I mean, if you’re into an almost healthy, almost warm salad/bowl option, it’s good in a pinch. It was quick and easy, but everything was covered in oil and not as fresh tasting as we’d hoped. It was just eh. It has vegan options (win) but the amount of oil on everything makes my stomach regret the choice (not so much win). Ohh and it was expensive.
Delicious ? Healthy ? Affordable ?
Used to be a place where you could get a healthy meal for $9-10, but prices have gone up ~25% since they opened a couple years ago. The food is still tasty but unfortunately no longer really worth it for how expensive it's become.
Great place! Delicious food, nice staff, good portions. To the staff: Thank you for how great you keep this place as this is what keeps people coming back. Roots is a staple of state college and I have loved my food every time. Thank you! ?
I will say the lines can be pretty long considering each bowl or salad is made by the order, but it’s totally worth it. It’s a great healthy option and all of the ingredients are super fresh and taste great. The dressings are pretty unique.
Amazing portions for the price, dont buy drinks from the fountain though it's not worth it.
My first experience was derived from a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed! There was a line upon entering but it went by rather quickly. It was also generous of them to have provided masks for those coming in without one. I have come back several more times with others and only good things have been said.My order is an Apollo, sub the spinach for kale and the dressing for cilantro lime. The staff was kind when asking for substitutions as well as extra meat. I love the quality of their chicken as they make it freshly. It reminds me of chicken kabob and you won’t be disappointed! I recommend this place over chipotle any day!
Delicious food, better than expected and huge portions.Who ever has control of the music, please send me your station, it's excellent too.
My son and his girlfriend went here for dinner and brought me home a Balboa bowl to try.... I brought to work today for lunch. Even reheated this bowl is absolutely scrumptious. I freaking love it. I cannot wait to go to the restaurant and have a fresh one, I bet it will be out of this world. Goodbye Panara, it's been fun, HELLO ROOTS!! ??
A coworker recommended this place to me, I looked at the menu and dismissed it as I thought it looked too healthy and falsely assumed it would be kind of gross. Wrong!!!!! IT IS DELICIOUS and I even liked it so much I got it for my birthday lunch. Delicious, reasonably priced, and healthy. Definitely give it a try even if you’re skeptical like I first was. The ratings don’t lie.
