    Menu in a drive-in stall
    Christine Y.

    Gathered here with school friends to celebrate the end of the school year. Easy to find with the big signage off Prater. Pulled into their parking lot and had lots of stalls which was convenient. Our group kind of caused a back up in the ordering line. It has an old school feel to it and only one cashier to order from. The lady at the ordering window was great and friendly. Lots of menu signs and tons of options to order especially in the ice cream flavors. We enjoyed their Oreo and mango ice cream shakes. Tasty, thick, and creamy! The 12 oz, small, cup was more than enough to enjoy in one sitting. There was lots of seating which made it nice for our group to sit and mingle.

    Bullseye Burger
    Tashina H.

    I love Scoopers! I think the Bullseye Burger is their best burger on the menu. I would rather eat it than In n Out any day! I recommend getting their fries double cooked if you like them more crispy. I also recommend getting any of their milkshakes with fruit. They use real fruit and it is delightful. The gal that usually is working the window when we go is a doll. Her customer service is great! The vibes are a cute retro experience. Last but not least, they also do pup patties aka a patty without salt

    Quarter pounder

    Scoopers was dinner on our lazy Sunday evening. It was pretty busy and I hadn't been here since I was a teenager. I was sad to see you couldn't drive in and order from the speaker anymore, but I get with the area that they may have had to transition for safety purposes. Food is always fresh since it's made to order, so prepared to wait a little. We ordered a quarter pounder, a single cheeseburger, and a kids grilled cheese, onion rings, fries and a Reeses peanut butter and a marshmallow milkshake. We decided to dine in my car since the dining room was pretty packed and it was too chilly to sit outside. We didn't want to wait any longer after receiving our food to eat. Our food was piping hot and delicious. Their onion rings and their milkshakes are two of my favorite things about Scoopers. Their prices to portion ratio is fair. Their deal for a family of 4 is a steal. The service yesterday was outstanding given how busy they were. We look forward to our next visit and trying more milkshake flavors.

    The outdoor sign advertised a special for a single cheeseburger, fries AND shake for $8.50!!!! Who can beat that price??? We ordered that for my teen daughter while my mom and I each ordered the mushroom burger. We also ordered the chili cheese fries. We had no idea that most of their specialty burgers are double patty! These burgers are huge. We easily could have split one. All the burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked. The swiss cheese pull of the mushroom burger shows they do not skimp and the pickles tasted home made/great quality. My daughter loved the single and I would easily order that that as well since I lean towards being a classic burger purist. The chocolate shake was also very good. The chili cheese fries were amazing. I grew up in Metro Detroit which is known for iconic Coney Island chili dogs and fries. This chili was very similar except for Scoopers adds beans. Makes me want to come back and try a chili dog. If you are in Reno skip the boring casino faire and give Scoopers Drive In a try. Easy stop after a day in Virginia City. It was good and we were hungry .....so we forgot to take pics of the food . Menu pics only that does not include that 8.50 special.

    Bacon wrapped and deep fried cheese dog

    I've heard of Scoopers for a long time and we finally stopped by! They have a massive menu with so many options. I went with a hot dog that is filled with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and deep fried! The deep fried part was light and not too much to the point of making it crunchy. It was delicious! The side order of fries is small but they were crisp. It came with a side of ranch which was some of the best ranch I've had in a long time, you can tell it's homemade! I got a small butterfinger shake too which was so good. The amount of milkshake flavors is almost overwhelming, they have something for everyone. My husband thought his chocolate shake was even better than In-N-Out shakes! Not the most healthy meal, but that's not what you come to a drive-in diner for--we enjoyed treating ourselves! We were a bit surprised by the price, it was $50 for us to get a hot dog with fries, a burger with fries for my husband, a kids meal, and two shakes. I would've expected closer to the $35-40 range. Regardless, we still enjoyed our experience here and will likely be returning!

    Small and medium example of milk shakes! Totally worth the price!

    Me and my son love coming here for our milkshakes. He has braces and every time he sees his dentist, they give him a free shake coupon. (counter active I know lol) I love the multiple different sizes they have. Snack sized up to "my boyfriend dumped me and took my dog" size.

    Just ordered milkshakes and root beer floats and

    Just love scoopers line of course was 10 Deep so we pulled in parked and ordered from our phone it was great we waited literally 10 minutes and then went to the side window picked up our drinks and our fries and sat in our car and ate them while the line kept growing so we were done and out of there by the time we would have even gotten to the front window we loved it got to love scoopers

    My husband was craving a classic diner burger and scoopers had great reviews so we decided to give it a try! When we got there, there was no line. You park your car and you order at the window. I ordered a double cheeseburger and my husband ordered the half pound burger. I asked the cashier if she liked their fries and she said yes but well done is better so I said I'll have that and a chocolate banana milkshake. They said they'd bring our food to our car which was nice. We got in our car and waiting like 3 minutes and our food was delivered to us! Such quick service and nice staff members! Our burgers tasted fresh, the fries were perfect saltiness and crisp and the milkshake was the best one I've ever had! Had bits of fresh banana and it was thick and creamy! 10/10 recommend the shakes! They have too many flavors to choose from!

    Cheeseburger was great, milk shake was great, onion rings AWFUL. If I wanted frozen, processed crap onion rings, I'd go to Burger King.

    I'm still going down a long list of burger places to compare. Beefy's is my 5th place to try…read more Local spot with character and plenty of seating inside and out with the combo of bar+bus+picnic tables. Lots of fans including mist fan outside to fight the heat. Bus feels spacious but seating is a bit cramped with tiny metal bench seats. Lots of other options other than burgers (hot dogs, chicken, etc) but come on, what's the name of the place? Service was fast, about 15 minutes to get our burgers but the place was near empty on a weekday mid afternoon after the typical lunch period. Insider tip I got: If the place is even 1/3rd full, be prepared for a long wait (minimum half hour?) I noticed quite a few reviews mentioned the prices were high. And when I got the bill for $60 for two people with tax and tip I might have agreed, at first, especially if my main repeat burger joints were In-n-out/Wendy's/Jack-n-Box. But comparing to those places is not apples-to-apples. It's 1/3 lbs patties here (70% more than the just below 1/4 lbs of meat you get on a Double Double) and quite a step up in meat quality from those chains. About $16+ for single patty burger and $20+ for double, but that also includes fries and a drink. I get the feeling people complaining about the prices have to be burger addicts with the review perspective of a frequent In-n-Out patron which allows getting your "fix" more frequently on the average budget. I would prefer if I could opt-out of the full meal deal for a lesser price and just get a burger. If you get a beer, the included soft drink is redundant or unnecessary. And some may prefer to focus on the protein without additional carbs/calories from the fries. But granted this isn't a place to be counting calories. Burger is high quality all around and they cooked them actually medium rare as ordered. Many places don't give a cook temp option or still overcook. Fries were great, better than the freezer burnt airy texture of In-n-Out. My only criticism is both the fries and the patty had too much salt but not to an inedible point. A common occurrence though given the cook's and/or typical frequent fast food eater's salt-desensitized palate. So Beefy's ties at #2 with The Parlor sitting between my #1 Royce and #3 Archie's, then #4 Juicy's. Armando & Sons and Barrio Burger are next.

    For starters, the food is decent…read more With that said, if you advertise Happy Hour prices, they should be honored. I went specifically for the Happy Hour wings, and when I received the check, the price didn't reflect the amount stated on the menu. I asked to speak with the owner, and instead of correcting it, she told me she gave me a quarter off and, with a smug smile, said, "Thank you very much." Sorry, lady, but your food isn't that great for you to be so confidently rude. In addition, this was my second visit this week. I only returned because my sister loves chicken wings, and because of the advertised "Happy Hour" price, I decided to give them another try. We also ordered a plain burger to go with just cheese, and when I got home, it was loaded with all the fixings, including sauce. I called several times to have the issue addressed, but no one answered. When I told the servers about the situation during this visit, instead of trying to make it right, they gave me a half-hearted apology. So yes, the food might be diner decent, but the owner's attitude and the poor service make the entire experience worse. I've worked in customer service for over 30 years, and not once have I treated a paying customer the way I was just treated. And if they want to respond to this review to justify their shitty service, great. Go for it. I was polite the entire time. All I asked was to be heard, for their advertised pricing to be honored, and for some basic appreciation for my business by simply making things right. Instead, the owner insultingly put two quarters on the table, as if 50 cents somehow made up for the $8-$9 difference we were being overcharged. It didn't. If anything, it made an already frustrating situation feel even more dismissive. And it really was an easy fix. If they couldn't adjust the Happy Hour pricing for whatever reason, she could have easily taken the $18 pastrami sandwich off the bill to make up for both the pricing discrepancy and the incorrect order we received during our previous visit just two days earlier. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I was asking for an owner to recognize that her restaurant had made mistakes on two separate visits and make a genuine effort to correct them. In a city full of burger options, she had an opportunity to turn a negative experience into a positive one and potentially make lasting customers out of my family and me. Instead, she chose to be dismissive, smug, and rude over something that could have been resolved in a matter of minutes. That tells me everything I need to know about how she values her customers.

My husband went with the bison, barbecue burger, and a side of fries, and I had the original burger with my choice of cheeses. Everything was prepared and served hot and fresh! We were offered ranch to go with our fries. I had a house made thousands island type sauce (but way better) to go on my cheeseburger. It was delicious. I asked one of the employees (Sarah) what was in it. She was very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable about all of their house made sauces. I told her that I loved the garlic in the Thousands island style sauce so she gave me a sample of their garlic aioli sauce! If you are a garlicholic like me, this is a must try!! Chefs kiss, for sure! I cannot recommend this location enough! When in Reno, it's a must try! If you go, tell Sarah her perimenopause, Indiana, garlic loving friend said hello!

    Wow! Amazing all the way around!…read more We arrived at 5pm and waited approximately 20 minutes for a table. As we were seated we were offered waters. Our server was pleasant and patient. The ambiance of the restaurant goes hand in hand with bbq. It's bright, clean, welcoming and family orientated. We ordered an appetizer of yummy onion rings which were freshly fried and hot. Before we devoured the rings our meals were delivered lightening fast. I ordered a bowl of delish clam chowder. It was thick and full of clams with an occasional crunch from the sand. The only downfall was I wish it was a bit hotter for my liking but regardless it was perfect. The brisket one meat platter with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes was full of yumminess. The brisket sandwich was so tender and full of flavor. The fries were out of this world and reminded us of the old fashion pic-nik shoestring potato chips. The pickle spear was full of flavor but lacked the crunch. Come eat like a pig...highly recommend!

The chopped pork and brisket were okay, but we thought a lot of the flavor was carried from the BBQ sauce instead of the meat. The decor inside has that BBQ joint feel with some nice pig paraphernalia and Nevafa stuff. Shayla our server was very nice and courteous and made us feel right at home. My only critique involves another server who seemed very chatty with a couple who sat next to our table. She was talking with them a lot. She also made a comment after she noticed me taking photos of the inside saying "you can easily spot out the first timers." I think that's something a server should keep to themselves instead of mentioning it out loud. But that's me. I would've given this review 3.5 stars if I could just for that. But I'm giving it 4 because everything else was excellent. Would definitely come back again.
