    Roma's is such a quiet and peaceful restaurant with reasonably priced food and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoy going to Roma's regularly. Their menu covers just about anything you would like to eat from Seafood, Pasta, Subs, Sandwiches, Comfort Food, and Pizza etc. It is all fresh and delicious. They also offer a nice varied list of specials every day. You will not be disappointed here. Oh, I almost forgot to mention - this is a BYOB - no corkage fee.

    Got a soda and it had lettuce in it. I could have swore I saw a rat in the restaurant. Went outside and saw their refrigerators outside with a rat trap in front of it so I'm pretty sure I did see a rat. After the horrible soda I decided to try a milkshake. MISTAKE! Vanilla mike shake had mold in it. This place is disgusting. I get my car fixed at both jiffy lube and the precision tune and have been here a few times. It gets worse every time. Stay away. Service is sub par, mold and lettuce in my drinks. Also one time while I was at the jiffy lube I saw them buying Frits and vegetables off the back of a pick up truck. Looked like one of those fruit guys from the city selling a few day old fruit and veggies. I'll never eat here again! BEWARE!

    My family loves this place and have eaten there twice a month for the last several years. They order the pizza take out. We eat in for seafood. The business is locally owned and the owners are very nice. The interior is casual but the cream of crab soup, crab cakes and fish are delicious. 4 stars because of the decor. 5 stars for the food and because my parents and family love this place.

    Went for lunch....thinking it was going to be the average, over-priced pizza joint. I ordered a Cajun Chicken Sandwich and fries. I was amazed that for under $9, I received a HUGE sandwich with 2 chicken breasts (cooked to perfection) and a nicely sized order of fries that were also done just right. Very good bang for the buck and Very tasty! Good job Mr. Owner Guy!

    Great Pizza. We live in Cockeysville and have tried pizza from every place in the area. Roma's is our favorite. Sauce is great. Perfect t amount of cheese. Dough is fresh. Owners are super friendly.

    I've given this place a couple of chances because it is right around the corner. The first time, my kids and I went to get some ice cream because their sign says they have it. What the sign does not say is that the ice cream is not really a dairy product and it leaves a weird oily film in your mouth when you eat it. The owner seemed nice and he was hovering over our table asking if we were okay and we felt bad for not liking it so we ate it anyway. The next time was just the other day. I had a coupon so I figured I'd try their hot food, maybe it would be better than the ice cream. I ordered a chicken parmesan sub. The chicken was not breaded. In fact, I recognized the texture and shape of the chicken to be Tyson's ready to eat chicken strips, the kind you normally put in salad when you are at your house, not something you expect to find in a sub at an italian place. My aunt ordered a ham sandwich and she said it was okay, but frankly she said that Subway makes a better sub. All in all, this restaurant needs to seriously consider using higher quality ingredients. The cheapest isn't always the best. If they had been even slightly decent I'd probably go back a lot because its so close to my house, but as it stands I will go ahead and keep walking past Roma's Cafe to Little Tony's which is across the street and so much better.

    (08/05/2011) This one is in our usual rotation for dinner with the in-laws. It's a basic place, family-run, a little on the divey side (looks like it was formerly a pizzeria, checked tablecloths and checked vinyl tiles on the floor). Some things come out better than others, we're still trying to figure out what the pattern is. I like the broiled seafood platter (flounder, 3 shrimp, a couple of scallops broiled with a little butter and paprika) and the crab imperial -- big pearly white lumps of Venezuelan crabmeat in basically a mayonnaise, paprika, Old Bay concoction, better with a squirt of lemon. MIL is fond of the rainbow trout when it's on the menu. My husband likes the pizza and stromboli type things. Essentially, don't expect a whole lot of creativity or a whole lot of zip. Hmm, now that I've said all this, why do we still go there...it's cheap (a double crab cake dinner with 2 sides for less than $20?!), the food is fresh (well, most of it, things like desserts, salads and vegetables look like they're prepped in house, things like a chicken tender or breaded chicken cutlet are obviously frozen products), the family is nice (they're also the servers, so cut them a little slack, they're not pros). It really feels like a neighborhood kind of place, and they don't need to advertise that in a slogan.

    Roma's Cafe is a little hidden away in a corner of York Rd, but they are a very good. They have your standard type of American Traditional fair but they also have some house Greek specialities. I have gotten a number of different things from there and all have been very good. While nothing necessarily blows you away all the food is good. The Greek pizza is exceptionally well done and they also make a solid gyro and cheesesteak. If you are looking for a good place with good prices this is a great choice. I also wanted to mention that they have carry out and sit in dining. I would definitely recommend Roma's and hope they continue to do well in the area.

    The best shrimp salad on York Road! Seriously delicious large juicy shrimp perfectly spiced with just enough mayo to hold it together. I get it on a tossed salad with their house dressing on the side. They should bottle the house dressing it's so good. If you have room try a sweet treat like their baklava...melts in your mouth.

    Seriously great delivery! Always fast and prices are awesome. The baklava makes me want to weep tears of joy it's so good!! I feel like they take pride in the food & service every time I order, my soup is always wrapped up safe so it's never spilled and they never forget condiments, napkins, utensils etc.

    Food was okay, server was preoccupied by the annoying "Bachelor" TV show playing on the big screen, soft drinks and water running low - couldn't believe they didn't serve wine or beer. Probably why my order was messed up. Entrance as hideous as was the decor - just clean it up guys! Hidden discrete location off the main road - surprised they are still popular with all of the food choices. Yelp photos looked good, but they had way too large of a menu. Owners/servers looked unkempt - not appealing. Food was decent, but suspect of the kitchen view. Honestly Yelpers, I'd move on.

    Went for lunch the other day, and walking in towards the end of the traditional lunch hours I had the not uncommon thought of "how does this place stay in business." The lack of customers - only a single table was occupied - seemed to harken to the out-of-the-way location of the cafe, sandwiches between numerous auto service businesses. Despite the lack of customers, service wasn't exactly attentive. The gentleman I took to be the head honcho (and perhaps proprietor) helped me more than the young lady who appeared to be a waitress. In terms of food, I achieved my mission of satisfying my hankerin' for a gyro. It wasn't Greektown good, but still plenty tasty enough. Didn't really inspect the menu closely since I knew what I wanted, so I can't comment on that. Prices were fine. Will be back sometime to check out the cafe a bit more thoroughly.

    It was my first time there and I've been wanting a good chicken parmigiana sandwich like the ones I used to get when I lived in New York, so I decided to give this place a try. From the outside, this place looked like a nice restaurant, although in an unusual place, because it's behind I think a Jiffy Lube and a Meineke. Inside, all the tables were empty even though it was an early evening on a Friday, which was surprising. (Maybe they have a big lunch crowd.) The staff seemed friendly, but the place looked like it needed some help from Chef Ramsay. It looked very outdated. Getting back to the chicken parm I ordered to go. It came to $8.48 with fries, which I thought was expensive, but was hoping worth the price. Well, I was disappointed. I thought I was given the wrong order because I bit into chunks of chicken breasts with cheese and a little sauce, which was a little too salty I might add, instead of a breaded chicken cutlet; not to mention, the fries didn't taste fresh and had a weird taste or coating on them. I attempted to eat it, but I was so disappointed that I had to stop and call them so I could take it back. To make a long story short, the "chef" and the owner explained that my order was no mistake and that their chicken parm comes that way. However, the chicken parm with pasta is made with a breaded chicken cutlet. I have NEVER heard of it made any other way, nor have I ever had it that way. NEVER. The owner told me if I wanted breaded chicken, to ask for it next time, but the owner asked the "chef" to make me another sandwich. I also asked for fresh fries and the owner reluctantly agreed. Well, I was even more disappointed with the second one. It was saltier and it did not taste like a chicken cutlet. It tasted like pieces of chicken dipped in some sort of tempura batter. Suffice it to say, if I ever go there again, I won't be ordering whatever that was.

    Our first visit was a bit off-focus, as we did not realize this cafe was mainly Italian, which we had already had the prior 2 meals. So this will not evaluate that (yet), and only writing this for some early focusing to help others. The Good: Maryland Crab soup was very good with lots of crab meat (mostly claw but still chocked full). Garlic bread with cheese was excellent - worth the trip here! Salads were simple, but very fresh. The Bad: Fried Chicken! Are you kidding me? Same as the pieces you get in TV dinners, so I'm sure was precooked and frozen, tiny and barely edible (despite the waitress telling me the "fried chicken is very good" - not sure where she's been eating but I hope I never get there). I am so upset I forgot to take a picture - the wing and thigh were no larger than a matchbook cover. If anyone who works or owns this place is reading, please either delete this from the menu, or buy different chicken. I haven't been this embarrassed for a chicken since 1986 in a small diner in Berwick, Pa. Red Snapper special was fair at best, pretty tasteless beyond being salty. To be fair, though, since this is mostly Italian, we will return for that side of the menu and update this review.

    The owners are rude and disrespectful. They have no idea how to manage and treat the staff poorly such as name calling and insults. THE SERVERS DON'T KEEP THE TIPS... So what is the point of tipping for table service... it goes straight to the company. Hostile work environment and abusive managers make it an awful place to even think of eating. (PS. Think Kitchen Nightmares TV show and you got Roma's Cafe in many instances.) BEWARE.

    This Cafe is basically hidden on York Road behind a Jiffy Lube. However, despite its plain Jane look and interior and off-beat location it serves reasonably priced good food for dinner and lunch. The seafood dishes are particularly fresh and nicely prepared and always served hot so that's what we ordered. We visited on Saturday night and we had our usual favorites, shrimp kebobs with rice, grilled vegetables and a side salad. This entree consisted of two nice skewers of shrimp (8 large ones) and a sizable order of rice. My husband had a large crab imperial made exactly the way he likes-without the heavy sauce on the top. The crab dish was a nice ramekin of large Venezuelan lump crab meat that was served with a baked potato and a small side salad. The dressing for the salad is homemade and tasty. The bread basket is filled with ordinary commercial Parker house rolls and are just an accessory that can be avoided. It's the large platters, the nice service, the family ownership and the reasonable prices that make this a pleasant place to dine. One more comment, they have decent pizza if that's what you crave. It is not the designer kind but it is tasty, fresh and hot and very satisfying.
