I am a long-time patron of Zipps. I've been here a couple times a month for 8 years. So, right around 200 times. I'm a lifetime $10K+ contributor to Zipps. I used to just love it. The food was stellar... WAS. But now I'm hesitant to rate it at 3 stars. And I'm sadly nostalgic for the 4-star visits in the rear-view mirror.
Zipps has been in steady decline over the passed 2-3 years. Sometimes you continue to go to iffy places because they are part of your circle's social rhythm. That's me and my circle with Zipps. Then Zipps started letting me down with their food quality, letting me down consistently. So much so, that Zipps ought to be one of my pallbearers when I died so they can let me down one last time.
It started with the Chicken Skewers years back. Those went from succulent tasty morsels to smaller rubbery lumps of disappointment. Then the burgers started to drift south. The pizza is awful, but it always has been. So the pizza is not a factor in my review. The challenge lately is eating something that doesn't make my, mostly iron-clad, stomach hurt.
My advice: Stick with the wings. They have been the shining beacon of delicious consistency in both taste and texture. Can't go wrong with the Zipps wings. We get them extra crispy.
Wings and salad. Those things are mostly safe.
What about the service? It's been exceptional in the past. Over the last few years the signature aspect Zipps service has been tired, overworked servers. What are you gonna say? I just wish it was different.
Gonna stay clear for a while.
