| - Stopped in here while out shopping and decided to bring a friend back the following week. The first time I ordered the West Coast Chicken. Everything about it was tasty -- nice size chicken piece, the bun, havarti cheese, tomato, and avocado. I appreciated that the avocado slices were covered by the melted cheese, so didn't slip out whenever I took a bite.
Zinburger is part of the Fox Concept group of local restaurants, and every one is a winner. However, it is pricey. Zinburger specializes in burgers and no sides come with it. The $5-$7 sides are good-sized, and include loaded fires, green chili fries, and sweet potato fries (my favorite), as well as onion rings and mac-cheese. There are also shakes and malts, a little costly for the size.
But the burgers are worth the price. The meat is so fresh, so noticeably different from run-of-the-mill burgers. On the second visit, my friend liked the combination in the West Coast Chicken sandwich, but wanted a burger. The server didn't hesitate to make that substitution. I ordered a small wedge salad and was slightly disappointed that it wasn't really a wedge, but served as a chopped salad. But everything was good and my friend raved about her burger.
The seating area is open and energetic. The bar is fun because, when weather permits, one side is open to the outdoors, so seating is almost all around the bar.
Zinburger is located in Gilbert's Heritage District, in an area with many good restaurants and plenty of parking.
