    Mushroom Bowl
    Keisha R.

    Rooted Rotisserie is a local neighborhood gem that deserves all the attention and accolades it gets. This is for a January 2026 visit. From the family style decor that makes it feel like home, to the fresh flavors and music...it really felt like I was dining at my aunties house. The server pacing was a little off but I was thankful for the notice that I was grabbing the last salmon. I would have liked a little history about the dishes. The food was quick to arrive & warm. Delicious, cheers to the chef. I have and will continue to go back because placing my dollars in the hands of my community is always first!!

    The wings were delicious. There was a spicy sauce and a taziki type sauce that accompanied the wings. I ordered the special Denver Steak with Risotto and Swiss Chard. The steak was tender and the risotto was perfect. Risotto is hard to cook. When the plate came I couldn't help but smile. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Cute place across the street from Hollins market. Amanda one of the owners was there speaking with customers. We sat by the wall with both she and her husband's family.

    First time guest and I had a good experience! They've been on my list for a while and came highly recommended so I was excited to try them out. I had a reservation for 2 at 6:30pm, and we were seated quickly, it wasn't super crowded but it was pretty full. I spent $56 including their automatic 18% gratuity. They are a bit pricey and they don't split checks by items but you can pay with multiple cards. The food was delicious though! I got the duck confit ($28) and the house drink by the glass (a lemonade--$5) along with lemon cake for dessert. I've never had duck and it was cooked to perfection! No notes on the food, everything was great. The person I was with had the half chicken and she liked it a lot too. It was a bit warm inside and parking was pretty easy. Customer service was good. Love supporting a black owned restaurant too. Overall I would highly recommend and I would visit again.

    Came back and was so happy I did. I hosted a few women in the area for a dinner so the stakes were high because I gawked over how good Rooted was on my first visit. They did not disappoint! They had a little name tag and our table was ready when we arrived. As always, customer service felt like home. The staff is so kind and relatable, I'm not sure how to describe it but they're down to earth, personable. As said before, the location is cozy, warm, it feels like you're at an aunties house for dinner. I will recommend Rooted until my lungs are blue.

    Delicious food and great ambiance. Sat at the bar and it took FOREVER to be serviced after they provided us water. Other than that the food was really good and I would return.

    We had a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes for the table to be cleared, which I appreciated because they didn't rush to kick out the previous guests. The host and our server were very kind, I let them know it was my friend's birthday to see if they do anything for birthdays (they do). Our food came out at a decent speed and it was GOOD! When we entered the restaurant, it smelled amazing so I knew the food wouldn't disappoint. Even without the sauces, the chicken tasted fantastic. Overall, I would come again and try different items off the menu.

    Good food, good prices, beautiful restaurant, great drinks, service a little questionable. Came with a reservation on Saturday night which I definitely recommend. There's tons of street parking out front - it is metered but ends at 6pm. My husband and I split a half chicken, a side of fries and a Caesar salad. We also each got a cocktail. The chicken was delicious, skin was crispy and chicken was tender, really a special dish. We got the truffle aioli dip which we loved. The fries were crispy and plentiful. The Caesar salad I think had real anchovies in the sauce, which I know is traditional but it's definitely a unique taste! Cocktails were delicious too. Only negatives were some service issues: it took a long time to get water and be greeted by a server after we were seated. Then, we placed cocktail order right away and they didn't come for until after our food came (which we ordered later). Very strange and a poor flow for food/drinks. The bar seemed backed up so this could have to do with it but for a Saturday night, that's prime time. Overall we had a nice time, the food was priced reasonably and there's a few other dishes I'd come back to try!

    Mac and Cheese

    I didn't have any expectations coming in and left with an extremely positive feeling! Just a great vibe all around. Good music and the ownership group is extremely warm. We got the half chicken, pepper steak, Brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. It was all amazing. We felt the need to get the chicken because of the name and it did not disappoint. The skin was crispy and the meat was extremely juicy! There are no sides, but they come with a variety of sauces. Get the pepper sauce!!!!! We got the the pepper steak. I was thrown off but it was still great. It's my fault, but it is actually a short rib. Very filling and the portions are huge. GET THE MAC AND CHEEESE!!!!! So good. It's a creamy Mac and cheese with a nice top layer crust. The portions are huge. I would recommend sharing! It's a great way to try everything. Would come back again just to even hang by the bar. Great music and decor.

    Came for my first outing with the work crew. I must say that the food was good, fresh and fast. It's not a big place but the hostess and server were on point. They have happy hour 4-6 pm. I got the shrimp and the mushroom bowl which were delicious. Nice vibe and street parking. I'll be back!

    The service was TOP TIER. I have to say that first. Here's why I say this: because of their limited hours, it's hard to get into. Everyone had a reservation because they knew lol I was just operating on vibes. And even then, they fit me into the bar. I wouldn't try it again though haha. I'll get a reservation. Even with a relatively full house, they were attentive and pleasant. If you're gluten free, there's not a ton of choices but they do work with you. In fact, when they ask for your order they also ask if you have any allergies or food concerns. I ordered the sparkling water with the half chicken and the baked potato, but the fixings on the side. I asked the waitress what sauce she usually gets and she suggested getting the white truffle aïoli with the pepper sauce. She did NOT steer me wrong. The half chicken was great and I liked that I was able to customize my potato. My only critique is that the plates were too small and they should give you automatically two sauces for the chicken. Anyway, I've told all my friends about it. We'll be back and I will be getting the house-made peach tea next time.

    Finally experienced Rooted Rotisserie. Ive had it bookmarked for a while. The space is cozy so be prepared to be nestled close to the next table. The service was good. We tried the namesKe chicken. It was tender, but would have loved more pronounce flavor. The sauces did that trick. The truffle aioli and aleppo citrus (cant remember the exact name) tasted as named. The stArs of the show were the homemade ranch and the pepper sauce both were A1 and tasty. The ranch was nothing like the bottled stuff. It was dill forward and had a nice flowing consistency. Im typically not a spicy gal but the peppa sauce was so flavorful. You not only experience heat, you get depth of flavor. Another star was the mac and cheese. creamy rich and decadent. Perfectly al dente noodles in a cheesy sauce. I tasted Gouda which is my fav cheese. The shrimp were cooked just right. Even though I typically dont like the licorice flavor of fennel I didn't experience that on the shrimp. The broccolini was nice and crunchy. The sides had nice portions for sharing. The gauva was also good. Mac & shrimp were my fav.

    Love this place for its liveliness, hospitality, music... and did I mention food? I've been here three times, as this is where I bring my special folks to celebrate their birthdays. The space itself appears to be a renovated house with a simple clean design, very hip spot with a mix of nouveau soul, Afro beat and world music that gets you in the mood for a chill evening of good dining. Staff is genuinely friendly and accommodating, definitely helpful with different selections featured. But the food is what it's about. On all three visits, we've enjoyed the rotisserie chicken, both succulent and crispy. Definitely a hit. The Mac and cheese is dense and cheesy, maybe not as flavorful as expected, but good. On all three visits, we've gotten the braised cabbage which although flavorful, has been either perfectly al dente or somewhat mushy. Brussels sprouts are an excellent choice, as are the truffle fries and the loaded baked potato. Definitely planning a solo trip one evening to chill at the bar with the mushroom bowl.

    Rooted has been on my list ever since I had it recommended to me almost a year ago. We finally found the opportunity to go, so I made a reservation (highly recommend doing this if you want to get a table). It's a small, intimate space. The service was impeccable throughout the meal and the food was equally excellent. Funny enough, though we came for the rotisserie chicken our favorite dishes ended up being the sides. The Mac and cheese, potatoes, and brussels sprouts were all standouts. That isn't to say that the chicken was bad, because it was delicious. The sides just stole the show! The mushroom bowl was also a great combination of flavors. You definitely get great value, both in the quality and quantity of food and the reasonable prices. Can't wait to come back and show off this gem to any and all visitors to Baltimore.

    Before our flight home, we came here with a reservation so we could grab a meal before heading to…read morethe airport. When we arrived, we were seated right away, but it seemed like there were very few staff working--possibly only one waiter. It took about 10 minutes before we finally had to flag him down just to place our order. The food then took around 25-30 minutes to come out, which felt very long since we were on a tight schedule for our flight. When the food finally arrived, I ordered the macaroni and cheese, and unfortunately it was the worst mac and cheese I've ever had. I don't want to be mean, but it was very bland and really needed salt. My sister surprisingly liked it, but it just wasn't for me at all. The rest of my family did enjoy their meals, and I thought the fries were decent, just lightly seasoned. My mom especially liked the grilled cheese. The waiter himself was nice and kept our drinks refilled, so I don't think the long wait was entirely his fault. The restaurant is very cute inside with cozy, old-style vibes and festive Christmas decorations, which I really liked. However, between the long wait times, the limited menu, and my disappointing mac and cheese, I wouldn't recommend that dish. Overall, it's a charming place, but the service was too slow for us--especially when trying to catch a flight.

    We were staying at the Lord Baltimore Hotel around the corner and since our hotel did not have a…read morerestaurant, it was quite convenient to come to the Kimpton Hotel. Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me. Maybe it was NYE but everything was quiet and nice.

    We were delighted to find out that this place is open until 10:00 pm (a rare find in Baltimore)…read morewhen we were in the neighborhood later one evening and needed a drink and a snack. The space is gorgeous - super high ceilings, giant chandelier, velvet couches - a very old school elegant vibe. The beer and wine selection were small, but very good. We split the rigatoni bolognese, which was phenomenal. The pasta was cooked properly and the sauce was chunky and tangy and amazing. Would definitely come back for a real meal at some point.

According to their menu, "We are proudly building a worker-cooperative serving story-worthy food from around the world." There were certainly dishes from around the world, and the menu is very flexible for a variety of diners (dishes are marked as vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free). My friend and I shared the crispy cauliflower and tahini, which was well-fried and delicious. I also appreciated their drink offerings. My friend and I had and enjoyed a couple of glasses of Lebanese Sauvignon Blanc (from Mersel Wine). I had the Farmers Market Za'atar Salad (cucumber, shaved beet, fennel, pomegranate, pickled jalapeno, mint, fried pita, baby greens, and za'atar yogurt dressing), to which I added falafel. Unfortunately, I found the salad to be quite dry (not dressed enough and then the falafel and the pita crisps just compounded that) and served in a dish that made it quite hard to eat without spilling half the salad on the table. The service was friendly but perhaps not very attentive. I got up to ask our server for the check after waiting for a bit of time for her to make her way to us. I wasn't wowed by the food, but I love Mera's concept and their space. I'd be happy to give it another chance to wow me. I'd also be happy to return for mezze/small plates and wine.
