Blue bear

Good food with some unique options. I think it was a little pricy for what you get , but still good. The people working there seemed flustered and rushed. We ate outside and had to search for condiments, like a scavenger hunt . The bathrooms were nice and clean

This feels like a new place in garden city. There is inside and outside seating. The line was long but they had the best raspberry shake yet! The Navajo tacos don't have any beans and are served like an actual taco. It's not what I was expecting or what I think of when I think of Navajo taco but it was OK.

Gyro, tri-tip sandwich, fries, and fry sauce

Delicious food and wonderful service! We're from TX and the BBQ is on point! The gyro and fries were delicious as well, as was the homemade fry sauce.

Gluten free bread burger.

Delicious food! Friendly, kind, generous service. When the shake places in Bear Lake have lines down the street, this was the perfect place to get dinner! A shady place to sit and a yummy gyro. They even had gluten free bread for my dad.

Great customer service, good gyros, delicious fries, chicky nuggies were "the best I've ever had" according to my 7 year old nephew. A refreshing alternative to the burger and shake places. Taking off one star due to styrofoam containers. Otherwise, highly recommend!

Tacos on the left and gyro on the right. Nummy!!!

The fries are great. Chicken sandwich was awesome. And the raspberry shake was way over the top. for me.

This is definitely one of the more popular places to eat around Bear Lake. The decor and atmosphere…read moreis fun. Lots of outdoor seating. I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries and it was delicious and filling. I also loved how they have tons of different sauce pumps out so you can pick which sauce you want to go with your meal. The service was pretty quick even though they were busy. The raspberry shakes are amazing! You can't even mix flavors, so I ordered a raspberry Oreo shake and it was fantastic! I would for sure visit here again next time I'm visiting Bear Lake.

Zipz is located in the downtown area of garden city next to labeaus and basically every other restaurant. We ordered a raspberry Oreo shake, chicken strips, fries, onions rings and the bacon cheeseburger. The shake came out quickly and the food was quick to follow as well. They have a variety of sauces available that you can help yourself too. While it was busy the food does move fast so we had no issues grabbing a table. The shake was good, the chicken strips were huge, the fries and onion rings were delicious and the bacon burger was great. We went to La beaus the following day to compare and all agreed we would choose zipz over La beaus! 1000% worth a visit for food and shakes!

I had a few special requests due to me sharing my burger with my dog and they did not disappoint. The shake was really good. Blended well. I had raspberry and Oreo cookie. It would've been nice to taste a little more raspberry in the shake. They pride themselves on using fresh raspberries and that is the reason. Fresh fruit mixed with dairy tampons the tartness and dulls a lot of the sweetness.. I believe macerating some raspberries and sugar and finishing with some fresh lemon zest or even a little lemon juice and adding that to the fresh raspberries would knock it out of the park. I put it on the floorboard so my dog wouldn't get at it and accidentally knocked it over. It was so thick that only the huge amount that sticks out of the cup touched the floor mat. Awesome!!!!!!! I got the biggest burger they had. A half pound with two kinds of cheese and pastrami burger. It wasn't called a pastrami burger so I'm not gonna complain that it's just one thick slice. It was more like how you would add bacon to a burger. All the veggies were super fresh. Their choice of bun is the best bun I've had since my road trip began a week ago. Here's my opinion on the burger. The burger had no beef flavor. The only flavor came from the wonderful charcoal grill marks on the burger. Don't be afraid of salt. It's a chef's favorite condiment. The biggest complaint and my only true complaint is that the burgers have a horrible texture to them. Like two quarter pounds of beef breakfast sausage. Not good. If somehow it is how ground I'd recommend using a smaller die and leaving out the transglutaminase. Dog loved it. Would I come again? I sure would. Mos Def

This was the first food stop on a group tour. We needed to eat lunch and then get going again. Our…read moregroup of four decided to give this place a try. It had a line but moved fairly quickly. I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. The sandwich was pretty good -- but the fries were really good and they gave a whole lot of them. Service is kind of slow so it took awhile to get our food. We took half of our lunch with us because it was just a lot of food. It's an interesting place to hang out for lunch but I probably would not return.

This place has some highs and lows…read more High - the razberry shake is highly legit. They have the old school mixer (the kind you see on re-runs of Petticoat Junction) and I am of the understanding the use real razberries which is an upgrade from the similar shake found at McDonalds. High - clean. Place is a little off but so is the entire town. I noticied one poster commented how the bathroom had no toilet paper. I did not inspect that situation. Low - Took 43 minutes to get the frickin' burger. The burger itself was plain, somewhat tasteless, and generally underwhelming. Burger is a two star situation. Fries were as expected from a town that basically goes out of business after Labor Day weekend. Gift shop analysis - I have no comment. Not the same stuff you find on Amazon though. Pro Tip - use the drive through. The staff is kids, nice and all but just not the brightest group, especially when some tour bus rolls in and the cashier forgot to send a bunch of tickets back to the line cook. That is when problems start. Summary - Eat here in a pinch. Stop in for the shake and cut your losses on the food.

Be patient as it takes a while to receive orders. They are known for their traditional danish Æbleskiver's which are essentially pancake balls. They have a variety of flavors and toppings, sweet and savory. They also have a lunch menu as well as breakfast items besides the pancake balls and an assortment of drinks, juices, coffees, housemade flavored waters. I got the beach babe water, very strawberry forward. I will try something different next time. The Æbleskivers were well prepared and my entire family enjoyed them. I'm not a big fan of pancakes, I prefer a crispy waffle. The stand out of our experience however was the friendly service from the woman taking our orders. She was so welcoming and talkative even though they were very busy. It was our first time here and she treated us like local friends. Once she spotted our dog she immediately searched for her dog treats and offered one. While we were waiting for our food I asked for a small cup of water for our dog. A minute later the woman who took our order walked out with a large, clean dog bowl filled with cool water. It really put a special touch to this darling place. Even though I dont even like pancakes we will return just because of the hospitality. BTW, check out the adorable shack filled with crystals, candles and lovely jewelry. You won't be disappointed!
