Roots Cafe Reviews
A little understaffed but a great restaurant and good location if you want an alternative to downtown Tyson's.
Will. Not. Be. Back. What’s this place got to offer? $11 beers. Undercooked, overpriced food. Incompetent owners. Rude employees. AC still isn’t working after over a year of being open. Bathroom is always either out of TP or paper towels. You have to walk to the bar to order when you’re literally the only customer in the entire place. No thanks. There’s way too much competition right down the road in Tysons—better prices, better service, better environment. Nice try...read full review

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.
