I'm a little surprised by the poor reviews for this Zipp's location. I've visited other Zipp's across the valley and reviewed one of their central locations. Zipp's has been nothing but consistent from my perspective.
Last night, I got to hang out with a former co-worker and he selected the Zipp's at Ocotillo & Arizona Avenue in Chandler. This appears to be a newer location and it's very clean and well maintained. Plus it has the same character and decor as the other locations. Maybe not as many televisions as in Peoria, but still a solid sports bar.
I've complained about a lot of burgers that I've had at "burger joints". I'm not going to do that here because last night, someone in the kitchen cooked me up one of the better burgers I've had in recent memory. I ordered a humble Mushroom & Swiss burger. No one asked how I wanted it cooked, which is fine. I'm accustomed to restaurants killing the burger a second time on the grill due to health department recommendations. My burger (both patties) still had a nice pink color inside. My friend and I agreed that someone in the kitchen knew what they were doing.
And then our server, Hillary, was outstanding. She was friendly, helpful, patient and had great timing! Hillary represented Zipp's well. There is no reason in the world I wouldn't hit this location again the next time I'm in the area. Thanks guys!
