Always happy to try a vegan restaurant! The menu options are all amazing. I ordered the hot girl wrap which was equal parts spicy, flavorful, and fresh. I ordered ahead of time and the process was quick and easy. Excited to come back and try something else! read more

Rooted AF was great! I don't typically eat strictly vegan, but I decided to give it a try because their buffalo cauliflower bites looked delicious and wow, they did not disappoint! Perfectly crispy with amazing sauce on the side, as well as a kale side salad. The staff member who took my order, which I have a feeling was the owner, was incredibly kind, hand-delivering our food to the table and helping me navigate some menu favorites since it was my first time. The food hall itself is clean, modern, and has a steady lunch flow with plenty of great options, with this spot definitely being a good one! read more

We got empanadas, Pinky Cole cheesesteak, fries, and loaded sweet potato. Everything was fab. She was super nice. The food court is cool. Highest recommendation. Note that they appear to close at 6:30, not 7. read more

CHEF D!!!! holy moly!!!! i took a bite of the chop cheese and just about died in bliss!!! how is this healthy?!? but it is!!! you can tell by how it feels! chop cheese with kale in it, perfectly massaged beforehand so it's delicious!!! like ...kale in a chop cheese is a bold move and Chef pulled it off PERFECTLY. the veggies in it, peppers, etc were perfectly cooked crispy fresh and flavored. i mean... WHAT. how. WHAT. can't wait to come back!!! also, being from nyc my partner and i do try vegan chop cheese wherever we can. we've done the big names. but ROOTEDAF is the one!!!! who knew DELAWARE of all places would have it? PS!! they don't put sugar/cane processed sugar in their beverages!!! they use natural blue agave instead. so we tried the sorrel. (so hard to find a healthy version!!) and YES!!!! delicious!!!! read more

The food is incredible, I ordered the jerk mushroom cheesesteak for there and two empanadas to go for my lunch the next day. Just absolutely delicious, freshly made, friendly service and so worth the trip there to eat. We also were able to eat outside on a covered patio, which just added to the experience. I need one of these closer to home. Also we used the garage parking for convenience, so easy to get to. read more

Wanted to check out Chancery Court. Floor looks like it hasn't been mopped in a while. However our RootedAF experience was great! Loved the service! Had a great discussion about what we should order. Enjoyed the meal and drinks! (Black AF and Malibu Sunset) read more

Tried all three empanadas- totally lived up to the "best damn empanadas" sign. So cool to have an all vegan menu!!!

Delicious vegan food! Though grubhub's delivery was atrocious and with truly zero communication upon delivery. Despite this will eat here again asap. read more

Great vegan food and just food in general, quick and well priced, plus I like the name

The food is out of this world! Looks like maybe one should avoid the Jicama wrap, but otherwise, everything else I've seen and had is excellent. The beef and cheese empanadas are out of this world! I mean they alone are worth having as your only meal and traveling from Philadelphia just to have- they are that could. Juicy "meat", flavorful dough- just all around crispy and tender and oh-so-good! You don't have to be a vegetarian to go ecstatic about this. It's one of Wilmington's latest best kept secrets. Some may say the preparation time can be like 10-30 minutes because there is so much care to the food and a lot of orders. This place could definitely use some more staff than one person if it's feasible. The strawberry crunch cupcake is flavorful and familiar cupcake textures. The samplers I had at an event beforehand doesn't do justice to capture the quality of flavor and texture of the cupcakes served here. Strong strawberry flavor with a sliver of jam (not too much but just right) and the flavored crumbs complementing the cupcake so well. The smoothie was a healthy blend of different juices and I couldn't have enough of it. In a market that typically only locals might visit because Wilmington doesn't stand out as a city to many, the market itself is beautiful with local musicians who do acoustic performances of your favorite modern, 90s or older cover (you don't usually get to choose), and maybe some local originals depending on the band. Clean facility, visually appealing, clean and plentiful bathrooms, finding the location can be a bit tricky as the windy roads to find downtown can be a bit awkward to an outsider. The garage actually has 3 levels and not two levels like I originally thought, as the basement level "entrance" is at the end of the ground level parking. Don't drive? "No problem!" Take that d@m# regional rail to the Wilmington stop, and then walk those 18 minutes or so to the other side of town to eat here. You won't regret it! When you go in, if you don't notice the elevator to your right, there is another one across the hallway on your left, then if you took the one on your left, you have to cross the big lobby area to get to the market. Also, I received a Chancery discount card at a Yelp Elite event and it had a QR code on it. The code did not apply a discount at all and RootAF told me only certain vendors took this discount and they weren't one of them. The food here is too good and also of anyone needs to get docked, it is the Chancery market for such a gimmicky card and not RootedAF. You know if it's a bit hard to get to and locals are still coming out that it HAS to be good. Rooted AF fits right in! 11/17/23 addition: #ThankYouThursday for having a place that offers quality, flavorful food at reasonable prices and even in a less noticed venue for non-locals. Making a healthy alternative delicious and not feeling like I am eating medicine! read more

I tried this during HBCU week and I was so happy to have a vegan option for food. It was fresh hot and delicious I wish I could've brought more back with me to California. Highly recommend for any folks looking for vegan options! You must try the Pinky Cole! The staff and owner were also very friendly! read more

Rooted AF. - (V) The Pinky Cole was so delicious! - Vegan Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Located in "the CHANCERY MARKET Food Hall & Bar" (i.e. food court) with indoor as well as outdoor patio seating, this is a comfortable spot to get a meal. Convenient to 95, you're only a few miles off the interstate. Maps will take you to the parking garage. We opted for a parking meter not knowing parking would be validated inside. Good to know for next time. My son and I got vegan chicken cheesesteaks. We both found our meal delicious and satisfying. The price of food has gone up everywhere hence a tad more than I expected. But no matter, the friendliness of the servers, the cherry ambience, and the quality of the food, (as well as it being all vegan, sparing us any headaches clarifying the diet) make this a place we will keep on our radar when taking this particular road trip route in the future. YES: 100% Vegan read more

Rooted AF. - (V) Empanada - 1 Beef and Cheese (V) Chopped Cheese - Vegan Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Phenomenal. Love love love. Happy with everything about this place. I had the *privilege* of enjoying the pinky cole (jerk philly cheesesteak), fries, and empanadas. First of all, everything's vegan which is GREAT for my food allergies. It's hard to come by delicious vegan food, but this is it my friends. The empanadas were also to die for, I could probably eat 10 in one sitting. The fries have a special little seasoning on it that may not be for everyone but worth a try. The owner is amazing, super sweet. The Chancery itself is a cute little spot for a date night or a family or friends night out, would definitely recommend checking out. Convenient parking structure attached with free parking on the weekdays! I will definitely be back. And often. read more

Whenever I stop by, the service is always pleasant, and the food is consistently fresh and tasty. It's a lovely spot within a food hall, perfect for a quick bite to eat. I especially enjoy their juice options--the charcoal lemonade is fantastic! read more

Really excellent vegan food. Full of flavour and you can't tell it's vegan. Some of the best if not the best I've ever had.

Frequented this place for their slap bugers on GF bun with fries. Total for my wife and I was $38.99. Always asked for and received plastic fork and knife, ketchup and mustard. Today no knife, got some ketchup packs and mustard was 50 cents extra. How petty to charge 50 cents extra for a condiment that is available everywhere you go for free. Person who took our order was none too friendly and made us feel like we were bothering her. Last time they see us. read more

The service is always good good when I go The food is very good and it's all VEGAN!!! Very tasty good selection, and house made natural drink and the pastries and really good too You want some good food for vegans and non vegans It's located in the Chancery Market (food hall) Really nice place to go get a bit to eat and drink or chill read more

Updated review is as follows because of the food court's online ordering system confirming my order but not actually sending the order to the restaurant. The first review I left was unfair to Rooted AF and was a reflection of the food court and/or the third party online ordering system, NOT the restaurant itself. I got the slap burger, fries, beef and cheese empanada, and soft girl era drink. I didn't personally try the food because it was for someone else, but she told me it was all really good. The vegan beef was very meaty and hearty. Chipotle crema sauce in the burger was fantastic and worked so well in it. The drink was a soft girl era, which I forgot what it is, but it was also really good. Like the best lemonade you ever had, but with a really nice herbal taste to it. Terrell, the gentleman who took my order over the phone was very knowledgeable and knew all the drinks and everything off the top of his head to help me order. My girlfriend picked the food up and said he was very professional and laid back and friendly. 6/5 stars read more

i've been coming here on and off since i started school in the city 3 years ago. this place never lets me down and i never get sick of it (which says something bc i can't eat the same thing over and over). the customer service is 10/10. especially the gentleman who has helped me the past two times i came here. the food is so flavorful and filling. if you're looking for recs, i'd say get the beef empanada or chopped cheese (both vegan, obviously). read more

Very good service And great food. Being vegan for almost 4 years been to a lot of spots that was good, but this one was top tier read more

Rooted AF. - a cup of coffee on a table - Vegan Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Had a staff meeting at Hercules Plaza and finally had a chance to try the plant-based restaurant inside Chancery Market Food Hall & Bar. My boss ordered for the table so I got to try the "chopped cheese" and the Thai "chicken" wrap which were both deliciously flavorful. My favorite appetizer was the empanadas OMG I hate I had to share them lol. If you go with more than 3-4 people and you like good empanadas, do yourself a favor and order at least 2 because foodies will love them. What impressed me even more than the food was speaking to the owner iamholisticnik and learned she is a certified nutritionist. It's nice when you see the owner look and talk the part, so I left feeling even more confident about what I put into my body. The overall vibe and ambiance was great because I had the choice to sit inside & enjoy the A/C or go outside on this beautiful patio. I can see myself coming back once a week for a sea moss smoothie and patio views to break up the monotony of working from home. I'll end this lengthy recap and respond to the 1 star review that had a problem with the portion size. I personally like being able to take something I enjoyed home after I've gone out and spent my hard earned money or in this case my boss's money. read more

The chopped cheese was made fresh and very tasteful. I also had the hibiscus tea. The owner/ staff members were very nice and helpful. This is located in a shopping plaza with a lot other vendors and plenty of seating to eat in. read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Love the energy of the owner who cares about a customers. I would eat there again.

Fresh juices and vegan cuisine tucked in the corner of The Chancery Market is a must to visit in Wilmington, DE. There is heart and soul in the preparation of the food, which translates as full of flavor. The staff gives great recommendations if you're not sure what to order. This will definitely be a staple for me. read more

Went to Chancery to FINALLY check out Rooted....I have to say, not only was I satisfied, but it actually exceeded my expectations. I had the jerk cheesesteak and it was so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the empanada which as pretty good as well. However I wish I would have eaten it first. I would ABSOLUTELY come back and I look forward to telling everyone to try. Even if you're not vegan, I challenge you to give it a chance! read more

LOVED the Loaded Sweet Potato - amazing!! Will definitely be back to try more awesome items!

Please try the empanadas because WOW you won't be disappointed!! I am not vegan but I may have to be after eating these. Super clean environment and great energy from the staff. Would definitely recommend for a snack, lunch, or dinner event! read more

Yummy vegan food. Good for a treat when we want take out. Haven't eaten inside so I can't say what the ambiance is like or the service.

We have eaten here several times because the food was delicious. I'm not sure what changed but the empanadas were overly seasoned and I believe the grease was old. Even the fries were bad and even after they recooked them. We will try again before ruling it out. Love the location. read more
