Grassroots Kitchen & Tap - Scottsdale

Grass Roots – 2nd Visit This Week! Came back to Grass Roots for the second time this week- I'm sucker for any restaurant over a 4.5 on Maps. The menu delivers comfort food with a fresh, creative twist that keeps things interesting without trying too hard. We dined in, and while the food hit the spot, the temperature inside was a bit of a challenge. It was 81 degrees indoors, the patio doors where finally shut because it was already 88 outside—at 11am. It's definitely something to consider on warm days. Now, onto the good stuff: The Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad was beautifully done—fresh greens, well-seasoned tuna, and just the right balance of bold flavor and lightness. Loved the dressing! $28 The Farmer’s Vegetable Chopped Salad with blackened shrimp was hearty but not heavy, with perfectly cooked shrimp and a great mix of textures. Dressing is on the creamier side rather that a light vinaigrette. $28 The Green Chili Stew was rich, cozy, and full of flavor—definitely a highlight if you're craving something warm and comforting. BUT we each had two bites and could not finish due to the temperature inside the restaurant. $9 The service was great!

Yum, yum, yum! Excellent BBQ with Carolina sauce! Those jalapeño cheddar grits and pork belly baked beans were FIRE!!!! Short Rib was fork tender and so flavorful. Ribs were melt in your mouth and the brisket was excellent! Service was on point up to and including the manager and the ambiance was fun and low key! Highly, highly recommend this place

Grassroots is one of our top spots, and their Friday Omega Burger special is unbeatable smoked salmon, arugula and homemade aioli on fresh bread. My wife swears by the Sea Smoke salad with salmon, orzo, veggies and green goddess dressing. The food, service and attention to detail always make every visit a great experience.

The restaurant's upscale prices and ambiance did not quite match the quality of the food. While the ribs were a large portion, the meat was not particularly tender. The sauce was delicious, but overall, the food was only satisfactory. At that price point, one would expect a higher standard of quality. The pork belly appetizer, however, was excellent and highly recommended. The bread service was unusual; a large sourdough loaf, cut into four thick slices, with very hard crusts.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Grassroots kitchen and tap a fantastic family-friendly spot that truly exceeded our expectations. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made it an ideal choice for our family outing. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating, ensuring we felt valued throughout our meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy, enjoyable dining experience. Check out the pictures associated with this review and follow on IG @ifooditravel

Nice patio with misters and lots of plants! The service was attentive and helpful, they do have a variety that made it hard to choose. Not pictured was the tuna poke which was amazing! Just eaten too quickly to photograph haha.

My husband made a reservation here for our 6 year anniversary and it was also our first time here. I must say it was not at all a disappointment for us first timers. To our surprise the restaurant show tremendous hospitality by surprising us with complementary appetizer of their jalapeño grits and pork belly and it was DELICIOUS! I’m not the biggest fan of pork but I highly recommend trying as it will not disappoint. My husband ordered the special which was beef ribs, potato strings, and a baked potato. The beef ribs were very well cooked and flavorful. I had the spit fire chicken which was VERY juicy and also did not disappoint. As an added surprise, we also got to try their green chicken pozole which was also amazing! We will definitely be back and would like to thank all of the staff and cooks for their generous hospitality and kindness on our special day.

This place has the best burger that I have found in Scottsdale/Phoenix after 12 years. They also have a good wine selection. The cocktails aren’t great but everything is fantastic.
