We haven't tried the food yet but we came in for a celebratory beverage and had a nice time. The vibe is still a neighborhood-y dive but they have put a couple of fun specialty cocktails on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the Cold Heaven which was like a whiskey mojito. The slushee tang bang was a fun idea. I love that there is food if you want it. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Maybe we can be in the 200 club. Service was quick and kind. Bartender even came to check on us once things slowed down at the bar. read more

Even with Gordon's fish & chips and Smee's in town, Ryan's is by far the best fish and chips in Reno. I have eaten exclusively the fish and fries several times, and it is still quality for the price. Took my British friend here for him to try and he agreed, although very hot temperature wise, you cannot beat the taste for the price. Ryan's has been around for quite some time, and under new management (previously Von Bismarck) you can tell they are working out some kinks. The ideal plan is to have a rotating meat pie of the week, but so far it's stout and mushroom, which I also thought was hearty and flavorful. Intrigued to see what comes next from these guys. read more

We use to come pretty regularly for our Irish club meetings, but had not been in since it has changed ownership. We met Duncan when we came in and were looking at the menu, very nice gentleman. The new ordering system was nice, it made it very easy and clear to place your order. You do have to pay for food separately from your drink order. I enjoyed my hamburger and fries, my husband said he was OK with his Reuben. It was nice to see a full bar of customers. read more

We were looking for a new place to eat. Most of the tables in the bar area, were high tables with stools. I can't sit on a high stool due to a back injury. There was a separate room with some booths. It was a small menu and the prices were high. The place was a hole in the wall and it didn't match the high prices. Nobody came to ask what we would like. So we left. read more

I have been wanting to come to Ryan's for a long time! It finally felt right to go there Friday afternoon to watch the World Cup. My girlfriend and I walked in and were able to find a high top right away. You order at the counter on a tablet for food and take a number to your table. Drinks are served directly from the bartender. The whole reason I wanted to visit Ryan's was the pickle beer! It was everything I wanted. I have a feeling I'll be craving this beer often and needing to pop in to Ryan's for a visit. I love their traditional Irish menu as well which included fish and chips, shepherds pie, Rueben sandwich and more. This was hands down one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Everything is made so fresh to order. They have a list of specialty cocktails as well. We shared the Irish martini which was perfect for an afternoon pick me up after our big meal. read more

Honestly my favorite kind of restaurant: low key, good vibes, no fuss, great food. The burgers are juicy and delicious and you get to see them made right in front of you. It's a bar so it comes with a bar vibe, but the service is great. read more

Ryan's Saloon & Broiler - Burger - Bars Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Ryan's Saloon for a burger? Yes! Just do it! Small bar filled with locals that like to hang out and have a drinks amongst friends but don't sleep on the burgers here. Came on a recommendation from our friends at Karajillo & Co. and I must say the burgers were delicious. Sure it's "dive bar" vibes but if you order their world famous burger or the junior as well, you will not go wrong. Grilled to perfection and just the right size with a side of steak fries. If you're in the area and want a great tasting burger, don't pass this one up. read more

The vibes were so fun in this bar! Felt very dive-y. Definitely a good place to meet for drinks at the bar or play pool. The burgers were surprisingly tasty! Got to try one with the added pastrami and it actually went really well together. Their fries are not my favorite in town but still good. Would come back for sure. read more

Ryan's is back under new management and I couldn't be happier . Clean and fresh and with much respect to the old Ryan's I chose the teeny martini in gin.... Yum yum... and the little Ryan's since it was still a little early for dinner time yet.. it's a great burger on a great bun and comes with steak fries. Everything tasted great and the fries.... I'm a fry girl and these were cooked just right...thanks to the Ryan's crew! My sister had the fish and chips and I'm definitely trying those next! read more

Was better before the new owners. Food orders must be placed at an iPad, which is usually fine, but they aren't including details of what comes on/with each item. Impossible to order a burger w/o burger sauce - which is slopped on in a quantity that makes an incredibly messy burger. Some people don't like cold burger sauce on their hot burgers. iPad menu doesn't even reflect that a modest portion of fries comes with the burger. Had I been able to order my burger how I wanted it, I may not have been so disappointed by the unfriendly bartender. Where is Afuz? Does she still work there? She was always so lovely & welcoming. I'll give them another shot in the future, but my first visit after the change of ownership was disappointing. read more

Service, fish and chips, atmosphere all terrific for a Reno restaurant icon. I recommend

Now hear me out... when your mama said don't judge a book by its cover. She was definitely talking about this place. Now on the outside it looks like the last place you would want to go to. On the inside ... again the last place you want to go to. But LET ME TELL YOU!!!! Hats to the damn pregnant chef who through down on the grill!!! Ughhkkkk my heart. So if you know me, imma carnivore to the core! Gimmie a good burger or steak and I'm happy. You can't mess those up at all. So when I asked everyone around a good place for a burger , they told me Ryan's saloon . So I made the commute and when I saw the place I was like helllllllll no. This is not it! But I said well since I'm here.... Let's give it a go. Now you'll see old pictures and memories and the locals which were majority vets. Just talking and having convo. The bartender who was a younger pregnant lady was behind the counter. Pretty nice and she gave us the run down. So I said well either imma get food poisoning or imma be in for a shocker and let's just say mannnnnnnnn they were not wrong about this place. So I got the "Nevada burger" ZOOOOOOMYYYGAWWWDDDDD!!! When I say meat sweats! This was definitely it! Don't count your calories, do not take your time, DEVOUR this! I mean so much meat and bacon and cheese and thousand island and whatever else was all in hereeeeeeeee! But mannnnnnn itis. Definitely the itis afterwards. Hands down I haven't had a burger like this in so long and I love mom and pop establishments cause this is what you get when you come in here. And I love it! You definitely gotta come here for the food and the dive atmosphere ! Kudos to the pregnant chef! read more

Ryan's has changed owners. The bar has received a deep cleaning and the best burger in town got a make over. The bun has been upgraded and it is kind of a nice change. However, it falls apart quickly when the burger juices start flowing. The lettuce leaves are no longer there to assist in keeping a juicy burger together. They have been replaced with a hand full of shredded lettuce. I'm not a fan of the new pickles, they aren't bad just different. The fries are now steak fries and they were cooked perfectly. The burger is still good. It's just different. There was nothing really wrong or unpleasant during our meal. It's just different and change is hard. read more

Ryan's is back in 2026! Went in last night to see what the reboot looked like. The dusty bottles are gone, as well as the slot machines. The bar has keep to its classic vibe, but with a solid cleaning. The new food menu looks good, and next time I will try the Ryan's world famous burger. They had the best burger in town once upon a time, and I hope the reboot version meets that expectation. I did have the "cold heaven", it was very good. It was slightly sweet, but not over sweet. Everything about the cocktail was well balanced, and the crushed ice fit perfectly. It's a summer porch sipper kinda drink. read more

One of the best, (possibly the best) burgers in Reno. Been here a few times in just a couple months, to make sure I wasn't over exaggerating my reactions. Grill masters were on point, service on point. Go get a burger HERE! Their house ranch for those the fries was delicious. read more

The food sucks here now. It used to be the best burger in Reno. Now it's hipster trash. Flavorless and thin dried out meat. Horrible.

The burger was really good! They have cheap beers and the bartender Matt was really nice. It's a cool, older, dive bar with gambling and a pool table. read more

My boss got burgers from here for lunch for the small family owned business where I work. One of my coworkers called in the order since it was a bigger order. The guy that answered the phone was rude and used foul language. Once the order was picked up the bartender came outside to complain about how much his tip wasn't. Not only was my coworker not using his own money to pay, I my coworker tips based on service and the service that had been provided was garbage. I am not sure how everyone els's food was but my burger was over cooked and my bun was burn. As someone who has worked in the service industry I will not be returning. read more

Awesome service, great bartender, you can't mess up beer so this review is for the excellent Cheeseburger with crunchy onions perfectly medium rare and a huge juicy Pastrami sandwich.

This place was a gold mine. I recently read an article from ourbigescape.com titled "3 Top Hole-in-the-Wall Reno Joints". I'm not going to lie; hole-in-the-wall will always spark my interest because the mainstream seems allergic to that term. We arrived early for dinner yesterday, around 5 pm, and the place was empty. We walked in and found what I had hoped for: an Irish dive bar that looked the part in all the right places. They had a medium-sized back room with a pool table, a must for me, and dive bars. We decided on the famous Rubin sandwich, cheeseburger, and onion rings. The onion rings were just fine with your regular large, greasy rings. The cheeseburger was a "good solid burger, good meat, nice char." I had the famous Rubin. Any sandwich with famous or the world's best in any self-proclaimed menu item makes a little laugh. Well, I'll be the first to tell you that using famous for this sandwich was well deserved. The meat, flavor, bread, and overall taste were out-of-this-world good! It wasn't a greasy pile of food. It was a work of art. This Rubin sent my tastebuds over the moon and straight to heaven. This recipe was passed down from the previous owner/cook, who worked there for over 30 years. He taught them how to make the Rubin, and they stayed true to form. Amazing! I came to find out our bartender, Lee, was the owner. We told her about the article and the reason why we came in. She couldn't have been more welcoming and sweet to us "newcomers" walking into her place. In fact, everyone is welcome, and there is no such thing as newcomers to her. This sandwich and bar is on my radar now. If you want an amazing Rubin, then you need to get your butt over there. My only advice is don't go hungry. read more

I am not much of a dive bar person, so normally I would not try a place like this. However, I was in the mood for a great burger and my good friend insisted that Ryan's Salon was the place! To my surprise he was right! Service was a little slow and the burger was cooked a little too well done for my liking, however it still was a outstanding burger. I ordered the Rodeo burger which came fully loaded with bacon and a huge onion ring dripping with BBQ sauce. Their fries and onion rings were some of the BEST I have ever tried. I think next time If the service was quicker and the Burger cooked less well done, I would give them 5 stars. Give them a try! You will be surprised like myself. read more

Ryan's is a small neighborhood bar-and we weren't expecting much from the look of it-But-folks were friendly when we went inside & the service and food were great !My boyfriend ordered a cheese burger done medium well and I ordered a poblano pepper burger -the burgers came with a generous side of fries and two dipping sauces. The burgers were large and juicy-well dressed! I'd go back in a heartbeat Good drinks too! read more

Best sandwiches/food in town for lunch. Bartender was great and plentiful with the onion rings- which by far is delicious!!!!

Excellent burgers! Bartender did all the cooking and did an amazing job. Can't give 4 stars as we had to get our own menus and pick our food up at bar, but won't stop us from coming back read more

Lunch today was amazing. My friend was in a pickle whether or not to go with one of their signature burgers or a Corned Beef sando. When the bartender came over, my friend explained her quandary. Without hesitation, the bartender said, "you'll love the Corned beef" in so many words. I ordered their Buffalo Chicken sangwich. Side note: in honor of all oy my friends from Buffalo and the surrounding area, I'm trying to stay in a 'Buffalo' frame of mind for food. When our order was ready, my friend couldn't wait to dive in. I picked up my food and started feasting while she still waited ...until she couldn't hold out anymore. She took one bite and the rest was history: "This is the best Reuben I've had in my life." I smiled because I knew she'd be stoked. She polished off her food with the quickness. After all was said and done, I said to the bartender (while pointing at my friend), "you have another satisfied first-timer." My friend said, "I'll be back soon, maybe tomorrow." If you're still on the fence about getting food at Ryan's, wait no more. Get in there and eat up! Thanks for taking the time to read this. read more

Good old delicious comfort pub food! Don't let the dive bar vibe fool you. This place is serving up some scrumptious bar food. I recommend the garlic cheese curds. Sooo good. On a previous visit we had the burger. It was solid although most people love them. This visit we had a reuben. That thing was overflowing and was absolutely delicious. They are very reasonably priced and we generally find easy parking right out front. If you're craving comfort food at good prices this is your place! read more

We were looking for some good hangover food on New Year's Day and everywhere was full due to the capacity rules. We got lucky with Ryan's, and honestly it will be one of my first choices next time. Our waitress was BEYOND friendly and helpful and took such amazing care of us. And the food was really delicious. I got a chicken bacon ranch sandwich with extra cheese and it was super delicious. They do use a frozen chicken patty, but I cut them some slack because they have a tiny little broiler area to cook in. The ranch was made from scratch and the veggies were insanely fresh. And they cut the fries fresh too. Overall this was a great atmosphere with some really good food and I'll definitely be back. read more

My friend in Reno recommended this place and my friends and I tried it out one night when we were in town. It wasn't too far from GSR. The place had the atmosphere of a dive bar and that's the type of bar I like. The smell of grilled burgers made me hungry! I ordered the Half-Pound Bacon Cheeseburger & Fries. There were several orders ahead of us but they seemed to be short staffed since there was only one person working. They had drink specials but our drinks were simple. We ordered our drinks as doubles while we waited for our food. I ordered my burger medium and thought my burger was burnt when it came out. The burger was charred more than normal. I took a bite of the burger and it was definitely a medium burger with that grilled taste. It was pretty good! The food took a little longer to get to us but it appeared they were short staffed. We drank and waited patiently though! I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area. read more

My wife and I came here on a Sunday about 11am to grab something to eat. We had attempted to come in a few months ago but unfortunately they were closed that day. Do not judge this place by what it appears. It is filled with locals that will welcome you. As soon as we opened the door we were pleasantly surprised - it is smoke free and there are quite a few bar stools which allow you to try your luck. There are also several tables. This is a pretty small place. We had a seat at the bar amongst several other people. We were immediately greeted and provided menus and our drink orders were taken. The menu is simple but there are many good options. We both decided on the patty melt with fries and based on other reviews we also ordered a half order of cheese curds. The cheese curds were yummy and our sandwiches arrives shortly afterwards. Everything looked and tasted delicious. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our experience. Great local bar! This is our kind of place. read more

Ordered for takeout even though we could sit inside (limited though) We called and ordered four cheeseburgers and an order of garlic cheese curds. He said about 25 min, so we drove around Downtown and Wells people watching and mural hunting. Anyways, pulled up front 20 min later (a couple street parking spaces) and headed inside. The man behind the counter cooking burgers was just staring my order and it took another 15 min to be ready. He advised me to nibble on the cheese curds on the way home and we happily did! The curds were not too greasy, nice garlic powdery type crust and flavor. They really hit the spot for the craving I had for them. The burgers were really good as well. Well sized, well cooked with a nice little char on them. Burgers came with fries (standard burger solid) and sides of ranch and ketchup with a decent supply of napkins. It's a little pricey with the total being $57, but the quality was definitely there! I know I'll be back because I'm already craving those cheese curds... read more

Amazing cheeseburger! Just loved it! Perfectly cooked, and delicious toppings. Excellent service. Love that they have cheese curds too.

It was National Burger Day! No messing around here, oh no! After hearing the best burgers in town was at Ryan's... Never been before so okay, let's give them a try! And we weren't disappointed at all! It's a total dive joint, small and yes in the 'hood' not ghetto kinda hood but still in the hood! A place where everyone knows everyone! And they made us feel welcome :-). Joy was the only one behind the bar and cooking, our bartender and chef!! She was awesome and rocked it and always remained pleasant and happy! Loved her attitude! My partner and I decided on the basic cheese burger. When I saw they had cheese curds on the menu - oh my - curds instead of fries with my burger and fries with his. Paired with Sapphire gin and tonics... So delicious!! This was our first experience with Ryan's Saloon and Broiler and we were quite satisfied and will definitely be back! Next time I'll try the garlic cheese curds! read more
