    Pretty good chicken wings
    Tommy J.

    Just decided to try this place again. It has a great delivery service that doesn't really cost much extra. It's worth tipping the driver. We have been working in our yard doing a lot of yardwork and didn't feel like going out. A nice bonus was the website said it would be 45 minutes for delivery and I think they delivered it within 20 minutes. What we ordered: Chicken wings Sweet potato fries Burger w/fries They do have good burgers. Kind of reminds me of the old A&W. Although this time the burger was a little more smashed than I like. Really nice size chicken wings, and the flavor was good. The only issue I have with this establishment besides it's a little pricey for a double burger and fries ... there tater tots, sweet potato fries, and french fries are not consistent. Three visits and each time one of the starches was undercooked. The first time was tater tots, they were mushy and oily. The second time I went in and sat at their table had a burger and fries and fries run cooked. The manager/owner was there and I brought them to his attention. I told him I didn't want any compensation as I was full, but I showed him the fries were not cooked. On this delivery, the sweet potato fries were mushy. If they could fix this issue ... even though it's a little pricey it's better than driving all the way to town for a burger.

    I had to go to Lemmon Valley today came across Roy's burger shack stopped there and we both got a kids cheeseburger. It came with lettuce, tomato really good pickles and you could've had onions too along with 1000 island dressing. Trust me. This was really really good. Very small little restaurant very clean people. There were very nice and explained everything so it said happy adventure with a great cheeseburger and fries you need to go out there and try this place.

    Heard about this place on Facebook, people were talking about how it's one of the best burgers in town, I gotta say they're right. The location is true to the name it's a small burger shack. Service was friendly, which is always great. We ordered two Roy's burgers, mozzarella sticks and some onion rings. The burgers were tasty! Hands down one of the best we've had in the Reno and north valleys area. The meat was actually seasoned, not dry but juicy full of flavor, veggies were fresh and crisp and the thousand island sauce brought the burger together. Totally recommend this one if you haven't tried it already! Onion rings tasted great, fried to perfection and not soggy like some Places serve them. The mozzarella sticks were also delicious and crisp. Overall I'd say if you're craving a burger without a long wait (took only about 10-15 minutes for all our food to come out) then this is the place for you. Menu is simple and to the point but what they do have they do it well.

    I've seen many ads for Roy's Burgers and decided to take a drive out there today. It's off of Lemmon Drive. It's a very tiny spot with six tables. Two employees in house today, a friendly counter person and a cook. The menu is limited but we went for the burger. We were allowed to order the child's burger as were seniors and can't eat a giant sandwich. And the child's burger with a basket of fries was more than plenty for us. The fries are delicious and they were generous with them. They're served with a side of ranch. The burger is on a fresh brioche bun and had lots of fresh toppings. You can choose what you want but I went for everything which included thousand Island dressing, tomato red onion lettuce and lots of yummy pickles. And cheese of course. The burger was very good and we were surprised at how tasty it was. They offer also a Philadelphia steak sandwich, couple other items that I probably would like to go back and try. Everything was served in about 5 minutes. The drinks are a selection of soft drinks in a refrigerator case. There are no fountain drinks. Overall great lunch today and the price was $14 for the child's burger which is the size of a normal burger at a lot of fast food places and the fries.

    Roy's Grill in Lemmon Valley off of Lemmon Drive. Check them out. The food is excellent! Julie A

    Roy's Grill is a brand new Hidden Treasure just off of Lemmon Drive in Lemmon Valley. The burger and fries were Five Star, customer service from Chef Letty was outstanding. Roy's Grill is a very simple little restaurant but I can say that the food speaks for itself! Excellent! This burger was so big I had to take it home! Loved it! Come and try Roy's Grill. I think you will love it as much as I do. Julie A

    We don't have a lot to choose from out in the north valleys area so I wanted to give this place a try. I ordered online for a pickup order.They had it made and ready to go within ten minutes, which is awesome! The burger was good and pretty filling, it was big! Next time I'd like to try the wings. They had their garment cleaner there when I arrived who threw the bag of dirty stuff out the door as I was walking in nearly hitting me. Maybe using the back door for that would be a better choice. Also since the building joined to a bar, the restaurant smelled like cigarettes

    My dad heard of this place on Facebook and wanted to try it out. I thought not much about until we went. This hole-in-the wall joint is awesome. The service was great and very nice. The food was fantastic with it definitely hitting the spot on a quiet holiday. If you need a good burger that will fill you up this is the place to go. The Philly Cheese Steak according to my day was pretty good bun and all. I really hope that this place goes into a major restaurant in our area

    Patty melt with fries
    Autumn R.

    Contrary to other reviews, we were super satisfied and happy with the food and wonderful staff. Visited on Monday, ordered the mushroom Swiss, patty melt and a side of onion rings. Everything was wonderfully cooked and served. Very happy with the portion sizes and taste of everything overall. We will be back for certain, great little "shack" in Lemmon valley.

    4/20 munchies were satisfied, my man and I didn't realize how close this little spot was to us. Crazy but we gotta give props to the person who took our order and proceeded to go to the back to whip it up together! 1 man show typa thing, everything was yummy, def coming back! p.s just recommend a few more drink options but other than that so bomb!

    Had the western burger, the meat was cooked well, ant barbecue sauce had a good bite to it, most enjoyable. The shoestring fries were okay. Will be back and trying more of the menu.

    Mushroom Swiss
    Mariana G.

    We came here pretty late and wanted to try something other than the typical fast food places in Lemon Valley. Nova was the only one cooking but MANNNNN can she cook! Definitely worth the wait. We got the mozzarella sticks, one Roy's burger and one Mushroom Swiss. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor was amazing. Nice little hole in the wall. You don't want to miss out!

    BLT with regular fries
    Thomas C.

    Contrary to what I've been reading about this place, it's just plain GOOD! My wife and I agreed we had to know for ourselves so we grabbed lunch here today and were impressed by the cleanliness of the everything. Ordering was easy and food was quick. Packaged nicely too. Hope it's not too gross to post half eaten food but man it smelled so good! We shall return! TBH I hope this helped local folks because I'm from a small town so a good grill hits the spot. Our first trip was a success. Thank you Roy's. *Rating 4 stars because of lack of sauce options. They may have but we were not offered.

    I highly recommend this place because I love the chicken wings! My favorite is a sweet chili, however that's not the only thing on the menu the sweet potato fries that come with all the sides. Those are delicious as well. My husband loves the Swiss burger and I love the patty melt

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.

    I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) 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.

    Parking was open at 5 pm on Sunday. Noticed a person sitting in the booth for Archie's parking…read moreonly, monitoring the parking. Other reviewers mentioned parking lot can be quite packed. We found parking right away. We noticed the large banner outside touting best burgers. Was craving fish and chips, buttttt decided to go with a burger. Ricardo was our server.. we were greeted as we were stepping through the door. Told to take a seat anywhere. Ricardo recommended "any" burger with a smile. I asked whether I should order onion rings or fries, he said order the Texas Toothpicks.. Combo of beer battered onions and jalapeños. Ok let's do this. Richard's must have checked in on us 5-7 times during our meal, great service! Actually we had an entire conversation about his service, friendly, efficient, quick, chatty, and gets the order right! Order Bloody Mary served with banana pepper, green olive and lime.. no salted rim, which is fine, missing salty component for me BECAUSE I LIKE SALT... Drink was GOOD. Bloody Mary and Corona brought icy cold within two minutes. Jalapeno burger and fries son loved his burger! Son felt his burger had appropriate amount of salt and great char crusting. Garlic butter burger and Texas Toothpicks which is beer battered onions and jalapeños. In my opinion this burger starts with the bread.. Delicious soft bun that actually fits the patty. The patty had a nice sear on it, it was under seasoned and almost well done. The burger was lacking salt component to complement the garlic. Had the burger been seasoned, and had I have ordered it medium rare, (my mistake) it would have been really good. The burger did come without condiments which I appreciate because I can put my own in appropriate amounts to my liking. I added a pinch of salt, no complaining and we were good to go! I didn't even eat 1/4 of my food! The burgers and portions were HUGE!! The Texas Toothpicks were really good, a good fry was achieved on them. They held up to being dipped in ranch. 1/2 order hot wings and fries The wings were ordered breaded and hot. They had a good crisp, and were fried appropriately! Good amount of salt. The fries were served super crispy, piping hot and perfectly salted. The order came with carrots and celery without having to ask. Ranch.. Ranch is a serious condiment in our household with food like this. It was good. An appropriate amount was served with wings, and of course for us fries and ranch go hand in hand. The restaurant was clean, all staff was friendly and great service!!!

I had a craving for a smash burger (like Nola Sliders) and this was one of the few places open at the time. I didn't have a bad experience, it just wasn't what I hoped for. While the burger tasted fine, it was not a smash burger. I'm not sure if they used the wrong meat, but the burger patties did not have the thin, crispy, seasoned edges that you would expect. It was more along the lines of frozen burger patties that you get from Costco. While those make a great option for the cookout, it doesn't quite work for smash-style patties. The saving grace was that the fries were super crispy! The staff are friendly and the lobby is simply 4 chairs and 2 small tables to wait for your order. The ambiance doesn't really have an inviting vibe. The menu seems a bit jumbled - almost like they aim to be a jack of all trades but a master of none. It wasn't the slowest service, although, I would hate to see what would happen if they had 10 orders in the kitchen at the same time. I would advise giving this place a shot when you have some time to kill.
