    Horrible. Overcooked chicken tenders!! Not even edible. Threw it away
    Rich T.

    Horrible!! Chicken tenders came out waaaay overcooked. Tasted like cardboard! Had to throw it away..

    Double Original Burger

    I became familiar with JR in Cali, so I was excited that it was here in Reno. The atmosphere is good. Family-friendly and the staff is friendly too. Food was served fast. The tots were hot and fresh. The burger was supposed to have relish, but I got pickles instead. The relish was why I chose that burger. It was also super greasy. I ended up just eating the beef and some lettuce. Now, the price. I spent almost $34 for a burger, tots, and a root beer. Don't think I will spend that much again for a burger.

    It's been ages since I was here. There were 5 of us in our party. We had a fabulous waiter. I gave 4 stars for the service. He made sure we were all taken care of. I was very pleased that they have gluten-free buns. Back in the day, they had a large menu of shakes. Our favorite was Chocolate covered cherry milkshake. This business is located in the GSR in the basement. My bestie and I got the Bacon and Cheddar burger; she had fries, I did not. I can't remember what the rest of my family got. But everyone was pleased with their burgers, shakes, and fries. We were all so hungry that we didn't get any pictures of our food. I did feel the food was pricey for what we got. The service, on the other hand, was great. Wish I could remember the name of our waiter. I sure hope he gets KUDOS for a job well done.

    Cheese fries

    Everything we ordered was delicious the service was great burgers were amazing cheese fries yummy I would come back

    Fries in black plastic

    it would be incredible if they stopped serving their fries in black plastic and instead they could put them to go in in paper to reduce plastic waste.

    Bug In food

    the food was super expensive for no reason and the cheese was very bad, The tater tots where super soggy the workers wherent terrible but I found a bug in my food. We also asked for a vanilla shake but was given a banana shake, overall bad experience.

    Hamburger with bacon- so good

    Friday, 12:27:24 dinner for party of 22. Had made reservations for 6:30 pm. Came in and table was ready. Order from Hot dog Chilies Double burger Philly cheesesteaks Tater tots French fries Onion rings Milkshakes (strawberry , cookies and cream) All was delicious. Our server was good and attentive. I'm thinking it's his first time to serve a large group but seems like he did a great job maintaining the orders and service. Thanks!

    Chili

    The hostess rudely said she didn't have time to take my to go order and said to order online. My fries were cold and small portion $7.99. They gave me 1/2 cup 3 oz of Chili and I complained that I paid for a bowl $8.99 hostess said that was their portion for a bowl. Terrible!

You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were satisfying, the food came out hot, and the whole meal was just one of those experiences where you finish eating and immediately think, "I'm glad we came here." If you're craving a really good burger, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. We'll absolutely be back!

    So glad we finally tried this place!…read more Some friends of ours tried this place a few years ago, but honestly, I had never even heard of it until I recently saw a review pop up. I told my husband, "We've got to try this place!" We were going to be downtown anyway, walking along the river, so it seemed like the perfect time. I'm so glad we did! I have to say, this place is definitely hipster--and I mean that in the best possible way! It has such a cool, unique vibe. There are diner-style seats with limited space right up along the bar, outdoor seating, and even a bus that has been turned into dining space. The bus was super cute and quaint inside. Today was absolutely perfect for sitting outside, so we took advantage of the beautiful weather. Our waitress, Nicole, was absolutely adorable! She was friendly, welcoming, and made our experience even better. There was another gentleman helping serve us as well, and unfortunately I didn't catch his name, but he was also super nice and attentive. Now for the food! I ordered the Pastrami Pile Up, and boy, they weren't kidding--it was PILEDDD UP! There was a generous amount of really good pastrami, along with a 1/3 pound burger. The pastrami was delicious. For me, the burger could have used just a little more seasoning and I had asked for medium-well, but it came out more medium. I didn't want to complain, though, and overall it was still good. The tater tots were fantastic! They came out hot, crispy and perfectly cooked. Definitely the kind of tots you keep eating even when you know you've already had enough. My husband ordered the Nevadan Burger with Swiss cheese, and he said it was really good. He also got the fries, which were hot and very tasty. There was so much food that we ended up taking some of the fries and our burgers home to enjoy tomorrow. And then there were the Parmesan garlic wings. My husband said they were absolutely delicious and had just the right little bite to them. I'm not really a wings person, so I didn't try much, but he was definitely impressed! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so happy we finally gave this place a try. Between the fun atmosphere, unique seating options, friendly service and generous portions, there's definitely a lot to come back for. Next time, I think we're going to try something completely different--and I already have my eye on the fried Oreos with ice cream! So glad that random review popped up and convinced us to give this place a try. Sometimes you just have to follow the recommendation and go!

Well as luck would have it on a Tuesday night. I was looking for a place to eat, and they were open. I've missed out on this gem for many years. The hostess and the wait staff were amazingly polite and friendly. At 7:30 pm on a Tuesday it was near empty and quiet. The steak sandwich was excellently done, perfectly to the request of medium. The onion rings were crisp and juicy. The potato and cheese soup was thick, creamy and just really brought the feeling of fall is coming with its flavors and warmth. A Great Basin Icky paired well with the meal, and it was a pleasant walk home with a very full belly, a deep warmth and a pleasant dining experience. Don't miss a chance to visit PJs.

Just good basic French Toast. Nothing bougie, just good French Toast. The eggs were eggs but the sausage was quite good. Rich with flavor. The coffee, while unusually expensive for a dinner, was just meh. Nothing special nor nothing terrible. If you are looking for a good, warm, welcoming place for diner food, PJ's just might be the place.

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! You have earned a few new fans today.

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. Two previous things we noted: not real butter or mayo, if this matters to you. Spanish rice is basically tomato rice. Soups are good for the most part. Eggs are good. Prime rib is good for the price.

Our family of 8 arrived here to a line that only continued to build. The line exited the building and began to wrap alongside the building. Seating here is first come first serve and are only designated by staff. Saving tables and sitting down prior to placing an order is a big no-no. BUT!! That didn't stop others from doing this anyhow. Let me start off by saying how chaotic this place is. This began from the initial line up to order and continued throughout the meal. Staff seemed flustered, overwhelmed, and moody. I'm not sure if the vibe of our visit would be considered "normal" to the staff and regulars but from my perspective looking in, it just seemed uncomfortably unorganized. As a forewarning to those who have never visited this establishment before, do your research and try to decide on what you would like to order prior to reaching the register area. Being prepared assists in quicker lines and you avoid looks of annoyance overall. Our family ordered a bunch of stuff: *THE REGGIE- hold the cheese & gravy *BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL PANCAKE - single *CORNMEAL PANCAKE- single *BUILD YOUR OWN BISCUIT - bacon, sausage, egg *Side order of EGG *Side order of BACON x2 *CHICKEN FRIED STEAK PLATE w/ BISCUIT *HASH BROWN, 2EGGS, + BACON *THE MONEYBALL *BEIGNETS Food came out at all different times. 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.
