    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.

    Another visit to the Spot, one of our favorite casual downtown riverfront restaurants!…read more Came in for a dinner on Tuesday evening before a show at the Pioneer Center. It wasn't very crowded and our server grabbed our drink orders before we sat on the patio to help expedite the process. They always have a good selection of drafts and my wife was excited to find a sour beer was available. Our server was quick to grab our order, we overdid it a bit in hindsight :) We ordered the firecracker shrimp appetizer, the Wedge Salad, and the Chicken Gyro with Fried Pickles. Everything was great with the exeception of the fried pickles, which I wouldn't recommend. Too much fry, not enough pickle IMO. The Gyro meal itself would have been enough for both of us, but still glad we enjoyed the full spread. Can't go wrong at the spot, I will be back again soon!

    Had a chill Saturday with my husband and decided to take a walk to this place (from el dorado)…read more It used to be a seafood spot so I already knew wha to expect with the atmosphere and the river view. What I didn't expect was the food to be this great. Yes, it's bar food but it's upscale bar food. We enjoyed everything no complaints at all. My husband got the fish and chips, he said it was a little oily but had lots of flavor and wasn't dry. I ordered the double smash burger and it surpassed my expectations with flavor. Great burger for sure. Our server was great and patient with all my beer questions and found one that I really enjoyed. We will definitely be back!
