The wait is finally over as long-anticipated Roam Artisan Burgers opened its newest location in downtown Lafayette in La Fiesta Square yesterday. Knowing it would be packed I couldn’t resist and dropped by with my family last night to try their renown Heritage burger with “Applewood smoked bacon, Fontina, butter lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and herb mayo” and salted caramel milkshake and was thrilled to have found a delicious, cool and reasonably priced burger joint in the Lamorinda area. Not as fatty as other burgers I’ve had nearby, the toppings are some of the tastiest I’ve had, as was the bun which was outstanding as well. The shake was so addictingly good I would feel guilty for drinking but they offer a child size which saved me. Yum! They also offer a nice selection of craft brews and wine. Check out their menu here.
The inside design looks incredible with plenty of wood and warm lighting thanks to exposed bulb pendants. Note that you first place your order at the cashier, get a number and then sit down at a table, the bar or a really long communal table and your food and drinks will be brought directly to you. Roam Artisan Burgers is open everyday from 11:30 am – 10 pm.
