I have several allergies and they were able to accommodate me perfectly! I had the maple bacon for appetizer which was absolutely delicious. Then my cowboy steak was beautifully cooked and fries were also delicious. Waiters were super nice and attentive would definetly recommend! read more

Roots Steakhouse - Bacon Slab with Maple Glaze - Steakhouses Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

See all

Roots is one of our favorite spots, and we'll definitely be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the bar is one of the best around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of my favorite touches is that they re-chill my martini glass halfway through my drink--it's those little details that make the experience feel special. The complimentary popover bread is absolutely to die for and worth the visit all by itself. We also loved the crispy Wagyu dumplings--they were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The burger was cooked exactly as ordered, and the Brussels sprouts were outstanding. The only disappointment was my filet mignon, which was unfortunately overcooked. It was the only miss of the evening, but everything else was so enjoyable that it didn't overshadow the overall experience. Great food, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere. We'll definitely be returning. read more

I had been to the Roots Steakhouse in Morristown and the one in Summit, loving them both, before I had a chance to experience their other location in Ridgewood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were there on a Friday evening to celebrate a family birthday, and the place was packed! Thankfully, beyond the bar and lounge area in the front, there were several dining areas, which had not been initially visible and could accommodate all of the hungry diners waiting for tables[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We were escorted to the bustling, rustic back room and presented with menus and their signature popovers. The large, flakey pastries had been sprinkled with cheese on the top for an added zest. They were as delicious as always. I also started with a Spicy Cherry Margarita, which packed a lot of heat, but the selected fruit flavor did not really mesh well with the spicy or smokey notes the drink exhibited. It was not my favorite marg, but it was not entirely awful. We next moved on to a few starters to share. First, there was the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, which I had previously adored at the Summit location, but found very bland on that evening. The mashed avocado, crispy wontons, and sesame seeds were all there, but the wasabi cream and ponzu sauce were barely perceptible. The Kobe Sliders were served as a trio and topped with cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. The patties were generous in size for "sliders", and they were served on sweet buns. I found these enjoyable and would get them again, though they would not be a mandatory order. Lastly, there were the Maine Lobster Bites in a lemon garlic beurre blanc with gruyere and bread crumbs. It was certainly a decadent dish and reminded me of a lobster mac and cheese without the noodles. It was richer than I typically enjoy, and the shellfish was on the chewier side, so I was not a huge fan. In terms of the entrees, there was mixed feedback around the table. First there was the lobster tail that was yet again too tough to consume. The scallops received a similar review, though I tried a scoop of the accompanying mushroom risotto, which was actually delicious. Then, there were the steaks that were all incorrectly prepared. For instance, my 8-ounce Petit Filet Mignon had been requested "medium", but arrived medium-well. No one ordered anything below medium, but most of the delivered pieces of meat were served far less cooked than that. Despite my steak being overdone, it was still enjoyable and had the nice crust for which one would hope. In addition, my side of Roasted Wild Mushrooms included an aromatic blend of shiitake, oyster, and white button varieties, all tossed in a hearty herb oil. They were fantastic! In regards to the steaks, we had let the staff know that we had been disappointed, and they graciously presented a few desserts as an apology. The Flourless Chocolate Cake was rich and gooey; it was topped with a caramel sauce and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Roots Super Sundae was a massive martini glass stuffed with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, waffle cone pieces, and fresh berries. I only tried the chocolate ice cream and found it delicious. The sundae was served with a slew of toppings like Reese's Cup pieces, M&Ms, Oreo crumbles, sprinkles, and more. It was a fun and decadent treat. However, the Roots Warm Butter Cake was the standout winner for most of us. The fluffy pound-like cake was topped with a blueberry compote, fresh whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream; it was simple, comforting, and just delightful. Overall, we appreciated the service at the Roots Ridgewood location, but found the food and overall experience disappointing, especially after we had adored their other locations. read more

This is one of the five locations Roots has. Located in trendy Ridgewood, street parking can be sparse especially on weekends. Typical NY\NJ area high end steakhouse. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is plenty of wood panel walls, tile, marble, like the library of an old private club.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is typical too for a place like this. Plenty of it and well trained. I've dined at a lot of these types of steakhouses and they are all "generally" the same. Expensive slabs of meat. Everything ala carte. Great place for a drink though as the bartenders are good with great selections of spirits, wines, and beers. But all at a high end prices. Apps: --Crispy Wagyu Dumplings; served with 2 sauces: sambal & mustard Very flavorful and different. Good choice! --Colossal Lump Crab Cake with lemon & tartar sauce; I've had better, I've had worse. -- Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with crushed avocado, crispy wontons, wasabi cream, ponzu, sesame seeds; Excellent, fresh. Great ( lighter) choice if you're have going to have slabs of beef. Entrees: --The Beef Wellington ( always a limited supply) with filet mignon, mushroom, asparagus, Hollandaise sauce was very good! --a 16 oz NY Strip was a good size but a bit boring --Roots Tailors Plate: A surf & turf of petite cut filet mignon (6 oz) & two jumbo shrimp with a scampi butter sauce was good, but you'll need appts and sides if you are hungry; Looks like a kid's portion on a large dish ( see pic) Sides: -regular mac & cheese----skip it, not worth the price. -Potatoes Au Gratin was a good version; nothing spectacular. -Creamed Corn with sweet corn puree, roasted corn, pearl onions was actually very good and I highly recommend. Desserts: - the Layered Carrot Cake with sweet cream cheese frosting (and NO raisins) was very good. --there was a Special dessert of a small yellow cake topped with vanilla ice cream and blueberries with syrup ( see pic) that was excellent; All in all a great meal ( and service) but I usually pick steakhouses once or twice a year as they all share about 80% of the same menu. Personally I rather cook a great cut of beef at home. But Its a place to splurge, blow out that AMEX, special occasions, look important and sometimes you want that. This delivers. read more

We had a fabulous dinning experience! The service was impeccable and the food was super delicious!

We visited Roots Steakhouse for my father's holiday party/dinner, which had a pre-fixe menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space had a formal vibe, with dim lighting and classic decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our event was in the back room, where tables were set up along with a seating chart. Service was attentive and professional, but I felt like the food just didn't live up to the "fanciness" of the venue. For my appetizer, I chose the Lobster Bisque, which was pretty good. I liked the creaminess and flavor, but didn't love that it only had a single chunk of lobster. For my entree, I figured the Filet Mignon would be my safest bet at a steakhouse. It wasn't bad but lacked flavor, as it was only seasoned with salt and pepper. My "medium rare" and my partner's "medium" were also cooked exactly the same, which I found odd. My mother's Chicken Parmesan, however, was much better! For dessert, everyone was given the Roots Warm Butter Cake. This one also wasn't up my alley - kind of plain and forgettable. Overall, I can't complain too much about a free dinner, but would not return on my own dime. read more

I made a reservation for Sunday lunch. Upon arrival, we were promptly taken to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant had such beautiful interior, integrated with luxurious railway car vibes, and huge bar area in front. All the furnishings, wall arts and decors were so nicely put together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu had lots of good appetizers, a raw bar section, salads, steaks, seafood and few entrees. Some of their entrees had unique options of multiple small items together, like Ultimate Roots Trio and the Roots Express lunch. I went with the first one, that came with a slider, small lobster roll and lobster bisque. The slider wasn't too good, had plain bread, patty and some crispy onion. I'd have liked to some sort of sauce in it. But the roll and soup were really good. I also got the lobster bites for appetizers. These were to die for. Soooo creamy and buttery. They put these in a dish with holes. It was such a fantastic dish. The Mac & cheese was also a good dish. We also got a complimentary bread with butter. It was huge and top quality. The service was top notch. Our server was a pro, interacted with us on many different things other than just taking and serving orders. The manager also stopped by our table multiple times, had some wonderful conversations with him. Overall we have a wonderful family lunch here. I am surprised it took me such a long time to discover this amazing steak house. Will be back for sure. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice steakhouse at downtown ridgewood. Grand design in the dining hall. It definitely gives a vibe for "formal dining".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is wonderful. Our server was tentative and friendly. Great interaction with us and our kid. We met the manager as well. Very nice guy. Professional. Food is great. I like the onion soup. They absolutely put work into the soup. Sweetness from the onion and savory from cheese complimented each other well. Crab cake sandwich and lobster are both good. Overall a great spot for date or family gatherings. read more

Roots has always been one of my favorite steakhouses in Ridgewood, whether it's for an event or just a dinner out. This is one of my more recent trips and second time being disappointed. We were able to walk right in on a Friday night without a reservation which was a huge plus. Service was just okay. Once our orders were placed it seemed as if our server was gone for extensive periods of time. We placed our drinks and appetizers first. The drinks came out rather fast as only an IPA and spicy guava margarita was ordered. The Maine lobster bites were good in flavor however it was missing either a splash of lemon or salt for some flavor as the sauce was pretty bland. Next we had the crispy shrimp scampi with their jumbo shrimp. The batter was undercooked and still doughy and definitely needed to be fried longer. The sauce however was perfect and we ended up using it on the lobster bites for better flavor. The spicy guava margarita was okay and nothing special for a featured cocktail. I ordered a watermelon Aperol spritz next and wow amazing. The watermelon flavor was strong but not overpowering and did not have that gross artificial flavor I was expecting. For dinner we ordered the prime NY strip and a filet mignon. The filet mignon was delicious, well seasoned, and cooked to the perfect medium rare. My filet mignon was okay cooked a bit more then I liked but our server was MIA for about 20-30 minutes after receiving our meals and I was starving so I suffered thru an overcooked dry steak. The potatoes au gratin were lacking flavor and seasoning which seems to be an ongoing trend for their sides. The popovers that came out at the beginning of the meal were good however the butter was rock hard and difficult to spread easily without making a giant mess. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are subtle details from my many years of coming here of their traditions that are fading away. They don't give you their history at the beginning anymore and when you get up from your table they always used to fold the napkin and place it back on your chair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also the servers most of the time now are not as presentable in appearance and often have food stains on their jackets. This trip reminded me why we stopped coming into roots for dinner. read more

Located in an area with many fine restaurant options, this steakhouse stood tall in service, food quality, and presentation. The French onion soup au gratin was, to the best of my recollection, one of, if not the best I've had. The depth of flavor in the broth, the perfect combination of crunch and soft in the croûton, and the sustained stretch of the cheese made this soup my best friend. I wasn't terribly hungry, especially after the soup, so I enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese. Like the soup, great flavor and texture, and lots of lobster (but no matter how much lobster, it's never enough ). Not too anything, just a great balance of flavors, textures, and... lobster. I want to call out the wonderful popovers served at every table, and mention the steak as well. While my dining companions enjoyed the steak and side dishes of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes, the reviews were stellar. Cooked to perfection, the steak had a great char on the outside and tender, buttery texture inside. Even I was impressed! With multiple drinks, the bill was about $100/head including tip. Well worth it. Enjoy! read more

95 percent of the experience is the food but often the remaining 5% is service; and it's the 5% you remember. This was 120%... food and service. Thanks Mr Wolf for making this a 1st visit, the 1st of many. Beef Wellington. Filet and "Cowboy," all good. read more

Roots Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Visited on a weekend for date night and we were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. We had reservations and were seated upon arrival. We were seated directly across from the bar. The server was attentive but not overbearing. They brought out bread and butter for the table which was warm and flaky. It was almost like a croissant- light and perfect as a pre-meal treat. I ordered a Jack & coke and it was well balanced- not too much soda nor too much alcohol. We then ordered the bacon and a Ceasar salad to share as appetizers. Both were good. For my entree I ordered the petite filete and we shared truffle fries and Mac n Cheese. The filete was cooked exactly as ordered (medium). Food was very good. We are very particular about our steak and this was a good steak (not the best we have had, but good). My only critique of the restaurant is the lack of music. They should have low music playing so that we don't over hear everyone's conversations. This stood out to us. Nonetheless, we liked our experience and we plan to try the Morristown location next. read more

Came here again for dinner with a large group and was once again very happy with the dinner I had. The dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was the best martini I've ever had. The raw bar is always delicious and has tons of selections. I loved the Maine lobster bites. I was shocked by how delicious they were. I got the tailors plate for dinner and my steak was cooked perfectly. The shrimp scampi on top of my steak was great too! You get amazing quality food here and that is why I will continue to come back for special occasions read more

Roots in Ridgewood is on par with any of the great steakhouses in NYC. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is both elegant and inviting, creating a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The vibe is upscale but comfortable, making it perfect for both special occasions and casual dining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff truly sets Roots apart. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The hostesses greeted us with warmth, and our server, Sara, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Manager Kyle made the rounds, ensuring everything was perfect, and his touch added a personal, welcoming feel. This level of service is something other restaurants should aspire to achieve. Now, let's talk about the food - an absolute highlight. We kicked things off with the Slab Bacon appetizer, which was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. It was the perfect start to the meal. Next, we had the creamy burrata, served with fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, and a drizzle of balsamic. The combination was just perfect, and the crostini added a delightful crunch. But the real standout appetizer was the Lobster Bites - a must-try. These little bites of lobster were creamy, cheesy, and so decadent. Honestly, they were better than most lobster dishes we had during a recent trip to Maine! If you're a lobster fan, you can't miss these. For the main event, we ordered the Porterhouse for Two, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The steak was perfectly seasoned and truly melt-in-your-mouth tender. It didn't need any sauce, but Roots offers several, and we couldn't resist trying a few. The horseradish sauce was a true standout: balanced, creamy, and not overly sharp, it complemented the steak beautifully. We also enjoyed the au Poivre and Béarnaise sauces, which were both rich and flavorful. There's also a house-made steak sauce that reminded us of the famous Peter Luger's - a great option for those who like a bit of extra flavor. For sides, we went with the classic Mac and Cheese and Brussels sprouts. Both were delicious - the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, while the Brussels sprouts had the perfect char and were seasoned just right. Roots also offers a refreshing alternative to alcohol with their selection of iced teas. We tried the raspberry and green tea mango varieties, both of which were wonderfully refreshing and a great non-alcoholic option. We couldn't leave without trying the Roots Signature Butter Cake, and we're so glad we saved room for it. This warm, buttery dessert is a dream - rich, indulgent, and utterly delicious. It's worth the trip on its own! And yes, we definitely had plenty of leftovers to take home - the portions are generous, but the quality is worth every bite. We absolutely loved our experience at Roots, and we're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Another flawless experience at this beautiful restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything was 10/10 and I believe it was because of our server, Michael. He was so professional, knowledgeable, and warm. We came here for my Dads bday which was extra special this year as he had a medical emergency just 6 months ago - so celebrating him meant so much. Michael provided top notch service and made sure the evening was perfect. Food was delicious as always, porterhouse, wedge salad, beef Wellington - all excellent. Roots is a great spot and we will continue to enjoy their wonderful restaurant and service. read more

Amazing food and drinks! Our server Jim was so friendly, professional, and helpful! We had a great experience.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was absolutely beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not someone who's used to going to a really nice restaurant but came here for a really nice dinner that I was treated to. I got the 8 ounce filet mignon and it was absolutely delicious. I also got a side of brussels sprouts that were mixed with a whole bunch of other things but can't remember lol but again very delicious. It's definitely very pricey! If you're a wine drinker, prepare to spend some money too because one glass was $30 and they actually had one that's $55 a glass. believe that! lol. The service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was really nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very nice setting however, trying to find parking was a nightmare so definitely get there earlier before your reservation to find parking. This was definitely a nice treat for me. So, if you're looking for a really nice evening, this is definitely the place to be. read more

I've eaten here twice and both times have been great! The steak, service, desserts, everything! On my last visit I had the prime cowboy steak which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was seasoned perfectly. The shrimp cocktail was great too! The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. I also liked the butter cake. It was really good! I'd order everything again. The service was also phenomenal. The food came out in great time and our waiter was so kind, attentive and a good listener. All-in-all, yes, come here. For sure. Especially if you love steak. read more

Roots steakhouse is a pretty solid restaurant. Famous for their Beef Wellington and their outstanding service, this place doesn't disappoint in terms of those two things. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is that of a Pub/High-end eatery and is always bustling with people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So much so that sometimes it can be a little difficult to dine here. It's always extremely loud and even if you have a reservation for 7 PM you typically are going to wait 20 to 40 minutes for your table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And in my opinion, that truly disappoints that discerning diner. Anyway, let's talk about the food. The shrimp cocktail is phenomenal and any of their choice salads aren't going to disappoint. The steak options are always premium choice and cooked to perfection. But for me, my go to choice at this establishment is always going to be the Beef Wellington. I admire this dish for its simplicity, creativity, and its presentation. Oh yeah and also its flavor. The outer pastry is very light and buttery and the beef is always tender and cooked to perfection. What can I say, I just love this dish. So in summary, if I were you, I would definitely visit this establishing during it off peak hours, and I would definitely order any one of their delectable appetizers. And I will also recommend having one of their choice cuts of steak. I hope you enjoy this restaurant and happy yelping! read more

Roots Steakhouse - Butter cake. 10/10. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

It's first off a n jelly appointed restaurant and bar, with rich wood and tiles ceilings and ambient lighting. The staff from Waiters, servers and bus persons are impeccably dressed in high end attire. The Wait staff in white and servers and bussers in gray. Our waitress was top notch, knowledgeable, friendly and really stayed on top of the table. Drinks refilled as soon as she spotted them near empty. The menu selection is chocked full of choices from meats to seafood and numerous sides and appetizers. You start off with fresh popovers which were not the highlight of the evening. While good they were a tad overcooked and slightly burnt. The bacon appetizer was nice thick cut with a sugary coating. The lobster bisque and French onion soup also done very well as was the wedge salad. Main course of steaks and scallops and shrimp no one went hungry and some left over. Sides of mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were also well done. For a dessert treat a birthday ice cream sundae which was huge with dark chocolate formed cups holing various toppings and compliments of the house for our celebration. read more

Went to Roots for a birthday dinner on 12/20, had never been before, and they exceeded our expectations tenfold. We had an 8PM reservation and they were a little delayed, which was well understood as the place was packed for a Friday night. We grabbed a drink from the bar and stood to wait. They came to find us from the bar area and walked us to the back seating area. Once we were seated, we had a delightful server and were treated very well. We ordered the Lobster Bites and Calamari for appetizers, Petit Filet Mignon and Beef Wellington as main dishes, and Truffle Mac and Cheese and Bacon Brussels Sprouts for sides with a few cocktails, including an amazing Gingerbread Espresso Martini. Everything was delicious and superb! The icing on the cake was how they never once questioned that our reservation was to celebrate a birthday and graciously delivered a Roots Sundae for the table for us to share. We are not the type to want lots of happy birthday attention, so that was perfect and greatly appreciated. The bill was reasonable for all of the food and service, and we will definitely be back for another special occasion soon. read more

What a great porterhouse steak we had on a Monday night. So delicious! We ordered some oysters to start and we were disappointed they weren't meaty enough for the price. I liked the taste more than my husband but they weren't the best I had. We also weren't impressed with the popovers. They were reheated. That's their table bread version. When we pointed that out, they replaced them with fresher ones. Still tasted too eggy for us. We loved the sides. The corn brûlée was fantastic and definitely felt like dessert and we also had the Brussel sprout bacon side and it was really sweet and addictive. Overall, great dinner. Vibe was NYC fancy minus the noise, traffic and wait. read more

Always nice to visit a franchise that has superior service, food and ambiance. Visited Ridgewood location last night for our wedding anniversary and they made us feel so welcomed and really paid attention to details like sitting us in a booth and bringing out an amazing desert to share, with candles.

So I'm back after a 1+ year hiatus. The service and staff are really great. Friendly, enthusiastic and fast. Food and drink are delicious. The only con - and I hate to bring it up - is they can never get my steak correct. For some reason it's always more well done. Not sure if their definition of medium rare is medium? My definition is cool red center and pink all around. But my steak was light pink in center and gray all around. And if you send a steak back by the time it comes out, you're the schmuck watching everyone eat and then later them watching you eat. So I smile and nod, and don't send back. But for a $50-60 steak - and considering I can get it perfect at home every time - I would expect a steak place to do the same. Or at least err on the less well done side. Anyhow, I'll be back. read more

Food we very tasty nicely seasoned love the crispy shrimp scampi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance spacious but poor acoustics.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Server was not engaged not very attentive to detail. At the end of the meal we gave clear instructions to place 100 dollars on the credit card and take the 40 dollars cash tip. As he walked away stated just 100 on the card. We acknowledged yes he then proceeded to a bill the entire amount 160 on the card instead of using the additional 60 to pay the bill. So Nick walked away with a 100 had we not noticed. I would suggest some remediation in his costumer skills and basic math. Or was this purposely orchestrated? So if you go here be weary of Nick and count your cash. read more

The service was great and the food was amazing. We met here 25 years ago. Love coming back. The place changed owners multiple times throughout the years. We enjoy the food. We will come back.

I paid 40 dollars for a piece of halibut that was over cooked. I could not eat it because it was so dry and tough. The best part of the meal was the pumpkin cheese cake dessert. Maybe they had an off night, but at the prices they charge and the fact that everything is a la carte, the food should be cooked perfectly. Very disappointed. read more

I go to roots regularly and have done so for a number of years. Was there tonight and my steak came out way undercooked (I ordered medium and it was cold and rare at best inside). Though that wouldn't be surprising in certain restaurants, it is surprising in a steakhouse. Mistakes happen though and I'm not that customer that loses my mind when a mistake is made, we merely let the waitress know and they took it and said they'd take care of it. Before sending it back we had cut the strip steak into three pieces to see if the entire steak was undercooked. We were very surprised and frankly disappointed to see when they came back, it was a plate with the same steak cut into three pieces on our plate that had been heated up. This is such an underwhelming way to address things especially when people come and spend good money to enjoy a nice steak. Most steakhouses would have just made a new steak and cooked it as ordered the second time. We weren't looking for anything more than that but unfortunately were left disappointed and more so especially since we a frequent customers. read more
