Tha Joint offers not only great sushi but also great service and a fun environment. Most sushi restaurants in Reno have one of two extreme feels to them. You have the cafeteria places and the intimate get together places. Tha Joint has an almost upbeat club feel to it that is still cozy due to all the employees being so friendly.
Polar Bear Frozen Treats in Reno is one of Zo and my favorite places to get frozen treats! Zo is a big fan of the Turtle Sundae (hot fudge, caramel, and salted pecans!) and I like trying the flavor of the day! My favorites have been peanut butter with chocolate peanut butter cups, s'mores, lemon pie and chocolate chocolate with fudge! I am sure there have been others I loved but going their most every Wednesday and Sunday makes it hard to remember what all we have had. That is how much we love it, we go almost every Wednesday and Sunday.
Why does it cost so much for a burger I have to stand in line and make myself? Are the burgers good? Yes. Are the servers friendly? Yes. Does that make up for having to pay just as much as a normal burger place for the novelty of making the burger my way? Not really. I could make it at home.
I am not saying that Fudruckers is a bad burger place, I just do not get it. You are paying regular restaurant prices to stand in a line waiting to hurriedly throw together your burger with various items, bumping into others also trying to do the same thing. I think that it would work a lot smoother if they would just increase the condiment tables size. Spread it out a little so that you are not bumping into everyone else trying to pick between the hundreds of choices.
The burgers taste pretty much however you want them to because you make them so I will focus on the patties and buns. They are pretty good, not the best not the worst. They remind me of playground grilled burgers at those big family outings.
What Francis says: If you like the novelty of making your own burger, try it out.
What Zo says: Good burgers for a chain, wedge fries are pretty good kind of made her mad they called her ZoHan.
