Roman's Kitchen

When I have the money, I head to Roman's for lunch. I actually worked in that food truck before it was Romans. I typically order a cheesburger or a Philly cheese. Today I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and fries. I shared the fries with coworkers and they raved about them. The best fresh fry in Arcata, one said. The right amount of fresh and crispy. The grilled cheese and ham was perfectly toasted and delicious. The prices are a tad high, but the food will leave you satisfied.

Maybe shrink menu and focus more on each recipie. The slaw was literally just cabbage in a watery tasteless white liquid. Not sweet not tangy. No carrots. Just limp sad wet cabbage. And the sandwich I had dripped grease. I've been trying this place for 4 years now and everytime I walk away disappointed and angry.

Roman’s Kitchen is pretty good for a food truck. The beef in the burgers is local and natural. This point is appreciated; however, slightly overcooked and dry. The buns are tasty brioche. I liked the spicy Mayo dipping sauce for onion rings deep fried mozzarella sticks and French fries. Quite tasty.

Let me be honest, I hadn't heard anything about Roman's Kitchen, but they've only recently opened up, so that's understandable. Some of my coworkers mentioned getting burgers from this new place in Arcata. I was both skeptical and content at same time and agreed. The burger was simple with a side of fries. I must say, the cooks did a solid for me that afternoon. The bun had good taste and texture; the burger which came with bacon, cheddar cheese, and Sriracha mayo with side of fries. Fries were crispy even after the 15 minute drive back to work. I enjoyed the simplicity that I wanted to give it a try, and I did, hence the Mushroom Provolone Burger and added bacon to it with side of Onion rings. The price is reasonable depending on your burger building desires. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection and so was the onion rings. I mean the batter used is what I'm getting at, for those of you who know. If not, totally fine as well, go check them out in Arcata, cross the street from Cal-Poly Humboldt and 14th St.
