    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    Great crispy chicken wings , nice size . Shoe string were good . Service was great, small cozy setting

    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.

Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.

The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.
