A little understaffed but a great restaurant and good location if you want an alternative to downtown Tyson's.
A local neighborhood deli and bar with the friendliest staff with fresh, delicious food, a great wine and beer selection, and craft cocktails
Amazing food and friendly staff! Would highly recommend this location!

Roots Cafe is a charming and casual spot located in a hidden strip mall in McLean. It offers a small but delightful menu that includes sandwiches, salads, snacks, coffee, and teas. The cafe is known for its friendly and helpful staff, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Customers often enjoy their meals on cozy seating, such as a leather couch, making the experience comfortable and relaxed. The food receives high praise for its freshness, great portions, and tasty flavors. Popular dishes include the steak and cheese sub, fried chicken sandwich, Buffalo chicken wrap, and the egg sandwich on a brioche roll. The restaurant also features a gluten-free bread option for the Reuben Sandwich, which many find exceptional enough to return for multiple times in one day. Prices are reasonable, and the quality of the food consistently impresses guests. Although the atmosphere can be stark and the temperature cold on some days, the overall experience is positive, making Roots Cafe a good place for casual dining, meeting friends, or grabbing a quick, satisfying meal after outdoor activities.
