Romer’s is always a solid place to grab a good burger. They have some standard favourites and some interesting combinations/twists. I have never had a bad meal here. It’s not my favourite burger place but it is reliable and tasty.
Ordered for pick up and when I arrived the order hadn’t been placed. I was not offered anything in way of compensation. The hostess had a very poor attitude and I shant be coming back.
I think that we can all agree that knowing where to grab a good burger is key information to have. So when I saw Romer’s on You Gotta Eat Here! and read that they were voted as #1 Best Burger 2017 in The Georgia Straights Golden Plates annual poll, I obviously had to try them for myself. They have three locations in the Vancouver area and one of them is conveniently located right near me in Kitsilano. We hit them up on a Friday night and were quickly seated without a wait.The restaurant is fairly large, with locals and tourists alike huddled around tantalizing burgers. The space is fairly straight forward, with a polished look of shiny black tiles and wooden rafters that add a bit of a rustic feel. The booths are wrapped in cherry red and there are TVs all over the place. Its casual and comfortable. The servers are very kind and friendly, although I found things a little bit slow at times.They have plenty of drink specials including a happy hour and different deals for every day of the week. I was excited to see that bellinis are only $5 on Fridays and almost got one… Until I noticed that they also serve some really nice non-alcoholic drinks as well. I chose the Mango Mint Ice Tea (Mango puree, fresh mint, ice tea – $5.00) because sometimes Im just into something refreshing and good. And it was refreshing and good! All three elements in this drink came together really well, and I enjoyed that each ingredient was very obvious. I really appreciate when restaurants offer more than just pop on the non-alcoholic menu.The burgers here are not automatically served with fries, so if you want anything extra you need to order it. They have a large array of appetizers to choose from, as well as a section of various fries & rings. There are certainly a lot of choices on their large menu. We wanted to have some sort of fry situation and the Truffle Fries (Reggiano Parmesan – $8.95) seemed exactly like something that we would do. These certainly looked freakin fantastic, but the actual flavour left a bit to be desired. While the truffle aroma was blasting into our noses, the truffle flavour itself seemed to be a bit lost. The fries themselves were crispy and good, and cooked well. But unless you grabbed one that was heavily coated in seasoning, there wasnt very much going on for bold flavour. Which is what I had hoped for. Also, they served these fries with ketchup which seems like a silly missed opportunity. Why not a truffle aioli? In fact, their (somewhat confusing) menu even lists that they have truffle aioli which can be ordered for $1.45. How does this not automatically come with these fries?? Worried that that would be too much truffle? Because thats not a thing.Obviously I was here to eat a burger. Although if youre not in the mood for a burger, they have plenty of other things to choose from; from big salads, to hot bowls, to tacos or mac & cheese. But their thing is burgers and there are eleven different ones to choose from. They also boast that their ground beef is fresh and organic from the Blue Goose Cattle Company. They are very proud of this. The beef is sourced right here in beautiful British Columbia, south Cariboo region. Raised ethically and humanely on pastures of certified organic lands without the use of hormones or antibiotics and is Canadian Certified Organic. (Cant complain about any of that!) They serve this quality beef on their fresh brioche bun. Dont want a bun? You can have it on a lettuce bun instead. Dont want a hand-held situation at all? Turn your burger into a bowl. (Its a lot.) I was pretty torn with which burger to choose. The Chorizador or the Port & Stilton both sounded exactly like typical picks for me. But instead, I went with the Mans Man (Vine ripened tomatoes, maple smoked bacon, amber ale cheddar, crispy onion strings, smoked alder salts – $13.45) for something a bit more classic. I was totally craving a great straight-forward burg with nice salty bacon and with a good sharp cheddar. Plus I loves me some onion strings. It looked great when it arrived and I dug right in! I did enjoy the flavour of the beef patty, which tasted very fresh and was cooked well (not too overdone, either). The best thing was the deliciously buttery brioche bun, which was warm and melted in my mouth. But unfortunately I found everything else to be a bit lackluster with the flavours getting somewhat lost. These should have been bold ingredients, but they kinda fell flat. The onion strings were good, but could have used to be slightly crispier. The tomato was fine. The bacon was crispy and okay. The cheddar almost didnt exist. …And the smoked alder salts? I forgot that they were even supposed to be there. It was a decently alright burger, but probably not worth the title of best burger in all of the land. The pickle on the side was very good.I would probably return to try a different burger. (Plus they also do brunch.) But overall everything seemed pretty expensive and pretty underwhelming. They have the right pieces to create some pretty good burgers but I feel as if something is being lost in the execution. Not bad food, but not the best. erikaeatseverything.com
I had a terrible day today and finally gave my notice at work. I called up a pal of mine to have a beer later at night. We were in the kits area and decided to go to Romers.As we were seated the waitress noticed the hostess forgot to give us happy hour menus. Minus points for the hostess… But none the less we were excited to see 5 dollar beers and 10 dollar nachos! Our service was excellent from our server and when we asked for the bill, you get a complementary dessert when you fill out their survey, wow nice surprise! Even though I had a bad day, I must say, I really like their late night happy hour menu. Sometimes you really don’t want to stuff yourself before bed. This was perfect. Romers came through tonight and I felt a whole lot better.
I had some friends over today, and after an issue with my oven meant we couldn’t cook we decided to order food from Romer’s. Foodora did an excellent job getting the food to us within 30 minutes, however what we received was already soggy and unappetizing. Burgers were barely edible, onion rings seemed under cooked and had raw garlic on them, and poutine was nothing to write home about. Worst of all they forgot part of the order and we had to go out to get McDonald’s for one of my friends. Ironically, he enjoyed a better meal than any of us did. At upwards of 13 dollars a burger (just the burger, no sides) we definitely feel we overpaid. Not at all recommended.
We went here for my birthday and burgers were great! I had the mushroom and fries burger was juicy fries were hot. I also had the white wine sangria spritzer and a sampler of craft beer. The service was great! Kinda small restaurant but good food! I cant wait to try the marine drive location i heard its by the water. My one regret is that I didnt have enough room to try the doughnuts with chocolate dipping sauce! That means i have to go there again!
I visited Romer’s a few days back with my friend, and we both really liked the place.It was around 4 pm on a Monday, so faiiirly empty, great drinks, an excellent burger and our server was super attentive and helpful.Both of us had something from the daily specials, and I tried their special beer margarita too. At first I was skeptical, but let me tell you, now I’m SOLD. Beer and lime go strangely well together. We ordered the burger of the month, which sounded delicious from its description, but tasted even better. Something with bacon, tomatoes, lime aioli and brie cheese. Yum.I think if I were walking by that part of Kits, I would definitely go again. Especially for their beerita. Good stuff.
