    Surprisingly good fancyburger for the airport. Had the jalepeno burger - def got a kick and I love it. Reasonable service speeds, great quality food. That's really all I need for a quick bite.

    I was impressed with the size and pricing of the burger especially for food at the airport. The burger was really good and filling. The burgers came with two patties. The service is quick and very friendly staff! There's no seating.

    I'm always impressed when I enjoy a meal at an airport. I'm even more impressed when the food is so good it keeps me coming back to the establishment anytime I'm passing through. That's Zinburger for me! I've been to this location three times now. The service is great and I always get my food in less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately the menu is limited, but understandably so for an airport location. Each time, I leave a happy customer. On my most recent visit, I chowed down on the Samburger (applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce and 1000 island dressing, $13.95) and a small hand cut fries ($3.50). This was my second time ordering this burger and I swear it slapped harder than the first. There's crazy flavor in the patty and the bacon was perfectly cooked! Cheese was melted just right and the 1000 island adds nice zing that separates this sandwich from your average. The fries, as always, were deliciously crispy and nicely salted. I really, really hope this place stays. I look forward to returning and, hopefully, checking out one of their other locations next time I'm in AZ. I'd love to pair one of these bad boys with some wine!

    Trying to grab a quick bite before your flight, try this place. I am not a fan of this terminal at Phoenix airport. On the day I was here, it was wall-to-wall people with nowhere to sit, lines for all of the food places, and a general chaos-type atmosphere. But we were hungry and Zinburger looked like it didn't have a line. Looks can be deceiving. While there wasn't an ordering line, there were a bunch of people waiting for their food. This is an order and wait for your number kind of place. There is nowhere to sit at the restaurant once you get your order either. I ended up taking my burger and onion rings to a nearby bar type standing and eating place next door. The burger was decent for a quick-service restaurant. There weren't enough condiments on the burger but overall, not bad. The onion rings were trash. They were very overcooked and were really bad. I ended up trashing them. Had the terminal not been so packed it probably wouldn't have been so bad. I hate standing and eating.

    The Zinburger location at the Phoenix airport is small like an old fashioned hamburger stand with fewer burgers and sides on the menu and no alcohol. They brought as much freshness and flavors to the airport. Fries that are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside is a good tell tale sign of freshness. What they didn't bring were premium airport prices. I think the zinburger and samburger are actually lower than outside locations as of today in early Feb 2024.

    Zinburger currently has six locations in Arizona. This one at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (or just 'Sky Harbor') offered a limited subset of their full menu. Their signature Zinburger had two meat patties, cooked a little longer than I would have liked and it came out medium-well done. The quality of the meat was good enough but a little dry. There is a lot of cheese which became a gooey mess. I don't think I've seen Manchego Cheese, a Spanish cheese obtained from sheep milk, on a burger before, but it works, though it's rather sloppy. There isn't any seating at this restaurant, so you end up eating it in your seat in the airport boarding areas, and you may have to clean your hands after eating, before boarding your plane, because your hands may be a bit messy.

    Located in the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Terminal 4 in the food section area. They have a simple menu, and the drinks are located on the left side of the order counter. We got the Zinburger and the West Coast Chicken Burger for lunch. The burgers were good. They didn't have seating, so we just ate at the flight waiting area.

    Cool open vibe on active street corner, impressively large list of cocktails, ordered wings (enough heat to make lips tingle), fried zucchini sticks (addictive amt of crunchy outside/moist inside), Zinburger cooked to Medium perfection, Passionfruit unsweet tea added tropical flair, covered fries were tasty = every item is well-made, service quick and frequent, absolutely worth a visit and the value!

    Burger was Meh, plain & simple- asked for no tom, extra lettuce. charged $1+ for 2 tbl of lettuce w/o telling me. Forgot my pickles
    Coco J.

    This place said the pickles came on the side of the burger. -- No seating so after I walked away sat down opened my burger I found no pickles. &&& Was charge an extra dollar for extra lettuce... it's not cheese guys, it's lettuce- $1? If you're gonna up charge u should tell the customer not sneak it on the bill. My dad commented the burgers would taste a lot better if they were fresh. Patties seemed dried out and a little hard. Would not recommend the burger at all. I'm allergic to cheese so I couldn't really try any of their fancy burgers, as I'm sure you know places never give you money back when you ask to take a topping off, but they sure are quick to charge you extra money for something like two spoonfuls of lettuce. so I just ordered a plain burger... no tomato, no mayo extra lettuce (charge $1 extra without telling me) ... Burger bread was ok and so were regular fries. The fries were actually pretty good (4stars) and are the only thing I would recommend here - though they were expensive and the portion was small. My mom's sweet potato fries were under cooked and she didn't finish them -- they seemed partially raw. We arrived at this airport weary after many travel delays and reroutes and ate here as it was one of the few places still open around 930pm Monday night . If I had to do over again, I would've eaten at the bar next-door. I didn't realize they were still serving food next-door over there. The food looks way better than what we got. Staff was friendly, food was mediocre at best. *edited to correct autocorrect spelling errors

    Diablo with no lettuce and hand-cut fries

    I was SO excited to find my favorite fast food burger chain listed in the PDX airport directory. Sadly, after a bit of scouting, "the Princess was in another castle," and my beloved Shake Shack was unaccessible from the Terminal I was in. With my head hung low like Charlie Brown, I headed to my departing gate when an incredible smell lifted my eyes. There, across from my very gate was a little gourmet burger shop! With an empty stomach and a heart set on SS, Zinburger had a huge disadvantage. To my surprise, they pulled off an absolute win. The picture doesn't do it justice, but this hearty hand-made masterpiece was incredible to the last bite. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the balance of flavors was dead on. The bun was so fresh I expected it to fall apart in my hands, and yet it held up through the whole experience. The thought of the gooey stringy cheese and the spicy sauce has my mouth watering thinking about it hours later. Heads up, put some napkins in your lap as these things tend to drip, and if you're over 30, there isn't going to be enough salt on the fries. Very minor issues completely worth the sacrifice. Don't miss Zinburger!

    Not as many options as the real restaurant
    Jason L.

    I am a huge fan of Zinburgers all around and have finally gotten to give one a shot in the airport restaurant. I am sorry to say that I was greatly disappointed in a number of ways. One, the menu is exactly as shown. So they don't have the variety that would normally be available as those in the actual restaurants. I usually like to give the burger of the week a shot that's off the menu and depending on its success may become a part of the full menu permanently. Two, the next disappointment was their shakes. I normally rate their shakes as one of the best I've had ever. However, I am very picky and particular for my shakes. A shake aficionado if you will. So they just have the basic shakes and I was tempted to try so I asked them if they can make it extra thick, enough to eat and they replied no. It comes out of the machine how it comes out. And they showed me the soup like substance that was very liquidy so, I gave it a hard pass. I did however, order the Samburger, which is basic and a good baseline to rate them. I always order medium rare and it came out well done. It overall was disappointing as was the burger. For $12, the product did not reflect the price. I am a quality versus quantity guy. However, when you get well done instead of medium rare that's a major strike. Let alone the quality of the meat. You know they are standard patties that are cooked up and just using the Zinburger franchise name to sell. So, if you've heard about Zinburger and never tried them before. Do yourself the due diligence and hold off until you get a chance to go to an actual restaurant. Otherwise you will be disappointed and it will put a bad taste in your mouth. Pun intended .

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    First time here and loved it! We were looking for a chill spot to grab a drink before our dinner…read morereservation. Upon walking in, the place was packed and we stood in line at the bar for standing room only. The bartenders were friendly and the cocktail list was pretty interesting. Both of the drinks we got off the menu were bitter and NOT sweet, which is bad news for me cause I love a sweet drink! lol The bartender was able to make me a lychee mojito after I asked specifically for any flavored syrups they had. She was very sweet to check what flavors they have and gave me several different options. My boyfriend got some whiskey and they gave a hefty pour. We ended up snagging some seats at the bar and ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza. Love that you can buy slices individually here, including cheese pep and dill pickle - how fun, will definitely try this next time! Overall, nice chill dive bar with good food and drinks. Ambiance is very moody but fun. They also have old school darts! We'll be back :)

    I love this bar !!! It's so cute and the vibe is always a good time !!…read more I've been here several times and the wait staff is amazing !! Very cozy vibe ! Only thing I'd say is the pretzel bites with cheese dip is wayyyy too spicy and should say on the menu it's more of a nacho cheese not beer cheese. Other then that love this place :)))

First time I remember I enjoyed it but still left room for another try. 2nd visit was awesome. Great customer service. The experience was perfect and relaxing. Drinks were spot on. I had a vesper martini variant and she had a great drink with a taret card and a lavender cigarette. Very cool drink experience. I definitely would go back again. The emersive train experience is just awesome. Check it out.

Even waiting outside for our reservation we were having a great time feeling like we were at a 1930's train stop. I heard about this place from my brother, and went a couple of years ago, and could not wait to take my boyfriend here. The service is absolutely PHENOMENAL! They walk you through the menu, the experience, as well as guide you if you're not sure what you want to drink. We ordered several drinks and they were all so creative and fun! My favorite was the tea with the lit lavender "cigarette." It added to the ambiance and overall experience. We also ordered the trip of snacks tray and several other drinks. Although this place is pretty pricey, there is nowhere is like it and it's WELL worth the cost! Get reservations early and don't skip this amazing, creative, and inventive bar!

    What an amazing evening, beautifully curated with so many thoughtful details. Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.
