Roots

A friend and I ate here at noon for lunch. I had the Tuscan sandwich and she had the Chix Club sandwich. They were both fabulous! Each came with a side and we both picked rosemary potatoes which were awesome as well. We will return definitely, maybe closer to evening as they have live music at night.

Roots is in the downtown square of Georgetown in a building that is over 100 years old. Parking is challenging around the square, but it is worth finding a spot. The restaurant is a large open space with a second level balcony with additional tables and seating. We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and there was only one table occupied, so plenty of open seating. There is a small stage by the front door, and I can tell that this place can get crowded, especially when they have live music. The menu has a great variety of choices, salads, appetizers, tacos, sandwiches, burgers, and pizza. I got the El Cubano sandwich, and my wife got the California Tacos with slow braised pork and a side salad. Wes, the restaurant manager, was friendly and talked with us about the food and history of the building and restaurant. We enjoyed talking with him and he is also clearly great in the kitchen because both meals were excellent! The Cuban sandwich had slow braised pulled pork and was topped with Swiss cheese, pickles, horseradish aioli, and Dijon on a Cuban roll. The pork was tender and juicy, and the Cuban roll was pressed, so the outside was slightly crunchy, perfect to hold in all the juiciness of the sandwich. I would definitely get this sandwich again. My wife loved her tacos. The salsa gave the right level of spices to take this taco over the top. She gave me a bite and I almost didn’t want to give it back to her! A lot of restaurants out there are making some type of taco plate, but this is one of the best tacos that we have tried. Even the side salad was excellent, and the ranch dressing was great. Wes told us that the dressing, like almost all items, are made in house. We can’t wait to come back and try the pizza, and also bring our entire family. If that is not enough to convince you to try Roots, let’s talk about price. The El Cubano sandwich was 12.00 and the California Taco plate was 10.50. This place is excellent value for your money, especially compared to other places in the Georgetown area. My wife and I spent more money on two subs at a sandwich shop than we spent here. I really give credit to Roots for working to keep prices reasonable while providing fresh and delicious food! Go to Georgetown square, find a parking spot, and go to Roots. Based on our experience, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, amazing food, great authentic Texas vibe. The best food we had were the Korean style tacos and the pizza!

Took myself for a solo date here. The pizza was great! Medium pepperoni the music and atmosphere was fun and warm. Definitely will be back to try more. And def recommend!

I love this place! West and Vicky make this place thrive. Tuesday’s are karaoke with DJ Gavin! Plus 2 tacos. Wednesday is open mic night! Great for the whole family with an upstairs and back patio. They always have the beer I like and the staff know you’re name. I am bringing more and more people here to meet some of the amazing people that I’ve been so Lucky to meet. This small town place has made me believe in restaurants again! Ok I think I come here too often. Y’all there is an upstairs and a back out door seating area. DJ has changed but super great time. If you get the pizza you must try the kitchen sink!!!

One of the best Pizzas I’ve tried in a long time!! The crust to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The pizza and ingredients top notch! I was like 600 degrees down the street ain’t got nothing on this place! Glad I came and will make the drive to Georgetown just to eat here. Gonna try the tacos next time.

I've only ordered through doordash, but when the pizza arrives warm or hot it's excellent. Very good bar pie; robust sauce, 2mm layer of cheese and 3mm charred & crispy crust. No flop. Some bubbles (good). Best pizza available in Georgetown. Can't speak on service or atmosphere. Not Roots' fault the dashers have to do other orders, get stuck in traffic, or don't get hot bags...

How have I missed this place living here 2 plus years! The pizza is so good. We just had the plane Jane pepperoni pizza (my kiddos don’t know anything different) and it was so good! The queso was good too! Loved the ambiance!
