'm not a vegetarian but they were my favorite thing I ate during my time in Utah! So good, I would (and will!) go back to try many more items on their menu!

    My friend and I were very impressed with the layout of the restaurant. They had outdoor seating and we took it knowing it is fall and we could get chilled. But we didn't mind. That is what hot tea is for. The patio we sat in had painted murals on the brick work. It was very nice. We ordered the roasted brussels sprouts to whet our appetite. We were pleasantly whetted. ;) I tell you, they put the best roast on those sprouts, they were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and the crunch melt factor was spot on!! The portion of the appetizer was very generous but not overwhelming. I ordered the salmon with quinoa, and my bestie ordered the chicken over rice. From what I could see from our dining neighbors, the dishes at Root'd are down home, comfort food. (As they should be). Simple ingredients turned into audible happy "oh my gosh you gotta try this" comments, dancing chews in our mouths! The Salmon was perfectly cooked, the portion was very fair, with a generous helping of quinoa. The greens that were served as a complement to the meal enhanced the flavor that much more. I was served a half lemon that had been grilled to perfection. I have no problem eating a lemon peel especially when it has been grilled. The grilled lemon topped the salmon perfectly. My meal was so tasty, I ate it slow to savor all of the wonderful flavor. My bestie said the chicken was very good, not dry at all, the flavors were very savory, and the rice complemented the meal very well. She said the greens that were served with her meal also complemented the chicken very well. It also came with a roasted lemon and roasted tomatoes. She said it was very delicious. We selected the ever-famous Beignets for dessert. The were rolled thin, fried to fluffy perfection, topped with confectioners' sugar and served with raspberry sauce on the side. It was getting chilly now, the server, Emily, who was very effervescent, happy, friendly and helpful brought me a hot cup of chamomile tea. She was very nice, she spoke to everyone whom she encountered. She was very sweet and attentive. I believe a person who works hard serving a customer, deserves a generous tip. She was helpful with her co-workers and their customers. I base my tipping on those factors. She brought out a cup of hot tea. That first sip of the heated water cascaded down my throat and into my tummy and filled me with a warmth that I did not expect. It was a very soothing cup of tea. One I will make my way back to Root'd for, and a repeat of our wonderful dinner out. We plan to dine inside next time. Plus we will take our honey bunches and we plan to order completely different entrees as this time.

    Cheesy hashbrowns
    Corynn B.

    We came here on a Sunday morning around 9:30am and got a table right away. I've been here a handful of times and have always had to wait a little while, but if you come before 10:30am you can be seated pretty quickly. Just note - they cannot serve alcohol until after 10:30am. They have a bunch of inside seating and they also have patio seating, in the winter it's covered patio seating and warm. Colton was our server this Sunday and was so lovely! He was wonderful! The service I've had here has always been great. We started with the beignets, of course. They come with a berry jam and you can pay $2 extra for chocolate (I think that's new? I don't remember paying extra for chocolate fondue before). They're wonderful, and the jam they come with is delicious. They come in an order of 5. I got their avocado toast and a side of hash browns. The avocado toast is okay, it's nothing super special. It comes with two pieces of toast topped with avocado slides, tomato, salt, microgreens, olive oils, and you can get balsamic on top or on the side. The hashbrowns were pretty good. You can get them topped with cheese or cheese and bacon, and I got the cheese topped hashbrowns. I was picturing actual cheese, but it came with more of a nacho cheesy sauce that I didn't particularly love. I probably wouldn't order them with the cheese again. A really cute breakfast spot with a great menu. Parking is limited, and they do get busy on the weekends. Definitely worth checking out!

The menu is an absolute playground of clean eating--you can seamlessly mix and match high-quality proteins, perfectly prepped veggies, and robust sides, then tie it all together with their incredible scratch-made sauces. Everything is vibrant, deeply flavorful, and incredibly fast, whether you're sitting down in the space or grabbing a quick takeout order on a hectic evening. It is the ultimate spot for a fast, custom meal that leaves you feeling genuinely fueled, not weighted down.

At first, it can be a bit overwhelming but the staff is very well trained and walked us through every step and each option that can meet each dietary restriction. You can either make your own plate by choosing (1) protein and and (2) sides or pick from their signature bowls or flatbread tacos. I made my own plate with blackened steelhead, which is a freshwater trout but could pass of as a salmon. For sides I tried their sweet potato hash and quinoa. Then topped it off with their green sauce, which was recommended by the staff. I love that they were able to recommend a sauce based off of the choices I made. You can also order online, which I think it is great if you're on the go and already have an idea of what you like from here. Ordering in person and getting to see the food and get help from the staff is amazing for first-timers.

I've also had better elsewhere but it's OK. Taking a long time to get out tikka masala and butter chicken. You would think that those would be stock items. Dine in and the food is served in a Costa Vida size aluminum pan with cover. Plastic fork and spoon available but no knives, which I would have liked. Not so much of a fan of the flavors. I tried my wife's tikka masala. Meh. Same for my butter chicken. It really didn't taste like butter chicken. Not the same traditional color, either, because it probably lacked tomato sauce. Well, give it a try. It's not for me. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
