Been waiting for a online order for over 15 minutes, seems like no one working on these orders and there’s no one to ask anything and front staff just ignores you. Terrible service, very poor management!

For months I walked by Roots after they opened thinking it was probably just some millennial overrated type of salad place, but was then lured in by all my friends raving reviews. I am a die hard Chipotle fan but the flavors and ingredients Roots offers knocks Chipotle right off its pedestal for me.They have signature bowls but as a picky eater, I’m not a fan of the hassle that is substituting certain items so I choose to build my own. You choose your base of greens/rice/mix of both, add up to five toppings (my go-to’s are the roasted broccoli, pickled onions, roasted corn, cucumber, and roasted sweet potatoes), choose any amount of whichever sauces you want (my personal favorites are light caesar and light lemon tahini), and your protein. I am not an adventurous menu taster and normally stick with one or two items, but at Roots I feel compelled to try everything.Besides the food, the staff is also so incredibly sweet and generous. Maya and Tyler always give spectacular service and it makes me smile to see them when I walk in because I know I’ll get treated well! The music is also so good, which is kind of a strange thing to comment on but my friends and I always bring up the excellent music taste of whoever’s in charge of aux. Lastly, the interior is just so cool. Complementary colors of blue and orange greet you as you walk in, with contemporary light fixtures hanging over the seats. It’s all around my new favorite place to go and I couldn’t recommend more!

After receiving a coupon I decided to check out Roots Kitchen and omg!! Once you go here you will never and I mean NEVER go back to other bowl building spots again!! Everything is super fresh, filling, and so good! I got a mix of the El jefe and El Apollo, so tons of spinach, kale, chickpeas, Chicken, feta, cucumbers, avocado, black beans, corn, feta, and red onions! Wow! Every bite was sooo good and again so fresh! I would recommend checking out the sauces by the drinks as the bowls, well at least mine, was a little dry. The sauces helped bring out the flavors.They give you a lot of food, so be ready for two or three meals. I would come here every day if I could as the food was just that good! Please open up one in Raleigh so I can do that..lol.A must go to for fresh and healthy food!

Roots is amazing!! I am so happy to see them finally open a location in Chapel Hill. Everything on the menu is fresh, nutritious, and packed with flavor. As someone who loves to eat clean and healthy food, Roots is the perfect on-the-go option! 10/10, I highly recommend you check them out!

I love this place. The bowls are always fresh and delicious. They’re also quite large portions which I was so happy with. Perfect spot for a healthy vegan bowl. Thanks!

I’ve been to Roots NK in Charlottesville and Richmond and both locations have always been flawless! Roots NK Chapel Hill is no exception. The staff is so friendly, and the food is the best. Highly recommend the Southern Bowl?

Delicious food - Large portions, lots of options, and super friendly staff! Would recommend!

This restaurant is a public nuisance on Franklin street. They routinely receive shipments with loud unloading activities with a first delivery truck between 3am-5am and a second delivery truck at 6am, which is unlawful until after 7am per city ordinance Sec. 11-39.1 No other business adjacent to housing on Franklin street is receiving shipments at these hours. I encourage everyone to boycott this business for being so disrespectful of its neighbors.

Was extremely excited to hear that Roots was coming to Chapel Hill. It didn’t disappoint. I ordered the El Jefe with chicken and my girlfriend ordered the El Jefe with tofu - both delicious!
