The food is good, there are plenty of ingredients to put in your salad, and they give a lot, it’s just a little pricey.
The place is nice and good for what it is. There are some things I wish were different about it but they’re personal preferences and are just very different from what the store is geared towards. For what it is roots is great.

Highly suggest roots for getting healthy bowls with quality ingredients. They have a customizable bowls where we can select, salad, veggies, protien and sauce.
A specifical shout out to their tofu!

They super downsides the size of bowls (or messed up) the corner Cobb used to be in a larger bowl since it has lettuce as the base but now it is the same size as the rice bowls. I’m disappointed and feel scammed

Wow! words can not express how satisfied I was a year ago when I ate at this restaurant. I was so impressed with the service, quality, and quantity of the food I recieved. I could not stop talking about the taste and explosions that was going off in my mouth . I ordered the May Weather bowl with a kick! I am back in Charlottesville VA today. I drove 3 1/2 hours to dine in again! I’m like a kid in the candy store, literally drooling with excitement ready for my next adventure!

Wow, the food was absolutely amazing. Great option for vegetarians! The barbeque tofu has so much flavor and the roots rice was amazing. This is a very healthy food option and the portion was really big. I got the southern and I would highly recommend. The sauce was also a nice touch, not too strong like some dressings, but a perfect light flavor addition to the bowl. 10/10

I’m in Charlottesville for a wedding and a group of us stopped at Roots for salads for lunch. We walked to our hotel and began eating when, not 15 minutes in, I bite down on something hard. It was a broken piece of metal. I then sifted through the salad and found a SECOND identical piece of metal. I walked back to the restaurant and alerted the manager and staff. They looked at me puzzled but were not in any way apologetic. I said I don’t want to make a scene but this just happened. They said “we don’t even have utensils like that.” Well news flash, you do and one is broken because the pieces were in my salad. I’m not a litigious person but I went to law school, therefore I am very familiar with lawsuits of this nature. The manager gave me a refund for mine and my Aunt’s salads, but the lack of care is what bothered me the most especially since the staff began making the next meal for the next customer without doing a thorough inspection of their utensils or ingredients. Accidents happen but they can also result in severe injury. I’m lucky I was not severely harmed by this incident but this restaurant must do better.
