Rootz Bar n Cafe

This was so worth it! Was in town visiting and wanted some good caribbean food. When I say the food was soooooo good🔥🔥, and they give a good portion for the amount you pay! Kimberly, waitress and cashier, was a sweetheart. Me and my friend ate there, place was small and casual but good vibes. If I didn't have to catch a flight back home, if I lived there, I would of been ordering food here all the time. Picture of stew snapper, escovitch, bamny, festival, steamed cabbage, rice and beans, and thee bomb rum punch!

I came to Fort Lauderdale for a birthday party and was introduced to this restaurant I must say preparation time very reasonable ,presentation was amazing , service great, restaurant was clean, but most of all the food was delicious.

10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend!!! I don't know where to begin. OMG! The food was to die for. Everything is made fresh. We had the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta and all I can say was WOW! I was amazing! The flavors were so good and it was served piping hot and fresh. My girlfriend had the steamed fish with a side of steamed bammy and her mouth is still watering from the presentation and flavors. We also had a side of jerk chicken wings and we are still licking our fingers from it tasting so amazing! So not only is the food good but the staff and the chef was super friendly and nice. We went for a brunch with my girlfriends and I and ended up staying there for 3 hours talking enjoying the vibe and atmosphere. If you have a chance please take the time to stop by and enjoy the food! Tell the chef Stacy sent you 😀.

The food was great, and I had the curry shrimp, which was a nice size, not spicy but amazing flavors. We also enjoyed escovitch snappers and were delicious great spice and flavors. I like plastic resealable containers, unlike other restaurants that use Styrofoam clam shells. The only negative was that it was a long wait for the delivery. The food was delivered over an hour when the order was placed. The Uber driver had to wait a while for food to be packed. We will definitely think of future orders. Update 1.11.25 Ordered Cajun Chicken Salad and was ready in 15 mins for pickup. It's superb, with a massive amount of lettuce,corn,tomatoes, and strawberries! The big chunks of heavy peppered chicken were outstanding and 🔥, so be prepared. I ate it for dinner after 8 pm, and there was too much food. I will definitely devour the leftovers Update 2.15.25 Bang Bang shrimp with rice and peas and plantains was amazing. The shrimp texture sweet, battered with a nice crunch. The meals are massive, couldn't eat all. I will definitely finish Sunday. The escovitch snapper with plantains and steam veggie is phenomenal. The fish is huge and nuff flavor. The escovitch sauce so good i put it on bang bang shrimp.

First off, worth the wait and price. I made the mistake of not calling ahead and ordered when I got there. Had to wait 30 minutes but well worth it. Food was fresh and hot. Seasoned great and large portions. I got the Barbi fried chicken and a side of Mac n cheese. My wife got the Cajun salmon pasta. To my surprise they give the option of white or dark meat. My wife loved the pasta and had leftovers. Here are the reasons I didn't give them 5 stars for the food. Came in hoping to taste their jerk chicken and they had none. Also said they don't know when or what day they would. Their Mac n cheese is to sweet for my taste. Cheese consistency was ok but the sugar kept throwing me off. I'll definitely try them again and will call ahead. Hopefully they'll have jerk chicken.

They had music playing as soon as I walked it, which instantly set the mood! I got the Mac and cheese and grilled chicken breast and boy the flavors were amazing my taste buds were literally dancing. Will definitely be coming back!!!

The Ital option was exceptional. The portion size was bigger than almost every restaurant. This place has been put as one of my favorites to return to when in the area. Kim, the front person, was nice, helpful, and chopped up some fresh pepper for me. Good service is hard to find, especially when coupled with good Ital food.

The food has gotten better over the years. I love how innovative the owner is with his menu. At first I wasn’t a fan but I stuck around and I’m a huge fan now. The lamb chops and jerk wings have grown to be my favorite dish on the menu. I highly recommend trying them.
