For a large iftaar gathering, we ordered 50 individual crispy chicken wraps with fries from Zingster's in Fremont--each one was perfectly packaged and easy to serve for both adults and kids. They were a huge hit! Everything was ready right on time for pickup, and the pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

Zingster Chicken burgers are good and flavorful but smash burger is a scam for the price and quantity and quality. We tried Smash double meal which comes with tiny burger ting thin 2 thin meat patty and buns were medium size. We have tried smash burgers-multiple times but it was a big disappointment. read more

The first time I visited this place, it was closed though it was well within their official business hours advertised online. The next time I decided to give this place a try, I ordered a chicken zinger sandwich and a side of regular fries for takeout lunch. The place was clean but pretty deserted on a weekday around 2pm. This made parking a breeze, but I must say that's not always the case because this place shares the same plaza and limited parking space with a widely popular Indian restaurant, a beloved Yemeni coffee shop, and many other businesses. I found the service to be lacking - no smile, warmth or greeting for their only customer at the time other than a curt "are you ready to order?" and again, no communication or small talk as I waited for my order to get prepared. The food was definitely much better than the service. I live close-by and still the food was a little soggy by the time I got home. I wish they used the tactic I see a lot of Asian restaurants use to keep fried food crunchy by introducing a small outlet for steam. The chicken was definitely fresh, tasty, and expertly breaded and fried. I went with "hot" for my spice level and there was definitely a kick, but nothing too spicy (I do have a good tolerance for spice). However, having lived in Nashville for close to a decade, I have to say the spice rub used here isn't the real deal though they advertise their products as Nashville style. Also, I was surprised that they hadn't included any ketchup or hot sauce with my side of fries - do remember to ask for them if you're planning to eat on the go and can't imagine fries without ketchup like me. A little better service could easily turn this place into a better dining experience. read more

3.5/5 rounded to 4 for yelp Not a bad place but I really wish halal spots would get more creative. I have already 10 places in the Bay Area I could list that sell "American food" ie Nashville chicken & burgers and I wish they would pick a new cuisine. The competition is so dense that if this was the only place maybe it'd be a 4/5 but with so many places, it takes a lot for Nashville chicken spots to wow me at this point. I got the chicken wrap bc I wanted something "light" and it was yummy in that I enjoyed it but I was pretty hungry. Reminded me of a Caesar Salad type wrap. The space was decent. Styled a bit like a Yemeni Coffee shop though. There was one man manning the front but we ordered online and he brought it out to us after we informed him abt our order once it was ready. Again bc there is such a huge pool of this specific cuisine I doubt I'll come again. I just happened to be en route home on a day we were running out of time to make dinner ourselves. read more

Great local smashburger & chicken sandwich shop! The chicken sandwich was so crispy and juicy, just thinking about it makes me want it again. The smashburger was also good, and with the side of coleslaw and sauce, they were perfect. Just one complaint I had was that I accidentally tried going when it was busy and the line was too long so I left. But this could be easily avoided if you order online, which is what I ended up doing :) If you end up doing pick up, I highly recommend getting the coleslaw and sauce on the side so you prevent your burgers from being soggy! read more

Zingster's is one of those burgers spots where it's so flavorful and delicious that makes you keep coming back! Love their smash burgers, chicken and fries! Flavorful and perfect amount of spice. Haven't tried their waffle fries because it's never available when I try to order it. But I would highly recommend the smash burger -- so good! Will return again, soon! read more

Zingster's opened recently where Rock n Salsa n Beer once was. New minimalist decor, 10ish tables, same large parking area. Came to experience the Fremont Restaurant Week deal. Quick, efficient service at counters Ordered pd, food came out in 5ish minutes. Offerings: Nashville chicken burgers, smash burgers, rice platters, fries, wraps, milkshakes. Slurps: Bischoff Milkshake (7.29) -disappointed Dubai Chocolate milkshake not available. -Bishoff was way too sweet. Smash cookie not an issue. Bites: smash burger & Chicken burgers (14.99) medium hot sauce. -thin smash burger was the usual with crispy edges. Innards slightly moist, dryish re: tiny patty. -chicken burger was legit. Moist, tender chicken patty. Sauce didn't resonate hotness till later discharges prove discomforting . -breads weren't disappointing. 4ish stars. Worthy: YMMV quality: fresh ingredients used. Quantiy: reasonable. read more

If you're looking for a Halal place, this is a good option. They have chicken and beef burgers, wraps, bowls, and sides. The chicken burgers come with 5 levels of hotness or no spice at all. I got the mild (level 1) and it was very tame with a bit of heat. My hubby got the hot (level 3), and it was pretty intense, but tolerable (for him). Smash burger - this was ok, but their slaw was too wet and the bun got flat and soggy. The beef tasted quite good, but the bun was tasteless. Zingster chicken burger (zing-1) - this was really big. The chicken was very crispy outside and the meat was juicy. The slaw was very good with the burger, and the sesame seed bun was big enough to contain everything. Although the chicken was crispy, I thought there was just too much batter. That's what made the chicken look so big, but a large part of it is the batter. Fries - very good. Crispy and well seasoned. We got 2 sauces (red and white). The white sauce tastes really good with the fries. Overall, a good burger spot that's a step up from your typical fast food places. read more

Great Halal burger place in Fremont. They've been open since 2025 and are relatively new. Worth checking out since their menu interestingly has burgers, fried chicken, and rice platters. Location is in a small strip mall with McDonald's really close to the 880 Cushing exit. Plenty of parking though the spaces are slightly smaller than normal. The interior design is cool and feels like "classy" fast food. More upscale than other halal burger places and had a nice layout. Ordering was quick and easy and staff were welcoming and polite. Single smashburger: well grill smash burger with plenty of crunchy meaty bits. I liked the really soft bun this came on, reminded me of McDonald's buns in a good way. I normally dot like coleslaw that is too saucy but it was very good in this burger. Would repeat, delicious. Chicken fingers: got these "hot" and they were rightfully spicy. The meat was very tender and the crunchy fried parts were good, I'm not sure how to remedy this but I wish the fried parts stuck to the meat a bit better. The dipping sauce this came with was excellent. read more

Seemed like people come here even though it was pretty late at night. When I brought the food home, the chicken was still very crispy and the fries too. The rub that they use pairs well with the fries and is pretty spicy. They also provide 2 sauces, one garlic and one that I don't know what it is but it's used everywhere. The chicken is juicy and not tough. The chicken is also halal which is cool. read more

Another Nashville Chicken restaurant is in Fremont! Not only that they served chicken burgers and sliders, but also smashed burgers too. The restaurant was quiet when I got in and there were only a few customers. They also have a prayer room where people can pray there. Also, the place looks really nice and it seems that the staff are taking good care of it especially when I saw one of them clean the tables. The menu representation looks nice and clear. They have a combo burger which comes with a chicken slider and a single-patty smashed burger. I decided to get that to try both at the same time. It's $18.99, which isn't really bad and the same price as Zing 2, which is the same except that it's two chicken sliders. The fries are well seasoned and very tasty. The two sauces that come with a meal are very delicious that they blend well with the fries and the chicken slider. The chicken slider tastes good and I'm surprised that they added coleslaw to the smashed burger. That's basically a way to make up a smashed patty since it's recommended that you get a double patty to have a good bun-to-meat ratio. I also like how they packaged everything inside a box probably for convenience. I'm looking forward to Zing 1, which is I believe a chicken burger rather than a slider given its unique appearance and probably bigger size. read more

Saw them on TikTok. Excellent review. So kids and I came here. My kids loved loved it. The double smash burger they got was very fresh and meat was really good. Extremely friendly staff, very polite and nice. The place is squeaky clean and cool. They immediately cleaned the tables when people left. I accidentally took soda water and when I asked them to pay, they were like no you are good. Just a friendly behavior was the cherry on the top. This is a Bay Area gem and highly encourage others to come. Last but not least- it is HALAL. Keep the awesome job up! read more

Incredible customer service, super friendly employees who ensured our order was perfect. The hot chicken burgers are some of the best I've had, fries were on point too especially when paired with their white sauce. Interior was well-kept and very clean, with good seating for a hot chicken shop. 10/10 recommend & would absolutely go back! Extra points for having a designated prayer area, big salute to the Zingsters managing team for such accommodations! read more

Stopped by around 3pm on a Saturday for takeout and super busy both inside and outside. The loaded fries weren't really my thing, but the sandwich was tasty and saucy, and the chicken was nice and tender. I preferred the zing sauce over the white sauce. read more

Food was great, service was great, and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the mix rice plate which came with chicken, the smash burger patty, and rice. Unfortunately for me, it was overly sauced. My food was swimming in the sauce, and I couldn't even see what was under it. I didn't expect that much to be topped on it since the picture showed it would be a drizzle. Other than that, the flavor was great. I will be asking for the sauces on the side next time read more

Spotted this place on Yelp and I have been meaning to try out a new Spicy fried chicken spot. A nice clean spot and really fast service. Navid was patient and helpful getting my order. I Got the Hot Zing 1 and the chicken fries. The chicken was fried really well and had a nice crunchy texture, the spice level was perfect for me. It's a little hitter than say Daves so get your spice level accordingly. Overall one of the best hot fried chicken spots in the bay. read more

Had the default fried chicken sandwich which was below average compared to other halal spots. Small annoyances like broken soda machine, limited drink selection, and slow service (a few people came and eventually left because no one came to the register). read more

Terrific spot for some freshly prepared, deliciously & liberally spiced Halal fare. The chicken sandwich came out sizzling and it was big enough to perhaps even share. The smash burger and fries were both scrumptious as well and the place was pretty spacious and very clean - even the restroom! read more

About a few weeks ago, my brother wanted me to take him here for lunch. Unfortunately, plans changed and we ended up going somewhere else instead. Today, he was going to pick up some stuff for our parents at my house so I thought I'll buy him lunch from here. I showed up around 11:30am and I was the only customer at that time. I ordered two Zing 1 combos (medium spice). The food did take a while to be ready but I do appreciate that the food was made-to-order, instead of it being pre-cooked and sitting under a warmer. In terms of flavor, the fries and the sandwich were flavorful and the sandwich did come with a kick to it (slightly spicier than Dave's medium). Even though I didn't get to try the fried chicken until over an hour after I received the order, the exterior was still crunchy while the interior was still moist. The restaurant offers Pepsi drinks but I'm a Coke person so I ended up getting their sweet tea, which I don't recommend. The drink tasted weird. It had no tea flavor and it actually tasted artificial. If you're a small eater, this meal can feed two people. I ended up eating half and giving the rest to my hubby to finish. I docked one star because there's a charge for extra sauce and with the price they charge, I'm expecting a side of sauce with my meal. read more

Not just another chicken place. Service is a little slow, but better that than knowing a quick turnaround meant food sitting under a heat lamp. The chicken and burgers are bomb. I don't know what they put in the sauce, but I am OBSESSED. The spice level is also on point. The store itself is relatively clean, but quiet. I don't recall any music playing, so it can get a little awkward if you're talking and everyone else can hear lol read more

Tried the Chicken Zinger and Smash Single both were really delicious! The flavors were fresh, the chicken was crispy and juicy, and everything was made really well. I really enjoyed both, and next time I'm planning to try the chicken wrap Overall, great spot and definitely worth coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

Zingster's is one of my go-to spots. The Zing Two has been consistently so good every time flavorful, juicy, and always hits the spot. Their slaw is honestly one of a kind, and I don't even usually care about slaw like that, but theirs is something special. The staff is always friendly, which makes the experience even better. And what I really love is that Zingster's isn't just another Nashville hot chicken place trying to copy the rest it has its own unique flavor, and that's what makes it stand out. Also... the smash burgers with the slaw on the side? So good. Every. Single. Time. Highly recommend. read more

Food was solid and very filling. Great halal choice that isn't as expensive as similar establishments. I got a double smashburger with waffle fries and a zinger 1 (normal zinger sandwich) thinking I'd kill em both. I was able to only consume my burger and fries while barely eating 1/4 of the huge zinger burger. Shows how filling the food is, and it's 100% zabihah halal. Ambiance is cozy and kinda bougie but be prepared for tight seating if lots of people come by. Service was relatively slow for the quantity of food we got, but everyone was friendly and recovering from a busy opening night. read more

Went here a couple times was excited about it being a halal food spot but now they hired a bunch of young guys who are rude. I believe he is the supervisor the guy with the fake Burberry shirt stuff. I ordered a triple burger several times with the combo deal and they usually upcharge me $1 per patty but an employee charged me $2 per patty on 2/25. I mentioned this and the supervisor lied to me and said they have always been $2 per patty which simply isn't true I used to go here once a week. Also, when I took my to go order they ended up only giving me a single extra patty after charging me $4 dollars for 2 pattys!!! I know I was charged for 2 because I mentioned it shouldn't be $4. I called and they said a manager would call me today and issue a refund and they never called. As a Muslim I was excited about this place but now not so much, I feel taken advantage of at this point and a meal after my fast was ruined for me during Ramadan I workout a lot and need the extra protein and they failed that after over charging me and I was sadly still hungry after they messed up my over charged order. I was literally the only customer in the store and they still managed to overcharge me and lie directly in my face about the price always being $2 per patty when I have a clear memory of it being $1 because I mentioned it to my mother on how it was a fair price when I would go with her prior to this visit. I hope the owner sees this as this place was literally my favorite spot but the service is horrible now so I'm going to search for a new halal spot, such a disappointment. read more

Smash burgers are simple yet hard to come by in this area it seems so I was eager to try Zingster's, not to mention they are open late-another rare commodity. It's in a great area and the staff is very polite. We noticed the burgers came with coleslaw after we ordered, which we were skeptical about so we asked them to do no coleslaw if it wasn't too late. There was a miscommunication and the staff was very apologetic and insisted we let them remake it but it wasn't too big of a deal for us so we took it as is, even though they were very kind and reassuring it wouldn't be an issue. The coleslaw ended up pairing well with the burger which was very juicy and fulfilled my burger craving but my favorite was probably the sliders! The chicken was very fresh and we had got medium heat so it was just the right amount of spice. Not to mention Zingster's is halal which is also a great plus as there's not very many "fast food" halal options. The place was very clean, just a little tight on seating and a little stuffy inside but I would come back for sure. They also have rice plates, wraps, loaded fries, etc which I'd love to come back and try read more

First time, fried chicken sandwich was fire 5/5! Second time, ordered fries and they were drenched with oil and no container for to go just straight in a brown bag like 5 Guys (unfortunate). Hopefully, they improve. Will revisit and try other items. Last thing, my suggestion is to apply tint on their glass windows as the sun is VERY bright and it would elevate the place and help out patrons (even lowest tint point will make a massive difference; e.g, 70%). Just my input :) read more

1. Tried their zing1, zing2, zing4 in my first visit. 2. Tried wrap in the second visit. Loved the flavors. Wrap was a hit. Food was flavorful I would personally not want pepper in my fries so if that could be given as an option that will be great. Service I felt was nice, ambiance is fine too. All in all, a good place to try crispy chicken. read more

We got smash burgers. It was flavorful and fries were fresh. Not a fast food so it took a while to get our food.

Tried Zingsters for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the chicken sandwich -- super fresh, flavorful, and really filling. You can tell the ingredients are good quality. The chicken tender on the side, though, could use a little work -- it was a bit rubbery in texture, which threw it off a bit. Now the real star of the show... the mochi waffle Absolutely amazing. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside -- easily one of the best desserts I've had in a while. I'd go back just for that alone. Overall, great spot with solid food and incredible dessert. Definitely worth checking out! read more
