    AMBIANCE ON POINT
    Marciel B.

    Prior to walking in I mini panicked, like um are we undredessed? Looks pretty elegantish for Reno prior to walking in. Inside has a very vintagey vibe and is very comfortable and clean. We were seated immediatley and hour order was placed very quickly. SERVICE WAS GREAT!! Calamari: Cooked to perfection. Not to crunchy and not too soft. EXCELLENT Clam Chowder: I would swear that someones Nona is in the back whipping this stuff up. It is hearty rich and delicious. Mushroom Rigatoni: Super yummy, order EXTRA sauce when you get yours, but definitely try it. Noodle Bowl: I have questions.....like real questions. Bland broth, 4 super thinly cut slices of chicken, some veggies and a few extras you can add in. Flank Steak and Fixins: Cooked to his preference and almost precisely which is hard to do, he is super picky. This had a great blend of wine sauce and gorgonzola cheese. Our order has been decided: 1st Place is Clam Chowder 2nd Place Flank Steak 3rd Place was the Calamari Side note: if you like horse radish, TRY IT, WE EVEN TOOK SOME HOME!!! Secondary aide note: We will be back to try other portions of their menu!!!

    First time to M3, based on a recommendation from a friend in our group. Casual setting for a professional dinner meet up. Kind and fast service. Expansive menu. I liked: - Artichoke appetizer - Shrimp and Grits Plenty of parking. Something for everyone. Solid restaurant away from the main Reno hub bub.

    If you like salmon do not skip out on the house salad $6 add salmon $10. They also do an herb crusted salmon salad but grilled is the way I go. Interior is nice darker wood and brick walls with rustic accents. A few reserved spots for the restaurant otherwise you'll need to look around the complex for parking. Staff is friendly and artichoke is a solid appetizer. It was a working lunch meeting so no drinks but I would come back to check it out again.

    Our daughter came home for the holidays and we took her here for her welcome back dinner. It is a family favorite! The restaurant and bar are festively decorated right now so it feels nice and cozy at this time of year! It was pretty busy but we were seated at a booth fairly quickly. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed - our drinks (glasses of wine and beer) took quite a long time to arrive at the table-- but we weren't in a hurry so it worked out fine. My daughter and I decided to split a couple dishes-- the Creamy Burrata & Charred Tomato Bruschetta Skillet and the Salmon Sandwich with Napa Slaw. Both met our expectations and were delicious! My husband decided to get the Rachael Sandwich with Clam Chowder and was happy with his order.

    Prime rib stroganoff

    Loved this place, even if it's hard to find at night! Worth scouting out in daylight. It has a comfortable rustic decor-- brick and wood . Service is friendly and efficient, our party of 11 got water and menus quickly. Four of us ordered the prime rib stroganoff and were very happy with it. Others had fish and chips which, according to them, was okay but not exceptional. One had the flank steak and recommended it. Another ordered the largest house saladI've ever seen. Our waiter was on the spot for refills and removing dirty plates, always a key item for me. My only complaint was that they were out of the key lime pie I'd been looking forward to. I definitely will return and reserve my key lime pie when I arrive!

    This gem is a bit secluded, but is perfect for intimate occasions. The interior is dimly lit for a romantic feel and there is plenty of space. M3 has some unique dishes that I don't see in many restaurants. For example is the stuffed risotto balls that is accompanied by a creamy orange sauce. The outside is crunchy while the inside is soft with some creaminess from the risotto. But they also have classic American fare such as pasta and steak. The grilled flank steak is easy to cut and not gummy like how some steaks can be. The cabernet reduction gorgonzola butter is drizzled on top and pairs beautifully with the steak. The mushroom rigatoni has a classic pasta taste, but the portion is large! I'm hoping that they have some seasonal offers because I think M3 would ace a truffle pasta dish. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

    We come here a lot. Either for special occasions or just for a small family date. Today was aagnificent experience. We had a large party. And I know large parties can be super annoying. They were so patient with us as well as attentive. Always filling the water and trying to even sooth our baby. They tried first with a cherry. She didn't take. Then, tried with oyster crackers. Took she some. She is normally really good when we are out in public, but she wasn't herself today. They took our order. They chatted with us in between orders and pouring wine. Overall food is good, service is great and it feels very much like a family restaurant. Just can't rave enough about that. Of course, we will return and continue to try the vast array of food they have. Note to go early or make a reservation. They are busy every evening and get busier after 530pm.

    For a terrific burger of any kind with many variations of fixings and options, try M3. The coconut shrimp and fried calamari were terrific starters shared by all. Plentiful, crispy and tasty! We were four in our party and having heard the burgers were terrific here, we each order a different type of burger, three beef and one lamb. All were impressed with their orders: BBQ Burger, mushroom burger, The Frisco and the lamb. The burgers were prepared as requested ( all medium). The fries and onion rings were delicious, crispy and plentiful. The service was great, friendly, proficient and professional. The ambiance was warm and private (booth) with nice decor. The serving sizes were plentiful even for big appetites. Definitely a place to go again and try other things on the menu.

    Capellini Pomodori, delicious
    Linda F.

    A small place and hidden behind trees in the shopping center, M3 is worth seeking out. There are no prices on the website menu, so I didn't know what to expect. But I was very pleasantly surprised. All the entrees were very reasonably priced, between mid teens to mid 20's. I had the Capellini Pomodori, pasta with fresh basil, fresh tomatoes and toasted pine nuts tossed with olive oil, white wine and loads of garlic. It's a simple dish, but very well made, delicious. The glass of rosé, The Pale, a vin de France, was crisp and delightful with the pasta. That was definitely a bottle that had just been opened. Our server was attentive but not at all pushy. We had a lovely dining experience with friends, 6 entrees, 10 drinks and we each paid just under $50, all in. Not bad for a nice night out

    Cheers!
    Lynn D.

    It's been a few years since my last review and thought it was time to update to let everyone know how good M3 still is. We spend a lot of Fridays here for their delicious clam chowder. A cup of chowdah and a Sam Adams draft makes me feel like I'm back in Boston. Today we also had the honey dipped fried chicken with honey mustard dip accompanied by fries. Everything was crisp and flavorful-chicken perfectly cooked-crispy outside and juicy inside. Service is always great here-we love eating at the bar-so cozy!

The burger had plenty of caramelized onions, which I'm a huge fan of, and everything was packed with flavor. The wait for the food was about an hour, but it was well worth it in the end. Also, don't miss the extra seating tucked away behind the bar if the front looks full. I also opted for their house michelada paired with a shot for $8 (I believe), which was a great deal. Another nice touch was their frequent visitor stamp card. I'll definitely be back and plan on trying the chicken wings next time. I saw so many people ordering them, and they looked absolutely delicious. Royce has a great atmosphere, great food, and easily earned a return visit from me.

The owner of Ruby Shake Shop routinely parks his Audi in the limited public street parking spaces along South Virginia Street directly in front of Raising Cane's, Ike's Love & Sandwiches, and the surrounding businesses. Anyone familiar with this area knows parking can already be difficult, especially during peak hours when people are trying to grab lunch, pick up an order, or make a quick stop. What makes this particularly frustrating is that these spaces appear to be occupied for extended periods of time, often throughout the day, by someone who owns and operates a nearby business. Public street parking in a busy commercial corridor is a shared resource intended to serve customers and visitors, not to function as a personal parking space for a single business owner. This review is not a reflection of the products or service at Ruby Shake Shop. It is simply feedback regarding what appears to be an extremely inconsiderate use of limited public parking in an area where parking availability already impacts customers and neighboring businesses.

    Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. 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.

The elk comes from a group of family farms they have been doing business with for over 40 years in New Zealand. (Wow!) And the in house ground beef is mostly Niman ranch and Creekstone farms.

The chicken was still very moist while maintaining a crispy exterior. Great choice for your butchery needs, but also a great place to grab some very tasty lunch!
