I LOVE ROOTS. As a vegan there are little to no other options on campus in terms of food. So appreciative of the designated plant based dining hall. I eat there basically everyday and I’m so hyped that they change the menu every academic year.

Roots is a standout dining option on campus, offering a variety of plant-based dishes that have reviewers raving. The burrito is a particular favorite, with one reviewer noting that it's a welcome change from the often-empty fillings found at other campus restaurants. Another reviewer appreciates the changing menu, which keeps things fresh and exciting.
However, diners should be aware of some quirks when planning a visit to Roots. Parking can be a challenge, especially for non-students, and the menu is only available via QR code, which may not be updated regularly. Additionally, be prepared for a potentially steep price for take-out containers, and don't expect a wide range of sauces to accompany your meal.

What the? This is basically the best restaurant on campus? All the other restaurant food are kind of... meh? Like they put slightly too much filler into their food. However, the food here actually made me feel something. I ABSOLUETLY LOVE THEIR BURRITO!!! THERE IS ACTUALLY CONTENTS INSIDE!!!!!!! Just, maybe don't get the pasta if you aren't a died-hard vegan, but a lot of stuff on here is REALLY good.

This is not a restaurant that is easy to get to for non students. Parking is a nightmare. The menu is QR code only, and it's not updated at all. They did not ask if I wanted it for dine in or take out. When my food was ready, I asked if I could get to go boxes, they charged me $5 PER BOX. They don't have any other sauces other than a chipotle sauce and ketchup. They don't have regular fries, only sweet potato fries. The "Chicken tender basket" had 3 small tenders and the rest was all sweet potato fries. Top it off, the food was mediocre at best. The Chicken sandwich was 2 small chicken tenders, and barely any mayo. Workers were not friendly. Terrible experience, will not be going back. There are so many other amazing vegan restaurants out there, I don not recommend this place.
