Roam Artisan Burgers

Came here for lunch and left with mixed feelings. I had the seasonal mango chicken burger and a soup. the soup was the highlight: creamy, flavorful, and well seasoned. The burger, on the other hand, was disappointing. Despite having plenty of ingredients, it lacked flavor and felt below average overall. The place is spacious with lots of seating, so finding a table isn’t an issue. Just wish the food matched the potential of the space.

Normally I am not one to leave a review but since I am a tourist from Southern Cali, this is well deserve… two words , EAT HERE. The service is phenomenal, atmosphere was lovely, and the food is FRESH and HOT. Thank you to the wonderful lady who assisted us with our order as she helped a booming amount of customers and pushed out several to-go orders. She was smiling throughout and extremely courteous! The Springtime Burger is DELICIOUS. When I am back in SF, I will be sure to visit. I’m glad the reviews I read lived up to the hype. 10/10 and worth your money. Take a visit 💓

Roam is a solid and consistent spot for burgers, has the mom and pop creativity with the corporate consistency. I will always praise their zucchini fries, as they are literally addictive. Always delicious and cleanly presented. I do enjoy that they have their seasonal menus come and go, as you don’t see that too often in burger joints. Counter service makes it nice and relaxed and for the whole family or a solo meal. As this is not a hidden gem, you know what youre gonna get here.

I LOVE ROAM BURGER!! As a vegetarian, this is my absolute favorite burger place. They have such creative burgers and their veggie patty is delicious -- hearty yet still true to being plant-forward rather than a meat substitute. Also their zucchini onion haystack fries are my favorite fries in the world (I get them with truffle parmesan). Their seasonal menu is also always delicious! I'd highly recommend this place for anyone who hasn't been!

Absolutely amazing burgers! Easily one of the best I have ever had! I got the springtime burger and the chimichurri was perfectly balanced with the cheese, aioli, and spring greens. The burger had an excellent crunch, tons of delicious juices dripping out, and excellent beef. No notes 10/10

This place has awesome burgers! They don't skimp on the toppings or the patty size. Plus, the prices are totally fair for what you get. The staff were super nice and helpful too. Our food came out crazy fast, which was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good burger. I'll be back for sure! So good!

Stopped on a whim for a late lunch. Sat at the bar. Beautiful, wide marble (?) counter. Sat for almost 10 minutes while staff chatted amongst themselves and brought random orders out of the kitchen. Had to go to the register to order. After lunch arrived, had to wait another 5+ minutes to ask for utensils while more chatter took place while making what looked like base for chocolate shakes. Got the Tavern burger, russet fries, and a root beer. Burger was pretty good. The fries are some of the best you'll find in town. The fries are good enough to go back for all by themselves. I watched what looked like a deconstructed s'mores dessert get hand made and looked amazing. Kitchen torches are for more than Creme Brule!

Went to San Francisco today and spend most of our afternoon there. Was craving burgers so ended up at Roam Artisan Burger. Ordered the Bison Burger with cheddar cheese, spicy chicken strips, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potato fries. First off, the spicy chicken strips—while scrumptious—were a tad on the expensive side for just three pieces. $4 per piece? Come on, man! But I must say, each bite was bursting with flavor,, and they were definitely a treat. The Bison Burger itself was delicious, with the cheddar cheese adding a nice touch. However, the patty was on the smaller side; I think a half-pound patty would do better justice to the price. One of the highlights was the Brussels sprouts. They were amazing with their mix of toasted sesame oil, lime, cilantro, garlic, and red Fresno chiles—it was a refreshing twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. The sweet potato fries were also a hit, providing a lovely balance of sweet and savory flavors. On a brighter note, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more pleasant. All in all, while the food was delightful and the service was stellar, the portion sizes and pricing left something to be desired in terms of value for money.

My wife told me she had a nice experience at Roam and she wanted to return and show me this restaurant. You place your order and pay with the cashier and then grab a table I tried special Springtime Burger with chimichurri sauce and mozzarella. It was delicious. The Brussel sprouts were also the best in the city. We will definitely be back :)

They have the best best cola ever! All natural with ingredients everyone can pronounce. Limited wine selection but pairs well with the burgers! Service is good everytime! $65 for two sides and two burgers

This is a pretty great place to get a quick fast food type of meal that is about one step up from in and out. There's a basic menu with just the right amount of items. You can get different burgers as well as different sides. They also have seasonal menu with big fresh salads. There a beer and shake menu. The turkey burger is average thin turkey. The farmer fresh salad is yummy but lacking flavors and seasoning. It's pretty and delicious however I would have loved some crunch or seasoning. It's definitely something to share because it's large.

We had an excellent weekday dinner here. Walked in to a bright and clean area with an easy to read and detailed menu. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and choices on the menu are abundant! It's hard to find good restraunts that have options for both meat eaters and vegans, but Roam delivered. They have several vegan options including a vegan bacon cheeseburger that was excellent. It's a house made veggie patty that was very tasty. The real I highlight though were the fries! I would go back again just for the fries. The regular burgers were also a hit with the family members that eat them. Our food also came out very quickly. Highly recommend a visit to Roam.

Ate here during Union Street Fair. Parking looks like off street and enters. Service was okay with many fair goers entering. Order your items, pay up, get a number to sit unless you take to go. Burgers were good, better than fast food Boylan soft drinks served not big name coke or Pepsi. Overall, I would say this is 3 out or 5 stars.

Great burger spot with lots of different styles of burgers and toppings as well as meat selection ranging from veggie, beef, turkey, and bison. So many creative different types of burgers to please everyone. It is a little pricey for a burger though. They have outdoor seating as well as a bunch of milkshake options for those sunny days.

This place was busier than normal today, the staff were moving fast to serve the customers. Friendly and efficient staff. This is my favorite burger place in San Francisco, consistently great food,

The tejano burger is delicious. I also love the sweet potato fries when they are extra crispy. They have the fancy ketchup, not the Heinz so just FYI. My favorite part of Roam is the rewards program, the app has a ton of freebies and giveaways!

We come here all the time. Quite pricey but it's easy and tasty. I like supporting my local spots. Sometimes I just pop in for a beer and a break. I love the farmers salad with the turkey patties. Honestly it's the best salad on the street. Always very fresh and seasonal.

We were having a "wandering about town" day, and walked up and down Union Street looking for an early dinner choice. This proved to be a challenge because no place really had good vegan options for my wife except for stuff like salads, guac, or pasta. That is, until we got to Roam. Roam has an excellent vegan burger that features a homemade patty of veggies... no Impossible Beef here. We also had the delicious sweet and hot brussels sprouts. My Swiss Chalet burger was excellent... free range beef, cooked just right, adding the carmelized onions was a good touch. And the pilsner on tap was excellent too. It's expensive for a burger place, but everything is these days. It's not expensive for having dinner on Union Street!

Delicious burgers and good seating space. Service could have been slightly better with employees greeting the customers

no I really couldn't hesitate to make a review . I tried not to but this is really ridiculous. I got the Brussels sprouts, delicious btw , I would definitely want to come back and get these my complain is the portion size should be illegal . like for the price they could have gave more . the picture of the Brussels spouts is a screenshot from a TikTok I was trying to make but I couldn't even do the video . they have this huge bowl for them and they don't even fill the bottom . legitimately . it's like a sample size not even appetizer then the spicy chicken strips !!! I think they gave me burnt ones . very hard to bite they smelled weird. the sauce was already curdled which like why would it curfor? it had no taste , I would have ate them but it was so over cooked I couldn't even bite and the burnt smell was just getting worst so I have to just throw away . $12 for 3 and couldn't eat 1 . Whole meal $24

Food: 4 Decor: 3 Service: 3 Came here for dinner. FRENCH N' FRIES, 15.5 Truffle Parmesan Fries, Brie, Avocado, Caramelized Onions, Greens, Worcestershire Sauce, Stone Ground Mustard ~4/5. Overall pretty tasty, and the meat was nice and juicy. Think it would have been better with some tomatoes and greens added. ZUCCHINI ONION HAYSTACK, 5.5 ~3/5. Tasted okay, although a tad bit oily. Probably would have preferred the russet fries, but the onion haystack seemed unique.

ONE MORE IMPROVEMENT NEEDED. We have been coming here off & on for years and have always enjoyed the tasty burgers and sides, friendly service and reasonable prices. And now the redone decor provides an even better ambiance. But the lack of hot drinks has always deterred us a bit. So if hot coffee and tea selection were added to the menu we would increase our patronage. Thanks for being in our neighborhood!

My younger niece thinks it's random that I will drive and bus all over the city to go to very specific restaurants, especially ones I haven't tried before. When my brother and his partner were out of town for a few days last year, I took his teenage kids out to dinner so that they would have some non-screen time and/or actually acknowledge each other. My nephew only came with us to Roam; my niece ate out with me all three nights. Having recently gotten his license, my nephew was more interested in learning the geographic relationship that Union Street has to the Marina and the rest of San Francisco over the crest of Pacific Heights. I also let him drive, so he was parallel parking--very well for a beginner too--and nervous as all heck. When I realized we had parked three blocks farther away than I thought, she was annoyed, but he was excited. OK, enough about my brother's kids. You want to know about the burgers. My nephew and I both had the veggie burger. Mine was BBQ style; his was French n' fries, I believe. Mine was so good. I don't know what they put in the barbecue sauce, but it is unique. Messy as all hell, but unique. My niece ordered a hamburger, but I don't remember which style she got. The fries were very good. I believe we had to wait a few extra minutes because they were just making a new batch of fries, and those minutes were definitely worth the added crispiness. The catsup is also delicious and different. The interior is small but doesn't feel cramped. It's a comfortable place to eat, although I can imagine if it's busy that it gets very loud with all the hard surfaces. Neither of them was wowed by the place, and on our way back to the car, my niece reminded me that my restaurant-seeking weirdness. Since that first visit, I've had Roam to go on two occasions. First, it was a gathering in Golden Gate Park. My friend knew I was vegetarian, so she ordered for me. I actually didn't know where they had gotten the food from until we started eating. I had the veggie burger again, but I don't know what style it was, so I'm assuming it was the classic. I definitely would have preferred BBQ, but that really would have been a mess. I also shared some of another friend's salad, which was pretty bland. My second to-go experience was a milkshake for a lazy walk on Marina Green. It's pretty hard to make a bad milkshake, so the bar is pretty low, but Roam really kills it in the milkshake-making department as well. To review: excellent veggie burgers, barbecue sauce, catsup, fries, and milkshakes; mediocre salads. Give it a try or three after having had it bookmarked for more than a decade. I know I did!

Service was a bit mixed to start. We had a cashier that wasn't very attentive but then had a super nice and patient cashier that took our order. I like the fact that we had hamburgers patty choices. I had the fry-fecta, French n' fries burger, and salted caramel shake. Everything tasted good and would order again. Fries were a bit over salted but cooked just right. Would like to come back and try other burgers and

Went to the new location in Corte Madera last night. The place was packed and the line was out the door, with six or seven customers ahead of us. Unfortunately only one staff member was taking orders and it took 25 minutes to get to him. I noticed it was taking quite some time for patrons to complete their orders, which made the process even slower. For example, the couple ahead of me took a full 5+ minutes to complete their order. Perhaps this is because the Corte Madera location is new and they're still working out the kinks, but the wait to place an order is, at this point, ridiculous. I finally ordered, got my number and took a seat first what I was told would be a 15 minute wait. No problem. A few minutes passed and my iced tea showed-up. A few minutes later a small bowl of French fries was delivered to our table. We munched on the fries, thinking our meals would be coming faster than expected. We were wrong. By the time our meals arrived, the iced tea was gone and the few fries left in the bowl were cold. Again, this may be the result of the restaurant being new, but it was disappointing. Fortunately I could get a refill of the iced tea, but I had to ask for it and get it from a staff member behind the counter. Our meals finally came and I'd rate their beef "classic" burger as just ok ... a solid C+. My wife liked the veggie plate she ordered, but felt it was way overpriced. Overall we weren't that impressed. We have many options for hamburgers, etc., here in Marin, including places with fairly expansive menus that offer many non-burger options. The Town Center even had another burger restaurant (The Counter) that closed some time ago. It will be interesting to see how Roam Artisan Burgers fares, long term, in this seemingly highly competitive market. As for us, we'll stick with Gott's for this type of dining experience.

Sides and drinks start off at a few dollars while burgers are in the $10-$20 range.

hands down the best veggie burger I have ever had. Fresh cut fries.... Dill ranch, amazing chicken strips.....

I've ordered from Roam since they first opened on Fillmore, and since from the other locations. Today I got a RAW burger when I requested the 'little pink' option when ordering for delivery. The tiniest bit of the outside had been cooked but the whole middle of the burger was UNCOOKED. So not okay. Now I'm just praying I don't get food poisoning. Y'all need to train your cooks what 'cooked' means, medium rare...or not.

Delicious custom bison burgers, fresh buns and organic milkshakes with toasted marshmallow tops

Roam will definitely be a solid burger place in the area. With a great selection of burgers and appetizers, what's not to like about this place? I've been here a good number of times already and it's for sure worth the trip trying out. When you order your burger, you also get to choose how well done you want your burger patty to be. I'm a sucker for eggs, and lowkey on a carb diet, so I decided to get the Sunnyside Burger with a butter lettuce wrap. The egg was ooey gooey, perfectly cooked. It was runny and it added so much texture to my burger. I normally usually get this one and if you love eggs, definitely order this one! This burger contains aged white cheddar, caramelized onions, greens, tomatoes, and their chili sauce. The chili sauce was definitely a surprise, but it worked! The Classic Burger is composed of, butter lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and their house sauce. I felt like I needed to add an extra mmph to it so I added avocado as well. The last thing was the Fry-Fecta! A composition of 3 fries: Zucchini, Sweet Potato, and of course the normal fries. What a great combination! And everything was seasoned very nicely. I really recommend giving this place a try. It's a pretty good burger restaurant and I'm positive you won't be disappointed.

We've been loyal Roam fans for a long time now (both this location and the location on Fillmore). Roam is just the best. Some of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. I consistently get the French and fries and it's phenomenal. Truffle flies are also delicious. Vibes of the restaurant are very fun with a more low key bar feel and the service is always great.

Food is good!! I got the Pacific blue and Tejano burger. The zucchini and Parmesan fries are a great pair. I also love that it's grass fed. But wait time is not so great especially if you're on a lunch break.

Overall a pretty solid place for a casual sit down lunch that won't break the bank. The burger was probably the highlight of the meal, with the zucchini haystack and chicken tenders falling a bit short. The Tejano burger was delicious, especially with the fresh avocado and chips inside! You order at the counter, grab a number, and self serve water/utensils. The inside is spacious and clean!

A classic burger spot in the area. These are more of "upscale" burgers in terms of price but the taste is also great. I personally love their shakes- all of their flavors are great and the fries are some of the best (though pricey). Definitely recommend for your burger fix.

Burgers are $15 each and don't come with fries. Additional $5 for fries and they only have Italian and cane cola soda. I ordered a 12 oz Tahitian Vanilla Bean Milkshake, which was $9. I was highly disappointed when I saw them blend together some vanilla soft serve with some milk and that was my "vanilla bean" milkshake. It tasted exactly like a McDonalds ice cream and there was no vanilla bean present. INSANE to charge $9 for it. I ordered the seasonal burger and it was the most unsatisfying $15 burger i've ever had. EXTREMELY greasy to the point I had to use a napkin to wipe up the grease. I took one bite and it tasted like straight garlic from the garlic aioli. Totally overpowering. I was only able to take one bite before I boxed it up. The fries were hard and under seasoned, leaving them with that sour potato flavor. The restaurant is beautiful but I spent $93 to feed 3 people (three burgers, two fries, and 3 drinks). I wouldn't recommend coming here.

They have too many DoorDash orders so they can't really service customers in the place. This is not a comment for the staff - it's for the owners. I waited an hour for a burger at the bar, never served water. Impossible to get anyone's attention. And to be clear the staff was CRANKING like running to get food to the DoorDash orders. Owners... just close the restaurant and make this a to go spot.

***5-star destination for meat eaters*** Roam is an artisan burger "it" destination. From truffled fries, caramelized onion and brie burger combo to sunny side egg and tomato toppings - this burger joint has something for everyone except vegetarians. * Meat selection: Turkey, bison, beef. * Ingredients: organic, including farm fresh eggs and burger buns. I am giving it (2) stars because the vegetarian patty they offer is a beet colored quinoa looking tasteless mess. I tried the veggie burger in 2-3 combinations, none of them "hit the vegetarian spot". I wish they offered meat substitute options, the vegetarian burger is a 2-star burger (regardless of toppings).

I got a cheeseburger here recently. It was pretty good. I liked the fried zucchini.

Chicken tenders (comes with 3) was light yet satisfying! The batter was thin so don't expect your typical super crispy chicken tenders. I like that it didn't taste heavy or oily afterwards. The homemade hot sauce was pretty spicy so fair warning! The homemade ranch was my favorite! The biggest con was the high price for only 3 pieces. I probably wouldn't order the chicken tenders again but I'd come back to try their burgers and fries!

We always love Roam when we want a consistently solid burger and fries. Their quality of ingredients and flavors are fresh. Service is always excellent. I love the option to customize your burger in a million different ways. Plenty of indoor and also outdoor seating.

Really good burgers!!! Me and my friends all loved our picks. Would come back again! Next time I'd just share my fries with someone. Bonus: The staff was very friendly and our food was prepared very quickly.

amazing place. Farm to table, organic, artisan, allergy friendly, and super creative. so hard to find a burger place like this and so glad there's one in Corte Madera now!

Excellent burger but woah, definitely pricy for a counter service location! They have an excellent selection of burgers and fries

Seriously good burger, seriously good truffle fries& sweet potato fries... def would come back. Also sat outside in our own little street booth with a heated lamp. Super dope aesthetic&atmosphere.

I came in to Roam at the recommendation of a person at a different business. It was a very hot day in October in San Francisco, and I wanted a lemonade or something else refreshing. Well, I am so glad I came here! Got a burger and one to go for a person at home, a Meyer lemonade, and a little bit of nice conversation with staff as they did their jobs. There are activity pamphlets and crayons for kids. The music choice was spot on, too. I'm recommending this place to friends. I hope to come back.

Stick to the burgers! The burgers are excellent! Today I decided to branch out and get something different. I opted for the chicken strips and a side of carrots. And cucumber. Super disappointed. Very small $18 meal. I am still hungry! The strips taste good, but are tiny and only comes with 3 for a $16 price tag. They cam with one sauce so got honey mustard. Also added a side of bbq sauce for 1.14. The sauce container was only half full. Looked like someone had already ate it. Super disappointing and expensive.

Came to this area to try another restaurant that turned out to be closed... it worked out because we stumbled on this cute little gem! It was close to closing time but the service was great! The shakes, burgers, and fries were slamming! I recommend it!

Yum! I loved that I was able to get a gluten free and dairy free burger option here! It was so flavorful! I'll be back!

Fast service, delicious burgers and fries! Would definitely come here again. If you're in the SF area, check this place out.

Food is great. The rewards system is weird though. I had a free mini market salad to redeem and I wasn't able to redeem it if I got it with another item. I asked the cashier if I could do separate purchases and he said no. Bit disappointed that I can't do that.

One of my go to burger spots In the city. It's always fast no matter how busy they are. It's a cute little sit down spot or you can order to go and it's just as dank. I recommend the truffle seasoning on the plain fries or the sweet potato. The zucchini onion bay stack is my fave though! Chocolate shake is the best choc shake I've had in a long time. It is quite pricey so I recommend sharing fries/ sides with friends !

Got the sunny side up burger with the bison patty. Standard burger, good vibe. Service was good, not many people there when I went so got the food quickly. Little bit pricey for what it is which is why I won't give 5 stars but a solid spot.

Came at 9:06pm and they are closed. Meanwhile their sign says 10pm daily. Worker just stared at us instead of talking to us. Waste of time

Burger was so delicious. Everything was fresh. Staff was friendly and helpful. I signed up for the rewards and got a side of fries for free. Would definitely come back.

Burgers are tasty, but extremely overpriced. $36 for a double burger and beer. They include a 6% hidden fee (literally in type so small on the menu it's barely readable, let alone noticeable). Just raise your prices if you must, but don't use scammy bait and switch tactics. Won't be coming back.

And we're back! Came in for an early dinner and again were not disappointed. We got lucky and were the first in what became a line of folks. Classic burger and heritage with zucchini onion stack and a milkshake. Food delivered quickly was tasty and delicious. Don't do the onion stack if you can't take salt though. It was a cup full of crunchy goodness, more zucchini than onion. Love that spiralized cut and I'm still baffled by how they were so crunchy without being at greasy. Being Halloween weekend, there was a pub crawl going on, so dinner and a show! The joint definitely got busier but I noticed the food was still coming out at a good pace. Very friendly server too. Points all the way around

great vegan burger!! great service, ambiance. Even a good GF bun. Everyone at our table of six (some beef eaters and chicken etc) was impressed!! Will go again tomorrow!
