the best burger
Anne C.

Indulged today in a pepper jack burger at Scoopers: fresh and hot with two patties, melty spicy cheese and a good drizzle of dressing to bring the whole thing together, perfection. A small side of onion rings and a coke to complete my meal, less than $20 including tip. The service was really sweet and fast, considering everything was cooked to order.

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.

Family sized fries

We stopped by Scooper's Kietzke Lane location to indulge in some sweet treats: ice cream sundae, a regular vanilla cone, a root beer float and an Oreo shake plus some drinks and a family-sized order of fries. The restaurant was pretty busy when we walked in hut the guy behind the counter was manning the register and the pick-up window like a seasoned professional. We didn't have to wait very long to receive everything we ordered and we were all very satisfied with each of our desserts.

Inside is spacious

Just had our second visit here. I really like this place. It's not fancy (a restaurant branding and interior design firm could take this place aesthetically to the next level) but Scoopers is always clean and you can tell the food is fresh and prepared well. Our most recent visit was on a Friday night and service was still prompt and it wasn't too crowded inside, plenty of open tables. Scoopers, I really like you guys. Thanks for the good prices, quality burgers, and effort you guys obviously put into maintaining a clean interior. I'm happy to be a reoccurring customer. :)

large, open dining area food was out fast very clean lots of choices for food and drink specials run frequently friendly

Hawaiian burger and a gingerbread shake.
Darla B.

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!

There was a hair on the fries not mine (my hair is long and braided)

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

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

There are a couple places to sit indoors and outdoors, we opted to sit outside. Our cashier, Alex was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I opted for a bacon cheeseburger protein style and regular size of tater tots. The bacon cheeseburger was delicious and the tater tots tasted fresh and were crunchy. The prices are affordable and I look forward to returning when I'm in the area.

My review is based solely on an ongoing parking issue and not on the quality of the products or…read moreservice. The owner of Ruby Shake Shop routinely parks his Audi in the limited public street parking spaces along South Virginia Street directly in front of Raising Cane's, Ike's Love & Sandwiches, and the surrounding businesses. Anyone familiar with this area knows parking can already be difficult, especially during peak hours when people are trying to grab lunch, pick up an order, or make a quick stop. What makes this particularly frustrating is that these spaces appear to be occupied for extended periods of time, often throughout the day, by someone who owns and operates a nearby business. Public street parking in a busy commercial corridor is a shared resource intended to serve customers and visitors, not to function as a personal parking space for a single business owner. This review is not a reflection of the products or service at Ruby Shake Shop. It is simply feedback regarding what appears to be an extremely inconsiderate use of limited public parking in an area where parking availability already impacts customers and neighboring businesses.

Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

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

I'm rarely on this side of town so I never stopped in here. I needed some ham hocks and steak, I…read morewas shopping at Lowe's. Thought I would stop and give this a try. 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
