Update: the burgers are consistently delicious and the staff is friendly. Try the new chicken tenders specials or the breakfasts too - so good. Great burgers! The burgers were perfectly done, nicely seasoned, and included all the usual toppings. This is a college spot so it probably gets busy when UNR is in session. We will definitely be back, maybe to try the breakfast next time.

Stop in after a long drive. Looked at the reviews and it got us Curious. We came to check it out for ourselves. Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down my go to spot when I drive through Reno. Burger super filling. Super full of flavor and the house sauce, a little spicy for me. but super tasty. Only downside is the burgers are so filling we couldn’t eat our sides.

Definitely geared towards the college crowd but at 930am on a Monday, nary a college student and filled with locals. Ordered a breakfast burger which was HUGE! Came with a fried egg and pineapple slice. Hand formed patty and a nice soft (likely potato) bun. Fries are epic! Fresh oil or tallow or whatever they fry them in these days. Next to campus and according to the menu, great happy hour and other specials for UNR students. I liked that they offer a 5% discount for cash buyers but they also offer a Scan2Pay option so you can use your mobile wallet. Reputation is well deserved.

A great list of food and drinks, beer on tap too. I would say the burgers are phenomenal, but the service and the atmosphere that I felt here unfortunately do not follow it. Oh well, I’d like to review solely for the food that they serve, 5-star period. One another thing, there is no access to the parking from N Sierra St.

The service was fast and friendly. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We're here for a baseball tournament and I will probably be back at least one more day!

I came in curious about the hype and left wondering why I waited so long to try this place. Archie’s is known for their burgers, but their breakfast deserves just as much love. Let’s talk about those Potatoes Ole. Crispy, cheesy, topped with fresh pico… they stole the whole show. I’d come back just for them. I also had the strawberry French toast, bacon, eggs, and a mimosa made with their fresh-squeezed orange juice. Fun fact: they squeeze both their orange and grapefruit juices daily, and it makes a real difference. The only thing I’d tweak? The eggs came as a scrambled mix which is totally fine, but next time I’ll ask for them fried. The staff was so welcoming, the vibe is family-friendly, and they serve breakfast until 2PM which is a win for late risers.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to diner-type food, but it’s clear why this place is a local favorite! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. Four stars because the veggies in the omelet were chopped a bit too large for my liking and the hash browns weren’t seasoned well enough, but to each their own. Better than over-seasoned, that’s for sure. The fresh-squeezed orange juice was TOP-NOTCH. If you’re looking to get away from downtown, but not too far, Archie’s is a great choice!
