Reviews for Romer's Burger Bar in Vancouver, BC
I always find Romers (burgers) more average than I think it should be considering they specialize in burgers. They?re definitely... not as good as Bin 4. I found out today they have a secret kids menu the server can show you on their tablet. My daughter didn?tlike the chicken fingers because they had some spice/heat to them. The patio is great though and I didn?t know they had expandedit (see pic). Awesome view! Read more
I've given this place so many opportunities to not disappoint but it's just so not the one. The food takes forever and when it... comes it's hit or miss. The servers are the least attentive of any sit down restaurant I've been to in this city. Definitely notsomewhere you can go for multiple drinks because by the time you finish your first, the empty glass will be sitting there forthe next 20 mins. The strangest thing is that your waiter will walk by, see that your glass is empty and still not ask if youwant anything else. I would honestly drop mad dough on this place if they'd let me order more than 1 drink in a sitting. Iwasn't going to say anything but today I had just the most awful brunch you could imagine and it was the last straw. I got aBenny that was so depressing to both look at and eat I found myself wishing I was at McDonald's instead. Yes, the photo is howit came. It seems like the owner is just banking on a it being the only craft style restaurant in the neighborhood so they don'tput any effort into the quality. Staff don't seem like they want to be there so obviously it rubs off on the customer'sexperience. So sad because the potential is there. :( Read more
It was a nice atmosphere, service was kind. The food was around average. My burger patty in particular was very charred - not... sure if that's just the style but made the meat rough for me to eat personally. The fries are crispy (which I do like). Alittle more on the pricey side but overall decent experience, would come again. Read more
Good burgers and bowls, as always. I REALLY wish they had never removed the jerk chicken burger, however! Great selection of... wine. Lovely ambience! Read more
I was out for a walk with a friend and my two kids when we came across Romer?s Burger Bar. It looked busy and we were all hungry... so we decided to stop by and put our names down on the wait list. I?m not sure if the host was high or not but he kept laughingand couldn?t even give an answer of approximately how long the wait was or any question for that matter. Any response wasgiggling and smirking. There were many people seated outside on the patio but when we asked to sit on the patio he said it wastoo cold because we had kids with us. (We were already outside for a walk and dressed appropriately) It ended up being about 45minutes so we went back inside and when the staff saw us we caught them looking at us and whispering. Obviously they weretalking about us probably not in a good way. When we were seated the service was slow but we were understanding because theplace was quite busy. We ordered a vegan-ator burger, tomato basil soup, parmesan onion rings and kids sliders with fries. Thevegan-ator burger and tomato basil soup were decent but the server never brought a spoon for the soup and was nowhere to befound. So we had to get up and look for a spoon ourselves. The onion rings were also okay but the kids sliders were plain withno sauces. (Any sauce was an extra cost) It was just a bun with a patty that was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside,which is not acceptable for kids. Eventually after 20 minutes went by, the server finally came to check on us. I let her knowthat the sliders were inedible. She offered to replace them with new ones but everybody was already done their food and wereready to go. What?s the point of going to a restaurant when you aren?t being served? Might as well eat at home. Overall the foodwasn?t too bad but the service was extremely unorganized and unprofessional. My kids were still hungry when we got home! It?s ashame we won?t be coming back here because we live very close and pass by this restaurant for walks often. Read more
Tried out the dine out Vancouver menu. The Nashville hot wings were really good, perfectly cooked chicken wing, great dry spice... rub, just needs a touch of more salt. But the hot sauce combined with ranch was amazing. Their cauliflower wings weren?t bad butagain the sauce was amazing. The burger was okay, patty was a bit dry but over all was pretty tasty when I added extra sauce.The berry cobbler was incredible. The berries were not overly sweet, the tartness balanced the flavour of the sweet vanilla icecream. The drunken donuts were also very very good. Tasted like fresh mini donuts from PNE but the true star was the KahluaNutella chocolate sauce. Normally Nutella is very very sweet on its own but the sourness of the Kahlua liqueur balanced out theflavours and you get a nice toffee, chocolate blend. I also drizzled the chocolate sauce on top of my vanilla ice cream to addanother layer of flavour. Would definitely return for the dessert. Read more
We went there with friends on Remembrance Day ( they open at 11 instead of 10 that day). Covered patio seating area with outside... fireplace was great choice. You can sea water from their. It?s nice location. Menu items was a good variety but brunch is onlyat weekends. Staff were friendly and service was nice. Food amounts was reasonable and tasty. Read more
Wow their menu has changed and the quality just isn't the same as it used to be... I used to order from here a lot - my... favourite is to order their 10oz sirloin meal. Before they used to give you the sirloin with potatoes and brussel sprouts.Yesterday I ordered the 10oz and now it comes with mashed potatoes and some string beans... definitely not the quantity orquality from before... this is a hard pill to swallow for a $30 meal. I tried ordering something else, their fish tacos andtheir steak frites... those were also not at the level I remember... I likely won't be ordering from here anymore and tryingother places. Read more
