| - This was my first time at Zinburger. I heard great things about it and I was looking forward to it. Zinburger was a disappointment for me.
First, the pros: great atmosphere, good selection of delicious sounding shakes, good service. I'm not an alcohol drinker, but the selection of wine and craft beers seemed to be very above average. Really cool salt and pepper combo shaker-grinder!
Now the cons: I ordered the Samburger, a typical 1000 Island burger. The bun looked good, but it was underwhelming. A good bun, for me should be light and soft and airy. This one was thick, dense, hard, cold and untoasted. There was barely any 1000 island on the burger. It looked as if someone put 1000 island on the bun and attempted to scrape it all off with a knife. Lettuce, tomato and pickle were good. Beef seemed like high quality, however the cold, dense bun really ruined the burger as the whole burger didn't seem to have the right temperature. Burgers are expensive, $12-$15 with a side dish costing extra. I drank water, my wife drank a soft drink and we got a piece of pie. After tipping, our ticket was $61.
For the amount we paid, we could have gotten a much better dinner. There are certainly better burgers out there. Go for the atmosphere and get a shake, but know that I've had better burgers at In n Out!
