AnonymousInactiveRonM, they do have rootbeer by the bottle. Many different kinds at that. Try an off peak time. When I went the other day at 11:00, it was a breeze to get in and out. And getting it as take-out, it was still warm and amazing at home.

BonnieParticipantCan you call ahead to pick up your order? Has anybody done that?
May 7, 2008 at 1:14 am #623632
DJSonstengMemberYou can call ahead to order the number is 206/763/1347. It even says so on their menu!

c@lbobMemberWe stopped by for some bunless bacon cheese burgers after work today (jumpstarting some weight loss w/ Atkins.)
SO GOOD!!! Don’t pass up Zippy Burger!. They said the state of rush had settled down a bit, but they still have strong business. If you have to wait, though, it will be worth it, believe me.

WSBKeymasterRonM, we have almost 5,000 homes/businesses reading WSB at least once a day, thousands more who check in at least once a week (I haven’t crunched that number lately but it’s usually into five digits), just in case you really were wondering — TR

addParticipantcatlbob – i don’t usually associate bacon cheeseburgers with weight loss – LOL! Glad to hear the good reviews are still coming in for Zippy’s. Will get there soon!
May 7, 2008 at 2:45 am #623636
charlabobParticipantadd, I never would have made the connection either — until I met the bob half. Atkins actually does work to jumpstart so I figure the more bacon cheeseburgers i eat the more i’ll lose — as long as i don’t eat bread :-)
Zippy’s really is everything folks said — and and more.

RonMParticipantI finally made it inside and it was worth the wait! The owner says that he was overwhelmed by all the response from the WSB and hopes he can live up to everyone’s expectations. He also mentioned that he grinds his own hamburger every morning.
Zippy’s gets my vote and we’ll be back for sure!

barmargiaMemberI finally got there, and the burgers were good, maybe not the best I’ve ever had, but I think what made the experience good (despite the wait) was that the owner was awesome, handing out fries for people to munch on while they waited, letting people know where they were at in the wait, and just constantly smiling. I am glad that there is a place that isn’t a fast food place (like McDonald’s/Burger King) where you can get a burger that doesn’t cost $12.00. I will definitely go back, if not for the burger then definitely for the friendly service…and really isn’t that the hardest thing to come by nowadays?

GinaParticipantI went yesterday, and let me tell you that was a damn fine burger!

JanSParticipantyes, they’re Zipalicious..secret sauce running down your arm – lol…
May 11, 2008 at 1:34 am #623641
addParticipantMy husband just ran over there for some to-go burgers – they are out of fries, onion rings, and the large patties and it’s only 6:30! Seems like things are still going strong for them – that’s great. Haven’t tasted ’em yet, they’re on their way home at the moment! Droooool….

kParticipantjust got back from zippy’s! love it! the royale is a wonder! delicious! the vegetarian in our house was thrilled to see the black bean burger and said it was yummy! so happy to have you guys! we needed you!

HuindekmiParticipantHad my first Zip Burger (w/ cheese) tonight. I can’t say enough good things about this place. THe people are friendly and accomodating and the burger is GREAT. For the money, the only thing better is Jaks during happy hour. Outside of those limited happy hours, Zippy rules the grill.

RonMParticipantGot burgers again today and this time took my wife. Our burgers were superb and my wife was impressed and burgers aren’t her thing. The only burgers she’s experienced until now are the one’s in fast food chains. We both will be going back. Things are better organized now and there seemed to be a much larger volume of patrons ordering by phone and making quick pickups. That helps keep the pressure off the parking and we didn’t have trouble finding a parking place today. BTW – their fries are good too.

wundrgrrrlParticipantDecided today was the day to stop by for a late lunch… and they were packed! The long wait was well worth it. A Zippy Royale and a Number 11 later and we were fat happy cats. Be sure to grab extra napkins – “secret sauce running down your arm” is no joke! I’m sure there will be many cravings for these to come… though next time it will be the ‘lil Zip for me!
June 1, 2008 at 2:48 pm #623646
squareeyesParticipantFriends and I went yesterday…first visit. 5:30pm and closed due to running out of food. …bummer…
June 1, 2008 at 3:22 pm #623647
MrJTMemberDoes this place not have a fridge?
June 1, 2008 at 4:34 pm #623648
RonMParticipantOf course they have a frig! If it weren’t for all of those %&#@$ customers who pack the place they’d never run out of food!
They grind their own hamburger every morning and try to anticipate the day’s business, but when it’s busy they sometimes don’t have enough. Would you rather get weeks old frozen hamburger or stale buns?
It’s worth it to keep trying, their burgers are one of the best I’ve had in years.
June 1, 2008 at 6:50 pm #623649
bunnypugMemberWe finally found them open last Monday. We had a cheese burger and black bean burger with the peppers, french fries and onion rings it was all very tasty-and the best part was the friendly, fun service.
June 2, 2008 at 1:34 am #623650
MrJTMemberThanks for the encouragement RonM, I have been several times around 5pm and they are closed. We figured that this long into it 1. They would be grinding more 2) the crowds would have subsided… But we’ll keep trying..
June 2, 2008 at 8:49 pm #623651
raindance42MemberFYI, Zippy Burgers is closed on Sundays. I didn’t realize that and was in for a sad surprise when, dreaming of real onion rings and thick juicy burgers, we got there to find they weren’t open.
I look forward to eating there in the future!
June 7, 2008 at 2:04 pm #623652
raindance42MemberWell, we finally made it in on Thursday. Around 5:00 it was not too busy and the staff was extremely friendly (and restaurant had not run out of food!) The onion rings (fried fresh for each order) were excellent dipped in secret sauce–I only wished we had more! We also had bacon cheeseburgers, which were juicy and delicious and more than worth the $5.50 each they cost.
June 16, 2008 at 10:19 pm #623653
AdmiralJanewayParticipantI finally ate at Zippy’s this afternoon. My cheeseburger was delicious and the onion rings were very good. I hope they put up a menu board soon. The kitchen took our order before we got to the register and forgot they served milkshakes. Oh well, it’s another opportunity to eat there again.

bcollinsMemberI think they put sort of drug in their burgers to make one like them so much!
I NEED A ZIPPY’S MAN!
