    Root'd Eggs Bene
    Raha M.

    Cute café with delicious beignets and eggs bene. Emily was a very sweet and friendly server. Highly recommend!

    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.

    This is such a sweet restaurant. It's converted from a 7-11 but is adorable and it's fun they have a huge fridge. We started with an appetizer of deviled eggs which had the cutest little pickles on them and were very yummy. The salad had avocado and goat cheese which were nice additions. The steak was a bit chewy but also very pink. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had great seasonings. They make their sauces in house and I really enjoyed the garlic sauce they put on the fries. The servers were very kind and professional. I would love to come back and try their breakfast.

They have something like 10 taps, lots of it is pretty nice craft beer. On Tuesdays, it's only $2! Apparently they have been offering this deal for decades! What's the catch? They are operating as a restaurant so in Utah, you are required to order food with your drinks. They do have some cheaper food options and the servers are very cool with you sharing food. I recommend getting a pizza to share! As far as the food is concerned, it's your pretty standard bar/pub food but a little bit more upscale. So, it's a good spot if you're looking for something that everyone will enjoy. Their pizzas are popular and very reasonably priced. Porcupine is also a great location for post mountain activities and right along multiple trail routes. I frequently find myself here after an intense outdoor activity, looking for air conditioning and good food. The nice thing about them operating as a restaurant is that it's kid friendly! They also have a really nice patio with a beautiful view! See you there on Tuesday!

Hospitality should never depend on how much you're spending or what you order.

She raved about the flavor and could only finish half. I ordered a unique taco which had an authentic name this gringo cannot remember but it was built on a house made corn tortilla about twenty inches long and ten inches wide. Steak, Mexican cream, tomatillo sauce, freshly shredded lettuce and cheese. I've never had anything like it but it is awesome. The service was quick and efficient. Very delightful people.

"Don't worry honey, it's okay to look, and also throw money at the half-naked women! I promise you won't get in trouble!" Uh-huh. ;) Alright, I digress. Awkwardness aside, Prohibition is a really great place to enjoy a classy dinner, where the meat is served on a place AND on stage, and the cheesecake comes with the price of admission! Speaking of admission, as my wife and I were guests, being shepherded along by our friend, I cannot recall exactly what the "cover charge" was (not much, if I remember correctly...less than $20 for two?), and if reservations are *required*, I cannot say for certain, but I would say they are *recommended* at the very least, because our showtime was packed. Anyway, once paid, you are escorted through a secret bookcase door (SLC residents sure do love their speakeasies, don't they?), and into the dining hall and saloon, where you're soon to have your socks knocked off...well, someone's clothes are coming off, anyway! We were given a table that I dismissively thought was tucked away pretty far in the back and out of the way, but it ended up being one of the best seats in the house, as the table where the performers gathered, prepped, and returned to was just adjacent to us, so we were about as up close and personal as you can get, without getting yourselves arrested. Each of the dancers brought their own style, flair, and wardrobe to their performances, which were spirited and energetic, and a touch racy, without devolving into outright debauchery. It may be an (18+? 21+?) venue, but alcohol restrictions aside, I wouldn't hesitate to take older, more mature teens to a show with similar content. We ordered a smattering of smaller dishes, as we weren't particularly hungry, but the Mishima Wagyu tacos were fantastic (as you would expect), as was the Fedora Fin (Za'atar-crusted ahi tuna), and all of our cocktails. As the show is timed event with multiple performances per night, both food and bev are fired out of the kitchen/bar faster than the bullets from a Tommy Gun, but with far better accuracy. The whole operation here was honestly very impressive, from start to finish. Coming from a progressive city like Portland, it's always struck me a little odd that places that, by reputation, strike you as more conservative end up having some of the best, most wild entertainment venues, that you only wish you had back home. Prohibition is one of these places that I would rather see in my downtown, instead of the litany of seedy strip joints pushing for maximum titilation, but with only a fraction of the class and sophistication. Prohibition is good, clean fun, masquerading as something illicit, which is the heart of what makes it work so well.
