I've been a fan of Zipp's for years. I appreciate it for what it is. Good pub food, cold beer and games on the tube. Not bad.
I've enjoyed most of the focaccias I've tried but typically get the chicken with an extra side of the garlic mayo. Burgers are good. Wings are good. Fries and onion rings are great. And love the cookie skillet.
So I was quite surprised yesterday when we found ourselves with some time to kill nearby and our Zipp's Arcadia experience was completely underwhelming.
Beer was still cold but the chicken focaccia was flavorless, as seemed even the garlic mayo??? And the fries and onion rings were limp lukewarm. It even seemed that the beer batter was way off with a chalky touch.
While I don't have high expectations for Zipp's, nothing crazy, I was still completely let down. Though I expect to spend a great deal of time this coming year right next door, I will take the extra time to choose and travel to a better nearby spot. I'm sure I'll give this location another chance in the future but not for a good while. Disappointed.
