Rootbeer Milkshake
Ryan T.

I don't even know how many years it's been since I've come to this place for food. When I was younger it was a favorite place of mine and my friends, today, many years later, I visit it out of nostalgia. I came in the middle of July, so I didn't sit outside due to the blazing heat, instead taking the food and taking it home with me afterwards, but I only saw metal wiring benches, so it probably wouldn't have been the most comfortable, but they did have a huge sun shade over it. I ordered a Double Burger, with fries and a Rootbeer Milkshake, since this place is known for its milkshakes! The cashier was polite when I talked to her and she took my order. Once I got home I was immediately confused as, they don't put your food in plastic holders or anything, they just wrap them in paper which is incredibly bizarre and I've never seen anything like that before! Threw me off for sure. Anyway, the burger was kinda average. Not bad, but rather plain, and the lettuce tasted kinda old or overly wet. The fries were good. Well cooked with good texture and seasoning. Combined with the ranch, they were very pleasant to enjoy! The milkshake however was Easily the star of the show here! I know it's hard to mess up something like that, but even still, it was absolutely delicious! Overall, while I was disappointed with my burger, the rest of it was good enough to save it from a negative review! I'll definitely go back again for a milkshake sometime, and probably some fries again too! Though I don't think I'll be getting their burgers again. Definitely stop by for a delicious milkshake if you're in the area!

Scooper's is our go-to place for snacks and food for lunch and dinner. They offer many options for food and ice cream flavors as well. My lottle's favorite is the cotton candy. Their service is always fast and staff are friendly. This restaurant has remained the same for years. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. Don't forget to download their app for rewards that you can use in the future.

Menu in a drive-in stall

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
Teuila G.

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.

Menu

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
Alicia W.

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

Chili Cheese Fries
Debra S.

I have been here in person, and I know the service is good. So is the ambiance. A nice old fashioned drive in. This review is about a recent order, which I did via DoorDash. It was for my mom. She didn't want what we were having for dinner so I asked her what she wanted. She said a burger and shake. I wanted to review somewhere I haven't done before, so I chose Scoopers. Plus, mom has never tried them. And I wanted her to have the best milkshakes in town! I ordered the Orange Creme because she loves that flavor and it isn't offered anywhere. Scoopers has so many flavors so I knew that was a win. She wanted a small burger, so I got the single. And she doesn't care much for plain fries so I got the chili cheese fries, which made her very happy! I know from past visits that the food is awesome! This time I can compliment the selection choice and how it helps to feed a picky eater! Highly recommend this family friendly place.

Been waiting a long time to try this place. It did not disappoint. Yes these are ~$20 burgers but…read moreyou get what you pay for. Top quality meat and different meat & cheese choices. (Their Classic in my photo is probably their least impressive looking burger.) I ordered medium rare like always at a high-quality joint but I accidentally got someone's medium-well, and after tasting both, I actually preferred the the medium-well as the grind on the rare part of the medium-rare was a little mushier than I'm used to. Probably because most places you order a medium-rare you actually get a medium. Not here. I'd go medium on a return visit. I like they don't overseason the burger with too much salt like a lot of other places. Eaters with palates desensitized to salt due to a lot of fast food/burger eating may find the need to add salt to satisfy their salt craving. The burger sauce is also served on the side and is a bit milder, and more homemade tasting compared to your average burger sauces. This is great because the meat is so good you really don't want to overshadow it with salty seasoning and overpowering sauces. If you're going to dump a bunch of salt and sauce on it, just go to In-n-Out. They also have sandwiches, tenders and chili. If you think about it, a butcher shop deciding to serve cooked food is taking a risk. If the food isn't that great it can affect their meat business. The shop atmosphere is very upscale with high prices to match it like the rest of Rancharra Village. Very limited indoor bar dining and some tables outside. Not sure if the really high prices for the meats and seafoods in the case are worth it, but the saying "you get what you pay for" at least applies to the burgers here. My only suggestion is take a sharpie and scribble the cook temp (medium, medium-rare, etc) on the paper in the burger basket so groups don't get their burgers mixed up. They verbally pointed it out but it's easy to forget by the time you get back to your table with 3, 4, or 6 burgers. Fry basket is a great value, easily enough for 2 people and probably some of the best thick cut fries I've ever tasted with sort of a very light seasoned crispy panko outer texture to them. Updated Reno Burger Rankings primarily on quality/taste but also value is factored in but to a lesser degree: #1 Armandos #2 Royce #3 Beefy's tied with The Parlor #4 Archies Giant #5 Juicy's

The place was quite busy, a little difficult to get attention. But once you get a butcher, polite, and professional, and friendly. Definitely had a good interaction with the butcher or counter professional. I do have to say this place is kind of pricey. From the $150 a pound crab legs to $60 a pound grass fed beef. Even the smoked ham hocks were two dollar pound more than Raley's, which is considered quite expensive to me. However, the personal service here made it worth the extra price as I told the guy I was looking for smaller ham hocks , and he offered to cut them up for me. With the five kids out of the house, we just don't need giant pieces . Since they are already frozen, easy enough to separate the pieces and keep some frozen. I would definitely come back here for a specific items if I'm on this side of town

Called about 15 minutes ahead so I had no wait on a Sunday afternoon. In Midtown you can take your food into the Pub if you want a beer. There are a couple picnic tables outside but don't count on a seat being available. I'm a purist whenever I try a place the first time so got their basic burger with everything except cheese. We also got a Bacon Cheeseburger, no onions. Everything was very good. Even though I complain of too much salt on food 10 times more than too little, if the high quality meat had any seasoning I didn't taste it and didn't care that much. The Chipotle mayo was extremely mild. I actually had to check if there was any. It's the bun that makes the burger and hits the home run. It tasted like it was freshly baked! The fries were perfectly seasoned, for me, but maybe not enough salt for the fast food addicts, like the burger patty. Cute that they include a couple roasted jalapenos. I bet no more than 1 out of 10 people actually eat them. It's on the pricey side ($17-$19 as of Oct 2026) for a food truck burger but not that unreasonable considering the quality. Given the Mexican theme, I was expecting more 'zip' in the taste, even on their basic burger, at least for the Chipotle mayo. Burger 4.5 (bun is a 5) Service 5 (call ahead) Value 4 Total: 4.5 rounded up to a shaky 5, assuming the other more exotic burgers on the menu are a bit better.
