    Steakhouse forky/jalapeno and tomatoes on the side. Peanut butter and jelly iced latte . The food is amazing and the staff is phenomenal.
    Shavon W.

    Thank you for the great food and service. Everything was delicious. Steakhouse forky and peanut butter latte

    Apple fritter pancakes, over easy eggs with bistec beef, potatoes and onions and green salsa, scrambled eggs, beef bistec and potatoes

    Food presentation and flavor was incredible. First time customer at this establishment. Pancakes were light and fluffy and extremely flavorful, potatoes were hot and crispy, bistec meat was flavorful and not over cooked. Customer service was fast and friendly. And the ambiance on the interior of the establishment was well lit, and lots of pretty decor. Highly recommended to family and friends.

    The food is amazing! Big portions that match the price point. Service is great, associates are very attentive and ready to help with anything you need. Place is pretty small but feels homey. We will be back!

    We visited this locals' favorite on a Sunday, early afternoon. Taking advantage of the brunch/lunch options, we ordered the Texas Cheesesteak and Texas Breakfast. Both were underwhelming, and failed to deliver on taste. The highlight of our visit was the Down the Hatch, an espresso based drink with vanilla and sweet cream. The dining room is small, and the team was struggling to keep it clean even though traffic was moderate. I was frustrated when I was unable to pour my tea ... the spout was at a trickle. There are better brunch/lunch options, and I can't recommend Rooted.

    [Update: 12/07/2025] Another fantastic brunch at Rooted Fork. I was greeted by the pleasant, diligent staff member Kaylee, who was both friendly and very accommodating. She knew the menu well and recommended great options based on what I like. After I ordered, she checked in to make sure everything was to my liking and, without me even asking, brought over boxes and a bag for leftovers. I laughed and told her, "You read my mind!" Food-wise, I highly recommend the Steak Hash (hold the salsa verde if you are spice-sensitive like me) and the white chocolate latte. Bravo to Kaylee for her hard work, professionalism, and bright smile. Keep up the amazing work, Kaylee and Rooted Fork!

    They brought back the shrimp cakes Beni which is one of my favorites and the only thing I order. The eggs were over cooked and not a lot of sauce on top of my eggs. I thought maybe it was just an error. But this happened two weekends in a row. The eggs were over cooked and boiled. Service is always great. We do enjoy the homey feeling when at rooted folk.

    Great food. Great prices. Friendly staff. You order at the counter. They give you a number. You find your seat. They bring out your food. They have inside and outside seating. There is a drink station. They give you your mug with coffee that the counter, but you can get refills at the drink station I ordered the sesame ginger salad. It came with shrimp and avocado. The salad was so good. It did get kind of spicy towards the end due to the ginger, but definitely a great choice. It was big and the salad had enough shrimp. The salad was not drowned in the dressing. It had just enough of the dressing. Parking is available on site.

    I normally enjoy a great meal at The Rooted Fork but not so much today. My GFs Cobb Salad had wilted Lettuce which was not chopped. My Turkey Bacon Ranch had tomato slices from the end of a tomato, Turkey was neither seasoned or roasted, the bacon was not crisp and the chips were stale. Better luck next time. NOTE : To Rooted Forks credit, they did offer to make a sandwich to go.

    The food was plentiful and served hot! The wait staff was out making sure service, once the food was served, was just as hardy and very reasonable priced. The resturant in in a converted house with inside and outside seating on the deck and in the front yard. Cibola TX historical presence is that it is the end of the traill for buffalo. The resturant is within walking distance of Old downtown!

    On this adventure, I find myself in Cibola at the "Rooted Fork". I try not to be overly critical about a place but this restaurant has nothing to worry about. Because the breakfast they served was by far one of the best, the flavor was delicious, the presentation was excellent. But let's start from the beginning, the restaurant is situated in an older home and that character gives this place an inviting warmth. As you walk in you see the menu above the counter and a good amount of seating. The person behind the counter was very helpful and answered all questions about the menu. The item I chose was the "Steakhouse Forky" and that was absolutely delicious. The steak was wonderfully prepared it was probably one of the best breakfast I've had in a while, the cheese and various vegetables mixed in were a delicious combination and it paired wonderfully with the tater tots. I accompanied my meal with a cup of coffee and it too was skillfully prepared, good aroma and taste. Overall this place is very good. The people that keep this place going were wonderful and cordial, bringing the right amount of coffee and all with a wonderful atmosphere.

    Trashy Forky Bowl

    Right out of the gate a turn off. Menu states upcharge on all non cash purchases. (.50). Entrees are basic breakfast fare: Eggs, "protiens", potatoes, etc. Anything you add is a $4.00 upcharge to the entree. Cup of coffee $3.64 Walk-up service, indoor and outdoor seating. No waitstaff, just kitchen and bussing staff. Food prep protocols and cleanliness are marginal. Sticky tables, dirty condiment bottles, empty salt and pepper shakers. Food: Arrived hot, good portions, about a 15 min return from order. Tasty, thank goodness. Patrons are mostly young and military families with kids when we were there. Music is lo-fi rap inside. Inside dining on a Sat is peppered with exuberant young children. So go early or later or opt for the front lawn dining tables. 2 people , coffee and entrees. No opt out on a demanded tip at the register that was EASILY visible. $53.09 FOR BREAKFAST. That's our one meal out for the weekend, within a budget. Stop in, judge for yourselves. Bring cash.

    Chicken, fried steak, fried okra, mashed potatoes, and loaded tots.

    One of the best things about Cibolo! The Rooted Fork is the city's favorite brunch spot. The pancakes are great and we love their breakfast nacho place. But have you heard? They are now open for dinner! I had their chicken fried steak, and it was fantastic! The restaurant is seat yourself. There's plenty of room inside and they have really nice patio and lawn seating as well.

    This is a great breakfast place in Cibolo. We come here once in a while to eat breakfast. I always have the eggs Beni.

When I arrived to purchase a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich, the employee at the counter was not polite or welcoming. After returning home and opening my sandwich, I was disappointed to find that it contained very little chicken and bacon. Instead, it was primarily filled with lettuce and an excessive amount of mayonnaise. Unfortunately, because I did not notice the issue until I got home, I had no choice but to discard the sandwich. Additionally, I was concerned about the atmosphere inside the restaurant. Music containing explicit profanity was playing loudly. While I was there, an elderly woman--who appeared to be in her eighties--entered the restaurant. The employee at the counter and another staff member began laughing in response to the profanity in the song that was playing. I found this behavior unprofessional and inappropriate. I would appreciate it if a member of management could contact me at your earliest convenience to address these concerns. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

About a week ago I had a poor experience at Cinnabon. For the record, I hadn't been to a Cinnabon in ages and we don't really even have a massive standalone presence here in SA. Nonetheless the quality was very low. I left honest feedback and in return they gave me a coupon code which was good for a free classic Cinnabon. Now I wasn't about to drive all the way across town again, so I went on the app and it showed there was a closer location at "Cinnabon at Schlotzsky's" as it shows in the app. What I found interesting is you can order ahead though the Cinnabon app and it clearly lists this as a location. So I figure I hadn't had lunch yet so I'll order some food items too from Schlotzsky's and there's an option within the Cinnabon app to scan to redeem. I get to the window and they tell me they don't accept Cinnabon there. I show them the app where they are listed as a location and there's literally nothing that says you can't redeem or earn rewards there. They say we'll try to scan your barcode but our system likely won't take it. Again, it's not even that you do or you don't take the rewards. It's how you COMMUNICATE that. Starbucks, for example, will tell you locations (e.g. hotels or airports) that don't honor their rewards program. You know before you commute that you can't earn or redeem at these locations. Communication. A simple yet powerful idea that so many companies miss. This is also an issue you create when you cross-brand like this. And to add more onto this train wreck of an experience, Schlotzsky's has it's own app and rewards program that's completely separate too.

The medium is the one I always buy because it's usually filling enough for a meal. After I ate the sandwich, I was still hungry and went to Chester's for a real sandwich Very disappointing!!!
