Really good burgers, onion rings and shakes. We were in the area for a college tour and the tour guide at Humboldt State told us that the creator of SpongeBob went to college there. He apparently based some of the show on businesses in the...Read More

Stars is a Arcata and Humboldt classic. Good standard burgers. Not one of those places trying to serve enormous ones you can't fit into your mouth. Good grass fed local beer. Love this burger joint. This is where all the university students come to and has...Read More

This is a popular spot. The veggie Ortega burger was delicious, we also tried onion rings and cookie dough milkshake. We had a great lunch on their front porch in the sun.

Cute little burger place. I tried the fish and chips and it was fantastic. The fries could use some salt but the fish was the perfect texture and super good. Nice workers and good atmosphere, if a bit crowded in such a small space.

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.

A neat little hamburger joint with many options for fillings. The meat patty and vegetarian patty are both just as tasty as the other. The fries are nice too. You can get a basket for an affordable price. The vibe is very classic and family...Read More

The food was so good! The milkshakes are to die for! The service was fast, kind and easy. I’m not a huge fan of mustard but I got it on the BBQ burger anyways and I still thought it was delicious.

Great food and restaurant. Some of the best burgers we’ve had. Highly recommend. Too bad it’s in a dive of a city. Arcata is rough at best. Had a drugged up homeless guy outside the restaurant talking loudly to no one.
