Fun friendly, busy, and great burgers! The spot. I went down for a friend's birthday party they have a back room that you can run out and it's super cute and casual but fun read more

Went last weekend with my roommate around 2:00pm for a quick lunch after our walk around the Truckee River, but it was anything but quick. After looking at the time on my receipt, I realized we had waited 51 minutes for our two burgers, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. We were also told that fries would be an up charge, and chips were the base item. The chips we received with our burgers were lays potato chips. I don't have any complaints about the burger itself, but my roommate and I were both ill for the entire next day so it's safe to say that Royce was the cause. I was also freaked out after watching one of the waiters bring another customer their beer while holding the glass from the top, and then walking to the self-service bussing station to collect dirty plates! If you want to wait and hour for a smash burger and lays potato chips, Royce is the place to go read more

On a quest to find the best (non fast food) burger in Reno. Read a review saying "this is it!" IT'S NOT. The burger was fine and tasty, but not very big for the price. Special sauce (1000 Island) is the only option as they do not have mayo. Comes with potatoe chips but one can buy an order of frites which were really skinny and over cooked, like potatoe sticks out of a can. The Shashito peppers were really good and my friend really enjoyed the impossible patty (for $4 extra). Drinks were good, ambience fun and friendly read more

The best burger in Reno? Certainly one of the best HANDS DOWN! I ate so much so fast that I forgot to take any pictures of the food or the ambiance. I will definitely return and update my review with pics. I always get the Royce Burger, and it is so packed with deliciousness. It knocks the Double Double from In n Out out of the water. The indoor area where we sit always has a game on, but Royce also has a pretty epic patio area. I just wish they opened a little earlier on weekends so I can get my lunch burger in. But maybe that adds to the preciousness of this spot. I can't wait to return. read more

Best burger in Reno. Service is a bit slow but worth the wait. It can get very busy on weekends. Says it closed at 11, but the kitchen closes at 10. read more

Wow, would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice,chill vibe. Eat a delicious burger and the bartenders/ servers were attentive which makes it feel like you are welcomed to the place. Leo was hands down the best host/bartender/waiter I have ever had. Definitely gonna go back just cuz of him and the ambience! 5 stars in my books. read more

Fantastic smash burger and fries! The bar staff are all amazing. This is the clean hole in the wall that is a must visit in Reno!

You'd think after all these years in Reno that I would have been here by now! I finally got it together and went for dinner, hearing that the burgers were quite good. Well, the results were correct! Friday night was busy, and waves of people came in and out, but that was a good feel in my opinion. Seating is inside and out and due to the weather, I was inside. My only mission was to have a cheeseburger, and mission accomplished! This cheeseburger was amazing, from every aspect! Perfectly put together, juicy, flavor and hot! I crushed it in minutes, and then used the potato chips to finish up! There's no doubt I'll be back for another, but at least wanted to give Royce a shout out for having an outstanding burger! Well done! read more

This place has THE BEST burger and fries in Reno, period. They also have friendly and knowledgeable bar tenders and an excellent selection of beers, on tap, bottles and cans. I've been here several times and it never disappoints. I wish they opened for lunch but maybe that keeps the evening special? Great place to hang with friends I don't know why this doesn't have five stars from every reviewer? read more

This review is negatively impacted by the food since I didn't drink so no opinion on the drinks. It's definitely popular as it has a patio for people to hang out when it's finally warm! However, I'm not a big fan of their food.. not sure why they make their chicken wings so unbearably salty. Could it be a tactic to have people drink more? Not gonna come back for the food. read more

Excellent burger! Great interior ambiance. Nice outdoor patio. Great bar service ( they are HUSTLING ). and the food runners are too! Great random find while visiting Reno! read more

Tried this burger joint this week on the recommendation of a friend. I guess I didn't know what to expect - a bar that also serves burgers. Unfortunately the staff at the bar taking our order were not very friendly or helpful. Our burgers were good, but I would have preferred 1 thicker patty than 2 thin ones so it would be juicier. The chips served with the burgers were just from a bag - I was hoping from house-made. The fries were great though - thin and crispy. The ambiance was weird inside - I didn't really enjoy it. The outdoor seating would have been nice if it weren't 100 degrees out. Decent burger and fries, but not my favorite place. read more

7:00pm and both indoors and outdoors is packed with people! Good service. The Japanese wings with their wasabi dressing is delightful. Love the big patio with lights strung across! read more

Great vibes, delicious food. Love that they post the average food wait time at the door so that you know what to expect, and it just gives you more time to enjoy their delicious drinks. read more

Best Burger contender alert!!! I have been coming to this place for a few years and the hype is real. Royce does burgers and they do them FANTASTIC. Before jumping into the food let's back up. Royce is the perfect low key hang out/date night. Offering a full bar, dim ambience, back room full of TVs with whatever game is on...it's perfect! Service is always consistent and more importantly the food is IT! My go to is a Royce burger with bacon, fries, and fry sauce. This occasion I went with the BBQ burger to switch it up. Burger is well seasoned, smashed and lathered with a sweet bbq sauce while the bacon compliments with a crisp. The only problem is that the burger is so good that I could go for two every time I'm there!! Keep doing what you're doing Royce!! read more

I love Royce! Such a great spot for amazing drinks, spectacular food and amazing service. Their Royce burger is the obvious choice and I always swoop one up but their poutine is also so insanely good. Love sitting at the bar with Joey! Stop in but be prepared to wait. It's worth it! read more

This place is always the same high quality day in and day out- and we come here weekly for a stressful day at school or work. The mixology is always the same quality of drink no matter who makes it. This is always our go to place! read more

Defending a 1-hour wait for a burger? Lol. Reno deserves better, but y'all would rather defend mediocre service and mediocre food. This is why we don't have nice things. Yeah, I said it. Mediocre. The first two times I had a burger here it was awesome. Delicious, even. Later on, my husband came by twice, wait was over an hour for food (at least they warned him) so he left. This is RENO, not San Francisco. The last time I went, service was slow AF (waited over 45 mins, and there was no warning about being "slow" because they weren't crowded), the fries were dry and overcooked, patty was dry and overcooked, toppings were sloppy and uneven. Not OK. Maybe someday I'll try it again, but this place is overhyped. If you're willing to go BEFORE you're hungry and wait an hour, yeah have fun. PS: dragging people on social for their (legitimate) negative feedback of your business is AWFULLY petty. Not a good look. Nice patio. I'll give you that. read more

First time at Royce. The atmosphere in the front is a typical bar, TV, couches for gathering, bar stools. But there is a generous dining area around the side where the noise is diminished even with TVs going. Two rest rooms so little waiting there. The Royce Burger with fries was superb, cooked to my desired level of goodness. This place was suggested by two new friends and it was an excellent choice after a day of travel. Floors were clean, tables and seating were not sticky. Order at the bar and the order was brought to the table. Recommended. read more

The burger slaps. That's all you need to know. You can thank me later. Service is quick. It's a small place, intimate, and local. Don't get pissy when you can't find a seat, just add good vibes to the place and wait your turn read more

Royce - Royce Burger and Fries - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My girlfriend and I were die hard Royce fan's for years but the last couple of times we truly experienced the absolute worst service. It took well over an hour for ONE burger and wings and that's fine, we saw the sign they have posted, but if the kitchen is so behind, why am I watching the back of house staff drink beers, eat their dinners and be on their phones while on the line as they are trying to cook food "as fast as possible". After we asked about the time and where our food was we were rudely told "well the wait is over an hour and it is what it is." We received our burger 15 minutes before the wings finally came out and once they made it to the table, the runner put them down and just asked if we wanted a box to take them to go. Not only were we made to wait a ridiculous amount of time for no reason but when we finally got our food we were made to feel unwelcome and pushed out. I've never experienced such bad customer service. Would not recommend to friends anymore. So sad because this place use to be and absolute killer establishment but now whoever is running it doesn't care that their staff is rude and does not care about guest experiences. read more

I went here for the first time after hearing good things on Reddit and from my family and wow yeah that was a good burger ( ° °) I got the Frenchified burger and the peppercorn Dijon will live in my head rent free also everyone was sooo nice!! read more

Been here for my second time and the best fries in Reno Nevada. I love the seasoned fries and how they punch a kick in my mouth! Paired with their delicious burger it's very complimentary and mouthwatering! The service is quite confusing when you first go but then you get it you order at the bar and they will bring it to you! Though don't be afraid to ask they are super friendly! The ambiance of this place is small to me but it's perfect! Please RUN DONT WALK when you come to try! The burger place is in the back of the bar by the way! read more

Don't understand the hype at all. Burger was ok. Bun was a little stale. Burger seemed like it was Costco frozen patties. Not bad, but nothing special at all. Fries were way over seasoned and cold. Wings and pork belly were delicious though! Older gentleman bartender was nice and welcoming. He started our order. Then a younger guy took our food order. He hates his job. Acted like doing his job was in imposition. read more

Chill cool vibe, great food and drinks. Perfect weather and nice patio seating. Healthy food options. Enjoyable experience overall.

Gayle's flight into RNO was to arrive at close to 8 PM, and for whatever reason, I found myself in Reno a little early and ready for something to eat. I did a search on "Burgers Near Me" and Royce popped up. After a run around from the mapping program (like head north on a southbound one-way street), I found Royce which I had not noticed before when I've been in this neighborhood. It's right next to Old Granite Eatery and within short walking distance from the Nevada Museum of Art. I ordered a Royce Burger and a Revision IPA and proceeded find a nice outside seat on a pleasant evening. A lot of other folks felt the same way, so the patio had a nice happy buzz to it. The inside (where you order at the counter) has more of a dive bar feel and is small. It does have some tight couch and other seating, plus a couple TVs for sports. The burger was delicious and the only reason I'm coming in at 4-Stars is that I made the mistake of not ordering fries instead of sticking with the included potato chips. Hence, I'm not sure I had the full Royce Burger experience. But not to worry, me and my Royceburger card will be back, with or without Gayle. :) read more

Royce - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Mmmmmm, Royce Burger!!!!! The burger here is the only thing I get, well, and the fries of course. But their burger is quality, so much flavor, great sauce. It's a burger that I crave, and I'm always satisfied afterwards. This place has expanded quite a bit, which is great, plenty of sitting inside and outside. I love a good patio! I don't personally care for their wine choice, but eh, I can drink a white claw or beer any day. I come to Royce for the burger. Yum-O! read more

I was pretty apprehensive about this place at first. You have to stand in line at the door. One person is taking everybody's order you get a ticket and then grab a table. Here the burgers are out of bounds ! The chicken wings were way overdone! The servers are working hard and they're really awesome! Good choice of beers and other libations! read more

Yikes. I had the Frencified Burger and fries, and got my salt quota for the month. The best thing was the endless supply of water...much needed, serve yourself. read more

Really cute restaurant. They don't have a large menu but if you like burgers and wings they have you covered! They have 3 seating areas-main bar area, patio and downstairs. Service was great-even though they were really busy when we visited. We had the bbq. Burger with chips and the Imperial Japanese chicken wings with fries. Both were delicious. Loved the wasabi ranch that came with the fries! Fun, solid restaurant! read more

After enjoying a matinee performance of The Lion King at the GSR we were craving burgers. The timing was off, it was too late for lunch too early for dinner. Someone suggested Royce because of their reputation for serving up a tasty burger. I checked the time it was 3:50, the Royce opened at 4pm, we were on our way. Upon entering I was immediately stuck by the cool vibe, it was as if your favorite uncle had set up a seated bar in his family room. We sat down on comfy couches and looked over the menu before ordering at the bar. We were given our $5 draft beers ( HH prices) and headed for the back dining area to wait for our burgers. My burger was spectacular, the Frenchifried cheese burger with peppercorn dijonaise, Gruyere, caramelized onions on a buttery brioche bun, all my favs! My only complaint was that the burgers come with Lays potato chips. However, some of us upgraded to fries for an additional cost. They were decent shoestring potato's served with a ketchup/ mayo concoction. Our server was also kind enough to bring us garlic-aioli sauce that was quite tasty to dip your burger into. If you're looking for a non mundane tasty burger check out Royce. read more

Great Ambiance, perfect wings, burgers great flavor cooked well done unfortunately. The staff and vibe are a A+

Good burgers and drinks. Lowkey atmosphere. Sometimes the fries or pork belly bites are burnt/old but I try to be forgiving. Sometimes it's hard to get a bartenders attention. Overall, a staple. read more

This place was very welcoming and cozy the vibe was amazing and so was the food. The buffalo chicken wings are a must. Great food great service great scenery read more

Royce - Buffalo chicken wings - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Whenever I am craving a delicious, burger accompanied with salty and garlicky fries.... You'll find me at Royce between 4-10pm with my stamp card!! Would you rather go to a restaurant chain and pay close to $20 for some basic frozen burger? Or go to Royce and have a Royce Burger and wash it down with a cool, gin refresher? Option 2 for me. If you and your date want to start off with wings, 10/10 recommend the Japanese wings w wasabi ranch. Right amount of crisp and sauce to the wings! Nice guys at the bar, you can tell they love the atmosphere they work in. If you can snag a spot on their patio in the evening, it's a pretty cool spot to enjoy your burger with a group of friends. read more

Such a great spot. Smelled inside, but once you are outside the lights and ambience were lovely. The burger was yummy and fresh and the mushroom fries weren't greasy at all. Definitely will be going back for date night with the hubby. read more

Food is good but I'm sitting here currently at 55 minutes waiting for my food. At least preface that it will take this long before we order.

Came here with the fiancé for date night and had a great time. When you go inside, you order at the bar. The menu is on the wall or they have printed ones. They took our order quickly which was nice. We went with the Royce burger. They serve it with what looks like lays original chips but we ordered fries instead. We ordered some drinks too and they gave us a punch card which I thought was cool! We then were given a number and we got to sit wherever we wanted. There are couches and lounging inside. It is small and tight. The outside has a nice ambiance. Good lighting, good amount of tables and dogs are welcome! The cheese curds were great! I'm not a big cheese curds person but these ones had a garlic flavor in them and they were good! The burgers came out fast and they tasted great. Tasted like a fancy in n out burger but better. The sauce is pretty much the same. The lettuce and tomato tasted fresh as well! The fries are skinny but I kinda liked it. I think it was a good portion of food for $12. My only complaint would be that the fries were slightly over seasoned with like a Cajun seasoning I think but I still ate them. Great place to try if you are in downtown Reno! read more
