I was excited to go to Roots ever since I moved to Maricopa because of the great reviews. I'm happy to say that it lived up to expectations! The restaurant is small but they have a nice patio option as well. Our server, Tyler, was wonderful - very attentive and personable. And the food was amazing! At our table we got the peppered shrimp pasta (delicious, spicy and filling) the flat iron steak (perfectly seasoned and cooked) and the special which was chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes were honestly one of the best I've ever had and I need the recipe. I was too full to try the other sides but everything looked great. I am excited to come back as there are a ton of things on the menu that I want to try, and I love that they have specials! Also I need to try brunch! Will definitely be making this one of our go-to spots. read more

Small businesses feel inside cozy and feels exclusive. Pricey food but worth every penny if you would like a nice date night def go here! Would recommend reserving if you're able there are very limited seating spots. Delicious dinners! read more

Tried the fish n chips today. Very good, the fish was crispy with really good flavor. read more

Roots Eatery - Fish n chips - American Near Me - Maricopa, Arizona

I've lived in Maricopa for 9 years & today was the first time I've experienced this restaurant. This lovely diner will now be a place we eat at on a regular basis. They have a sign in the restaurant that reads. "Bringing Families Back to the dinner table one meal at a time." It's happening hear! We had brunch & it was by far one of the best brunches we've had. You'll see from my review history we eat out often as an escape out of Maricopa & I don't want frugal people wasting their money for clicks. We were seated immediately. The food took about 20 minutes but it was hot & good. My husband enjoyed his meal. read more

My husband and I tried Roots Eatery for breakfast this morning and it did not disappoint. We both had our own little French Press for our coffee. You can't beat French Press coffee...it was delicious! I ordered the Garden Scramble with Hashbrowns. It came with a lot of feta cheese, which I love. It was a great breakfast. My husband did confuse our waitress ordering a custom omelet, so maybe ordering off menu is not the best idea. Other than the confusion the food was great. The Service was friendly. The restaurant is small, but very cute and nicely decorated. We look forward to going again. read more

We were in Maricopa visiting my sister in law & wanted to take her somewhere for lunch. We chose Roots based off of the great reviews. The food was terrific! I got the chicken sandwich & mixed fries (sweet potatoes and regular). My husband got French toast & loved that as well. The place is small and simple inside, however, the service was wonderful & we were able to sit and visit with our family for hours without being kicked out. We really appreciated that. We will definitely be stopping in again, next time we are in the area. read more

Roots made the entire experience hassle free. I received many compliments on their food & the friendliness of the service. I highly recommend them. Nadene read more

Well...we liked it so much we ate here twice in one day, once for breakfast and again for dinner. We were staying at Ak Chin Ang and wanted to try a local establishment. We are so happy we did. Breakfast was fantastic and the coffee was phenomenal. We came back for dinner and we were totally impressed. My steak was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. Fantastic!! My wife's salmon was cooked to perfection. We are so happy we tried Roots Eatery!! We will be back. read more

Love this place! I order the Salmon and smashed potatoes twice a month at least! Their breakfast scrambles are amazing too.

Roots eatery has quickly became our favorite brunch spot! Everything we've tried on the menu so far has been great!! I love their panini sandwiches and the fries are always crispy and flavorful. You order at the front counter and they bring out your food. There indoor and outdoor seating which is really nice when AZ starts having this cooler weather. It's a cozy spot, very welcoming! read more

The weather was perfect for sitting outside. Patio was clean and we were greeted and sat right away. Service is always friendly and welcoming. My sister and I shared this salad plus the Mahi Mahi with asparagus, a baked potato, and a dessert. I would've gotten a picture of the rest but I was ready to dive in. We were both well fed and very happy with our visit read more

I'm not normally a fan of order-at-the-counter venues, but this one was very nice. Great service, friendly team, food served on real plates. The Hubbs tried the Inside Out burger (it's a cheeses-stuffed burger) and they let him substitute Swiss cheese. I had the Brie and fig jam grilled sandwich. Both served with fries. We will definitely return to try breakfast - especially the Benny that are only served weekends. read more

This place is a hoot. Servers were totally on point with our family, making sure we were taking care of without being annoying. A few of us were recovering from some sick and couldn't eat anything too heavy so we opted for soups and boy did they deliver. We will probably visit again to take on something more solid but otherwise a great place in Maricopa. It's tucked out of the way and rather quiet when we went. read more

Nice clean restaurant, and my meal was fantastic. I had a breakfast with donuts, and this delicious sausage.

First time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised. The waiter was prompt, helpful and professional. We sat outside and it was delightful. Food was beyond excellent! I highly recommend this place! Great job Roots!! read more

For where it's located in maricopa it was a great choice for non fast food. We got lunch not breakfast , the plates passing us by looked like good size portions. I ordered the Cesar w chicken and my companion order the chicken sandwich . The flavor in the chicken was tasty , the lettuce was fresh and the portion was generous . I could make 2 meals out of it . My friends sandwich had a great tasting pesto like sauce , the bacon was thick and well seasoned . The down side was the cooking of the chicken . The ventilation in the shop was not working very well . The high flashpoint made the cafe start to get smoky to a point my friend had to walk out for a few minutes to catch their breath . In turn both of us noticed the chicken was w a crunchier coating to the outside but the inside was tender and juicy ones you peeled off the overcooked crust. But overall we would rerun again to give them another try , especially for breakfast read more

Best food I've had in Maricopa so far. Everything was delicious. Had the Reuben, blt Benedict, and crème brûlée. Service was excellence and smell of food when I entered made me hungry right away. I will return. read more

Four of us dined here. The short ribs pasta was fantastic and would highly recommend!! The chicken Marsala was also delicious. However, it went downhill from there. I got the chicken Marsala with fingerling potatoes and the potatoes were both cold and they were so over salted they were inedible. When I told the waitress, her response was that she knew that and should have warned me so they could put less salt on them, which I found odd. My hubs got the seafood linguine and it was so incredibly spicy he could not eat it. When talked to the owner/manager he said the menu said it had pepper flakes so not his problem (paraphrasing). They really did not seem to care that our experience was bad. Really a disappointment because it seems like there is potential. But won't eat there again when the staff doesn't take pride in what they do and do not care when there is a legitimate concern. Btw, this is the bad review I've ever given, I'm not a critical person generally. read more

Breakfast is amazing! The coffee is hot! And the ambiance is wonderful, I love the home cooked feeling

Great service, good food. But the iced tea was terrible. My sister had the monte Cristio and my niece had the Roots breakfast platter. Left fell and happy! read more

Love this place! The food is always excellent. We were worried when we discovered that they had changed their dining process and had changed some of their offerings. However, we were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the patio and being waited on. Soooo, yes, we will continue to return to this venue. read more

11-2 is brunch. Closed for 2 hrs to prep for dinner. Walk in, register is up front. Self seating. Menus at tables. Decide meal at table (or register), order & pay at register. Items are delivered to table. Coffee brought out in a french press. Roots scramble was absolutely divine!! I really enjoyed it. So much so that the chocolate chip pancakes were plain in comparison. I'd love to come back & try more brunch or the dinner menu. read more

Very good food prepared fresh by a local chef. The service was very good and our server explained everything. Including the fact that their liquor license doesn't allow for you to carry out an open bottle. So, if you order a bottle of wine you have to finish it or leave it. No problem for us to finish a bottle. Small but organized nicely and decorated well. read more

Small and quiet little restaurant with BIG flavor. I love that the menus changes. The prices are reasonable. Drinks are great and the staff is always friendly. I would put the quality of food up with the best of anything in Phoenix-Metro in this price range. Heck I might even say top 10 restaurant period in PHX. read more

Food 5 stars !!! Loved the eggs Benedict ! I prefer the weekdays for breakfast and lunch meals. The employees are friendly and the food is amazing. read more

Met friends at this trendy little establishment for lunch over the weekend. I chose Roots based on their menu and it did not disappoint! Two of us had a breakfast selection and two of us had a lunch selection and everyone was impressed. I have no idea how they come up with the variety of offerings they have out of that small kitchen but it's magic. My prediction is that Roots will be relocating to a bigger space in just a few years! read more

Food was delicious, well prepared, and generous. Service was very good. Best food in town in my opinion.

This place is great. I love the food here cause it's always fresh and made just right every time. They change up the menu every so often so I love the variety. The service is good too because they're always willing to help answer questions and offer recommendations. The decor gives it like a homey vibe so I feel comfortable when I eat there. Plus they have a nice patio if I feel like sitting outside in a nice day. read more

Holy smokes, overachieved my expectations! I had the crab cakes and they may have been one of the best things I've put into my mouth. The roots salad was huge! Done very nice, if I had a slight complaint the candied walnuts needed some help, but overall a delicious salad.. The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. I'd love to come back and have something else. A true joy! read more

Great food and fantastic people. If you want to have a memorable dining experience try Roots Eatery.

Our first time and it definitely will not be our last. Everything was fresh and flavorful and the staff was extremely helpful. We had dietary restrictions and the staff let us know that one of the dishes we ordered had bacon grease as part of the ingredients and allowed us to change our appetizer to accommodate our needs. My steak was cooked as I had ordered and was tender as well as flavorful. The Raspberry Bellini was extremely tasty as well. read more

I've always wanted to eat here, but I could never find enough information to feel comfortable. I didn't know if there was indoor seating, I couldn't find a menu or pricing... But I had company in town and decided to wing it. They DO have indoor seating, very cute and simple. They are very reasonably priced, less than most places in town with much better fare and cleaner ingredients. Service was so pleasant and accommodating, the menus had plenty of options for all tastes. If you've been thinking about trying Roots, this is your sign to go! read more

This place is very small and always busy, so arrive early, and if you can't get in, keep trying different days until you do - IT'S WORTH IT!! The chef takes the time to personally prepare and serve each dish and his food in incredible!! He comes up with meals that are fresh, flavorful and different. The menu changes often, so I will not comment on any particular meal, but suffice it to say, you will not be disappointed. Most of the negative reviews are due to the size of the restaurant and wait times. Ignore them - as I said, this place is worth waiting for!! read more
