| - I first experienced Zinburger in Tucson, of all places, and I loved it. I went as often as I could when I was in town. It was hands down my favorite place to eat in Tucson, and I was itching for it to move to Phoenix.
On my first visit to Zinburger, my vision of the perfect burger meal shattered. The place itself is wonderfully stylized and the staff are perky (but new), but the food was disappointing. On my first visit, I had a glass of Reisling, and the Zinburger, and my favorite truffle fries. The Zinburger was greasy and the bun was soggy when it came out, and the fries weren't as tasty as I remember them being in Tucson. But since I loved Zin so much, I wanted to give it a second chance.
I met up with a friend for happy hour (wait, no happy hour at a burger and "wine" bar?!) and tried to play it safe with the Plain and Simple burger. The fries were tastier this time, and the server was happy to split the Bananas Foster shake (which was very yum) but the burger just did not deliver. It wasn't soggy this time, but rather... normal. Nothing special. I might as well have been at Denny's.
The staff, on the other hand, seemed very knowledgeable and friendly, but that doesn't change the disappointing food.
I will probably give Zin ONE MORE CHANCE.... I just can't get over how heartbreaking the food is compared to the Tucson one. But I'm not about to drive 2 hours just for a burger!
