Beautiful location, food is amazing the breakfast was so delicious we had to show up Monday night for the dinner. Hands down one of the best places. Can't wait for our next trip back to Roots.
Came in with my family for the Lola’s Kitchen pop-up this week. Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. We loved sitting at the bar and chatting with the other patrons, waitstaff, and owner Colin. Owen the chef has really put a lot of thought and love into the menu and we loved everything we tried.
Our week at Roots was absolutely wonderful! We stayed in the 2-Twin room and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. It was fantastic to have breakfast taken care of each morning, with Collin preparing everything perfectly to our dietary needs. Randy's coffee from Ephirum Coffee Lab was a daily highlight we'll truly miss until next time.
Beyond the delicious food and coffee, Roots offers onsite parking, classic Sister Bay charm, and an unbeatable location just one block from the beach. If you're a foodie with any dietary needs, rest assured, Roots will accommodate! A big thank you to Owen, Frank, and Collin for making our trip so special.
Lola's Kitchen is a pop up restaurant inside of Roots Kitchen on Monday's and Tuesday's this season. If you want delicious food, in a treehouse setting, with wonderful service - go here. The menu is small and interesting. Last night, our table of 5 ordered one of everything and went home with lunch for today. Apps: the Pork Lumpia was a table favorite, but I especially enjoyed the special veggie lumpia with beets - full flavor! For the entrees, the Chicken Adobo melted off the bones. The broth was so flavorful we were getting every drop from the bowl. The Ginataang Kalabasa was a coconut milk, squash with other veggies soup that was out of this world. This was not something I would normally order, but was a favorite at our table. The other entrees: Noodles and Beef dishes also packed down home comfort food flavors. Of course we had to also try dessert. Both were colorful and tasty with the Chocolate Hills cookie dough balls our top pick.
Service by Frank and Collin was exceptional, friendly, and professional. They greeted many locals by name. Food whisked out of the kitchen to our table piping hot! Chef Owen was amazing in this small space and ran several dishes out from the kitchen himself. He took the time to say hello at the end of the busy night.
I highly recommend Lolas kitchen for top notch food and friendly night out. It's worth a drive north!
Review for Lola's Kitchen Pop-Up on Mondays & Tuesdays: Damn, that's great Filipino food! My husband, my Filipina mom, and I all delighted in the Bistek Tagalog, Chicken Adobo, Pancit, and Pork Lumpia -- tasty, good portion sizes, prepared without heavy oils. My mom is really picky and she said some of the dishes tasted just like HER lola used to make, the highest compliment. SO nice to have good Filipino food in Door County. Please keep going!
Roots is such an awesome spot to stay! We enjoyed the coziness of our room and the close proximity to all of Sister Bay’s downtown. Can’t say enough about Collin and his team. The comfort they provide from check in to check out is incredible. And the breakfasts from the Kitchen each morning were all so unique and delicious. It was really fun to walk in there with no idea of what the breakfast was and to let Collin show off! We will definitely be back.
Restaurant review. Run don't walk to the monthly Filipino popup. The two appetizers pork lumpia and meatballs with banana ketchup really tasty. The adobo chicken fall off the bone tender and juicy with savory broth. The beef tagalog also tender but my companion gobbled it up so fast I almost missed my bites! Service good and friendly.
I can’t say enough good things about this place! Cozy and sooo yummy! They hit each item out of the park!
Thank you for the warm hospitality, relaxed atmosphere and EXCEPTIONAL brunch on a windy November morning. Our new favorite restaurant in Door County!
We just went here for lunch, they had nice vegetarian options. Owner was very friendly. Good overall experience. View was nice too.

Stayed here for a weekend wedding celebration. Lovely little place. Old and quaint. Excellent breakfast and a free beer fridge for guests. Collin the owner was very hospitable and helpful. Perfect location a block off the main drag in Sister Bay so easy walks to all the shopping and eating and beach!

And the award for hottest inn, inn food, and innkeeper and crew goes to Roots Inn & Kitchen. Seriously, my first thought and comment after having my first bites of the breakfast bibimbap was, "this chef DGAF" about toning it down for the midwest palate; talk about a flavor bomb! Kimchee for breakfast in Wisconsin: cheeky, and I'm here for it. Oh, and the Inn is so cozy and intimate, and, yet, at the same time, quiet. You've redefined bed and breakfasts, Mr. Collin and team, a tip of the hat. Kindly, Jessica and Kyle

My new favorite restaurant in Door County! Most of the menu is vegan, and the unique flavors are amazing. Omnivores are very happy here as well - they can add protein to dishes or have a brat. Fantastic selection of local beers, fast service and a gorgeous dog-friendly patio make this a must visit in Sister Bay. I'll be back!
Roots is an amazing bed and breakfast! Can’t rave enough about our stay! Collin is an absolutely amazing host. He is a wizard in the kitchen - breakfast here was some of the best food on our trip to Door County. Literally cannot speak higher of the food. The service is so warm and friendly. Collin takes time to chat to his guests, and remembers everyone’s names - very personable. The location of the inn is perfect - walking distance to all of Sister Bay. Parking was never a problem. The room was so cute and quaint. The house itself is decorated in a detailed way where you can find little unique aspects of every nook and cranny of the historic building. 10/10 stay, highly recommend.

This is a review of the restaurant and not the bed-and-breakfast. Probably the best priced and incredibly delicious healthy/comfort food. The best bratwurst I’ve ever had in my life. Incredible salad. There’s a dish for everybody. But you gotta come for the brat sandwich!!! Decent atmosphere and incredible service.
Food & drinks: Perfectly cooked and prepared.
