Best fish n chips in the tri cities! The fish is always fresh,battered and fried when you order. Nobody does it better than this little hole in the wall driv-in in kennewick. read more

Sadly the food was not good. Burger was overcooked and had zero flavor. The fries were undercooked and not seasoned either, I was given some salt packets but fries were cold by then. I've eaten at other Zips and never had a problem. I won't be going back. The staff was nice enough. Outside if building could use some love. read more

Burgers were burnt...shoe leather. Wonderfully nice people. Shakes were great. Unlikely we'll be back

Disappointed! The girl at the counter who took my order was nice, so I don't have a complaint regarding customer service. However, the condiments and the items they advertise are not available. I was told no fry sauce and that they don't carry at this particular location. However, I have been to this location many times and always had fry sauce. They advertised having lemonade on their menu but yet they were out of that as well. It may seem like petty complaints, but when you pay close to $30 for a hamburger, fries and shake you would think they would take the time to stock up on items for their customers. The other Zips definitely has the upper hand. read more

I grew up eating at Zips and like to treat myself when I'm in eastern WA to a burger or fish. I was looking forward to dinner there the other night near the end of a long roadtrip. I placed my order while a young guy was sweeping or mopping the front counter area and a woman asked him to go to the prep area to help with orders. He put the broom or mop aside and went back, with his dirty hands, and grabbed gloves to start prepping food. I specifically watched to see if he would wash his hands before starting and he did not. I asked if he was really going to make food without washing his hands and the young woman taking my order said, "It's ok, he's putting on gloves." Nope, that's not how that works. Grabbing gloves with dirty hands does not equal food safety. I walked out without getting anything from there. I won't be going back on subsequent trips to the TriCities. The health department needs to look into this place and workers and management needs retraining badly. read more

Nice girl at the counter but!... other Zips don't charge for lettuce and tomato on the double cheeseburger. $1.50 for a slice of tomato?! $1.18 for lettuce. No free refills. Not a bad idea with USA obesity issues. Bathroom door can't lock. The bathroom is grimy and no soap. Then the food came. First time eating at Zips where I felt it was fast food, and my burgers had been sitting under heat lamps as they were very hard, overcooked in fact, crunchy and chewy. I've always had Zips where they had ketchup and fry sauce. This one had ketchup in little tear bags and ranch dressing and no fry sauce. On top of that they're just in these single use plastics which just contaminate the Earth. I love Zips but this is the weakest in the Zips family that I've seen. It just needs better management is all. Come on guys, care a bit more and get your reviews higher scores - get it together. read more

However, another employee had a very poor attitude and seemed like she did not want to be there. When I asked for extra ketchup, she cut me off and said, "It's in there." I parked to check, and there was only one packet. When I went back inside, the employee immediately knew what I was coming in for. I was very disappointed with the service, and unfortunately the food was not good either. By the time I drove to the park (about five minutes away), the fries were already soggy, almost as if they had been sitting out for a while. I've been a customer for years, so this experience was very disappointing. I hope this feedback can help improve the service at this location. Thank you read more

11.24 for a Papa Joe ? Expensive !!! The bugers were burnt, the bacon was so burnt that we threw it away. The chicken basket was so over cooked that you couldn't even bite through it. What happened to Zips, we use to love the food. WE WON'T BE GOING TO ZIPS AGAIN. 57.00 for a chicken basket, a Papa Joe, belly buster and fries is ridiculous. read more

I don't know if this is owned and operated by different people than the one located in the Y but has always been the worst of the zips. The online menu did not match what was on offer in restaurant. No garden/Veggie Burger. Fries weren't seasoned and they don't have fry sauce. What kind of classic burger establishment doesn't have fry sauce? And the employees looked as if death came in for a burger they would ask to go with him. the place definitely looks like it's missed some maintenance and cleanings read more

There is no comparison with the one on Columbia center blvd or the one in Richland. This is the worst of all the zips. All the zips are overpriced but at least at the other locations you somewhat get your moneys worth. This place the quality has gone down tremendously over the years and the price has just continued to sky rocket. I feel bad for the people that stumble upon this place and get robbed I'm surprised they don't charge for water cups here because that's the only thing worth ordering. read more

I grew up in the Tri-City area and Zips was the place to go. After all these years the fish & chips, burgers and fry's are still the best in my book! Not to mention the shakes and fried mushrooms! Service is always helpful when Hoyt memory is rusty on what you like, patient and kind. The dining rooms are definitely retro to the earlier years but clean. My daughters boyfriend was introduced last year and he is a big fan now! While in town for 3 days we ate here twice, loving it each visit! Simply the best & most delicious! My favorite this visit was the Super Burger, 2 patties with lettuce & tomatoes and pickles and can't go wrong with the fry's and yummy tarter sauce to dip! read more

Zip's Drive-in - Salad burger - Burgers Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

i have only ever been through the drive through and decided today i would go in a sit down to eat. when i walked in the place is completely run down and muggy. i ordered my food and sat down and the manager starts yelling at the cook over a order that got messed up. she starts degrading him at the top of her lungs for everyone to hear. i get my food and it's pretty decent size and tasted pretty good. but as im sitting there eating, the manager still continues to yell at the cook. the food being good just wasn't enough to ever come back. the place needs a complete remodel and new management ASAP. it was completely disgusting in there and the bathroom was unusable due to no lock. overall i wouldn't recommend anyone to eat there. read more

We happened upon this burger spot completely by accident. We were going to a park, but our kiddos, and myself, we're getting a bit hungry. We decided to continue up the road we were on and boom, zips is hanging out waiting for us! This place has a very old-school feel, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they take cards and don't only require you to pay with cash. I've got a pretty extensive burger menu including the burger we sampled, the belly buster! This Hass had beef, bacon, ham, cheese and plenty of Fixin 's. That and a cheeseburger along with some delicious tots, call fed our family of five, most of whom were hungry. We did not get our customary shake because my wife was not particularly hungry, though they did look good. The burgers here were way less expensive than most of the spots we have visited over the past six months, and they were definitely in the top 25% of what we've had. This is very likely a spot that we will hit up again at some point in the future. read more

Portions are way too small. And prices are way too expensive. No smiles or friendly service.

I used to go here all through middle school, high school, and after college. Wasn't till I went in the Navy in 85 that I was unable to. Going there on a visit to family after living in LA for the past 11yrs, it brings back a lot of memories. Outside the Original restaurant in Kennewick the city has grown up, but inside, even with the new faces, the food and the relaxing atmosphere, better then ever. It might not be for everyone, but you probably weren't born in the Tri-Cities. Thank you Zips, good food.! read more

This is one of our favorite classic hamburger places in the entire world. We love the bucket of crinkle fries. We love their classic homemade fry sauce and the burgers are consistently good it's a little spend he but we pay it a couple times a year. read more

This place is way overpriced. belly Buster, small fry , a large mushroom and a small diet Pepsi over $27. As I understand these are privately owned. The one in Richland is way more reasonable for what you get, absolute highway robbery. I will not be coming back to this zips. read more

Please retire your current fish sandwich. Freezer burnt, tough and no flavor. Lettuce was yellow also. Gross.

This place was horrible. $27 for two meals consisting of 1 fish and fries basket and 1 chicken and fries basket. The baskets contained a handful of fries, and 4 tiny pieces of fish and chicken. Like, if 2 pieces were taken and cute into 4 portions. We got tarter and ketchup, no fry sauce. Our "medium drinks" are in small water cups. The employees were pissy and took forever. We won't be going here again. read more

I just saw the worst customer service ever. From basically the whole crew but perpetrated by grey hoody guy said his name was Jeff. The way they treated that customer was downright shitty, and now you've lost two customers. Pass on this place. Food downhill prices way up and really bad service. read more

I've never before been charged to not include fries in my meal. $17 for 4 TINY pieces of chicken and some tater tots. read more

Zip's Drive-in - Ridiculous - Burgers Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Their food quality has gone down to "awful" and the prices are off the hook! 2 papa joes, small fries, onion rings and a Pepsi is $36.00 . I wouldn't mind so much if it was still as good as it used to be but it's NOT. I won't be eating there anymore. read more

We tried zips for the first time today and was disappointed. The burgers were ok, the fries alright. This place has no life they play no music so it feels like your setting in a library. The prices are insane. I paid $60 for 4 burgers, 2 fries and 3 med drinks. I honestly wouldn't mind paying if the place had a good aesthetic and ambiance. I'm from California and I know what a more expensive burger joint should looks like. My favorite burger place is in San Luis Obispo ca. It's on the coast line and the place is updated and upbeat and I have paid about the same there as here and Zips is just not worth the price. Also they don't offer refills on sodas. Hygiene is not good here. The cashier cleaned his nose with his tshirt then wiped his nose with his arm. This Place needs: Music Renovations Uniform (employee's hygiene does not look good) read more

This Zips is horrible . Rude & disrespectful employees. They are soo lazy they didn't even give me a Large fry like I ordered & asked for! Also on this Small fry bag( when I asked for a LARGE) they didn't even fill the bag up ! It's only half. When I confronted one of the employees he just slammed the drive thru window & walked away he just said "ya it's large" & look not even a large. How sad read more

Used to be my all time favorite but since under new ownership it's gone way down hill. Food tasted different and I got violently I'll from food poisoning. read more

Horrible customer service, the shrimp and cheese tots where not over cooked but slightly burnt, First time and I'm not going back.

My family and I have eaten Zips for the years quite a bit. Always try to support local and they've always had friendly employees. Tonight was a completely different story. The young man working the first window made no eye contact, no manners whatsoever. The lady who handed us our food at the second window, shorted our food and then after looking at my receipt to see that's what we ordered and paid for, questioned us "are you sure you paid for that?" Horrible. I can't believe it. It's sad to say because of this experience we won't be back. Thanks for all the good years, hope you can find a remedy... read more

My comment is around service. The food was good. The service and billing mistakes were unacceptable. We ordered an orange float and they person taking the order repeated it. When they gave us our order it came with a large Pepsi. We informed him if the mistake. He asked to see our receipt and said we were not charged for that drink and said he would have to charge us three more dollars. Instead of owning their mistake they put it back on the customer. To make matters worse when we reviewed the receipt we realized we had been charged for shrimp instead of chicken. The entire meal was over $50. I will be dining at Zips in the future. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner after a softball tournament. Great place for a quick bite to eat. Great burgers and ok fries. The milkshakes definitely are amazing. My daughter had peanut butter in hers & loved it. Definitely better than any chain burger stop. read more

Take it from me, you'll love it. But remember not all Zips are the same. I will never go to the Columbia center Zips ever again after a girl who was actually the manager who did some things to my usual order just because I wanted extra pickles and mayo on my salad burger. So she put nothing but pickles and mayo on it, nothing else. When I get a corn dog I like lots of mustard, so when I asked for extra mustard she charged me another dollar for it. YIKES! But the Cable bridge Zips and the Lee Blvd Zips are a class act and I know this from years of eating there. They make your meal to order and isn't it about the details that makes a good meal into GREAT meal. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The fish, the burgers, corn dogs are all fantastic!! The only bad thing about those two Zips are they aren't open 24 hrs. Lol read more

guy at the counter was a complete asshole. could barely an order. got our order wrong. ordered 2 2 cheeseburger combos and only got 2 burgers. the food was mid at best. read more

Very slow, rude customer service talking about other customers, no employees wearing masks during COVID. Pathetic.

Shit attitudes from the staff, greasy environment, waaay over-priced and the best part... no refills?! WTF kind of operation is this? Never again Zip's. Never again. read more

Great place. I think I ordered some sort of Buster combo. The burger is awesome with bacon and slabs of ham and cheese. The fries were probably the weakest part of the deal but the fry sauce was good enough to make it all better. I don't go to many places that make me say "i can't wait to go back" and the next time I'm in Kennewick there is no possible way I'm gonna pass Zip's! A solid 5 star place. p.s. I've read a lot of comments on additude, service and other dumb gripes. This is a fast food joint - not a french bistro. I don't care if the pimple faced teen is hating his job, yawning and giving me shitty service - the food is worthy. read more

just horrible service , they make you wear a fuckin mask . So I walked out they lost my service . like mask do a damn thing for a flu with a 99.9% survival rate. There food is not that good honestly anyways. would not recommend. We gotta move on from this hoax or stay home forever it's been over 2 years . read more

I recommend it to everyone otherwise your missing out:-) read more

Best customer service we've ever had in a drive thru and good food to boot! Their cheddar tots with fry sauce are life. I need to try their Dole whips on our next visit! They also have bomb milkshakes and a zillion flavors to choose from. read more

Huge serving for the price, shrimp and fries combo. Double cheeseburger not so big but tastes good. Best fried mushroom!

My food was delicious but the customer service sucked! And when has zips not gave you fry sauce! Wtf

Slipping a little on Quality,smaller portions and forgetting idoms to the order, won't stop going but I hope they get back on track.
