Roots Burger - Warren Park

Great burgers and atmosphere. Love the feel of being somewhere neighborhood-ISH. Staff have always been great.

First time here! I actually was riding down the street and searched burgers on Yelp and found this spot. First impressions are everything. I walked in the door and hostess just looked at me. I spoke and said hello and she looked up from her phone and asked if I was there for a pick up order. I was a party of one but I was dining in. She told me the wait was about 20mins. I asked if there was seating at the bar and she said she didn 't know. Ummm ok...based on her I would 've had turned around and walked out but I decided to stay. I 'd love to know how the popcorn works...do I just grab it?? I didn 't ask because she already was less than welcoming so I didn 't have any. I did find a seat at the bar. Granted it was a Friday night and they were busy. I overheard the bar tender say that they just lost some servers. I ordered a pineapple margarita. The menu stated it came with an infused pineapple..to my surprise it was not served that way. I asked and she stated they were out of pineapples...bummer.I ordered the jalepeno popper burger. There is more burger than bun here!! Woo hoo!! It was pretty good. The actual Patties don 't taste seasoned. But the burger it self is good! My fries weren 't cold but they weren 't hit either. I am done eating and out the door in 43mins...glad I didn 't wait for a table!

Parking is plentiful and handicap parking as well. This place has a nice Sports Bar vibe and is nicely decorated with plenty of big screen TV’s. Bar tables and regular seating and bar seating to choose from with outdoor seating weather permitting. I arrived around noon the place was somewhat busy. Everyone was enjoying themselves, this place has a good atmosphere. I chose mom’s tenderloin, always a favorite of mine. Their tenderloin wasn’t bad four out of five. It was very nicely breaded and crunchy. The steak fries were delicious. Overall great place. Definitely worth another try, next time I’ll try a burger and some onion rings. Nice place to hang out and watch a game or just stop by for a sandwich. I was told they’ve been open a year, I’m sure they’ll be open for a few more. It’s worth a stop give it a try I recommend it.

Get ready for some smash burgers! When you arrive and are seating you get a bucket of popcorn for the table. Staff was friendly and attentive so thumbs up for them. The menu has a variety of food but you really should be here for the burgers. Each burger option you can get with 1, 2 or 3 pattys. Each is a smashed 4oz. I opted for a single, my husband got a double. I got a PB burger which had peanut butter, jam and bacon and it was bangin. If you haven't tried the peanut butter on a burger craze yet I highly recommend you try! The bun has a nice roots stamp on top and was quite sweet maybe it's a potato bun? It worked. They skimped on the fries a bit or it looked like they did since the plate they served it on was far too large. We also ordered the salsa guac with chips and both felt like they were just dumped out of a jar from a grocery store. Pass on that.

It's average for a burger, fries, and beer. My wife got the jalapeño popper burger (she seemed disappointed in it as it did not taste like a jalapeño popper). I got a double Trippin Billies Burger (has mushrooms and horseradish sauce) which I liked. The pitcher of beer is discontinued on Friday's (only like 2 bucks off) but still a deal. We did not like how the bacon on the burgers is literally just fat as seen in the picture (we both expected some meat on the bacon). Not our favorite burger joint as in quality of burgers.
