Wonderful service at this restaurant. The worker behind the counter was very nice and the chef came out to personally ask about my experience. The food was also excellent. I got the columbian burger and it was very good. The patty was well seasoned and the pineapple habanero jam was amazing. I would definitely recomend this to my friends and I would like to return to try the bowls.

The wait is finally over-so excited to see Half Rooted up and running, serving up the best Colombian food around! My go-to favorites are the arepas, patacones, and all three styles of empanadas-you truly can't go wrong. Make sure to stop by and show some love to this amazing local, family-owned spot. You won't be disappointed!

Outstanding! A local friend recommended we will be going back anytime we're in Greenville. All the food that our group ordered looked good but I'll stick with the Columbian burger! All the flavors were perfectly combined.
