I bought an Epic Nacho Plate. It normally comes with barbecue jackfruit, but they were sold out of that. So this included chips, lentil chili, vegan cheese, slaw, lettuce, and avocado. This was a large serving. I had to share this one with my travel companion. This was a beautiful plate of nutritious food. The slaw was excellent. The chili and cheese worked well together.
I also tried the Pizza Panini which included in-house mozzarella, fire roasted red bell pepper, black olives, capers, red onion, and vegan mayo. The filling was creamy with a slight saltiness from the capers and olives. This has a good amount of vegan cheese. The bread was nice and crunchy. It came with a side of chips. This was very flavorful.
The prices were higher than I expected, but the serving sizes were generous. The dining area was clean with a minimalist modern rustic styling. It was nice and peaceful until the loud blender came on. The service was friendly and fast enough. Overall, the food was good but did have a "health food" quality that reminded me of vitamins. Some textures were weird, probably because of the gluten-free ingredients. But don't let that scare you away. It's just a minor thing I noticed.
It seems that they specialize in jackfruit barbecue meals, smoothies, and juices, so I'll need to try some of those before I develop a fair opinion of Real Roots Cafe. I'll try to go back soon and get some jackfruit barbecue. I was excited to try that. What I ordered this time was good, but I suspect the missing jackfruit would make the nachos really come alive.
If you're traveling on I-75 and want some vegan food, check out Real Roots Cafe. It's just south of Chattanooga.
