    I'm still going down a long list of burger places to compare. Beefy's is my 5th place to try. Local spot with character and plenty of seating inside and out with the combo of bar+bus+picnic tables. Lots of fans including mist fan outside to fight the heat. Bus feels spacious but seating is a bit cramped with tiny metal bench seats. Lots of other options other than burgers (hot dogs, chicken, etc) but come on, what's the name of the place? Service was fast, about 15 minutes to get our burgers but the place was near empty on a weekday mid afternoon after the typical lunch period. Insider tip I got: If the place is even 1/3rd full, be prepared for a long wait (minimum half hour?) I noticed quite a few reviews mentioned the prices were high. And when I got the bill for $60 for two people with tax and tip I might have agreed, at first, especially if my main repeat burger joints were In-n-out/Wendy's/Jack-n-Box. But comparing to those places is not apples-to-apples. It's 1/3 lbs patties here (70% more than the just below 1/4 lbs of meat you get on a Double Double) and quite a step up in meat quality from those chains. About $16+ for single patty burger and $20+ for double, but that also includes fries and a drink. I get the feeling people complaining about the prices have to be burger addicts with the review perspective of a frequent In-n-Out patron which allows getting your "fix" more frequently on the average budget. I would prefer if I could opt-out of the full meal deal for a lesser price and just get a burger. If you get a beer, the included soft drink is redundant or unnecessary. And some may prefer to focus on the protein without additional carbs/calories from the fries. But granted this isn't a place to be counting calories. Burger is high quality all around and they cooked them actually medium rare as ordered. Many places don't give a cook temp option or still overcook. Fries were great, better than the freezer burnt airy texture of In-n-Out. My only criticism is both the fries and the patty had too much salt but not to an inedible point. A common occurrence though given the cook's and/or typical frequent fast food eater's salt-desensitized palate. So Beefy's ties at #2 with The Parlor sitting between my #1 Royce and #3 Archie's, then #4 Juicy's. Armando & Sons and Barrio Burger are next.

    Quantity and quality at its best at Beefys. One of my go-to spots when craving a cheeseburger! A big cheeseburger foodie myself and gotta say the amount of food you get and the taste/quality is perfection! Try em out you won't be disappointed foreal foreal.

    Beefy is like no other diner that you've been to at least for me. It's part dining car, dining bus and outdoor seating. It has the vibe of 1950-ish with a Reno flair. The burgers are made from beef by local distributors, one that is right next-door, Ponderosa Meats. The staff are very friendly and genuinely care about the product they serve. I ordered the Nevadan which was a classic juicy burger with all of the common things like lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. It was great. I also ordered the zesty garlic buffalo wings, which were out of this world. One of our dining neighbors gave me a sample of the Thermo nuclear wing, which was way way too hot, but delicious. My wife ordered the pastrami pileup which was piled high with pastrami and also a third pound patty. It was all too yummy with a perfect mix of flavors. I can't believe I've lived here for 27 years and had not tried Beefy's. Give me a call and I'll meet you there cuz I'm going back for sure.

    Really great burger first time at Beefys and it was great. I got to meet the Owner and talk to him really nice guy. I still need to go back and try more but that burger I had I really enjoyed. Thank Pat.

    Cute little food truck in midtown. Friendly service and amazing food. I ordered the Nevadan which is basically their classic burger. I also ordered garlic fries. The burger was well seasoned and the fries were hot, fresh and delicious! I will absolutely be back

    Stopped by this burger spot for dinner and I'm so glad we did! The best burger I've ever had. Hands down! We had THE VAQUERO garlic Parmesan tots. They were incredible! The best time I'm in Reno this is for sure one of my first stops! The service was fantastic too!

    First off I have to say that the burger was perfect. I ordered the breakfast burger. Cooked medium egg with over medium as requested, and the bacon was good. There's a place gets one star though because I didn't check the prices. When I arrive the guy charge $24.95 that's correct a burger, some tater tots and a drink. I was pretty put off by this, but just left thinking holy crap this place has gotten expensive. When I arrived home to eat my burger, I decided to look up the prices and there was a menu posted from last month by peter H. $12.50 for the breakfast burger. $6.99 to upgrade it to a combo. Total price $19.50 ...My price: $24.95. I even asked on the phone if they had a combo special he said yes they did and asked me what I wanted to drink. Even if I was charged separately, I find it hard to believe that a drink and tater tots is $12. If there's up- charge for switching fries tots, the guy can say hey I'm gonna charge you five dollars extra.

    This greasy spoon is a dive that is for sure- extremely cramped inside (we were in "the nook" and some other people sat down and put a stool in front of the only way we could get out which made me nervous of a grease fire breaking out heh). But honestly my burger and the fries were quite well prepared and the components of the burger were obviously fresh/ scratch made and well sourced (I would hope so, burger and fries is over $20 here). Glad I asked before I decided on what burger to try, as I was told the house sauce was a tartar sauce.. who puts tartar on a beef patty? Is it really a tartar sauce like gherkins and capers and tarragon? Or is it a mayonnaise with relish in it? Could you actually explain it if you work there? I don't know. Service was a little clunky, the owner had a weird conversation with his server about how to serve the customer in the middle of the restaurant for all to hear which was virtually; to let them wait, that's how we do it here lol

    Mobile Seating!

    I am officially declaring Beefy's the best burger joint in Reno! My wife and I have been discussing over the past few months what the best burger joint is in Reno. This includes not only the quality of the burger (most important) but fries, location, service, selection, consistency, the full package! We have determined that Beefy's meets all the marks, and is now the top recommendation if anyone asks where they should go for the best burger in Reno. Pat the owner is a bit of a character and I always appreciate his attention to service and the personality he brings to the experience. A huge plus I found on my last visit, they have a new bus to expand their seating, which has always been a bit of a struggle since it's a small diner. The bus has bench type seating with a TV, heating and cooling, and some neat decor. On this last visit, I opted to splurge and got the Pot Belly Burger which was so good, with Bacon, Ham and Pastrami included. My wife went with the Nevadan and would rate it a great standard burger with cheese. The Parmesan fries were a nice treat and one basket was more than enough for us. Always good beers on tap, we both got a local IPA that was refreshing. If you are looking for an authentic Diner with the best Burger in town, stop by Beefy's and you won't be disappointed!

    DO NOT COME HERE AND DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! They are trashy. Go from eating to cooking. Waited 1hour 52 minutes FOR ONE BURGER! Forgot pickles and tomato's on the one burger. Said they prioritize first come first serve which INCLUDES ONLINE ORDERS LIKE DOORDASH AND UBER EATS. There was only 4 people in the building total (2) being my friends and it took that long for one burger than after speaking to staff they got upset and said theres a 1 hour sign wait on doors. Frozen onion ring. 28.99 for a small burger than smaller or same size IN AND OUT. Food was nasty and not because it was sitting in grease gross because staff is eating. Do NOT COME HERE. IT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS ON TV ITS NOT. !!!!! Asked staff how long they said 10 minutes and ended up being 58 more minutes.

    Solid! What a great burger joint. Small but ideal for a quick burger and beer. The bus outside is a cool niche seating area. Good service and cooks were cool. Really glad to have finally got to check it out.

    A plethora of their food! (A burger with actual meat)
    Hadassah D.

    Beefy's was awesome (I say as a vegetarian, haha)! They were so accommodating to our large party and let us have the bus to ourselves. Despite the actual restaurant not being the kind of place, size-wise, where a large party should fit easily, the staff made sure we were able to get dinner there. We were a group of 12 celebrating my brother's graduation ceremony and they did a great job getting our order in and out to us in a timely manner. They also didn't make any mistakes with our orders which is really impressive because I think that can be difficult sometimes when ordering such a large quantity of food. Everyone in our party seemed super happy with the options available, this place is very accommodating diet-wise whether you choose to eat chicken, beef, or no-meat. I tried a chocolate-malt shake, the vaquero with a veggie patty and pepper jack cheese, and onion rings. Everything was absolutely delicious! The onion rings were the perfect amount of crispy and salty. The veggie burger was delicious, a little crisp and buttery-tasting, the fried jalapeños added a nice crunch and kick. I also really enjoyed the ranch, it was thick, creamy, and the right amount of salty. To sum it up, this place was amazing and the service was excellent.

    We visited this place because my husband loves burgers, and I like fries. We sat inside without realizing they have these awesome bus tables outside. It's such a cool concept, having tables inside a bus! The atmosphere was really fun, with a nostalgic American vibe from the past. My husband, who's pretty picky about burgers, absolutely loved his. He mentioned he'd definitely go back to try another one. I enjoyed the fries and the delicious sauce they served us as well. Definitely worth a visit!

Even with the place being full, everything ran smoothly and the staff stayed friendly and attentive the whole time. It felt like they actually care about making sure you're taken care of, not rushing you in and out. Definitely a strong point of the experience. For food, we had the chicken fried steak and the French toast. The chicken fried steak was exactly what you want from a place like this, large portion, hearty, and satisfying. The French toast was a nice balance to that, a little lighter but still rich and comforting. Overall, it's solid, no nonsense comfort food that hits the spot. This is the kind of place you go when you want a real meal and a laid back atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Great value and service!

Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's!

Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

We ups recommend both of those. This is the problem--we ordered to go so we could take back to work. The first bite of the burrito was charred. Tasted that way. Figured maybe the knife that cut it was covered in something, so ate some off other half, same thing. I tore off both cut ends. Now, I know it's the burrito. This burrito should have had only cheese, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was missing cheese (which, ironically, may have made the completely charred bacon doable). You'd think it'd be even easier to make, not having to cook sausage, too. This bacon was not just burned. It was inedible. Because the restaurant was now closed and we couldn't leave work, I had nothing but a horrible taste in my mouth. It looked so good. I like crispy bacon, the burrito was hot. But I don't even know if meat this burnt is unhealthy. There's no way they didn't notice, that's the worst part, they still added it to the burrito. $12, no sides (you can have salsa, I have them keep it, why waste?). We'll try it again.

It was just unfortunate how one child in particular's meal came out at the very end when everyone was pretty much done with eating. The female staffer who brought over the dishes dropped plates on the table before scurrying off. At first I thought it was just a random occurrence but when it consistently happened, there was no way to justify that kind of service. Food was doable. The whole hype over Pine State Biscuits was simply that- JUST HYPE. The dining experience overall and vibe of the eatery was just not my scene. Kudos to those who genuinely enjoy the establishment but I'm gonna have to pass. I wouldn't openly waste my time or calories here.
