    Ryan's World famous burger (bite taken already)
    Ricardo M.

    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.

    Pastrami burger, bacon burger, Guinness on draft

    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.

    Let's see what we got here.......

    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!

    THE best spot in town for a Guinness and a burger! Ryan's is still the same Ryan's we all know and love. Just no gaming. (At least when I dropped by today)

    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.

    The Rodeo

    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.

    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.

    Juicy medium rare burger
    Robin B.

    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. If you haven't been, you must check them out, they have been on Wells Ave. for years, my first visit was in 1986.

    Pastrami Sandwich , fries and a Bloody Mary

    Went to yelp to look for a place to sit down and have a pastrami sandwich. The Bloody Mary was awesome and the sandwich delicious. Fries were crispy and the ranch was delightful!

    Buffalo Chicken sandwich with fresh-cut fries.

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 burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. 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.
