Our first experience here. We are with a group of 10. Table was ready for us upon arrival. Service was prompt and drink orders correct and speedy. Food (we shared the Zinburger) was cooked to perfection. The regular fries were very good as well. My wife loved her root beer float. I usually just stick with water with a slice of lemon. Will likely return here. read more

Zinburger - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am definitely a fan of Zin. The only thing I have "beef with" (LOL) is how expensive it is. The fries are A La Carte but, I will say that they are definitely worth it! This is my go to spot for birthday dinners or date nights. I wish I was ballin' so hard that I could eat here on the reg but, that's what I get for choosing music ministry as my career path.

Immediately comes to my mind when I want a burger. This place NOT a burger joint with awful shakes, cold fries, and greasy burgers. Their burgers are loaded with flavor and amazing toppings. There is a burger on the menu for everyone. Their shakes are to die for. Some people go just to get a shake. Everybody raves about their truffle fries which I have not gotten to try but it's something to look forward to when I go next. Amazing restaurant read more

Zinburger - Cheeseburger with Lettuce, Tomato, Ketchup, Onion, and Mayo - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Probably one of my favorite burger joints in town. Prices during happy hour are incredible, especially for such a nice part of town. The zinburger, which is my absolute favorite burger is only $5!! They definitely have my favorite zucchini fries in town because they're always perfectly cooked AND perfectly coated in Parmesan cheese. Dipped in ranch dressing, they are little fried pieces of heaven. The beer and wine specials during happy hour are also very generous. Service was top notch and he was very sweet to my very energetic 4 year old. Even without happy hour pricing I would definitely go back. If only it was closer to me! read more

This is probably the best burger spot I've visited in Phoenix. Our server Andre was engaging and provided excellent service. It was moms birthday and they made her feel special about her day. Even allowed us to bring out own birthday cake. The food was incredible. Considering I'm on a low carb (keto) eating plan, this restaurant was able to cater to my needs with a chicken parm sandwich (on a lettuce rather than the bun). Not only was I able to stick to my plan but the meal was delish! We will definitely return. read more

I have no idea what is going on with this place, but it has changed for the worse Restaurant is half full, servers standing around, tables empty, and they are saying the wait time is far too long given the capacity and staffing. Tonight I turned around yet again after being told a half hour wait (for 1 person) when the place is empty. They did the same thing 2 weeks ago when I brought in enough for a table of 10. I was a regular, but you have now lost my business. This is how you go out if business. read more

Interesting burger join. Had their bruce lee and it was reasonably good. Excellent server who was outstanding, almost put her in my pocket to take her home. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Parking: 4 Wine: 3 Value: 4 read more

Favorite place in town for burgers, great fries. Love that you can put your name down ahead of time.

I was so impressed on how the manager reached out and wanted to make everything right. I will definitely give this place another shot just for the accountability they take upon themselves. read more

Tonight the Jolly Diner's transported to Zinburger. For appetizers we had the zucchini fries without Parmesan or Ranch (I'm vegan) and the onion rings with BBQ sauce. Appetizers delicious! Then came the entrees... My sister and I had the veggie burger and my mom had a piece of chicken with cottage cheese, a lettuce wedge and tomatoes. Meals and plates were expertly prepared, the atmosphere is trendy with nice music, flat screen televisions, and a nice bar. Our waiter was professional and attentive to our needs. We had a great meal. The Jolly diners rated Zinburger a five out of five dining experience. It's a place you can take your family or a date for a nice meal at a reasonable price. read more

Zinburger - Onion Rings and Zucchini fries. - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

High quality burger place. You can sit at a table or the bar. Rich drink menu. I had the Zinburger with bison meat and fries. Well prepared, great taste. Highly recommended if you are in the area. read more

After a quick business meeting in Phoenix today, I stopped by to try their Kobe beef burger that I have heard is one of the best. It is located in a the beautiful Biltmore Fashion Center where my beloved Captial Grille is as well. I arrived at 11:00 at got a great booth table. The restaurant has a trendy-up-scale decor that has outdoor and indoor seating. Once I sat down, I immediately ordered the Kobe Beef Burger with chedder cheese, mushrooms and a fried egg. On the side, I ordered their truffled fries and a slice of their banana cream pie for desert. The burger contained 8 ounces of Kobe Beef which was juicy, flavorful and fatty-delicious. The mushrooms, cheese and egg went terrific with the burger. The bun was warm and very soft.....to a point where the bun fell apart after one bite:( The Kobe Beef Burger was not the best I have had...that title goes to the Old Homestead in NY. But for 14.00...it was pretty good. The truffled fries were cooked perfectly..just the right amount of truffle oil. The banana cream pie was the bomb.....full of flavorful banana cream and whipped cream. The service was outstanding......the HOT waitresses in their tight shorts + the cute mgr came by my table several times:) A great burger meal............!! read more

***Zinburger is a small Phoenix burger chain from a restaurant group (Fox Restaurant Concepts) that has several restaurants--mostly in Phoenix though I think some of their restaurants are coming to Los Angeles; the food here is okay but definitely not as good as some of Los Angeles' great burger spots like Father's Office and Short Order*** Zinburger is located in Biltmore Fashion Park, which is an upscale outdoor mall just outside of Downtown Phoenix. Biltmore Fashion Park has a few upscale shops like J. Crew, Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn, but it seems to have even more dining options--a lot of chains from upscale ones like The Capital Grille to moderately priced ones like California Pizza Kitchen. Zinburger seems to be one of the more local or at least regional places here. Zinburger has a clean and simple indoor dining room. The dining room is very minimalist and no frills, but it is modern and comfortable. An outdoor dining patio is also available, but it would probably be quite uncomfortable dining outside during Phoenix's hot summers. Because Zinburger is a burger spot, prices are not too high for dinner. Zinburger is a gourmet burger spot though so burgers run $10 here. You can upgrade to an American Kobe beef patty for an extra $5. All sides are a la carte and are large sides that are suited for two or three people. Salads are also available as well as an assortment of shakes and not just traditional flavors. Shakes are very dessert-focused here--shakes based on popular and longstanding desserts like crème brulee, strawberry cheesecake and bananas foster. Zinburger's menu setup is also a tad similar to The Counter. Like The Counter, Zinburger has a build-your-own-burger option where you can choose between quite a few toppings, cheeses and sauces. The Counter showcases special burgers (and I believe shakes) for the month and so does Zinburger. I had Zinburger's El Diablo burger. The burger came with fire roasted jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, and chipotle mayo. I also upgraded the patty to American Kobe beef. The burger itself was pretty good. It had a good flavor and was juicy enough. It did not have the juiciness of a very great burger, but it was definitely not dry. I am not sure how much the American Kobe added. I have never been a big fan of American Kobe beef; it lacks the richness of Japanese Kobe. The burger patty was good though their regular patty might be good as well. The toppings were okay. The burger was not too spicy. It could have used a little more heat though occasionally the burger had nice heat. I wish the burger had greens though to add freshness and balance. It seems like a lot of their signature burgers lack greens and lettuce, which I think is a big miss. Their hand cut fries were just okay. They were thin fries and they could have been crispier. The zucchini fries could have been crispier too. The flavor of the zucchini fries were good though and they came with a decent Parmesan ranch dipping sauce. I had their Bars of Zin shake, which was chocolate ice cream, melted chocolate and praline flakes. The shake had a good consistency. It was smooth and thick but still very drinkable. The flavor was good. It had a good chocolate flavor without being too rich. The praline flakes were just okay. It did not add the crispiness I would have preferred. Service was good. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The food came out at a quick pace. As already mentioned, prices are not too bad. Overall, you can get out of here with a filling dinner for not that much money. That being said, the burgers and shakes here are expensive for casual food given their gourmet label and significant portion sizes. Zinburger is an okay burger spot. In terms of flavor, I would definitely put it above a spot like The Counter. I would say though that Father's Office and Short Order are significantly better than Zinburger and I would even prefer spots like 25 Degrees over Zinburger too. As mentioned earlier, Zinburger is located in Biltmore Fashion Park, which offers both pay self and valet parking. Zinburger does validate parking (I believe they validate up to 2 hours). read more

Met my mom here for an early Mother's Day and we sat out on the patio. She had gift cards so we splurged a bit. Got a burger with manchego cheese (very unique option!), bacon, and BBQ sauce as well as loaded fries and mac & cheese. And banana cream pie for dessert! It was quite a feast and I enjoyed it, although I'm not sure if I'll make it a point to return since it is so spendy. read more

We've got a burgeoning burger corridor here. What 15th Century Florence was to the Renaissance is what the Biltmore area has become for the next generation gourmet burger. I'm typically not too hot on most Sam Fox restaurants but this is one of the exceptions. Sure it has the style and flair of its other restaurants. But it also has a menu that matches the concept. The burgers are executed flawlessly and they are just unique enough to distinguish them from their Biltmore neighbors. The shakes were as decadent as weekday matinee, not at all necessary but very tasty. The fries were great although we thought that the yogurt sauce pairing with the sweet potato fries was a little off. Top off the experience with some incredible service by our waiter who had the same look and enthusiasm as the indefatigable Steve O and you've got a memorable experience. The burger gauntlet has been laid and all worthy participants should report to the Biltmore. read more

Still sitting waiting for our fries that were ordered 40 min ago! Took 30 min to get the vege burger. Forgot to put our fries order in and we are still waiting ..Food was good but service and wait terrible! Asked to fix the blind that kept hitting the table and said he'd be right back but never came. Watched others at the bar and at a table come well after us and starting eating before us. Never did get the fries and gave up waiting. Server seemed surprised. read more

If you go expect the typical Fox experience; ie, the focus is more on the concept and atmosphere and not on the food Ups: - Kobe burger (add the smoked bacon) cooked as requested medium/rare - nice bar with both indoor and outdoor seating - plenty of patio seating - milkshakes Downs: - $14 kobe burger (good but wouldn't order again) - Buns don't work with the burgers both in flavor and texture. same wheat bun for all burgers. Toasting them would've helped - ahi tuna burger needed some more flavor - truffle fries were soggy and flavor was disappointing - chicken salad with almonds, goat cheese, and pomegranate was plain and wish had skipped - nothing really unique about this burger joint - $6 milkshakes (they don't put any bourbon or any liquor?) read more

"It is better to look good, than to serve good. . . " First of all, the burgers are very good. I ordered mine medium, and that's how it actually arrived. Not many places will actually cook a burger to order. Maybe they SAY they will, but no. The fries (both sweet potato and regular) were tasty. So no real complaints about the food. But . . . COME ON Sam Fox. . . you can't just put model-looking women out there as servers and hostesses, have them take far too long to seat us because they couldn't figure out which tables were open, deny that a special was being offered (until I showed the email for it on my phone), have them take 10 minutes or so to bring a glass of wine, delay a simple food order by about 20 minutes or so, repeatedly neglect water and drink refills, forget that the burger was ordered without a bun, and expect customers not to notice because they've been blinded by an abundance of voluptuary feminine goodness. I've gotten better service at actual stripjoints that served food. So, not really a fan. Maybe caught them on a bad night (though the Tuesday night crowd didn't seem like it would have been too imposing). I might give them another chance, but then if I'm paying $11 for a burger ala carte, basically everything needs to be perfect to convince me to go back. Smashburger and 5 Guys are just down the street, and I'd rather not pay for the pretention of service. read more

The different takes on how they create an angus burger is really cool. The classic zinburger and the blanco burger were great, and when prepared medium with all the toppings it tasted awesome. The loaded fries went great with burgers. The banana cream pie was huge and surprisingly wasnt too sweet. read more

YUM - we wanted to go somewhere else and a suggestion was made to stop here...surprisingly we have never been! We hoped up to the bar. It wasn't that busy so we sat and ordered a couple drinks - however the bartender seemed either flustered or tired and forgot my bloody at first. No biggie cause it was good. Comes with some bacon too! The menu is pretty straight forward and simple however the options are so good its hard to decide. We were originally going to get the zucchini fries to share, but decided since sides don't come with the burger, we would get them as a side and get onion rings as well. I had the Samburger - which was delicious. The meat could have used a slight more seasoning, but I have a feeling they backed off because of the bacon which is OK because it was pretty salty and took care of that element - but if I didn't have the bacon, it would have needed more (there were plenty of bites with out bacon). Hubs had the turkey sloppy Joe which was just an awesome version of comfort food. They serve theirs with cheese and a pablano to fancy it up - but they totally could have just given you a bowl of it and it would have been amazing. All around - ok service with great food. Both of us commented that it must have been an off day for the server because he also forgot the extra pickles I asked for - and the service wasn't typical of the Fox Restaurants. Will definitely have to go back and try some of the other menu items because we actually had a really hard time deciding on what we had! read more

Every time I have entered this establishment, I am a bit dusty and untidy in my appearance. (Hiking the peak nearby manages to make me look less than serene). On my last visit, I see sidelong glances my way from patrons who look casually elegant, as I ask for a table for 2 for where ever and when ever available. There was a wait for the warm interior; but lucky for me, the patio had no wait, as the temperature outside was very cold. I was nice and comfy with the patio heater and my sweats. This is a casual place, but my dusty hiking clothing may be too casual for some of the patrons, so sitting outside was nice. As for the burgers, well, I have not had one I did not like. The last burger I ordered was The Ringer - Applewood Smoked Bacon, Frank's Red Hot Onion Rings, Pepperjack Cheese & Mayo. We substituted the mayo with avocado, then asked for it to be cooked medium. It was perfectly cooked with a nice pink middle. MmMmMm Of course we had to order a side of truffle fries. Luckily one portion is good enough to share. I like dipping them in their chipotle mayo. My server was upbeat and friendly. However, She did forget to deliver 2 place settings. Before I can make her aware of the problem, she was gone. I just shrugged it off and dove right into the food. Who needs the extra set of silverware in a burger place, and heck even the napkin when you are too busy stuffing your face? I did need a knife to spread my chipotle mayo evenly on my bun, but I fixed that by using some fries. I will be back to try the breakfast burger. But since I consider this a good reward after hiking, I will be back in my dusty hiking boots! read more

Usually a FRC place is a pretty safe bet for me. Unfortunately, I didn't really feel that way about Zinburger. On the particular day we chose to visit Zinburger, we had already eaten and True Food, just down the way, went to a movie, and then it was time to eat again. Since we weren't terribly hungry, but the opportunity to eat again wouldn't present itself for a while, we decided to share some food here. We each got a shake and then the Samburger (a bacon burger) and the sweet potato fries to split. My shake was fantastic. I got the creme brulee shake. If my review was based solely off of my shake, this would be a 5 star review, but it's not. The sweet potato fries were good, but only without the sauce. I honestly thought the yogurt sauce was disgusting and inappropriately paired with the fries. Something sweeter would have made more sense. The burger was, well, just a burger. I was sad that it wasn't anything special. It didn't taste any better than anything else I have had before. Too bad. Unfortunately, our service here was awful. Harold, or whatever his name is, was rude and snotty and pretty much ignored us for most of our meal while he chit chatted and shmoozed other tables. He definitely showed his displeasure that we were splitting our food, making our bill smaller. I do also have to make mention of the inappropriate placement of the hinges on the men's restroom door. Read Glenn's review for a more thorough account, but yeah, it was gross. Thankfully Debbie Porter informed me that they were installing a screen or something to fix the problem. For future diner's sake, I hope so. The more I think about it, the more I am sure I won't be back. There are just way too many other burger joints around town to try and revisit. read more

Zinburger = HANGOVER CURE! Aside from that, the burgers are deeeeelicious and the ambiance is great as well. But let me start from the beginning.. I wake up to a pounding headache and not feeling too hot as a whole..you know, when the thought of eating breakfast (eggs especially) makes you want to lose it. So, when my friend invited me to venture to Zinburger, I was excited. Not about moving...but about burgers. While en route to the restaurant, my friend calls and tells me that they have a Bacon infused vodka bloody mary and if she wanted me to order one. Ummm...YES???? Liquid bacon plus vodka in the form of a bloody mary? Mommy daddy...yay!!!!!! I arrive to this delicious beverage screaming my name, a sunny spot on the patio and just a prefect/fun atmosphere. The bloody mary alone was to die for. I had to refrain from eating the glass... On to the food..burgers...and lots of them. Not to forget the sweet potato fries and other yummies. The burgers were great. Maybe only us people, who are completely obsessed with burgers, can truly appreciate a good burger. Others should opt for McDonalds. I don't care what you say..you can taste the difference: the meat, the cheeses, the buns, the lettuce...everything. Why the four stars? Because Delux still has the crown... read more

Love how flavorful and filling the burgers are! Usually when I eat a whole burger I feel bloated and tired, but after eating here I feel full and happy. This is my favorite burger restaurant and I will be a life long fan. The loaded fries are a must have! read more

I hate to say it, but the only thing standing between my 3 rating and a 5 rating was $5. I knew that hitting a place in Biltmore wasn't going to be a frugal experience, and I was cool with that. I'll pay more for good food. but I have to admit that I have a really hard time paying $10 for a burger that doesn't come with ANY sort of side. And fries? Yeah, those are $5. And I realize a lot of places charge $12 or $13 for good, upscale burgers and Zin's combined cost isn't far off of that, but it just feels rip-off-y. (Note To Restaurant: if you bumped up burger prices $3 & gave 1/2 the amount of fries, you'd prob get better feedback from customers PLUS bump up your margin. It's really just perception.) That said, I have to say, the burger was freaking delicious. I got the Diablo burger, piled high with roasted jalepenos and carmelized onions, and it really was amazing. The burger itself was cooked & seasoned perfectly. The sweet potato fries were also very good. Not a fan of the yogurt sauce that comes with them, but whatever. Interestingly, their wine prices aren't half bad. I had a very tasty malbec / syrah blend for $6. That's not too shabby, as it seems many places less expensive than this are charging more. Bottom line - great "splurge" place if I'm in the 'hood & have a craving. Not a regular place for me. read more

FailBurger As i said in my review of Delux... I'm still looking for a great burger place in central phx. This place let me down. Not that the food was terrible, but it was just mediocre. First of all, I had to wait for a table... Usually a good sign! The waitress was about 16, she knew nothing about wine and was totally incabable of answering questions. The waitstaff bus their own tables, so it takes longer to turn them. Then a 17 year old server was arguing with the 16 year old hostess about seating his section. Terrible. People... sweet potato fries taste pretty much the same everywhere, lets calm down... mmmkay? Thanks. This place blows a hole. Fox Restaurant Concepts is hit or miss. Bloom is a miss, True Food is a Hit, ZinBurger is a miss, Sauce is a hit. etc etc etc. If you want a good burger and an overpriced bottle of wine that the server knows nothing about... i suggest going to 5Guys Burgers, grab one to go... and get a bottle of wine from the grocery store... just pick one with the coolest label. Same result. read more

Another place I really wanted to like. Like Joel L. says below me, this is absolutely a style over substance place. Took my Dad and boss there over the weekend to catch up, have a burger and a milkshake, and hopefully impress my dad who is the milkshake nazi if one has ever existed. We got an order of the Zucchini Fries to start which were actually very delicious. I was pleased with the quality of the zucchini as well as the consistency. They were not overly breaded and fried and therefore soggy, they were just right. I got their version of a Mint Chocolate Chip milkshake which was delicious but so sweet I got a stomach ache about 5 minutes into drinking it which was kind of a bummer. Our waiter overheard my Dad giving his milkshake diatribe which basically consists of "Young people don't know how to make a milkshake anymore blah blah blah" so poor thing bless his heart tried as hard as he could to take all of my father's demands into account on this simple chocolate shake and just failed miserably. In the business of full disclosure, he never had a chance so I cannot hold that against them. Things took a turn for the worst when we got to the burgers. My Dad and I each ordered the Zinburger, his cooked Medium and mine cooked Medium Well. His came out Medium Well and mine Well Done. The beef wasn't terribly flavorful in my opinion. The manchego cheese and other toppings were nice, but the real issue for me lies with the buns. By the time the burgers got to our table, the buns were already so soggy that you couldn't even pick up the burger without the whole thing falling apart! Serious issue as all burger eaters out there know. We each ended up trying to knife and fork it which wasn't terribly successful either. All in all I find Zinburger to be just average. Didn't hate it, but certainly didn't love it. I must go out of my way however to say how exemplary our service was there. Our waiter was fantastic and took excellent care of us. However when the hunkering for a $10 burger hits me, you will continue to find me at Delux or Houston's... read more

There are many ways to make a great burger. This place stands out by promoting the freshness and organic nature of their patties. This location is at a mall. Parking is a bit weird there is free parking north of it, but south of it you either have to get validated or valet. Choose wisely. We went on a Sunday for lunch and there were a lot of people there. We waited for about 15 minutes because we wanted to eat inside. The workers were dressed like they were on the farm, and the décor kind of matched that. The patio is shaded and had misty sprays on when the temperature gets too hot. The restrooms are very clean and have some interesting décor. You'll have to see it for yourself. This place is known for their burgers and shakes. To start off we decided to share a salted caramel shake. The amount of the shake is good for one person, but you can also share it and still be satisfied. When it arrived, it was very thick and luckily they give you a spoon to go along with it. I decided to get the Zinburger ($10). It comes with Manchego Cheese, onions and mayo. For $5 more, I decided to get my burger Kobe style, which is to use Kobe beef. We also ordered a truffle fries and loaded fries. The loaded fries came with bacon, cheese sauce, sour cream and chives. I preferred the truffle fries over the loaded fries. The fries were not as "loaded" as I liked them to be. I would have liked more sour cream with them. The truffle fries were great. You can smell them from a mile away and taste just as great. The burger was huge. The meat taste fresh and went well with the toppings. My one gripe with it is the bun. I felt that it was a bit dry and it was holding it back from being one of the great ones. The service here is pretty good. Our waiter was friendly, kind and helpful with choosing what to order. She was quick to refill our drinks and our food was served in a timely fashion. No complaints there. Would I come back here again? Sure, if you're looking for a place in Phoenix to pig out then check this place out! read more

Wine and Burgers...two things that I admire and enjoy so much. This restaurant fills both of those needs in a stylish, modern looking location on the front side of the Biltmore Fashion Park. There are several burgers, sandwiches, and salads to choose from that are all created nicely. Also not to forget any of their different style of fries and shakes that will helpful in a sinfully delightful experience. Prices are moderate to near the high end for the type of cusine, but pretty much in line for the area. The inside has a large wall/mural of cows grazing which is somewhat strange, but I'd say it's different in a good way. Earth tones are abundant throughout creating a natural, relaxed atmosphere. The place can get very loud when busy however. With the design of the restaurant I don't think much or any attention was focused on the acoustics. I wouldn't recommend coming here for a quiet time. This is another restaurant that the Fox Restaurant group has created well receiving an instant buzz. Great location, very good food, excellent service ,and a upbeat atmosphere. read more

This is a review that I have been putting off doing for a while. My wife and I visited a little while back. The customer service was good, the decor was okay, but the burgers just didn't wow me. The waiter was nice and there wasn't really a wait. It looks fresh and modern on the inside and there was ample seating. I ordered the El Diablo burger medium rare. It came out a little too close to well for my personal tastes, and it wasn't spicy. That was pretty much all I was really expecting from the burger. Medium rare and spicy, lol. It wasn't a bad burger, it just did not live up to my expectations. All in all this is a 3 -star place in my book, just A-OK. Not bad, not great. read more

The reason for the 2 stars instead of one is I gave Zin a second try after receiving a hamburger that wasn't even warm in the middle on my first visit. If you wan't a good hamburger don't go here. There are many many places that have better burgers and fries. But if you want a good shake and zucchini fries it is an ok place for a snack. The burgers are boring with little flavor and over priced. read more

I was SO excited for Zinburger as I had previously been to the Tucson location but I'm sad to say that it wasn't what I remembered at all. When I had initially went, I still dabbled in meat and was lovin' the turkey burger. So, maybe the turkey burger is still okay (but it doesn't seem so from other reviews) but I had the veggie burger this time around. Let's just say I spent most of my evening puking that veggie burger up. They put this weird tomato marmalade on it, which wasn't pretty coming back up. Sorry for the graphic nature of that sentence. I'm not in the business of giving restaurants that make me ill a second chance, so the likelihood of me returning is pretty much zero. read more

Being Vegan it's hard to find places to eat at that both yourself and non vegans will enjoy. When I called ZinBurger to inquire about their "Vegetable Burger", I was told it was made with eggs but that if I could wait about an hour before coming in the chef would prepare one without eggs to accommodate a vegan. I though that was awesome and I was very thankful! So we get there and of course I order my "Vegetable Burger" with no cheese and no mayo. I also asked how it was prepared: fried? The waitress told me they were grilled, another plus! Husband orders the Samburger, No thousand, add an egg and we shared an order of hand cut fries. Food arrives, it looks good. Although I notice my burger was not grilled it was most definitely pan fried, but it wasn't greasy at all so I was OK with that. What I was not OK with is the fact that it is called a "Vegetable Burger" and it is in fact a "Black Bean Burger" and should read as such on the menu. If I had known it was comprised 99% of black beans I would have likely chose another restaurant to eat at. It was just bland I had to slather it in mustard for any flavor and I only ate half. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being best ever, Husband gave his burger and Creme Brulee shake a 9. Well good for him, I know where he can get a good burger he likes, but as for me, I'm still searching for an Amazing Vegan Burger! SO I give 3 stars for his experience and 2 for mine. read more

I've been to Zinburger quite a few times and have always left happy. My favorite is the Zinburger, with an addition of bacon because bacon really does make it better. The Samburger is also really good, but I think the Zinburger is much more flavorful. I haven't tried the veggie burger, but friends I've dined with have had it and loved it. They always have a special burger of the week too, and they usually sound pretty good. But I am a creature of habit and have yet to try one. Side dish-wise, I've tried the regular fries, truffle fries, sweet potato fries, and zucchini fries. The truffle fries are amazing! I really enjoy the sweet potato and zucchini fries too, especially the tangy yogurt dipping sauce that comes with them. But the regular fries are super disappointing... you would think a burger place with several delicious different types of fries would at least have good ol' regular french fries. Unfortunately, the ones I've tried have been soggy and not very flavorful. Regardless of what you get, the sides are huge and can easily be split between 2-3 people. I can't imagine having room to order a shake too, but they all look delicious, I might have to give in one day. My boyfriend did get the root beer float one night, and I definitely stole a few (several) bites. If you can somehow manage to save room for it, get it! Or do it as he did and order it as an "appetizer." I've heard some complaints about the wine, but I always order the Tilia. It's only $6 and if you like cabs or malbecs, you'll definitely enjoy it. For beer drinkers, they have a limited tap selection, but they are all good craft beers. Yes, it may be a little pricier than your average burger joint, but I guarantee it's better quality too. Although, I could do without the cows on the wall watching me eat their friends. Sorry cows! Please don't judge me... you just taste so good! read more

I picked up Zinburger for the first time the other night despite living in the area for ages. Their current family bundle - $28 for 2 burgers, a bag of fries/onion rings/sweet potato fries, and the wedge salad - is a great deal. I had the Zinburger and it was excellent, friend had the BYOB and also raved about it. I forgot to use the current takeout coupon when I checked out and thought I was SOL, but mentioned it to the waitress who brought the food out to my car anyways just in case. They were slammed so I didn't think anything would happen, but this morning I woke up to a price adjustment email, for the discount. So on top of the amazing food, the customer service was also absolutely stellar. We'll be back for sure! read more

In the mood for something different, my husband and I checked out Zinburger this Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. After figuring out the Biltmore's token parking situation, we wanted to take the opportunity to enjoy "Phoenix winter" out on the patio. The hostess station was a bit chaotic, especially given that the restaurant wasn't very busy, but after a few minutes, we were seated at a two-top on the patio that turned out to be a fantastic spot to people-watch. I was excited to try the My Boy Blue, a burger topped with caramelized onions and rich blue cheese. The flavors and texture were spectacular, but the gluten-free bun (while delicious) wasn't able to withstand the sauciness of this particular burger and began to dissolve in my hands. I gave up and ate the last third with a knife and fork, wishing I had stashed a wet nap or something in my purse to address the mayo situation. My husband had the special of the day, a triple-decker that the waiter described as a Big Mac, "but better." The gf bun held up much better on his burger - then again he also has much bigger hands :) We split a basket of fries, prepared in the dedicated gf fryer, which were pleasantly crisp. I was a little disappointed to see such cheap liquors in their signature cocktails (Smirnoff? Whaaaa?) and ordered the blood orange lemon drop (with Ketel One) with my meal. I'm always worried that the bartender is going to make a "girly" drink too sweet, but I was pleasantly surprised by the balanced flavor and decent buzz found in this $8 cocktail. My husband doesn't share my aversion to sweets, and indulged in a root beer float, served in a huge glass for $6. Their rich vanilla ice cream made this float a decadent treat. Two drinks, two gf burgers, and a large fry came out to $48 before tip. Not cheap, but for the quality of beef and refreshing gluten-free selections, I'm sure we'll be back to try more of the menu! read more

SIL and I went here and had an outstanding burger experience! I just wish there was one closer to my side of town :( Alas, when we want a guaranteed good burger experience (a la 'non-fast-food' style), we know here's where it's at. Plus, who doesn't enjoy having a glass of zin with their burger.. mine certainly paired perfectly. I had the Zinburger and was *loving* the cheese (I like funky cheeses on my beef), but what stood out the most was the perfectly cooked and moist (and a little pink) patty. These people know when to stop cooking the patty (unlike some other places I've recently reviewed.. ugh). My SIL had the same but I had added a few toppings (hence mine was a little more pricey but had much more interesting flavors with every bite). We decided to split the sweetpot fries.. .oof, so good! I don't think I'm a fan of their dipping sauce, but I don't need no stinkin' dipping sauce for my fries.. they were well cooked and very plentiful.. enough to share! We sat outside in the patio area and, though it was busy busy busy (as always), we had good service and the atmosphere was really relaxing and up-beat at the same time. read more

Best Turkey Burger Ever! Hands down! YUM! Joyful flavoring makes this thing amazing. They understand cross contamination and I can get a gluten free bun with gluten free fries (dedicated fryer) and the fries are to die for too! The quality doesn't seem to change no matter what location you are at either! This location is very clean, open and inviting. The wait outside can be a bit hot in the summer as there isn't much room inside if it's busy but it is worth the hot mess to dine on this great food. read more

Situated snug in the middle of the Biltmore Fashion Park, Zinburger has become the spot for fun, hip, milkshake and burger eating delights. While I've been there four times now (once just for the Black Lager Float) I have to say that every trip has led to a very delicious experience. Last night's order: Samburger with a fried egg. So I've had this burger before, but without the egg... let me just say, I don't think I can order this sandwich without the egg anymore.. it made it that much better. But that's just me. I'm into eggy things (almost as much as I'm into smoked meats and cheeses.. but I'll save that for another day.. BTW.. is there a Salumi place anywhere in Phoenix?) Side wise, I've had the regular fries, the truffle fries, the sweet potato fries, and the zucchini fries... all very good and seasoned well. To make your meal more interactive and fun.. get your fries as a semi-appetizer that lingers around just long enough to say 'Hi' to the burgers as they come out. Otherwise.. you'll be waiting around while your beef gets cooked up. If I had to give one negative remark, it would have to be regarding the wine selection. For a joint that actively says.. "Hey.. we do burgers and wine"... I'd have to say the job of Zinburger's sommelier is rather dull. Would you like to spend 5 bucks.. or 7 bucks? (I'm partly exaggerating) Overall, the burgers are good, the fries are good.. and the wine.. well who drinks wine with burgers unless you're trying to make yourself look more sophisticated then you actually are. Just kidding, I love you, you know that right? read more
