This is good food not premade fast food. I highly recommend the homemade chicken noodle soup. It's really good. Just say no to chains! read more

We love introducing new friends to Roma's Café. We started off with two bowls of Cream of Crab soup. The soup was creamy, thick, and topped with lots of crab meat. My husband always brings a little sherry to add to the soup. It takes it up a notch! My husband enjoyed the broiled Salmon. His dinner came with two sides. So, he ordered rice and also a baked potato, which he gave to me to enjoy. I ordered a Shrimp Salad sandwich with lettuce and tomato - hold the bread with chips which was delicious. The shrimp were very large and very nicely seasoned. Our friends had a Cheesesteak sub with chips and the Mediterranean salmon with basmati rice. We especially enjoy BYOB with no corkage fee. The service is always attentive and friendly. read more

Excellent, super friendly service ! Delish cheesesteak subs for the two of us. Interesting decor with Persian flair. Pricing was great as well. 3rd time here and will back again . I would love to share the pics, but we were super hungry and it came out fast and we gobbled everything in a flash it was so good! read more

My husband & I were from out of town. We were looking for something to eat & found this gem. It was hard to find. It's at the back of a tire place. We drove around twice & missed it. Ended up driving slowly through Mr. Tires parking lot & THEN saw the sign for it in the next driveway. Well worth the hassle. Great food, wonderful people. I highly recommend this place. If we were locals, we'd be here all the time. read more

Our group of 10 former co-worker friends had a reservation at Roma's at 6:00 PM on Saturday. They had our table ready and waiting for us when we arrived. We really enjoy coming here for the attentive service and delicious food. It is a restaurant where we can easily converse with each other - it is never noisy. We also like the BYOB policy with no corkage fee. How they keep us all straight is a miracle to us, but they do. We ordered everything from soup to nuts. Everyone tried something different - from subs, sandwiches, seafood, etc. We were all thrilled with our dinners. The food is freshly prepared to order, and the portions are always so generous. Thank you so much for another great dining experience! read more

An amazing restaurant. Good food and great friendly service. Just had one of their most delicious cheese steak subs. And their prices are most reasonable! A quiet, friendly place to eat. Try it. You won't be disappointed! read more

I was reminded about this place by a local Facebook group. This is supposed to be a "little local gem" to the area. I've lived here 11 years and have never tried Roma's so we thought we'd give it a shot for dinner. We ordered through Door Dash and the food arrived rather promptly. We ordered a cup of cream of crab, cheesey garlic bread, a chicken Parmesan sub, and the shrimp Alfredo (with a side Cesar salad). The cream of crab soup is lack luster in flavor. There's very minimal seasoning to the soup base- zero sherry and topped with imported crab. Definitely NOT blue crab! The cheesy garlic bread is nothing to write home about not garlicky at all. The chicken parm sub had just enough sauce to make the bread pink, was bland, with almost no cheese and the bread was essentially burnt (1/2 he actually ate- not pictured). The Caesar salad? Yeah couldn't tell you. I didn't get one. The shrimp Alfredo was 7 large shrimp with the tails still on. And while yes I understand that this is "proper" plating in the restaurant world, can I tell you what a PAIN it is to cut them off when they are smothered in sauce? Now the sauce....not an Alfredo sauce this was merely a cream sauce with Italian seasoning. Not a hint of garlic nor can you taste any pecorino- romano cheese. I really had high hopes for this place unfortunately we were greatly disappointed. What a waste of $70. Doubtful we'll be back read more

Small place but big on delicious Italian food. When you eat here you will feel like you are eating in Italy. My sister-in-law who lives in Italy love this place and the food when we took her here when she was visiting us. read more

This unassuming Cafe has deliciouse lunch and dinners. Nice assortment on the menue. The owners are very gracious, polite and courtious. I love spending my money where the service is this good. This location is tucked out of site from York road by Jiffy Lube. Plenty of safe parking. read more

Inconsistent food. Use 2 different types of mozzarella sticks, one very good the other very poor but do not specify which one they are using. Subs can either be very good or very bad. Picked my food up on time and the bread on the sub was inedible as it was complete mush and the sub was falling apart. If you're going to give a pick up time, don't make the food and have it sit for minutes. read more

Great little family-friendly spot. Food is always tasty, portions are large, and cost is very reasonable. Good selection of specials in addition to standard items. We return frequently and are never disappointed. read more

Nice little spot off the busy York rd. Prices were very reasonable and portions were large. Service was excellent. Next time I'm gonna try the chicken kabob platter read more

Kind service, excellent food. Great value and always consistent. They even give the kids free ice cream. Our go to place for a quick meal!

I ordered through Grubhub Order #36342451-6091274 and was very disappointed in the quality of the meal I ordered. I have never visited this cafe before but I ordered a baked potato and a crabcake. The potato was so small that it could be put inside a small side to go container with room for two dinner rolls. The potato was obviously past it's prime. When I cut into it there was a brown eyespot, and the potato must have sprouted because I accidentally bit down on a bud. My second side was broccoli and the spears were oversized and under steamed. They were very hard to the bite and also past their prime. I know from my own experience broccoli can change color when prepared but the three different shades of puce were off putting. No vibrant greens that indicate fresh vegetables here. The main dish was the crab cake and while the size was decent the crabcake itself was full of filler meat, shells, and bread. I didn't even finish the meal. All in all I would never order here again and honestly would like to be refunded. I know that isn't possible so instead I chose to leave this honest review of the food. I have never been inside the establishment. I am sure the staff and owners are delightful, however the food certainly was not. The cost was fair had the food been of better quality, but for what I got the $20 seems excessive. read more

Roma's Seafood Cafe in Cockeysville quality of their food and service has gone down considerably. See pictures of the nasty, mushy crab cakes they sold me with all filler and no crabmeat. They also sold me greasy scallops one time which were supposed to be fried. They were greasy with no flavor and no breading. Their crab Imperial used to be delicious, now it's watery and buttery with no crabmeat. Do yourself a favor and save your money and time and go somewhere where you will receive quality food and service for your money. read more

Ordered some carryout to have for dinner in our hotel room during a couple day stay in Cockeysville, and it was a good choice. My wife had just had surgery and wanted something light, so she went with the grilled cheese sandwich (good) and chicken noodle soup (very good). I had the MD crab soup and meatball sub, both which were very good. We also had an order of onion rings, which were average. prices were good, and they do a good job with their Covid protocol (I saw masks on every employee, including the kitchen), which I appreciated. Seemed like a good place to me. read more

I love Roma's ! I've been ordering from here for years! The cream of crab soup and garlic bread is my go to!

Laid back, nothing fancy, family run, neighborhood type cafe restaurant with a varied menu, reasonable prices, large portions of good food, and absolutely OUTSTANDING service!!! What more could you want??? read more

The best and most friendly staff! Quiet and clean space with very good food! Great spaghetti and meatballs. The milkshakes are really good too! read more

Tried Romas Cafe for the first time. We had a party of 6, from the time we walked in until the time we left the customer service was Awesome. All 6 ordered something different and came in a timely manner. Food was hot and Delicious. Definitely will be returning soon. read more

Woah woah woah! Stop the clock and hit em with the Hein! This place is out of this world. Ordered stuffed mushroom caps, lasagna with sausage added, bacon cheeseburger sub with everything, and an order of hot wings. Carry out food is NOT supposed to be this quality, especially at this price!!! Everything was absolutely on point, and better than most restaurants that would charge a multiple of this price point. Let's start with the Caps. Essentially comes the size of a restaurant imperial which tastes of the freshest domestic lump and outstanding sauce on top what tastes like baby Bella's. Wowsa. Wings. Tasty (not just Franks) and freshly melt in your mouth. Who woulda thunk? Bacon cheeseburger sub. Tastes perfectly charbroiled with great roll and fresh toppings. And the lasagna is better than 90% of what I've had at restaurants, INCLUDING little Italy, Rome and Florence!!! Everything fresh, depth of taste and texture, and ridiculously low priced. How have I been driving past this place for so long and wasting my money elsewhere? Can't wait to try some specials. Roma, you had me at hello. read more

I've been trying out local pizza places in the area, and this place BY far has the best pizza that I've had in this area. The delivery guy was super quick with my order. Pizza and onion rings were delicious. The pizza was done perfectly and the sauce had a level of sweetness to it. Not too sweet. Onion rings were a little on the soggy side, but that was on me for waiting a while before eating them. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Excellent quality food with very reasonable prices! Their service is great and everyone is nice.

Steak sub a little on the salty side. French fries were cooked perfect but they used a cooking oil resulting in a weird taste. The special I had was only $9.99 including a beverage, good value overall. read more

The atmosphere is quiet and very clean. Eat in is quite nice looking, and you go to the back to order for take out. I must say, the food is excellent here, a little pricey, but since the pandemic, everybody has to raise there prices. I ordered the Cheesesteak sub w/lettuce, tomato's, grilled onions, mayo, and Yellow American cheese, and fries. The sub was heavy with meat, and well worth the price. Can't wait to go back to order something else different. Thank you Roma's! You gotta go try them if you are a foodie like I am. Cheese read more

Fast delivery and delicious food what more can I say! This restaurant is close to my work so I tend to order from them very often. They are always friendly and the food is always piping hot and delicious! I would recommend crab stuffed mushrooms, cheesesteak, mozzarella sticks, and a chocolate cake is delicious. read more

Very good pizza and subs. Be aware the pizza dough is made with heavy cream. Probably not an issue for most pizza fans. But I can't do dairy , so I usually order my pizza without cheese and add toppings. Fortunately I asked. read more

Food was okay, server was preoccupied by the annoying "Bachelor" TV show playing on the big screen, soft drinks and water running low - couldn't believe they didn't serve wine or beer. Probably why my order was messed up. Entrance as hideous as was the decor - just clean it up guys! Hidden discrete location off the main road - surprised they are still popular with all of the food choices. Yelp photos looked good, but they had way too large of a menu. Owners/servers looked unkempt - not appealing. Food was decent, but suspect of the kitchen view. Honestly Yelpers, I'd move on. read more

Solid food in a no nonsense setting. Extensive menu and I'm told the chicken parmigiana is the best. We had broiled fish and a burger cooked in a plain way. Bread was average. Very nice owners. read more

Going to keep my original rating because I think the seafood quality alone justifies it, but I do want to warn people to avoid ordering the steaks here. I think it should come as common sense given how suspiciously low the price points are for premium cuts like "New York Strip" ($16) and "Filet Mignon" ($20) as well as the fact that this restaurant primarily specializes in Mediterranean cuisine (as opposed to being a steakhouse), but I did ultimately order both on separate occasions out of curiosity to see if they would be any good. Unfortunately, they were both pretty flavorless and dry, and it only reaffirmed my original doubts about them actually being the cuts listed on the menu. There's the saying "you get what you paid for," but bad/cheap steaks have almost never been worth their price in my experience (after all, why spend money to eat low quality food when I could make low quality food for cheaper at home :P). I really don't want to be too mean here because I think the restaurant is overall a nice place with friendly staff and other great menu options, but I just cannot vouch for the steaks. If any of the restaurant managers/owners/chiefs are reading this, I would suggest taking the steaks off your menu. I do not know how much money the restaurant makes from serving them, but I can't imagine it's more than the money you'd get from happy returning customers (such as myself, but I probably wouldn't have been if my first time ordering was the steaks) as well as the money saved from just not needing to supply these beef cuts. Restaurants 90% of the time are going to be judged by first impressions, and if a first time customer orders one of these cheap steaks, they'll think the rest of the menu options are similar quality (which I know from tasting the other menu items, is definitely not the case). Just trying to be as constructive as possible here, but if anyone feels differently about the steaks please reply to this. Still a great restaurant in my books if you don't order the steaks! read more

We ordered pizza from this location and it was typical pizza for the area. My husband and I are from NJ/NY and know good pizza, this is not that. The dough was some type of pre made chewy dough that was ok. Overall it was an ok experience with ok food. read more

Tiramusu is great! Stuffed rockfish--wow! So fresh and tasty! Shrinp salad always yummy! Broccoli is seasoned w butter and something I couldn't put my finger on, but unique, fresh and flavorful. My family loves this place. It's a hidden gem and good for family dinners. Intimate and cozy. Limited outdoor seating. read more

Very large portions, remember that! It's a local place and the food is very good. There's no rush to get your food out, and there shouldn't be since they take the time to make the food delicious. I started with cream of crab, which is fantastic. I also had the cheese sticks, they were okay but nothing special. My main meal was the chicken Parmesan which was very good. They definitely pack the food on and the sauce that's used has a very unique flavor, but the uniqueness is really good. This is a good place to go to, especially if you want to avoid the larger chains. read more

Best cheeseburger sub I have ever had. The char on the burger was perfect. It was so good I forgot to share with my fiancé. Oops. They are so nice too. I stopped by after an oil change. They gave me a cup of vegetable soup on the house. Really good soup. The greek salad that I am saving for dinner is huge. So glad I stopped in! Will go back every time my fiancé and I get our oil changed at Mr. Tire. read more

Pizza was awesome and so was the greek salad... not authentic hence the lettuce but dressing and contents were good. Cant wait to try other stuff read more

I am a person with a disability and can only walk short distances using two canes, so carrying things is difficult many times. I use a mobility scooter for long distances and long periods of times. I am no longer able to just jump in and out of my vehicle to run into an establishment for anything. I am in a great deal of pain with every step I take and move I make. I say all this as a matter of explanation which I owe to no one, since I should not have to explain my conditions to anyone operating an establishment such as a restaurant that serves nourishment to patrons. I say this because I lament the lost value of customer service -- to anyone -- much less someone with disabilities. I receive this kind service from many establishments around town. There are three that give me a hard time, another used to but is now ok about it. Some months ago, I went to Roma's one evening, called and explained I use a wheelchair, and asked if they/he would bring my order to my van --parked directly outside the entrance -- when it was ready, and I would pay with exact cash. The gentleman came to the door, opened it, looked at me in my van, and said no, he would not be able to do that for me. He came as far as the door without a food order. He could have come 10 more feet WITH one and I'd be writing a nice piece instead of a negative review. I wanted to try this restaurant, but was denied the kindness of a little extra service. I have not been back since and am not likely to go back anytime soon. read more

some of the best food north of warren road. keep your eyes open or you might pass it. the owners make sure you are happy with everything you order. if you want they will most likely make anything you want if it isn't on the menu. if want it delivered it will show up fast and hot. It's hard to find. read more

Hands down we love this place , good family restaurant . We have not found a better stuffed shrimp anywhere, everything on the menu is tasty, and a good bang for your buck Thanks to all at Roma's See ya soon Robert read more

Great food, great service. However, I recently had a strange experience. We arrived at 1:15 for lunch--on the LUNCH board menu, they listed stuffed rockfish-great--I ordered. The server asked me what sides I wanted so I ordered 2 sides. The bill came and the price of the rockfish went from $12.99 (on lunch board) to $19.99-$7/difference. When I questioned the server, he said "Well you ordered the dinner portion"--What?--Apparently, because I had 2 sides. The 2 sides were offered to me---Why would I order a dinner portion when I was there at lunch? It seemed odd. I decided not to fight the issue--tough times for restaurants --I figured this would be a donation-However, watch when you order at lunch to verify that this is the lunch option. read more
