Roots is an amazing restaurant! The atmosphere is inviting, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. We tried most of the menu since we live quite a distance, and the portions are a good size for the price.

My husband brought me here for a pre-Mother’s Day celebration. I didn’t know we even had a fine dining vegan restaurant in the Inland Empire! Everything was great! I loved the pasta. The DIY Temaki was wonderful. We had to ask for more seaweed since the portion was very giving.

The food was sensational and unique. I love that most everything is made in house- I don’t even eat ketchup with my fries usually but the house made ketchup here is delicious so I had to. Love the vibe here and attention to detail in everything.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this vegan restaurant!! They have the best vegan food and the best drinks in Riverside!! I just had their vegan burger and it was the best burger I have had in my lifetime, vegan or beef. The bun was crunchy good yet soft in the middle, the onion jam so flavorful and savory sweet, the vegan cheese melting with such creaminess and the fried kale, just spectacular!! My 30 year old daughter (who was my guest) felt the same way. The drinks are just as fabulous especially the Continental!! I have been here 3 times and each time is better than the time before!! I just wish they serve the vegan spam/rice on Saturday!!

Excellent food! They were very acomedating for my gluten sensitivity too! They have quite a bit of gluten free options which is great to see! I would love to see the gluten free options listed of the actual physical menu however. It would be so helpful. Regardless everything was simply delicious and it was not an inconvenience at all! I would highly recommend everyone to go try it!

I had not idea this place existed here in DTR! First time at an all vegan restaurant, and let me tell you the food was amazing. I ordered the poke bowl and then along with the monster burger, I came to eat haha, the flavors were on point it didn’t feel like I was eating vegan food at all. They also have a bar which I will definitely grab a drink on my next time here!

The food here is as amazing as it is unique! My husband and I tried this place for the first time and were very impressed. We were thinking of ordering the Green Monster burger and our server, Josseline, also recommended it to us since it was our first time and it did not disappoint! I could not even tell that it was vegan and it was so good!! Their spiral fries with “cheese” are also super yummy and the Nightcap is an excellent finish to a perfectly filling meal. We will definitely come back again and highly recommend to those looking for unique vegan food.

Do not come to this place if you have a tight schedule. Came for lunch as it is close to jury room. Took 40 mins for food to arrive after ordering. Which would have been ok if server would have attended to the table for drinks. Place was not crowded so not sure why service and food is so slow. Tacos were ok as the chicken is breaded? Menu didnt say crispy and I figured since this is a vegan place it would have been grilled. Even takes awhile to pay your bill. If you come plan on staying about an hour or more.
