I stopped here twice on my visit to the area. I was blown away by the flavors. I had the Chik’n Bacon Ranch sandwich on my first visit and the vegan Chopped Cheese on the second. Both were delicious! The fries are great. Staff were very friendly. Great place.

Very rude lady at the front. Asked simple questions that concern my health and allergies and was answered in a very nasty, rude tone. Tried correcting me as well and had been very impolite. The food was okay but I won’t be order here again due to the horrible attitude from the hostess/person who accepts calls.

The food is amazing. customer service not so great, there is a lady there that is super rude. Likes to talk over a customer I couldn't even necessarily express my experience, and I just started going there multiple times that's i was referred by . I'm limited on time work on my break not being able to buy the food because they were not actively listening when I called to place my order because of all the noise in the background and the nonchalant tonery.

This cafe is quaint only has a few tables for eating in. I was more than happy to wait 30 minutes to place my order because the frying oil was being changed (A plus in my book - knowing the oil was fresh).
I ordered the BBQ fried Oyster Mushrooms meal & it did not disappoint. I will definitely be visiting this Cafe again.

tbh i don’t usually write reviews, but i’m here to say something positive because i don’t think this restaurant deserves the amount of negative reviews it has online. i’ve been quite a few times over the past year or two and there was only one time i was disappointed, and it was because i decided to switch up my usual order and try something i never had before. to which the staff kindly accommodated me and gave me a different meal, which they didn’t have to do. the girl who is usually at the front is nice, and obviously young. i’ve seen her there in her school uniform before, so shout out to her for working after a full day of school (which is work in itself). people seem to complain about the staff not being nice but dude, be realistic. yeah its not chic fil a service but this is a small (family owned?) business. cut them some slack, they don’t have to jump for joy when you walk in or kiss the ground you walk on. just get your food and move along. in my experience none of them have been outright mean.

i don’t understand the complaints about the prices either, i think everything is fairly priced especially considering its a vegan restaurant. i got beyond tacos for $12.. how is that overpriced? if i go to a place like tacocraft i’ll be paying $20+. go anywhere and get an impossible or beyond burger and you’re definitely spending $20 at the LEAST and it wont be as good as it is here. how cheap are you guys expecting a menu to be???

lots of complaints about veggies not being fresh/oil old which is strange to me, never experienced that myself. chicken, burgers, and fries have all been amazing to me. but honestly as a person who has worked in the food service industry for years, its understandable and not always the restaurant’s fault when the produce IS a little off. people fault and blame small businesses for EVERY TINY THING and then get upset when they all shut down and there’s nothing to eat but mcdonalds. like jeez do you guys bash the mainstream restaurants this way too? these are people not robots, even the food you make yourself at home is hit or miss sometimes. do YOU deserve 1 star too?

lastly, all the complaints about seating is ridiculous too. its a small take out restaurant. its not meant for dine in and they don’t need more seating. its clean, good music, and a chill area to wait for your order. take your food and go home or go to a park or something and eat lol its not that serious. i have never been inside this place and seen both tables occupied so clearly there is no need for more. thats like complaining that the chinese take out restaurant doesn’t have more tables or servers… like clearly it is not meant for that and thats perfectly fine.

anyways the beyond tacos are to die for, i thought the toppings sounded weird at first and i usually hate cucumber but there’s something about this combo that makes my mouth water. the fries are soooo good too. this has been my favorite local vegan spot since i moved to this area a few years back. keep up the good work! if you’ve never been to Rootz you NEED to try it. so so good. i’ve put a friend onto this place and she was obsessed as well. YALL ARE AMAZING! wish i had better pics lol

Fresh and flavorful food! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for vegan options.

So im vegetarian and i tried this place for the first time i had a teriyaki tofu salad when i opened it i was alittle confused because it had pickles but when i tried it im not gonna lie that salad was amazing so delicious and full of flavor. I also had a mac and cheese to try but i did not like that at all 2 many seasonings on it. The service was not the best the young lady in the front was not friendly at all the presentation of the restaurant should b alittle better it just looks like they dont take pride in the restaurant when it does have potential

I’ve been here a few times and the food is normally decent. But this time I was greatly disappointed. Aside from the fact that their prices have gotten ridiculously expensive, the food was terrible. The food made my stomach hurt as if old oil had been used to fry the oyster mushroom and it lacked flavor. And the staff isn’t the most pleasant. Usually I bypass the fact that they have an attitude and are not friendly (never seen the person at the front crack a smile or smirk) but I do not think I will come anymore.

We was at Rootz in July 16th. The food is AMAZING we ordered a lot of different dishes, they were all tasty. I’m a vegan and it’s all about flavor and seasoning. I will definitely be eating at Rootz very soon.

The food look like and smell so good, but didn’t taste so good The macaroni is missing something make be some coconut milk is the secret it need. The barbecue ribs inner interior is disgusting. The baked beans taste like candy yams not for me. It shouldn’t be any taste of cinnamon. Collard greens all right!

I tried the vegan lasagna and the oyster mushroom burger, and both were fantastic. The crispiness of the mushroom burger was outstanding—definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and worth trying again. The customer service was also very friendly; they checked on me several times, leaving me completely satisfied.

I was so pleasantly surprised to find Rootz Soul Cafe in my Happycow app… now I can't live without them. I live 300 miles away and will have to make them my destination next time I'm anywhere near Ft Lauderdale. Their vegan mac n cheese is heavenly and the jerked burger well…what can I say but it was so hard to put down. The staff are friendly, happy, and attentive. Please don't hesitate to stop here I promise you will not regret it.
