Scoopers is a Reno institution. I've been visiting here for ages, and their ice cream and milkshake game is absolutely legendary. As far as soft serve goes, it really can't be beat. Scoopers is your classic old school greasy burger joint offering diner classics in addition to an absolutely massive list of milkshake flavors. You order at the counter, and they'll call you up when your food is ready. They have a large dining room with plenty of room to eat with a large group or on your own. The food here is ok. Their meal options have never blown me away, so on this latest visit, we just grabbed some sweet treats. A Dr. Pepper float, a fresh banana milkshake, and a couple of vanilla soft serve cones. The ice cream lives up to expectations. Move aside, McDonald's- Scoopers has a WORKING ice cream machine, and it's BETTER! The ice cream is so creamy, and the cones are huge. The fresh banana shake has chunks of real banana. Is there better ice cream out there? Sure. But for inexpensive soft serve in that classic diner environment, Scoopers is great. And if you're feeling it, grab a burger too. read more

The lady taking orders was kinda rude. We took my family of 8 to enjoy a late lunch on Sunday 3/15 around 2ish I'd say. Two hours later on our way home all the kids just started violently throwing up. I don't know if it's because the food literally took 10 minutes to come out and wasn't hot at all. Or what. But 0/10 read more

Wow! This place is actually pretty good! The outside is very unassuming but inside it's fairly big and spacious. We came on a Friday afternoon during Spring Break and a line quickly formed behind us. The family pack is a great deal at $24.99 for 4 burgers, 4 fries, and 4 sodas-- plus you can upgrade to a shake for only $2 more per each drink upgraded. My husband loved his French dip; best French dip he has had in Reno. We are in love with the value and flavors here! read more

Eating at Scoopers is either a hit or a miss and unfortunately, our recent visit was a bit of a miss. We ordered a Matterhorn burger, two Bad Dogs and a couple of fries plus drink. My brother enjoyed his Matterhorn burger and we all liked the fries, albeit a little over-salted, but the Bad Dogs we ordered seemed a little charred. I don't know what it is about the hotdogs at Scoopers but the cook like to cremate the heck out of them. The service always good over at Scoopers, they've increased the prices but the portion sizes is still satisfying; they haven't gone the McDonald's route yet; if only they can cook a decent hotdog. read more

Hair in fries. Got taxed on cold ranch. .75 cent for one regular size ranch cup came out to .81 cents for ranch cup is ridiculous. I have never been taxed on purchasing condiments. Food is good but service and employee mannerism is terrible. Especially the cashier today Saturday 11:35 am read more

I'd never stopped here before but for sure I will come back again and again. Conveniently located south of the shipping center that has Savers and Joanne Fabrics, alas Harbor Freight is gone. But this center is south of all those places, hard to find a parking spot. Maybe due to time off day? Beauty school? Record shop? Anyway, well worth the tour around the lot to find a space. My Hawaiian burger had pineapple and bacon and cheese and it was cooked to perfection! It was REALLY hard to decide what shaker to get but I made a good choice! Gingerbread. ESP with the Holly Daze coming! read more

Looking for a simple, diner milkshake - this is the place. Very quick service, fabulous flavour, plenty to choose from and reasonably priced. You can find a better shake in town but you'll pay for it. This is hands down best shake for the price!!! read more

Burger was good. Shake was good. Onion rings were burnt and nowhere Was this meal worth the $30 I was charged for it. First time I went here I got the same thing and it was only about $18. read more

I went back with my husband. I still live their food, restaurant cleanliness and vibe. Where we struggle is how difficult the menu is to decipher. I swear we ordered a double burger which I was told was two 1/4 lb patties as my husband's. His looked to be two 1/8 lb and mine two half pound. I tried to explain my concerns to the guy taking my order to no avail because he seemed to be in a rush. I did talk with another guy after we received our food and he said to let him know next time what we want and he would make sure it happens. The food was good, so Hopefully next time we can figure it out. read more

Solid spot. I've been to the drive in one both are pretty decent. Banana shakes are bomb read more

Scoopers - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I will forever recommend Scoopers to anyone that I know. I have been a huge fan since I was little. My grandmother used to take me to grab a milkshake and cheeseburger in her 1977 Monte Carlo. It was always one of our favorite things to do together, and I continue the tradition still. The burgers are SO good! And everything else too if I'm being honest. There really isn't one bad thing on the menu. Today, I had the Sgt. Cheddar burger with crispy fried onions, bourbon sauce, pickles, tomato, and shredded lettuce. I am so happy that exists on the menu because I cannot stop ordering it, along with the French fries that are almost perfect every time. They can be a little too salty at times, but they're still really good and salt can be dusted off. The service has gone through its ups and downs over the years at both locations, but for the most part they have had great people on staff. One of my favorite things about Scoopers has always been the classic soda signs and other artwork around the walls of each location. Always something cool to look at. read more

Definitely the best milkshakes in town. There are so many flavors and it's just the right consistency. But, I wasn't as big of a fan of their food. I got the chicken sandwich which was greasy and falling apart. Onions rings were just okay. Burgers looked better than my sandwich, should have probably gotten that. read more

Actually a pretty juicy burger. Got the Sgt. Chedder with an extra patty. Definitely enough meat, no need for the extra patty. Great tasting burger. Burger was pink on the inside but unevenly cooked. Raw towards the edge. Wife got the bacon burger. The Matterhorn I believe. Another taster choice. Chili fries were pretty good too. Service was good. I do want to say that they closed at 8 and we got there at 7 so I don't know if our food was rushed on the grill or what but my burger could use a little more time on the grill. Also they stopped taking orders at 7:20ish-7:30. Man there has to have been a total of 10-12 people that couldn't put there order in due to coming in after that time. I get closing on time but I would have to say that there was definitely money left on the table. Not my restaurant, not my problem but just some things that I noticed. read more

The service could be a lot better. I don't know. It seems like they're a little high or something other than that. Ice cream is great. Need new service.

This restaurant is amazing. The BIG AL burger is all you need, but dont forget a drink to wash it down

Came here for the first time hearing about how great the pastrami sandwiches are. But I decided to give their chili dog a try, and it was great! The staff was very friendly and quick to make my order. The food is all made fresh, and they have great milkshakes! Price isn't bad, either. It can get busy during lunchtime, but we were in and out pretty quickly! Next time I go, I'll try the Pastrami! read more

I stopped for a milkshake. The staff was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and inviting. The milkshake was delicious.

Great milkshakes, tons of topping options, quick service and very clean restaurant. Would come try again next time we are in town.

Great burger ! Everything was hot and made to order! Break, meat cheese hot! Delicious! I like the thick onions. The scoopers sauce was great! The price wasn't too bad for inflation the way it is. The meat was fresh ! Gotta have fresh meat for a great burger. I'm very picky so the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was that I could tell the meat was starting to age ,,, might have been last day so they were clearing up the fridge . Great burger! Passion in the making. Thank you! read more

Food was great! Loved it as always! The ladies behind the counter are always so great! We love the sparks location!

Tried to get some dessert and there was a sign on the door that they closed at 6pm. Website shows 8pm.

A friend and I ate there today, first time I had eaten there in a long time. Old school food and dinner.l just loved . No doubt, I will frequently eat there more often. read more

Really craving an old fashioned burger, and didn't want to drive too far.. Line was 5 in front of me on a this late Sunday.. Happy to see tacos and burritos on the menu.. Prices are decent, and I enjoyed my sundae. For the burgers, they were missing some seasoning, but the fries were decent. Glad to see all the milkshake flavors.. Hard to compare to my go to burger spot in West Sac.. Glad to stop by. read more

My husband and I came here yesterday for lunch. What a pleasant experience! We were greeted immediately upon entering and, after looking over the menu and being wowed by the number of shake flavors available, I ended up ordering a chocolate malt and a Veggie Burger while my husband ordered a Polish Dog. The man taking our order mentioned that they may be out of their veggie patties so he went back to check. Luckily, they had a few left! He told me he was having a hard time finding the veggie patty brand they have been using. After attending a "burger show" and tasting a wide variety of veggie burgers, he liked this particular brand the best because he thought it appeals to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Our food was ready in no time! My shake so delicious that my husband, who didn't order a shake because he was trying to be healthy, could not resist having much of mine. He liked his Polish Dog and I really enjoyed my Veggie Burger. I sure hope they are able to secure more of them! read more

Scoopers - Enjoying my Chocolate Malt!! - Burgers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

As I was standing waiting to order, I observed a lady in the back with no gloves on her phone, wrapping the hotdogs and bacon, and then going back to her phone and using it, and then going back to the hotdogs and wrapping it with bacon without sanitizing or washing her hands. And the lady at the front counter was extremely rude. When I told her about it she laughed and said that's how they food prep. I told her that's disgusting and she said then don't eat here and please leave. I was already going to and did. WOW! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! read more

We were headed to Recycled Records and had read on their yelp review about Scoopers. So after scouring the vinyls we popped in next door. Scoopers is very clean and inviting, with a huge milkshake menu! So excited to try an unusual flavor, I opted for gingerbread - my hubby tried Butterfingers. Both flavors were amazing! His was slightly sweeter, (like him) but I preferred mine. Don't overlook this spot, especially in the summer time! read more

Scoopers - So excited to try a milkshake from Scoopers! I ordered gingerbread milkshake... Stay tuned. - Burgers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Ordered 5 burgers, 4 sides and 3 shakes- We were handed ONE bag with not a single word said to us. I was skeptical all the food would fit in one bag so I checked- of the 5 burgers we ordered, we received none of them. We got one burger that wasn't even remotely close to what we ordered, its doesn't even look like it could qualify as a single. We asked the employee if we could substitute any of the burgers and she said "well do you have the supplies? We are out of everything we dont have patties or buns or even ketchup" yet there were people still ordering burgers after us. We walked away disgusted at her behavior and so disappointed in the restaurant in general. The shakes were fine, definitely not the best I've had from them. The onion rings were overcooked and burnt. The fries tasted like they weren't fully cooked and were soggy and unsalted. read more

My family and I were in Reno this past weekend to celebrate my hubby's birthday. We had reservations at a puzzle Room and saw this restaurant next door. I was kinda intrigued since it served not only burgers but tacos and nachos, all kinds of hotdogs, sandwiches and other things. On top of that, they have an array of milkshakes and ice cream cones. Obviously, I yelped it and was pleased to see so many positive reviews so we decided to have lunch there. I am happy we did because it was really good. Here is what we had: Bulls Eye Burger: 1/2 lb. double swiss & american, bacon, 2 onion rings, bbq & thousand island Matterhorn: 1/2 lb. with swiss & bacon Super Nachos: Meat, beans, nacho cheese, grated cheddar jack, tomatoes, olives & sour cream Each burger was really juicy and dripping off our hands, kinda messy but delish. The nachos were good but the meat was a tad but too salty for me. But hey, throw a little more sour cream and it was fine. Their milkshakes were nice and thick full of flavor. I think next time we will try other things on the menu including an ice cream cone or two. We will definitely be going back, and I suggest you try it out too. read more

What a treat this was to have for lunch! I remember growing up and eating at Scoopers in Sparks, so was excited to try the newer location. The service was fast, food was great, and I really enjoyed how much room there was inside. Still the same great options, good portion sizes, & fair prices. Clean environment with much parking available outside! read more

Saturday was my first time visiting this location. There was only a handful of other people there so we were able to order right away. For food we only ordered a plain cheeseburger and french fries for my daughter, both were pretty tasty. Their ranch is on point for dipping fries! The staff were all very kind and quick. The restaurant is very open and has plenty of seating. It is also kept very clean. We had a party of 8 of us and were able to push two tables together. Once the rest of our party ordered food/milkshakes it didn't take long to come out. Scoopers has always had incredible milkshakes and so many flavors! Highly recommend! read more

Went by Saturday afternoon. Average burger . Used to be better Maybe i got them on a bad day read more

I heard from a friend that Scoopers was better than In-n-Out so I had to check it out. Not that I'm a big In-n-Out fan - I like it but I also know that it is incredibly mediocre - but because this friend of mine mentioned it beat out one of the most popular hamburger chains. After some fellow foodie testimony I just had to experience it for myself. For those of you who don't know, I always base my reviews on my ABC rating system, which covers the three main pillars of excellent dining/drinking experiences: 1) Ambiance, 2) Business, and last but not least, 3) Cuisine/Cocktails! With my ABC rating system you are guaranteed to get a good rec every time you read my reviews. So, without further ado, let's get into the review! Ambiance: *** The inside of the establishment was clean and there were not very many people there that day (even the cashier had said that it was slow that day). There was a lot of 50's and 60's decor - lots of food and soda brands. It looked something like a cross between a 50's/60's and modern diner, definitely an interesting vibe. There was music playing in the background and there was not a whole lot more going on here. The only reason I settled on three stars for this category was because there was nothing negative to do with the ambiance. Business: *** I don't know if I just happened to visit on one of their off days but there was only one ning the whole show - doing the prepping, cooking, cleaning, order-taking, and cashiering. Through no fault of his own, the establishment was certainly lacking in these important areas. This caused service to be slow and quite impersonal. I also found the pricing to be unreasonable - the cost to make a combo with a large side and drink was more than the cost of the burger itself! What kind of craziness is that? Meal: Pastrami burger, 1/4lb single cheeseburger, side of fries, side of onion rings, Diet Coke float. Cuisine: *** I found Scoopers to taste a whole lot like Beefy's in Midtown - flavorful enough with major faults. The downfall at Scoopers is in one of its main attractions - it's burgers. It too, like In-n-Out, was incredibly mediocre, only with more options. The burgers were not too greasy and the condiments were not in excess but the patties were fatty and it was obvious that the majority of flavor was derived from the meat fat. The fries were tasty and crispy, as were the onion rings. The Coke float was underwhelming, which makes me wish I had tried one of their shakes since so many reviews rave about them. For that reason, I'm going to have to try one next time I go. All-in-all, Scoopers is a good place to grab a burger and fries if your best options are McDonalds or In-n-Out. While it would not be my first choice for burgers, it was definitely good enough to warrant me going back there. Final rating: 3.0 read more

Went to scoopers since my bf wanted to get stop by. Now usually the food is always amazing and the customer service is good! But It turns out at this location it's just a bunch of middle age men working with attitude of teenagers (specifically the old guy with the gray hair) i felt rushed to order and he projected the energy of not wanting to be there, but anyways I got a MatterHornberger plain, which is my usual go to, except this burger only had two strips of bacon, 1 piece of cheese, and two very sad patties. Other than that I guess the pace of service was decent, but they rushed it too fast. I feel like they skipped up on the quality of the food. Very disappointing, but I'll live. read more

I forgot it was Taco Tuesday! We ended up heading to #Scoopers @scoopersdrivein on Kietzke because this is the way. Ordered the Al Burger, which is a three patty dazzling & tall burger, then added 2x bacon and mushrooms to make it "The Epic Burger". As you can see on the other pics, it's highly photogenic. #foodporn Finished off with a orange flavor twist cone. Best shakes in Reno, they probably have 500+ different options with 35+ flavors. Satisfaction level 100%. Every single visit. read more

32oz milkshakes? Say whaaaaaat! Only at Scooper's! Now I'm not sure if they've been serving up big boys like these for the last 42 or so years, but I like to imagine it's place on today's menu is holding space for the olden golden days of "A milkshake and two straws please!", just adding to the amazing nostalgic vibes here. The craving for a shake hit us after shopping small business Saturday, and there was only one place that could fill it. So we made our way here from Midtown just ahead of dinner time and got a 32oz chocolate malt with two straws for us to share. We ended up sharing a straw, but we also shared the shake. The size left us enough to enjoy then and another night for dessert! While it would probably be way too easy to take this down by yourself, I strongly suggest against it. This is a serious shake! They have 50 other flavors too, not counting the combinations you can create, so go get one! read more
