Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Food is pretty high price I paid 17-18 for a bacon cheeseburger,tatortots,and med drink. I do love the food but if I go again i will get the daily special or possible ice cream or something. The employees are always friendly and the ac fells great. The place does need a upgrade but is very spacious."
"I bought the $14.00 shrimp basket and I have to say I was pleasantly pleasantly surprised! It is hard to tell in the photographs but there was a lot of food there and for the price, I thought it was very reasonable. There were roughly 15 pieces of shrimp perfectly breaded, crunchy and cooked all the way through but not overcooked. There were also a lot of fries, I just wish they were crispy but they were still good. The tartar sauce was really good as well. You could tell it was homemade. The cocktail sauce was in a peely top container, factory made, but the fifth ingredient on the ingredient list was horseradish sauce, so there was a little bit of horsey sauce flavor in it, sufficient. All in all I was super happy with this being my first time with a zips drive-thru and I will definitely go here again."
"Best service and for fast food, I love the Papa Joe still on occasion & the Belly Buster Burger when I'm starved. I prefer the tots;) & of course the special treet would be one of their milkshakes or hurricanes. Peanut butter or pineapple, lots of choices"
"Above and beyond. The best people ever, I ordered my meal and forgot my wallet and felt like such an idiot. They were so sweet and they offered to cover my meal and told me I could come back later and pay later. This local chain has a special place in my heart now especially this location. Faith in humanity restored. We’ll be going out of our way to visit these guys from here on. Also the tartar is bomb."
"02/27 update: Zips has the best fast food burgers and fries in town. Their ice cream is also the best. My favorite is the Oreo hurricane. I think the best locations are on Maple/Francis and the one that's on Division by Whitworth. Zips is good but spendy for fast food. The portion sizes are big, in my opinion. I prefer Zips over other fast food places, especially for their burgers and fries. Love that they offer corn dogs!"
"I love going to this Zips. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Food is great. Fast times thru the drive thru. I gotta say your chocolate milkshakes send me to the moon and back. Absolutely love the milkshake."
"I like this zips they are very good i like the papa joes. I liked coming here when the pizza place was next door now it has transformed into hipsterville there now."
"Good service and food late. I used to get off late every night from work and I would go through the drive through and grab whatever they had on sale. Really enjoyed this place. It’s a pretty good burger and fries. they have a couple creative creations. I’ve always had a great friendly young person working the window with a smile even when driving up close to their closing time."
