One of the best burgers I've had in quite a while. The beer battered fries were delicious as well. I'm trying to eat healthier and this place is making it more difficult, which I greatly appreciate. Cannot recommend enough!

Honestly, its delicious. Best fries I've ever had. Best beer batter ever! It's busy and you will wait, but your find is hot, fresh and amazing. Worth every minute.

Absolutely wonderful! Been trying to find some good burgers in Arcata and this was exactly what I wanted! Fries were crispy and the ranch was delicious! Very friendly staff too.

Holy camoly these were some of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Juicy, flavorful, delicious patty, bun toasted to perfection, and the toppings were fresh, generous, and just *chefs kiss*

The lady is super nice and the prices are very reasonable, specially for California.

11/10 would recommend.

A Comforting Bite in the Rain - Roman's Kitchen, Arcata

Review:
Tucked away next to Humboldt Cal Polytechnic University, Roman's Kitchen is a beacon of comfort on a dark, rainy evening in Arcata. Known for its hearty selection of burgers, this quaint eatery offers the perfect refuge for a quick, satisfying meal.

On my recent visit, the weather dictated a cozy night in, making Roman's Kitchen the ideal choice for takeout. Opting for a double patty burger accompanied by sweet potato fries, I was ready to indulge. The burger, while decent, didn't quite hit the 'spectacular' mark but was nonetheless enjoyable. The meat was nicely cooked, and the overall meal served as a great alternative to standard fast-food options.

The service at Roman's Kitchen deserves commendation. Even in the midst of a rainy hustle, the staff managed to be both efficient and friendly, ensuring a smooth takeout experience.

While the burger may not have been a culinary revelation, the combination of good food, friendly service, and the convenience of location earns Roman's Kitchen a solid 4 out of 5 from me. It's a spot I'd happily revisit when in the area, eager to explore more of what their menu has to offer.

For anyone passing through Arcata or students looking for a tasty escape from campus fare, Roman's Kitchen is worth a stop. Check out their menu; perhaps something will catch your eye and tantalize your taste buds.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

A review with a caveat. Roman's generally always has amazing burgers and the absolute best sweet potato fries I've ever had in my life. I'm a little worried that they might be slipping, though. Got a Mexican Guey today, and was a little disappointed, considering I'd spent $25+ all together on a burger and fries with a 20% tip. The young, white guy who made my burger forgot to put cheese on it, forgot to give me spicy mayo for my fries, the onions used were from that papery, fibrous outer layer of the onion, and the sweet potato fries were soggy/floppy for the first time ever. I really hope this isn't this isn't a sign of the quality I can come to expect, because Roman's has been my favorite burger spot in Humboldt since I moved here years ago. I wish I'd had the foresight to take a picture of the burger and fries, but I hadn't expected to find myself leaving this review, and all that remained were the papery onions I couldn't eat.

The Burger was extremely wet and greasy. Fries were great and the Ranch was excellent. Not worth the money we paid for the burger but still okay with the service and fries.

I can’t say this about many places, but the fries are good when cold! I got Philly Melt and my brother got the club. Everything was well sized and fresh! Food was cooked in a timely manner and served hot. I highly recommend eating here.
