| - We have been coming to this location for almost a year now. Not only is there a happy hour M-F 3-7 but they also have nightly specials from 8 to close. On weekends they have "hangover specials" from 11-4. I could go into detail for what days have what specials but there are just so many, the website gives a full listing.
I have tried many different items here and I can't say anything has disappointed me. Last night I had the Black & Bleu burger and it melted in my mouth with the most amazing flavors. I must say it's now my favorite burger there, replacing the mushroom swiss. My boyfriend never strays from the Sweet Jalapeno burger, which you can ask for fresh jalapeno on the side to add to your liking.
The focaccia's are very interesting and wrapped in a sort of thick pita bread and sliced into pieces like sushi, sometimes in two halves. I've had the Monaco, Buffalo, and Philly Cheese Steak - all quite delicious. The Philly takes the lead with the hot pepper assortment.
Pizza slices are pretty good, thin crust and light sauce. They have a special on tacos Wednesday nights that come in a 4 pack, you can pick all chicken, all beef, or half & half. Warning - MESSY, but also satisfying, too greasy for my taste but that's how they are supposed to be, it is bar food after all.
On Friday nights they have fish on special and you can have a sandwich, fish & chips, or the tacos. I've had the sandwich before and loved it, but 3 shots of jager on special and beer may have helped my taste buds! Mozzarella sticks are made differently than you expect, but make you crave more in such an evil way (battered cheese hello waistband.) The wings are some of the best in the area, full of meat and any choice of sauce you'd like. We get the golden hot, the sweetness is addicting.
Side choices are simple fries, onion rings, or a salad. The fries are decent, I order mine well done because I like a crunch. Usually I will get a salad but I would suggest ordering it in another basket because they put it right next to your burger if you don't, and I like oil & vinegar dressing (which resulted in a semi-soggy foccacia one night that the manager graciously took care of.)
Desserts are brownie or cookie in a skillet, with ice cream on top. The also have the classic Root Beer Float.
One of our favorite things about this Zipps is our top of the line waitress, Tische. Somehow we end up sitting in her section most of the time and have become her regulars. Always a great attitude, funny and caring. Even if she isn't waiting on us during a meal she will stop by to see how we are doing.
Overall just a great place to eat and have a chance to try the wide menu with all the specials. We went to one other location and it was less than impressive, the service was slow and the food didn't live up to what we have come to love here.
The only SMALL suggestion I have is to add a good coleslaw to the side choices, it's one of my favorite things to go along with a tasty sandwich.
Anyone who didn't like a certain dish they ordered, try again with something else! They don't cook bad food, some people just have different tastes =)
