The burger bar is laid out the way I would like a burger bar to be. It is located on trendy 1873 West 4th. The restaurant had open windows for people watching while diners enjoy their food. We were seated at a cozy round booth. My best gal even made a comment that she could fall asleep in there.

| A yummy side of fries to start |
Now lets get in to the niddy griddy. Can I just say OH TO THE EM GEE! These burgers are amazing! All four of us were talking about these burgers even hours after leaving the restaurant. There was a lot of selections from their menu but this is a burger bar after all. The kitchen really knows how to sex up their burgers because they taste fabulous and amazing. Oh, they also offer different selections of bread. You can choose from brioche, something nice and buttery, skinny bread almost like a flat bread, and they also offer something gluten free and a "make it green" option which is just a lettuce for buns I believe.

| Wicked Deadly Cheeseburger |
I was craving for something cheesy but I didn't want to feel completely bloated and full. I ordered the wicked Deadly Cheeseburger ($11) with a veggie patty, which is made up of soy and chopped up mushrooms. I was worried about the veggie patty since it was made up of mushrooms and I've had a not-so-good previous experience with veggie patties. But at Romer's, oh yum! The veggie patty, made of soy and mushroom, looked and tasted like a beef patty. It was served with five cheeses and I couldn't make out exactly all five but they melted so nicely with the patty. There was a hint of Russian tarragon sauce, it was a nice moisture to the bun and the patty. They also added a few touches of red onions that added an extra sweet aromatic zing in there.

| Magic Mushroom Burger |
My bestie ordered the Magic Mushroom Burger ($11) also with a skinny bun. Served with a beef patty decked out with portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, baby arugula and herb garlic boursin. She liked that it was served on a skinny bun because the burger itself was pretty filling already. There was a fresh taste from the portobelllo that gave a nice earthy organic tone to the beef. She had absolutely no criticism to this burger because it was just that amazing.
Myself and gal pal thought the skinny bun didn't look very appetizing but it was far from it. Very soft and fluffy. Since Romars doesn't serve sides with the burgers we need to order them on the side. Myself and bestie shared the big sized fries ($4) with chipotle sauce. We both thought it was a little spicy but she can handle heat a lot better than I can. We both agree that the fries tasted very unique and different from other fries we get. We can't quite put out finger on it but it was delicious. But one word to describe them is soft, because indeed they were.

| Romer's Righteous Burger |
Michael got the Romer's Righteous Burger ($12) served on a beef patty, bacon, brasied short rib, gorgonzola sauce, and fresh thyme, along with amber ale cheddar on a brioche. He also added Tuscan greens ($4) on the side. Michael's first bite in to this was "Wow, now THIS is a gourmet burger." He thought the burger was super juicy and loved the extra added amber ale cheddar on top. There were nice, thick slices of bacon in his sandwich and since he wasn't feeling fries, he really enjoyed how refreshing the side greens were.

| Man's Man Burger |
As for Michael's friend, he ordered the Man's Man burger ($12) that claims to be the "best damn burger to ever hit your lips." Well, let's have the diner be the judge of that. Michael's friend also ordered the Little Wedge ($4.50), which was wedged lettuce with Applewood bacon and chopped up eggs. The burger was dressed up with amber ale cheddar, onions strings, smoked alder salt, mustard and tomatoes on a brioche bun. The salad was served as sliced wedge of a ball of lettuce, he thought the wedged salad tasted really fresh. As for his manly burger, it was just pure goodness. He thought maybe it was so wonderfully delicious because of the special brioche bun. It definitely was no ordinary hamburger bun you get at a grocery store. The meat was spot on goodness. Filled with juices and freshness.
I am so glad we came here for lunch. It's a casual, fun place but the cooks really know how to deck out their wonderful amazing burgers. It was such a challenge to get through this post because I got hungry just thinking about these magical burgers. Since our last burger experience was a mighty fail, Romer's was such better delicious compensation. It's like they have their burgers down to the science, and whether you're a carnivore, herbivore, or a real health nut, they have something suitable for everyone. Michael and I simply can't wait to come back to eat more burgers! Just pure nom nom nom to the max.
