Excellent the meat was perfectly cooked and the service it's really good! Not cheap hehe but worth it

We went here to celebrate my daughter's master degree. As expected service was excellent and d the food was perfection. We started with cocktails: Raspberry Beret; Spring Fashioned; rose, and Knob Creek Rye. All delicious. We then had a dozen east coast oysters which were ultra fresh and d hit the desire for a briny sea taste. We all got steak ranging from The 20 oz dry aged cowboy, to a 42 oz port house for 2 and a New York strip. All cooked perfectly. You can't go wrong here. Best steakhouse in NJ in my opinion. Plenty of parking. Never had anything other than a great meal here.

This is probably the best steakhouse I've been to. I originally had plans to have dinner in Manhattan for my 19th birthday with my friend, but after waiting an hour for the bus to arrive, we decided it was better to drive to Jersey. We heard about roots steakhouse from a friend and decided to give it a try. The hostess was so kind and immediately asked us what we were celebrating. After being seated, we were brought the most DELICIOUS bread and butter, and trust me, my father owns an Italian restaurant, and I have to say the bread at Roots was even better. The hostess soon brought me a birthday card signed by all the staff members. This was so sweet. For appetizers we got the calamari and crab cake, which were phenomenal. For dinner we got the petite strip steaks with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and french fries. There are many sides to choose from. Our server was amazing and gave us many recommendations. At the end of the dinner, because it was my birthday, our server brought out a huge ice cream sundae with candles and it was on the house!! It was certainly fate that the express bus never came to take us into Manhattan because we ended up finding the most perfect place for a date night in NJ.

Came here on a Thursday night. Parking was easy to find. Everyone was welcoming. We sat at a table in the back. I can admit the tables were pretty close together but we were ok. The service here is immaculate. They even cleaned the crumbs off our table after every course. We started out with complementary bread and butter which was good. We then ordered the dry aged steak, lobster mac, salmon, mash, and regular mac n cheese. Everything was good and the food came out within reasonable timing. For dessert we had the butter cake. We ended up spending $200+ for two people. All in all, a good restaurant that I would come back to for a special occasion.

I've been to roots 2 times: once when they had outdoor dining during the pandemic, and once recently. The atmosphere and service at roots is great, and what you would expect from a restaurant in the city. The drink options are wide, and the popovers are a unique start to the meal. However, I would say the sides and desserts are better then the steak- we ordered the dry-aged steak and the beef Wellington, both of which needed more salt and were not as flavorful as we'd hoped.

Love Roots - regardless the location. Food is always delicious (even if the menu never really changes, at least you know things are consistently good). Ambience is great, classic dark wood bar, tasteful lighting, no televisions (amen!). This location had a weird and not-well-known unofficial "reservation policy" for bar seating which was annoying for those who were unaware (you'd be standing at the bar waiting for a space to open up, and when seats eventually turned over the bartenders would deny you a seat in favor of someone "one the list" - what??). Fortunately, management learned about that "policy" and squashed it. Service is impeccable, cocktails well made. Love.

Celebrated my husband's birthday last night with my daughter and her fiancé. The food was exceptional! Highlights were the Shrimp Scampi appetizer, the seafood Platter, and slab bacon. Steaks were perfectly cooked and the wild mushrooms side and potatoes au gratin were delicious. Applause to chef Tommy for an incredible meal! Shout out to Brittany at the bar for excellent cocktails and Troy for excellent service!

I came here with my parents a few months ago. As usual, Roots rustic ambiance, excellent food/drinks and impeccable service did not disappoint! I ordered the surf and turf and it was cooked to perfection. Our server was prompt, polite and checked in frequently without being overbearing or annoying. The cocktails were unique and stellar. I'm so thankful that such a high quality restaurant exists in both Summit and Morristown. This steak house competes with all of the upper echelon ones in Manhattan. It's just as good as Keehn's and other prominent city destinations. Highly recommend!

My brother had introduced me to the Roots Steakhouse in Morristown, which I had loved. So, I was looking forward to my recent lunch at their Summit location. While not as big or spacious as the Morristown one, Summit had a very rustic, masculine vibe. They had complementary, Roots-personalized golf tees near the front door, which made sense, as it really seemed like a place for the upscale, golf audience. We were seated at a round table in their middle dining room, which had one stone wall and the rest made of windows, which allowed us to watch the hustle and bustle around the restaurant. Once we got settled, we each received a large, cheesy and airy popover. Those fluffy pastries appeared to be so light that it was easy to overlook how fattening they probably were! I paired mine with one of the mocktails that was called something starting with the word, "Zest"...It contained the non-alcoholic spirit, Seedlip, as well as NA prosecco, and one of two gave the drink a slightly "off" flavor. The mocktail also had a bunch of fruity and citrus notes, which helped minimize the strength of the bizarre NA flavor that tried to immerge. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table, though I only sampled a few. The Yellowfin Tuna Tartare was excellent! The diced fish was extremely fresh and tender. It was served over crushed, ripe avocado, but the two layers were separated by crispy wontons, which was an unique take I had never seen elsewhere. The crunchies were texturally appreciated, though they could have included less of them. The whole thing was topped with fresh ginger, black sesame seeds, wasabi cream, and ponzu sauce. I adored the zest from the added ginger, which offered a real kick. The Crispy Wagyu Dumplings were too fried for my liking, but the steak inside was flavored with what we believed was soy sauce and perhaps sesame oil; it was a very interesting rendition. For my main course, I went with the Chopped Salad, which included iceberg and romaine lettuces, tomato, corn, broccoli, carrots, feta, cucumber, and asparagus. I thought that the salad could have used much more of each of the ingredients, as it was mainly lettuce. In fact, the included romaine was even a bit wilted. I had added 3 shrimp to the salad, though I found it odd that I would need to select a preferred number. It turned out that they charged $7 per shrimp, which had not been listed on the menu. Thankfully, they were jumbo-sized and more like prawns; they were also perfectly cooked and the best part of the dish. I had ordered the salad's black peppercorn dressing on the side, which I was thankful for, as it was very thick and creamy. While each person at the table had ordered their own entrée, we decided to share a few sides, though I did not personally try any of them. However, I particularly heard rave reviews about the Whipped Potatoes, which were very smooth. Lastly, it was one of my dining companion's birthdays, so the restaurant sent out a complementary ice cream sundae that was large enough for the 6 of us. The restaurant called it "The Roots Super Sundae". While I did not taste this either, it also received positive remarks. The monstrosity was served as a giant martini glass that was holding an ice cream cone bowl filled with chocolate and vanilla scoops. On the dish, surrounding the large glass, were a bunch of semi-sweet chocolate cups that held a variety of toppings like sprinkles and M&M's. There were also little pitchers of chocolate fudge. Essentially, it was a "build-your-own" ice cream delight, which was such a fun way to end our lunch. After having two excellent meals at two different Roots locations, I could honestly say that it was one of the top steakhouses in New Jersey. It was perfect for our special occasion meal and would be for yours, as well!

Roots steakhouse is a lively scene that's great for a night with family, friends, coworkers and/or a date. The restaurant was nicely busy on a Saturday night. We hade reservations and were sat promptly at our reservation time. Our table was next to the bar which although was busy, didn't negatively impact our evening. Our server John was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He recommended dishes based on our preferences and nice wine pairings. The burrata was good, but firmer. Personally I prefer a creamier, looser burrata but it was still good. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and cooked nicely. We shared the porter house for 2 with three sides the mushrooms, broccoli and asparagus. The mushrooms side dish was the best of the three. The filet pice of the porterhouse has tremendous flavor and texture. We celebrated my birthday and was brought a Sundae on the house. It was a such a nice surprise and yummy! I had a really nice experience and look forward to going back.
