    Beef stroganoff for dinner.
    Rob B.

    I just discovered M3 and went here the other night with a some friends for dinner. We were promptly greeted by a kind host who led us a nice booth. Our drink orders were taken quickly while we perused the menu. It's a huge menu so be prepared to take a minute or two to look at it. Our friends each ordered a dinner salad. The salads were so big they gave one of their salads to us to share. It was delicious and full of fresh vegetables. Then came my beef stroganoff. It was piping hot and came with a nice piece of garlic bread. Both were delicious. The serving size was so big I took half of it home with me. The ambience is nice and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely keep going back. I just wish I found out about it sooner!

    AMBIANCE ON POINT

    Prior to walking in I mini panicked, like um are we undredessed? Looks pretty elegantish for Reno prior to walking in. Inside has a very vintagey vibe and is very comfortable and clean. We were seated immediatley and hour order was placed very quickly. SERVICE WAS GREAT!! Calamari: Cooked to perfection. Not to crunchy and not too soft. EXCELLENT Clam Chowder: I would swear that someones Nona is in the back whipping this stuff up. It is hearty rich and delicious. Mushroom Rigatoni: Super yummy, order EXTRA sauce when you get yours, but definitely try it. Noodle Bowl: I have questions.....like real questions. Bland broth, 4 super thinly cut slices of chicken, some veggies and a few extras you can add in. Flank Steak and Fixins: Cooked to his preference and almost precisely which is hard to do, he is super picky. This had a great blend of wine sauce and gorgonzola cheese. Our order has been decided: 1st Place is Clam Chowder 2nd Place Flank Steak 3rd Place was the Calamari Side note: if you like horse radish, TRY IT, WE EVEN TOOK SOME HOME!!! Secondary aide note: We will be back to try other portions of their menu!!!

    Shrimp and Grits

    First time to M3, based on a recommendation from a friend in our group. Casual setting for a professional dinner meet up. Kind and fast service. Expansive menu. I liked: - Artichoke appetizer - Shrimp and Grits Plenty of parking. Something for everyone. Solid restaurant away from the main Reno hub bub.

    If you like salmon do not skip out on the house salad $6 add salmon $10. They also do an herb crusted salmon salad but grilled is the way I go. Interior is nice darker wood and brick walls with rustic accents. A few reserved spots for the restaurant otherwise you'll need to look around the complex for parking. Staff is friendly and artichoke is a solid appetizer. It was a working lunch meeting so no drinks but I would come back to check it out again.

    Our daughter came home for the holidays and we took her here for her welcome back dinner. It is a family favorite! The restaurant and bar are festively decorated right now so it feels nice and cozy at this time of year! It was pretty busy but we were seated at a booth fairly quickly. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed - our drinks (glasses of wine and beer) took quite a long time to arrive at the table-- but we weren't in a hurry so it worked out fine. My daughter and I decided to split a couple dishes-- the Creamy Burrata & Charred Tomato Bruschetta Skillet and the Salmon Sandwich with Napa Slaw. Both met our expectations and were delicious! My husband decided to get the Rachael Sandwich with Clam Chowder and was happy with his order.

    Prime rib stroganoff
    Kit O.

    Loved this place, even if it's hard to find at night! Worth scouting out in daylight. It has a comfortable rustic decor-- brick and wood . Service is friendly and efficient, our party of 11 got water and menus quickly. Four of us ordered the prime rib stroganoff and were very happy with it. Others had fish and chips which, according to them, was okay but not exceptional. One had the flank steak and recommended it. Another ordered the largest house saladI've ever seen. Our waiter was on the spot for refills and removing dirty plates, always a key item for me. My only complaint was that they were out of the key lime pie I'd been looking forward to. I definitely will return and reserve my key lime pie when I arrive!

    Calamari

    This gem is a bit secluded, but is perfect for intimate occasions. The interior is dimly lit for a romantic feel and there is plenty of space. M3 has some unique dishes that I don't see in many restaurants. For example is the stuffed risotto balls that is accompanied by a creamy orange sauce. The outside is crunchy while the inside is soft with some creaminess from the risotto. But they also have classic American fare such as pasta and steak. The grilled flank steak is easy to cut and not gummy like how some steaks can be. The cabernet reduction gorgonzola butter is drizzled on top and pairs beautifully with the steak. The mushroom rigatoni has a classic pasta taste, but the portion is large! I'm hoping that they have some seasonal offers because I think M3 would ace a truffle pasta dish. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

    For a terrific burger of any kind with many variations of fixings and options, try M3. The coconut shrimp and fried calamari were terrific starters shared by all. Plentiful, crispy and tasty! We were four in our party and having heard the burgers were terrific here, we each order a different type of burger, three beef and one lamb. All were impressed with their orders: BBQ Burger, mushroom burger, The Frisco and the lamb. The burgers were prepared as requested ( all medium). The fries and onion rings were delicious, crispy and plentiful. The service was great, friendly, proficient and professional. The ambiance was warm and private (booth) with nice decor. The serving sizes were plentiful even for big appetites. Definitely a place to go again and try other things on the menu.

    Capellini Pomodori, delicious
    Linda F.

    A small place and hidden behind trees in the shopping center, M3 is worth seeking out. There are no prices on the website menu, so I didn't know what to expect. But I was very pleasantly surprised. All the entrees were very reasonably priced, between mid teens to mid 20's. I had the Capellini Pomodori, pasta with fresh basil, fresh tomatoes and toasted pine nuts tossed with olive oil, white wine and loads of garlic. It's a simple dish, but very well made, delicious. The glass of rosé, The Pale, a vin de France, was crisp and delightful with the pasta. That was definitely a bottle that had just been opened. Our server was attentive but not at all pushy. We had a lovely dining experience with friends, 6 entrees, 10 drinks and we each paid just under $50, all in. Not bad for a nice night out

    We come here a lot. Either for special occasions or just for a small family date. Today was aagnificent experience. We had a large party. And I know large parties can be super annoying. They were so patient with us as well as attentive. Always filling the water and trying to even sooth our baby. They tried first with a cherry. She didn't take. Then, tried with oyster crackers. Took she some. She is normally really good when we are out in public, but she wasn't herself today. They took our order. They chatted with us in between orders and pouring wine. Overall food is good, service is great and it feels very much like a family restaurant. Just can't rave enough about that. Of course, we will return and continue to try the vast array of food they have. Note to go early or make a reservation. They are busy every evening and get busier after 530pm.

    Cheers!
    Lynn D.

    It's been a few years since my last review and thought it was time to update to let everyone know how good M3 still is. We spend a lot of Fridays here for their delicious clam chowder. A cup of chowdah and a Sam Adams draft makes me feel like I'm back in Boston. Today we also had the honey dipped fried chicken with honey mustard dip accompanied by fries. Everything was crisp and flavorful-chicken perfectly cooked-crispy outside and juicy inside. Service is always great here-we love eating at the bar-so cozy!

Before you go in, there is signs that says expect a 20 minute wait or more for a burger. If that is an issue for you, this isn't the spot for you. I've gone here a few times. The most recent time with my parents and aunt. I was a bit skeptical taking them to a dive bar for a burger since I wasn't sure how they would react to it. I didn't know until after the meal that they had a whole back section that would have been a lot better of an experience for them. They have a lot of tables and room back there whereas the front is either a bar, one table, or more a a lounge set up. There is also a outdoor area, but it had been a bit windy and sprinkling throughout the day so that isn't an option. I've done the Frenchified burger and the chile burger. Both times i opted for the fries over the chips and feel like I need to try the chips. Burger comes with two patties, a great bun, than the rest is up to you on which you choose. The fries are what I would consider shoe string fries, but maybe slightly thicker. I'm usually not a fan of shoestring fries, but I polished them off easily both times. My parents and aunt are harder to please. They like ingredients that speak for themselves and don't like too much sauces. All 3 of them really enjoyed it and I'm sure they will all be back. They have been looking for a good burger in Reno and I think this was it for them.

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.

We found parking right away. We noticed the large banner outside touting best burgers. Was craving fish and chips, buttttt decided to go with a burger. Ricardo was our server.. we were greeted as we were stepping through the door. Told to take a seat anywhere. Ricardo recommended "any" burger with a smile. I asked whether I should order onion rings or fries, he said order the Texas Toothpicks.. Combo of beer battered onions and jalapeños. Ok let's do this. Richard's must have checked in on us 5-7 times during our meal, great service! Actually we had an entire conversation about his service, friendly, efficient, quick, chatty, and gets the order right! Order Bloody Mary served with banana pepper, green olive and lime.. no salted rim, which is fine, missing salty component for me BECAUSE I LIKE SALT... Drink was GOOD. Bloody Mary and Corona brought icy cold within two minutes. Jalapeno burger and fries son loved his burger! Son felt his burger had appropriate amount of salt and great char crusting. Garlic butter burger and Texas Toothpicks which is beer battered onions and jalapeños. In my opinion this burger starts with the bread.. Delicious soft bun that actually fits the patty. The patty had a nice sear on it, it was under seasoned and almost well done. The burger was lacking salt component to complement the garlic. Had the burger been seasoned, and had I have ordered it medium rare, (my mistake) it would have been really good. The burger did come without condiments which I appreciate because I can put my own in appropriate amounts to my liking. I added a pinch of salt, no complaining and we were good to go! I didn't even eat 1/4 of my food! The burgers and portions were HUGE!! The Texas Toothpicks were really good, a good fry was achieved on them. They held up to being dipped in ranch. 1/2 order hot wings and fries The wings were ordered breaded and hot. They had a good crisp, and were fried appropriately! Good amount of salt. The fries were served super crispy, piping hot and perfectly salted. The order came with carrots and celery without having to ask. Ranch.. Ranch is a serious condiment in our household with food like this. It was good. An appropriate amount was served with wings, and of course for us fries and ranch go hand in hand. The restaurant was clean, all staff was friendly and great service!!!
