Reviews for The Burger Joint in Arcata, CA
This was a great place to stop and get a high quality burger, usually has fast service and good service but since the pandemic... it seems to have gone down hill, took close to an hour for 2 burgers when the place was almost empty. One was overcooked, cold,and lacking in mushrooms compared to previous visits, the other was ok but didn't have much sauce. Sweet potato fries were wellseasoned and cooked perfectly. But overall recent visits haven't been great. Read more
The burger was very tasty. The sweet potato fries were not as excellent as I expected based on the reviews, which is a shame... because I would kill for a good sweet potato fry, but they were decent. The restaurant was very busy, so unless I just gotunlucky with my timing, expect a wait. It was also fairly expensive, but not astronomical, and I was still happy with the meal. Read more
Tried them again after a couple years remembering they were decent. Only thing decent this time was the service. Food had to be... thrown away it was so overcooked. First time I spit out an onion ring. I gave it the benefit of the doubt as it was put on thecounter by the cooks and bagged by the cashier. Two people working there must have thought it was edible but they were wrong.The burgers had good ingredients but they were cooked into hockey pucks. Save your money and do not go. Read more
Delicious burger and sweet potatoe fries. My meal was excellent although they always seem a little understaffed and my friends... onion rings were burned. Read more
I got so excited when I saw this place does burger bowls. I ordered the juicy Lucy as a bowl, my lady a gluten free build your... own and a side of fried pickles. $51 not including tip. OK I get it. Super good burger MIGHT make that price reasonable?Somehow? We went and got our food and were so disappointed. My burger was super dry. Fried egg was way over cooked and the saladwas bad. Like literally they used old, flat yellow lettuce. My girlfriend had a very similar experience of super dry meat andeverything else being underwhelming. I usually give most places a couple of tries before leaving a review, but since it feelslike I already paid for a few I figured write it out now. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would go hereinstead of APD or stars besides being fooled by the name. If you want to feel ripped off and still hungry, this is the place foryou!

Great veggie burger. This place has so many options and they are all so good. Home made sweet potato fries are ????
One of the best outdoor eating locations in Arcata. That's not to say they don't have wonderful indoor dining as well they have... high ceilings and really good ventilation. Definitely during the pandemic this is an amazing place to eat and feel verycomfortable. The burgers are amazing whether you pick chicken veggie or beef. Definitely try their fries and they have anamazing selection of beers, ciders and wine. Head out to the back area and play some cornhole and sit under one of manypergolas. Excellent spot. Read more
I had a ?build your own? burger(habanero cheese, Jalapeños peppers, onions and pickles), loaded cheese fries and for desert the... special Orange creamsicle shake. My boys had different burgers too. All were cooked just right, juicy and tasty. The beef isadvertised as grass fed. My son had the corn dog and mentioned it was tasty too. The only point to be slightly negative are theexhaust over the grill was not expelling the smoke from the grill fast enough. The restaurant smelled too strongly of cookedburgers, so did my clothes when I got home. I admit that for three people and $100, it was a tad expensive for burgers. Read more
