    I was very disappointed in Grass Roots today. 2 of us ordered Tortilla soup for lunch. It was their special for the day. The soup came out luke warm and it was the amount size of 12oz (which is a soda can amount). We were shocked at the small amount of soup we were served. This was a lunch item, not an appetizer item. We did send it back to the kitchen to have warmed., and it came back ok. Just very disappointed in the amount of soup that was served. We elected more...

    This was our first time back to Grassroots after being gone for the summer, thru the winter season we go quite often. We noticed the price went up, but expected that, but the portions have gotten much smaller. We had the ahi tuna steak, which is what we typically always order. We will go one more time, if the portions are still smaller we will move on. FYI the couple sitting next to us complained that their hamburgers were undercooked, should have been well done and they looked medium rare.

    We always love Grass Roots! The food is always good. The service is always top notch. Please keep doing whatever it is you are doing to keep this neighborhood gem going. A very special thanks for not having Fox on your TVs. It is very much appreciated. I would have to turn around and walk out if that changed. Keep the good stuff going!!

    We visited Grassroots on our first trip to Scottsdale in 2019. In my travel journal, I noted our meal there as our favorite meal of the trip. Fast forward to 2026, and I must say the same! The braised short rib with jalapeno grits and wilted greens was delicious -a flavor explosion in my mouth! My husband had the brisket and his only complaint-not enough grits! I think we need to visit Scottsdale more often! By the way, McKenna was a fantastic server and the crew there works together in harmony - everyone supporting each other like a symphony to make the customer experience the best from beginning to end.

    Grassroots used to be on the rotation years ago before Covid. Then we stopped going. Now we are back and it is back on the rotation. The food was excellent. Service was excellent. Why 4 stars? The chairs are really not comfortable. And the drink (Cosmo) was not great at all. Yes we will continue to go back because of the food and service. You would think that a Cosmo would be a homerun but you would be wrong.
