    Pretty good chicken wings
    Tommy J.

    Just decided to try this place again. It has a great delivery service that doesn't really cost much extra. It's worth tipping the driver. We have been working in our yard doing a lot of yardwork and didn't feel like going out. A nice bonus was the website said it would be 45 minutes for delivery and I think they delivered it within 20 minutes. What we ordered: Chicken wings Sweet potato fries Burger w/fries They do have good burgers. Kind of reminds me of the old A&W. Although this time the burger was a little more smashed than I like. Really nice size chicken wings, and the flavor was good. The only issue I have with this establishment besides it's a little pricey for a double burger and fries ... there tater tots, sweet potato fries, and french fries are not consistent. Three visits and each time one of the starches was undercooked. The first time was tater tots, they were mushy and oily. The second time I went in and sat at their table had a burger and fries and fries run cooked. The manager/owner was there and I brought them to his attention. I told him I didn't want any compensation as I was full, but I showed him the fries were not cooked. On this delivery, the sweet potato fries were mushy. If they could fix this issue ... even though it's a little pricey it's better than driving all the way to town for a burger.

    I had to go to Lemmon Valley today came across Roy's burger shack stopped there and we both got a kids cheeseburger. It came with lettuce, tomato really good pickles and you could've had onions too along with 1000 island dressing. Trust me. This was really really good. Very small little restaurant very clean people. There were very nice and explained everything so it said happy adventure with a great cheeseburger and fries you need to go out there and try this place.

    Heard about this place on Facebook, people were talking about how it's one of the best burgers in town, I gotta say they're right. The location is true to the name it's a small burger shack. Service was friendly, which is always great. We ordered two Roy's burgers, mozzarella sticks and some onion rings. The burgers were tasty! Hands down one of the best we've had in the Reno and north valleys area. The meat was actually seasoned, not dry but juicy full of flavor, veggies were fresh and crisp and the thousand island sauce brought the burger together. Totally recommend this one if you haven't tried it already! Onion rings tasted great, fried to perfection and not soggy like some Places serve them. The mozzarella sticks were also delicious and crisp. Overall I'd say if you're craving a burger without a long wait (took only about 10-15 minutes for all our food to come out) then this is the place for you. Menu is simple and to the point but what they do have they do it well.

    I've seen many ads for Roy's Burgers and decided to take a drive out there today. It's off of Lemmon Drive. It's a very tiny spot with six tables. Two employees in house today, a friendly counter person and a cook. The menu is limited but we went for the burger. We were allowed to order the child's burger as were seniors and can't eat a giant sandwich. And the child's burger with a basket of fries was more than plenty for us. The fries are delicious and they were generous with them. They're served with a side of ranch. The burger is on a fresh brioche bun and had lots of fresh toppings. You can choose what you want but I went for everything which included thousand Island dressing, tomato red onion lettuce and lots of yummy pickles. And cheese of course. The burger was very good and we were surprised at how tasty it was. They offer also a Philadelphia steak sandwich, couple other items that I probably would like to go back and try. Everything was served in about 5 minutes. The drinks are a selection of soft drinks in a refrigerator case. There are no fountain drinks. Overall great lunch today and the price was $14 for the child's burger which is the size of a normal burger at a lot of fast food places and the fries.

    Roy's Grill in Lemmon Valley off of Lemmon Drive. Check them out. The food is excellent! Julie A

    Roy's Grill is a brand new Hidden Treasure just off of Lemmon Drive in Lemmon Valley. The burger and fries were Five Star, customer service from Chef Letty was outstanding. Roy's Grill is a very simple little restaurant but I can say that the food speaks for itself! Excellent! This burger was so big I had to take it home! Loved it! Come and try Roy's Grill. I think you will love it as much as I do. Julie A

    We don't have a lot to choose from out in the north valleys area so I wanted to give this place a try. I ordered online for a pickup order.They had it made and ready to go within ten minutes, which is awesome! The burger was good and pretty filling, it was big! Next time I'd like to try the wings. They had their garment cleaner there when I arrived who threw the bag of dirty stuff out the door as I was walking in nearly hitting me. Maybe using the back door for that would be a better choice. Also since the building joined to a bar, the restaurant smelled like cigarettes

    My dad heard of this place on Facebook and wanted to try it out. I thought not much about until we went. This hole-in-the wall joint is awesome. The service was great and very nice. The food was fantastic with it definitely hitting the spot on a quiet holiday. If you need a good burger that will fill you up this is the place to go. The Philly Cheese Steak according to my day was pretty good bun and all. I really hope that this place goes into a major restaurant in our area

    Patty melt with fries
    Autumn R.

    Contrary to other reviews, we were super satisfied and happy with the food and wonderful staff. Visited on Monday, ordered the mushroom Swiss, patty melt and a side of onion rings. Everything was wonderfully cooked and served. Very happy with the portion sizes and taste of everything overall. We will be back for certain, great little "shack" in Lemmon valley.

    Had the western burger, the meat was cooked well, ant barbecue sauce had a good bite to it, most enjoyable. The shoestring fries were okay. Will be back and trying more of the menu.

    Mushroom Swiss
    Mariana G.

    We came here pretty late and wanted to try something other than the typical fast food places in Lemon Valley. Nova was the only one cooking but MANNNNN can she cook! Definitely worth the wait. We got the mozzarella sticks, one Roy's burger and one Mushroom Swiss. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor was amazing. Nice little hole in the wall. You don't want to miss out!

    Great crispy chicken wings , nice size . Shoe string were good . Service was great, small cozy setting

    BLT with regular fries
    Thomas C.

    Contrary to what I've been reading about this place, it's just plain GOOD! My wife and I agreed we had to know for ourselves so we grabbed lunch here today and were impressed by the cleanliness of the everything. Ordering was easy and food was quick. Packaged nicely too. Hope it's not too gross to post half eaten food but man it smelled so good! We shall return! TBH I hope this helped local folks because I'm from a small town so a good grill hits the spot. Our first trip was a success. Thank you Roy's. *Rating 4 stars because of lack of sauce options. They may have but we were not offered.

If I was the owner I would be proud to have her as my employee. Now on to the food. It's next to canes so it's hard to not compare the tenders and bread. Canes has better bread but that's it. This place has good tenders, hot dogs and burgers. They also have shakes and some other items. I have tried most items on the menu and the only thing I didn't care for was the toast. Everything else has been delicious and fresh tasting. The quality of burger is so much better the a lot I have tried.

There are two levels to the restaurant, and we dined on the second floor.

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

I had a craving for a smash burger (like Nola Sliders) and this was one of the few places open at the time. I didn't have a bad experience, it just wasn't what I hoped for. While the burger tasted fine, it was not a smash burger. I'm not sure if they used the wrong meat, but the burger patties did not have the thin, crispy, seasoned edges that you would expect. It was more along the lines of frozen burger patties that you get from Costco. While those make a great option for the cookout, it doesn't quite work for smash-style patties. The saving grace was that the fries were super crispy! The staff are friendly and the lobby is simply 4 chairs and 2 small tables to wait for your order. The ambiance doesn't really have an inviting vibe. The menu seems a bit jumbled - almost like they aim to be a jack of all trades but a master of none. It wasn't the slowest service, although, I would hate to see what would happen if they had 10 orders in the kitchen at the same time. I would advise giving this place a shot when you have some time to kill.
