Being a vegetarian wife to an omni husband sometimes makes eating out a challenge. Roman's Kitchen to the rescue! After reading the Yelp and Facebook reviews, I thought we'd give it a try and they did not disappoint. The veggie burger was great. My husband loved his Redwood sandwich, too. The cheese fries were also very good, but the sandwiches were so filling we didn't even need the fries. The customer service was fabulous, too. In my husband's words, "they were hella nice!" Yes, we're from California. read more

One of my go to spots in Arcata! Roman's has a great variety of food. Can't go wrong with the Grilled Turkey Pesto, Loaded Fries or the Wings. Be sure to call and ask for the daily specials! Whenever they have it, try the taco plate (I get asada) or the torta! The food is moderately priced, but most definitely worth it if you're looking for better tasting food. read more

Western bacon burger was delicious. Had to use lots of napkins. It is so juicy and wonderful.

Yummy burger and nice staff. Good prices too! If you're near the university and have a hankering for a sandwich to go check it out.

Best burgers in Arcata! My favorite is.. well I like them all. Everything on their menu is tasty. Made fresh. We also get their wings on occasion. read more

Their hours are incorrect and it is has been a hit or miss as for the food qualityfor the last year. I love that they are close to my house, but I miss the food quality when it l was next to the pot shop. Wish they would be truthful to their hours that are posted online. read more

Had the BLT and fries... wonderfully delicious. Scrumptious. Fries were superb. Will go back for sure.

Get the western burger, it will change your life. Pretty much everything on this menu will change your life. The loaded fries will actually change your entire life. read more

So good, all the time. Never let me down. Everything on the menu is great. Weekend tortas are something I look forward to

Great burgers and fries. Very popular food truck Downside is takes awhile to get food due to high turnout read more

Ambiance: Not much ambiance given the place is a food truck but they have picnic benches and chairs outside with plenty of paper towels. The staff are super-friendly although food can take a bit of time since it's made to order. Food: Some of the best burgers in town. The patties are a good size, juicy, and tender. They're the kind that leave a small puddle of meaty juices at the bottom of your basket, but don't taste greasy at all. We have had the mushroom-provolone and avocado burger which both had very reasonable amount of toppings. We've also had the philly dip was my least favorite. It was savory and plentiful but the sliced beef wasn't the same as the chopped crispy beef of a true philly. The au jus was nothing special and really not needed. The shining part of the meal, however, was the chili cheese fries which had excellent crispy battered fries and a meaty savory chili. Overall these are some dang good burgers. They have great variety, are well-composed, and their chili fries are pretty glorious. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Gourmet burgers and sandwiches. Declaring this some of the best food along the northern coast would not be an exaggeration! Excellent friendly fast service. If you're local, it is beneficial to call in your order 15 min in advance. This place deserves a 6th GOLD star! read more

This food truck is amazing. They make the best hamburgers and french fries around. I have never had anything bad from this food truck. I would recommend Roman's to anyone and everyone! read more

Very tasty veggie burger (got mine without cheese but you can get yours with). Is it weird to say I really liked the bun? Light & crispy where they toasted it. Didn't take a picture of the sweet potato fries - ate them pretty quick. Definitely recommend! Quick, easy, tasty. read more

Ham and cheese and sweet potato fries hit the spot! It's in such a convenient spot near my house, too!

Super Friendly Food Truck Great local, grass fed beef burgers. Nice crispy fries. Husband loved the Inferno burger and I had a very good mushroom, swiss burger. $20 gets you canned drinks, two burgers, and fries. read more

Food is always consistently good! I do wish the acoustics were a bit better. With hearing aids it makes it kinda hard to converse unless I'm looking directly at the person I'm talking to..... read more

Bomb.com have a wide range of food ! They can get pretty busy, be patient because it's worth the wait for sureee! Delicious!

Very pleasantly surprised, given the somewhat odd location: both the burger and the sandwich we ordered were fresh and flavorful. The "best burger in town" flag they fly might actually be well deserved! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. The best fries I have ever had. My daughter got the BBQ pork which was wonderful, my wife had a veggie burger with BBQ that was wonderful. Even *she* eyed the pork sandwich. My mushroom/provolone burger was good, too. When we come back through, we are definitely stopping here. read more

I had my humans drive me here because I heard this place had some burgers. The 30 minute wait was a bit much but at least I know my burger was made to order. I really enjoyed the bacon. My humans loved the fries and said the veggie covered bacon burger was really tasty too. We will totally be back...of course my human will be trying the veggie burger but I won't be sampling that. read more

the burger and fries were super good. i thought chorizo on a burger was really creative, and it was fire. the burger was a little greasy but that is to be expected with chorizo. so no complaints here!! the employees were super nice! definitely will return next time i'm visiting. read more

Love this place!! The people who own it are always so kind and seem like they love what they do. I've tried so much on their menu and all of it is delicious. Seriously great cooks! read more

Long wait but well worth it. You can taste the farm to table freshness. Great dinner to enjoy in the campervan! read more

The burgers are getting expensive, but year in, year out, one can always count on a delicious lunch at Roman's of a burger and fries!! It's a highlight of our Arcata visits. read more

Wings were soggy, like they had beef soaking in Buffalo sauce all day. No dressing provided for the salad, so fairly disappointed given the reviews. read more

Use to be awesome, now they overcook everything, including the bread. Fries are still banging. I could have a whole meal of those things.

I got a veggie burger (inferno style) so full of jalapeño and stuffed with lettuce, tomato and onion with cheese and mayo. We also got a side of fries and my boyfriend got a regular cheeseburger. Total was 19.75. We got a to go order, they were quick. They did forget our fries, but we went back and they served us new ones (: friendly staff and good portions read more

Romans!!! Man this is the spot wether you are hungry or not . If you come across this place in arcata you must stop and grab a quick bite or even just grab something for later . The Philly burger is my ultimate favorite . Packed with fresh quality flavor you can tell it's made with love . P.s This is a food truck read more

Simple, nice service and great tasting burger. $8.30 total for a classic burger alone, no cheese or extra stuff. A little pricier than I was expecting to spend but supposedly it is grass fed (I don't believe it's grass finished) but still a good burger. read more

Overall, this is one of the best food trucks in the area (though I do have trouble categorizing those that are fixed in the same location as a true "food truck"). The Good: -Excellent food. Every item I have tried there has been of high quality and taste. -The prices are fair for what you receive. -With a varied menu, there is something for everyone. The Less Than Good: -The ordering process could be much more refined. Phone orders often interrupt the interaction between staff and the paying customer already standing there. The last time I visited, I was with a group of 4 other coworkers on our lunch break. Nearly each of us was interrupted by a phone order, and by the time all of us had placed an order our 30 minute lunch was basically over! Not only that, but the phone orders that interrupted us got fulfilled sooner than our own, so it took about an hour for everyone to get their meal. This can be disappointing when the goal is eating out with a group. Overall, a great place to eat with a few kinks in the customer service area to work out. Thanks!! read more

This place is a great place to get some delicious food!! The reason for the four stars is because the consistency of quality food has been up and down. I've rated here about five times and two of those times the food was soggy :( and the first time my food was soggy is because they forgot to call my name out and I waited for a long time and decided to go ask and then they realized they had it. It was super busy that night so I understand. But the other times I've been here it has been very tasteful food especially for a quick bite. There is no real seating since it's a truck so make sure to get it to go and you have to ask for utensils. Also definitely check frequently if your waiting on your food. read more

Tons of options, bomb burgers, too many to name. I also get a sandwich from time to time. Chicken strip baskets are also popular. Wings, loaded fries, chili cheese fries, motz stix, salads, they have it all! read more

DE-LI-CIOUS!! I had the Chicken ranch melt with jalapeños and a side of sweet potato fries and man oh man. I am satisfied! Great flavors and great quality of the food. read more

One of the best burgers around . Good service. Just wanted to let you all know how good they are

Stopped going here because burgers just drip 1/4c of grease onto everything. Used to love it here! Bummer.

My daughter is a HSU student and Roman's is nearby; anytime we're in Arcata we always eat here. Their hamburgers are the best! My favorite is the Sriracha Bacon Burger and the Mexican Guey (pronounced Way - remember this or they'll make fun of you when you order!). My wife likes the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the Grilled Chicken Cali. Their beer battered French fries are killer. I like them coated in fresh garlic. But you gotta try the Loaded Fries (Shredded Cheddar and Jack Cheese, Fresh Garlic, Bacon, and side of Ranch or Homemade Spicy Mayo) - this can be a meal - its a big portion. They're located on a cul-de-sac just across the street from the main HSU entrance. read more

Roman's has been serviceable before but these past couple experiences have been glorious! The mushrooms were cooked to perfection, the swiss embraced the juicy, quality tested beef patty like a long lost friend! The main reason I was inspired to write the review was the garlic fries! Oh, friends: The GARLIC FRIES. Not only were the fries the perfect thickness, it only complemented the crunchy exterior that guarded some of the most pillowy potato clouds I have ever tasted. Also, this isn't some garlic salt dusted fries that you'd receive at any of your local greasy spoons for the same four dollars, these fries are coated in garlic and actual salt to the most complimentary degree. As a local lard ass i'd highly recommend Romans Kitchen, they treat you as well as the ingredients they provide and it has been truly showing lately. Till we eat again, bye~ read more

Tried this place based on Yelp reviews. Our family collectively gave it 3 1/2 stars...but we rounded up. First let me say we are from Texas so eating outside when it's 58 degrees brought the score down for us....as we were cold & our food got cold quickly. The burgers were pretty good. The patty's are very thin so they dry out pretty quickly. The ingredients seemed very fresh so that's a bonus. We had the garlic fries & onion rings...both good. I would eat here again on a much warmer day. read more
