Roots is an excellent place for any meal of the day. Delicious food, great variety in menu and convenient daily specials. The ONLY downside is parking. As far as I can see there is no designated area for the restaurant, certainly nothing near the entrance.

We booked a supper at Roots restaurant with our families during the Christmas break. Chef Chris Miller did a wonderful job preparing fresh culinary plates. The menu had something for everyone. I chose the Dill pickle burger and it was delicious. Someone else tried the Reuben and it was described as very well appointed. Dwip was a wonderful server. We have recommend the restaurant to friends & family!

Dec 2025:

This past weekend we went to Roots for brunch! My brother got the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict ($20.99) with a coffee ($2.99?) and I got the Chicken & Waffle Sandwich ($19.99).

Service was really good, they made sure we were happy and comfortable. We were only here for about an hour so fast service too.

My brother really enjoyed his Eggs Benedict. Portion size was great, especially for how much you pay. I had a bite as well, thought it was good. I’m honestly not a fan of salmon and eggs together, but I appreciate the flavours.

The hashbrowns were amazing, house made and herbed just right. The bar is in Hell for hashbrowns in this city. Our side salads were also good, really enjoyed the dressing though I wish there was more than a teaspoon.

While most things were good, I wouldn’t order the chicken & waffle sandwich again. The waffles were very dense, it felt and tasted like I was eating cake. It was not the crispy, fluffy Belgian waffle I expected. I also got the feel the chicken was store bought and frozen.

Last time I was here, I made a comment that I believe the menu is too big. I still stand by my statement. While some things are good, they could be fantastic if they shortened the menu to focus more time, money and energy on making things higher quality.

But if there’s one thing for certain, you won’t leave this restaurant hungry.

Jan 2025: It was a cold day, but I really wanted to go out for dinner. I’m glad we did! My boyfriend and I both ordered the Dill Pickle Burger ($23.99). But I specifically got chippers with garlic aoli and he got coleslaw. I also got the chocolate almond torte ($12) to go. We had a fun time guessing the decor theme. Spoiler: It’s Vintage Industrial.

I’ll start off with the negatives. My truffle aoli was warm, I would have preferred it cold. My guess is that it was freshly made, but the mayo was opened as brand new. I only tasted mayo. The plates are nice, but because the burger patties are specially smash patties, they a lot of grease which unfortunately pools and leaks off the plate. Without a rim to stop the grease, I had to put my napkin down to stop it from leaking off the plate. The Gravelbourg Dill Pickle Mustard only really tasted like mustard. I would have preferred fresh dill sauce, heavy on the fresh dill. I didn’t taste any dill as the mustard overshadowed it on top of all the other flavours. As for the coleslaw, my boyfriend is a big fan of coleslaw but found that it tasted like yogurt.

Now as for the torte… I felt it was very over priced, the almond extract flavour was too strong and the layers weren’t even.

But there are a lot of positives ! Our server was extremely friendly, everything is 15% off regular priced items in January and the food was good! The chippers were phenomenal. Seriously, perfect seasoning with the thickness. I wanted more. The burgers were massive, neither of us finished them. The patties themselves tasted better than more than half the patties in this city. Good quality. There was a generous amount of pickles on this burger, which was exactly what I was looking for. And the fresh pretzel buns are unique and delicious. I loved these buns as they brought more depth to the flavours and they were great quality.

I would recommend this restaurant. However I am concerned that their menu is too vast… But if they made it smaller and narrowed their focus, they have the potential of being extraordinary.

Here’s my honest review
I’m giving it a 3 because the chef was nice and fixed the food.
Service 1/5 : I don’t think I have seen anything worse, no one with that attitude should be allowed to serve people. She was the absolute worst

Was very busy when we were there. Barely a table. But the food came out slow (lije 40 minutrs), and fairly cold. Flavour was good. Not sure why the fries and chicken were cold.

Was yummy. They did mess up the order a bit, but still very tasty.

We went for the turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, it was ok, nothing spectacular, the dark meat that was hiding under the white meat was not good, the cabbage roll wasn't necessary. For a busy weekend they were not stocked on any of their glass wines
