    Cod & Fries

    Excellent food! The fish is golden , crispy, & tasty! The burger is hot, delectable & must have made to order. The fries are good, the service is pleasant.... ZIPS is a local franchise & UNFORTUNATELY each ZIPS is run differently... We live in Coeur D Alene Idaho (the downtown ZIPS is TERRIBLE) We travel 20 minutes each way to eat at the Post Falls because it's superior to all others ZIPS except the Rathdrum Idaho one which is also good... Whoever owns THIS Post Falls Zips deserves an industry award... ( I grew up in the restaurant biz) This is exactly what fast food should be... Golden, crispy, fresh, tasty food at a great price... My pictures prove how great their food is at THIS Post Falls location... You can read my review of the CDA Zips for a comparison on what happens when it's done BADLY.. I feel sorry for the customers who say " this is my first time trying Zips... because you just ate at the best one on the area! There should be a line around the block here their food is that good... you might think it's crazy to bring my OWN HOMEMADE Tartar SAUCE,... but that's because I'm a foodie ( their's is too bland ) that's the only improvement I would make.... Again check my photos... for examples of great food here... Thank you Zips for doing it RIGHT at THIS location...Build it and they will come... oh yeah we will travel 18 miles to get great fast food...

    Nice 3" hair i found in the middle of the hamburger. And no refund $$

    HAIR IN FOOD needs added to the list!Oh and if you eat any fries or take a drink of your pop before you slide a 3" hair out of the center of your hamburger you are still charged for them. We ate at zips as we leave Idaho several times over the years. Well never again! 0 stars

    Chicken Strip Combo
    Kirsten C.

    First time trying Zip's since moving to Idaho. I got the chicken strip combo and both the chicken and the fries were hot and fresh. The wait was move like a drive in type rather than a McDonalds, however it was worth it. Their fry sauce was also really good. The fries could've used a bit more salt or seasonings but that is just my personal preference. All in all a good drive in restaurant.

    Decided to try since it was close... it looks really old for one. 2 I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and when I got it there was only one patty! Burger was weak so were the fries... never again.

    Looks like a 12 piece to me!!

    Usually we have great service here but last time it took almost 30 minutes for our food and half…read morewas cold while the other was steaming out. Because of the time we had to wait I went to the counter to get my food and it looks like they had been waiting on one burger but the rest of the food had been sitting. Normally we use the drive through and service is pretty great.

    Stopped in for early lunch about 10:30 AM on a Saturday we stepped up to the counter to order and…read morethere was one girl on break sitting along the wall with her feet kicked up on the chairs, she had a Carls Jr work shirt on I assume she was on break she just kept watching us then finally yelled across the whole place "2 UP FRONT" which was nice because finally the grumpy old lady came wondering out to take our order and we paid, while we were waiting she yelled CHICKEN TENDERS DOUBLE CHESE BURGER! A short time later a blond lady walked out of the back room and the older lady said "are you cooking" she said ya I'm a coming I'm a coming I'm multitasking. Note: we were the only 2 in the place it was 10:30 am so no rush hour going on. The kitchen was filthy there was crap all over the prep tables and ground, when the busy multitasking employee made our burger and chicken not so tenders the old lady made us the best hot fresh fries that was the best part of the meal because we couldn't even eat the chicken or burger. Run don't walk away from this place it's the worst Carls Jr I have ever seen. Better yet opt for a hot dog from the truck stop I'm sure it's fresher

    The sandwiches were fantastic! I had the American Wagu Cheesesteak. The steak was cut up smaller…read moreand thinner than any other cheesesteak I've ever had. (I think this is why I didn't have to wait long for my sandwich.) This made it easier to chew because I didn't get any dried out or tough pieces of steak. The fries were great too. They were seasoned fries that you normally get at sit down restaurants. The service was excellent. The employees were friendly and didn't make you feel like you were an inconvenience. I have to admit it's been awhile since I've seen happy employees. We'll definitely be back.

    11.21.25: First time in at this location and was immediately greeted as we came through the door…read more Restaurant was brightly lit and clean and pretty busy with a lunch crowd. I had two goals for this visit: 1) to try the impossible cheese steak (plant-based), and 2) to see if I notice the adding of more meat to all their cheese steaks as their new campaign claims. I ordered a medium impossible cheese steak with onions, mushrooms, and both hot and sweet peppers. My cheese steak came out hot and toasty and I'm happy to report there was noticeably more meat on my sandwich than in the past. Meat kept falling out as I bit into it! As for the impossible part and it being plant-based, it was actually pretty decent and flavorful. I normally don't eat plant-based meat due to the over use of sodium to flavor, but this was pretty close to an actual cheese steak. There were plenty of mushrooms, onions, and peppers and enough melty cheese to leave me walking away full and satisfied.

Ordered from guy in his 20's with brown shoulder length hair, maybe 15 mins in the sun and finally went inside, they didn't have our order; said the order taker 'Darren' maybe? was busy - asked if our order was coming and the girl shrugged. No offer for a manager, no refund, gave us a free custard card. No offer to find this busy Darren to check in on it. Just going to dispute the charge with my credit company instead of waiting another 15 mins to get it made. Should have offered a refund, paid for a free treat coupon I guess? We sadly didn't say we wanted a receipt - who does in the drive through?!?! But it had to be in their order history. Abysmal service and our first impression with the place.
