Stars Hamburgers - Arcata

This restaurant probably serves the best burgers in the area and easily ranks in the top five! You definitely won’t be disappointed with the fantastic burgers offered here. It's been in business for many years, and they certainly know what they’re doing. If you’re in a hurry, you can place your order ahead of time and arrive just as it’s ready.

Without a doubt, the best burgers and shakes I've ever had, along with fantastic service. The freshness and flavor are outstanding. I visited recently and noticed how much the employees care about the food. They have special shake options that change daily or weekly. I decided to order one and asked if they could customize it. I was a bit hesitant to ask for a special addition, but the young lady smiled and went above and beyond. After I tried it, she checked in to see how I liked it. I told her it was great, and she responded, "Glad to hear that, I love making them!" Go Starz!

I tried the double burger, and it was really good—I would definitely go back. However, it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. I was a bit disappointed with the small portion of onion rings I received; it’s tough to give a full 5 stars when I leave a restaurant still feeling hungry. Are onions really that pricey? Anyway, it's probably the best burger you'll find in this little town.

We had the Bacon Cheeseburger with Guacamole and a side of Chili Cheese Frys. This spot was quick with our order and the food was tasty. You can't go wrong with this little burger place.

It's farm fresh, tasty, and cooked to order. The staff is friendly. There's parking options in the back for about 10-12 cars. They could benefit from a new point of sale system that accepts Google and Apple pay. A meal here will cost you about 15 bucks a person; 10 per person in you share fries and a shake/drink.
