Filling, tasty and good value - Edit
Went with two non-veg people. They ordered from the menu. For vegan, I did "build your own", with rice, veggies and miso tofu, with the miso dressing. Everyone was happy! Menu is clear on which dressings and sauces are vegan. Also notes gluten. Great price for a big filling bowl! There is seating upstairs. Open later than a lot of other places nearby.

Tons of options and easy to customize your meal. As a bonus, kids get a free meal (with adult purchases)

5 stars for roots ♥️ - Edit
i wish this app would let me leave 5 stars because roots absolutely deserves it. so many vegan options (basically everything is vegan except for the chicken protein option and a few of the dressings)

11 out of 10 - Edit
I'd give this 5 stars if I could, but they also serve meat, so 4 is the max allowed. The bowls are huge, the bbq tofu is amazing, and all of the greens, grains, and vegetable add-ons are delicious. I wish Roots were in more cities.

Solid quick lunch option - Edit
Building own bowl is easy, with lots of room for vegan options, two flavors of tofu. Plenty of vegan dressings. Perfect for a work lunch or take it away.

Favorite Bowl Place in Charlottesville - Edit
Located on The Corner right next to UVA. Lots of students, faculty, staff, and other locals too. This is a typical bowl restaurant but the choices are better and seem more fresh. It is not completely vegan, but there are many choices so it is very friendly to vegans and vegetarians. Good assortment of rice type bowls with lots of very fresh toppings. If you are not sure if something is vegan or not, just ask, the staff is extremely helpful. My whole family loves this place and we eat here often when in Cville.
Read morePros: Lots of Vegan friendly options, Fast and good quality, Fun with students
Cons: Can be difficult to park if you are in a hurry. , Crowded when students are in.

Quick, delicious, yet unclear - Edit
I was in and out super quickly, and the food was great! I had to use suggestions and tips from Happy Cow as to what to get, because nothing is labeled vegan or even vegetarian. I got the southern bowl, minus the dressing and minus the cheese. It was amazing! I wish I had added avocado. I don’t love that so much of the menu is vegan friendly but you wouldn’t know it unless you do tons of research...

very good - Edit
I love the food. I wish they would mark the dressing and add ons as vegan or not. Last I checked the Lemon ZaTar dressing was vegan but most of the others are not. The BBQ tofu was vegan as well. The Southern bowl take off the cheese and sub the dressing is a winner. The staff is really nice and seems to get the order right.

Cons: no clear vegan markings, always busy

Favorite fast food in town - Edit
If I can sneak in here without a line (usually packed) I get the southern without cheese and the honey dressing. With those changes it makes a fantastic chipotle line style vegan bowl. The broccoli has a yummy char to it that the BBQ sauce compliments nicely.

Bowls for Days! - Edit
After visiting Roots for a quick lunch on my first day arriving in Charlottesville I was hooked! Don't shy away due to the long line out the door- it moves fast and YES it is worth it. If you like to control what goes into your salad and enjoy super fresh produce this place is for you! Small seating outdoors and a great upstairs area with powerful AC to escape the heat. You will not regret a visit here! Pro-tip: take one home for tomorrow's lunch ;)
Read morePros: Excellent produce, Tofu options, Reasonable prices
Cons: Complicated ordering to omit animal products, Worker errors, High volume of customers

Great!! - Edit
You can customize your order which is really awesome and the staff was really nice! The food is prepared right in front of you and it's super quick. My mom and I both ordered the Tamari signature bowl and it was delicious! The tofu was on point and it's a big serving so I was very satisfied. I will definitely be going back!
