Tasty burgers

Situated on the promenade above the beach, it was great to see a vegan food truck so busy. Burgers were generous size with bacon and sauces.

Marking as a 4 as its a bit expensive for somewhere that's outdoors and the only seating isn't very comfortable

Great vegan fast food by the beach!

Saw Roots for quite a long while before having a chance to try, wasn’t disappointed! Good burgers, crispy chips loaded with tasty special sauce and cabbage. Their special menus are amazing too! 😊

Tasty burgers and loaded fries

A small selection of vegan burgers and loaded fries, as well as Oreo and biscoff milkshakes. Tasty and nice to see it had the largest queue of all the food trucks at the beach!
Only giving 4 stars because I do think it is expensive for what it is - £9.50 for a burger that doesn’t come with chips and £6.50 for a milkshake. Ok for once in a while but I don’t think it is worth that price. Will get occasionally to support the vegan business and I do recommend😄

Pros: Tasty, Nut free , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive

Lovely to see a vegan business doing well!

This place has a really good menu, and I was looking forward to trying it on my trip to Aberdeen. Unfortunately, they'd sold out of Tofu (for the Special Salt & Pepper Tofu burger) and Cauliflower. They did offer alternatives, but as I personally don't eat mock meats, I had to turn down these very kind suggestions and just had some fries. The fries were delicious, and it was a generous portion, so I was very full after.
Honestly, I was a little disappointed, but I was also really pleased to see a small vegan business with a massive queue on a Sunday afternoon. I look forward to trying them properly if I'm ever visiting Aberdeen in future.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful

Cons: They run out towards the end of the weekend

Amazing fries

This was my first visit and definitely won’t be my last. I had the Roots Signature Loaded fries and they were so delicious and flavourful. The staff were great and it didn’t take long to make despite being busy. It was a gorgeous day so I was able to sit on a bench by the beach watching the dolphins jump.

Top quality burgers

We had the Bacon, the Korean and the Southern burgers and they were all extremely tasty : the best vegan burgers of 2023 so far.
Their textures were incredible and the ingredients well seasoned.

Pros: Generous portions, Nice staff, Seaside view

Cons: Pricy

Insane burgers!

The food there is insanely yummy. We were quite full from the meal we had before but still had to try at least one burger - what a luck! This was seriously one of the best European burgers so far. Unfortunately they‘re only at their food truck on the weekend.

Pros: Fingerlicking good burgers , Nice spot at the beach

Cons: Only on weekends

Amazing fast food with a view

Roots should definitely be on your list of vegan hotspots in Aberdeen. Combine it with a visit to Footdee and the beach and you will have an amazing time. The price is just right and the burger was very tasty. I would definitely go again to try more of their menu!

Best burgers we’ve ever had

So glad we managed to catch this place open as we missed them the first time we were in Aberdeen as they were on holiday. So worth the wait. We had the katsu curry chicken burger, the bbq short rib burger and an Oreo milkshake. The burgers were so flavoursome and the sauces were amazing. Warning, you feel like you need to take a shower afterwards as they get very messy! A must visit!

Pros: All vegan menu , The best burgers with amazing sauces

Cons: Bit out of the way, but worth the travel , Pricey, but good quality ingredients so worth it , Busy, but not on rainy days

Excellent!

I was on a day trip to Aberdeen, just wandering alongside the beach getting pretty hungry. And then I accidentally ran into these guys! What a good luck!

Their food is super delicious and it's so hard to choose, I wish I could taste everything from the menu. The service is really fast and friendly.

Thumbs up, I'll be back!

Pros: Delicious comfort food

Amazing VEGAN food right on the beach

ROOTS is completely vegan. They are open Fri - Sun over the week end all Winter (and now full time at Bar 99 on Back Wynd).
The food is excellent - really tasty variety of burgers with attention to detail such as a toasted brioche bun. Chips, drinks and loaded fries too.
Friendly service, cute little green van (down the Footdee end), tables and chairs.
Make yourself happy and head down there :)

Pros: Fully vegan, Excellent food, Very friendly
