Eating inside Zips is like going back in time, with retro music, semi-dim lighting and striped booths. Some tables were a little dirty, others cleaner.It also smelled pretty strongly of oil, but unhealthy and like gasoline. As my second time visiting the chain, I think the milkshakes are good! The fruit shakes ($6 minimum) are made with real fruit (not fresh, probably frozen) whereas the cheaper flavor alternative ($4 minimum) uses syrup. I personally felt the butterscotch was too strong and sweet for me, but the strawberry fruit shake was great. I prefer to get dessert than food here, the large-size onion rings weren't worth the price especially since the bag could've been fuller. If I come back, I'd also prefer to go through drive through to avoid the strong oil smell. read more

We love the tub of crinkle cut French fries and milkshakes too...burgers are the bomb dot com!!

This was not a good experience at all. We went through the drive-thru and ordered our food, and afterward I went inside to use the restroom. I honestly wish I had gone in before ordering, because the smell alone would have been enough to make me turn around and leave. The food didn't feel fresh and just wasn't good, and the overall experience was disappointing. The service didn't help either. Zips is usually an easy, quick stop, but this location completely missed the mark. We won't be stopping here again. read more

Genuinely horrible. Wasted my money and time. Got a small tater tot, for almost $4 and the cup is not even a third full and it has 7 tots. Was in a time crunch, so could not say anything, but NEVER coming back. Awful Awful Awful!!!! #ghetto #hood read more

Small town America. The inside needs an upgrade. Its seems dirty and to a certain extent it is. It feels like the 1990's inside. But the food...oh lord the food. Good burger. Good portions on the side. Super affordable. The staff, mostly teenagers. But friendly with a good speed of service. Manager or shift lead, the adult of the shift, wearing a variation of a MAGA hat. He was a little awkward. Anyway great food, great service, the inside of the restaurant could use a good clean and a coat of paint. But worth stopping in. read more

This place sucks the omelet was way overdone and when asked the cook was an asshole and basically told me to f... off . First and last time I will ever eat here read more

Great French fries and delicious burgers. Chicken, fish and shrimp options abundance of Milkshakes to choose from close to the kids park and I-90. Dog park nearby and things for the entire family to do! read more

Foods Great always had been, but when I stopped here this time the manager lady was screaming at employees, using extreme verbal language while children were present. that was not appropriate or even slightly acceptable around customers this went on for around 5 minutes as the employees had to sit there and take it. (Update she quit and let everyone very annoyingly know) Sorry for the hard workers who are here actually helpful Zips get a good team leader! read more

We recently stopped at the Zips drive in at Ritzville. It was. Lunch time but minimally attended. We ordered 2 burgers. While waiting we witnessed 3 wrong orders taken back. After 45 minutes they handed us our order to go and we headed out. Down the road we opened our bag to find 3 burgers and an all day sucker. The burgers were not at all worth the wait. read more

Flys flys everywhere. Horrible slow service. I should have gone to another location but lesson learned. The only thing that redeemed it was the tater sauce. read more

This place needs to think about what they serve with popcorn chicken... the choices are ketchup, tartar sauce, and fry sauce... and to get ranch they want to charge you for it.... It's chicken so bbq sauce, ranch, honey mustered.... NOPE! read more

I wished I would've looked at the ratings on this zips before I ordered from it. I don't know how this place stays open. 20 minutes. I'm still waiting for a fish sandwich and a milkshake. I have tried to food yet. I hope it's better service. Update, we never received our order, got tied of waiting and got a refund read more

They reheat the fries probably out of the trash ben you call them and their like ok I will let the foul mouth fellows in the back know not let's make it right there very unprofessional and your probably getting yesterday's leftovers plus service is slow and not very polite read more

In theory at the time everything looked so good on the menu. We ordered way too much and one of the things I wanted was the fish. I asked for extra tartar. We honestly ordered too much food to go and I had asked if the tartar and the other sauces were there. She said yes I double checked. There was no one in the restaurant or drive thru. We waited a bit which was fine. But when we got home the entire order was messed up but one item. The stuff we got that was wrong was really not good. I was shocked it was so inedible. It wasn't busy at all so it was especially unfortunate. $68 down the drain. read more

This stop on a long drive home was welcomed! With hungry stomachs, we waited in line, which moved pretty quickly. My boyfriend and I shared the bucket of chicken bites and sodas. The chicken was... well.... chicken-ey! Nothing out of the ordinary there. The overall cleanliness of the place was a little disheartening though. The bathrooms felt (and smelled) icky. read more

Washington staple, zips drive in. on the way across Washington, is a good option. The view outside is better than the burgers, but a good home town burger joint. People working service is slow, but very nice. read more

Not sure why so many hater reviews on here about this place! Stopped here on a long drive with the family and service was GREAT, the girl at the counter was working her butt off, and a kind gentleman also at the counter offered some stickers to my kiddos. Simple and kind! Huge sucker in the kids meals so big win for them! Haters.. calm yourselves. You always so busy hating and reviewing! (I recommend this place!) read more

Out of all of the zips in the eastern Washington area, this has by far the worst chicken I have ever had the displeasure of consuming. Fries were fine as usual but definitely not worth 10 bucks, hoping to call and get a refund. Service was alright. read more

Really Really nice!!! 10/10 would come back here again! Cashier was extremely polite!

We sat in the drive-thru line for 20 minutes. We pa8d for 2 large drinks. I worked at Zips in my high school years. This picture is a medium drink. Then, they added insult to injury. We never did get straws or napkins. This Zips needs to step up their game! Horrible! read more

I was a little hesitant to go to this location because it had a good number of 1 star reviews. But it is a fast food place and most of them get 1 star reviews so I tried it out. I believe it is a chain in Washington for I saw another location near the hotel I was staying at. I ordered the Papa Joe's burger which is a single beef patty burger with a piece of ham and lettuce. To me it was like a breakfast burger. I went with a combo which came with crinkle fries and a drink. I got my food and went to the condiment area and it was nice to see fry sauce. The burger was okay. I really liked the fries with the sauce. read more

I grew up eating Zips, so this pains me to leave such a bad review. This Zips locations is terrible. We ordered a bunch of food in the drive thru. I knew the guy didn't order our food right so I asked him to repeat the order and corrected it. Then after waiting about 15 minutes in line, we finally get our food. I asked for ranch dressing that we didn't get. The guy says "do you have the ticket they gave you." I said "well you were the one who took my money and you never gave me a ticket." Then he goes to get ranch and I think the cooks gave him a hard time and made him find our ticket before giving him the ranch. I The service was weird and slow. I know you have a bunch of young people working here, so maybe management could take some time to help train or help out, knowing how busy you are. read more

Food quality was meh, service was poor, and restaurant was dirty. $30 for two burgers and fries, and a tiny cup of ranch was an extra charge. Flies all over and the bathroom was out of supplies. I usually prefer local places over chains, but this one is a hard pass. Plenty of other options in the immediate area. read more

Hi Zip's... Can you please be family friendly and get a changing table in the restroom?! I went in the men's room and there wasn't one so I asked the girl working if there was one in the other room so my wife could go in and she said no but the men's counter is big enough to use. I replied that the men's counter is disgusting. As I was turning around another employee said "that's not our fault.". No, it's not your fault that there isn't a changing table but it IS your fault that the bathroom looks like homeless people live there. Why on earth would you treat customers like this? read more

Great service great food great peopleI would 10 out of 10 recommend this place if you're passing through

Whoever was taking orders in the drive thru today at 1:00 needs a break, to go home or maybe a new job. SO RUDE! We asked a simple question, what BBQ sauce do you use and was told I don't know, it's BBQ sauce. Isn't there a bottle to look at or a cook to ask?! Was very snappy to us while we were ordering. If we weren't so hungry on our roadtrip we would've just drove off. Leave your bad attitude at home!!! My 3 year old granddaughter acts must better than this person. read more

Sat in the drive thru for 36 minutes watching cars go by an never got our food. The lady keep making up excuses an just never showed back up to the window. We honked the horn a couple times, no one showed, so I just went inside a got a refund! We have been goin to this place since I was a kids:( kinda disappointed! read more

This zips was thoroughly depressing. It has every negative old stereotype of fast food places. The entire place had a funky smell especially bathrooms which just reeked. There was an air of uncleanliness, and disrepair. The food was inconsistently cooked with some being over and some undercooked. Nothing had much of any flavour. For the quality of the food you may think it was especially quick, but that's also not the case. Bottom line: it was food, it's in the middle of nowhere so if you have no other options you could go here. I'd suggest to stay on the road for another hour to find something better. read more

I normally won't do a fast food joint because - well, you know - expectations are kind of low to begin with. But this place needs to have a sign that says , "Warning, enter at your own risk!" Seriously! Zip isn't so zippy when it come to the service. The staff reminded me of a Hendrix song, "Dazed and Confused". Yes, it was that bad. And the food was tossed out after a few bites. Cold, sloppy, and lacked any real "wow factor " for me to have to ever come back. Ever! Now, my error was pulling off the interstate to make a quick - and unfortunate - stop without using Yelp to locate some better places. So, don't do what I did. Heck, if you really need a fast food burger, go the Golden Arches across the road. read more

Got their "Philly cheesesteak" that was served on a smal size hamburger bun with some chewy thin flat strips of beef like beef jerky or gyros meat looking except thinner and tasted like absolute shit. This sandwich should be called Philly cheese shot because it resembled its namesake or even a little. It was barely edible and i about threw it out after three or four bites. I shall not be back. read more

I give this place a 4 because of its awesome and cheap menu! Don't expect a fantastic dining experience but expect a retro American, grab n go diner sort of deal. Great place for kids/teens since all of the food is very simple (burgers, corn dogs, grilled cheese, etc). I came here with a bunch of teenagers after a youth camp and after having not so great camp food plus a couple hours on the road.. this place really hit the spot for all of them. I got the grilled cheese which was nothing special about it, and the vanilla shake. Again, nothing special but still a treat while you're on a road trip and if you're open to trying new yet a familiar experience. read more

We always seem to end up here on a Sunday. Good and fast food each time. Much better than going to a McDonalds or Carls. People have to realize that this is not a gourmet restaurant, It is a fast food place and rate it based on that. We love that they have excellent music cranked up ever time that we come in. This place is always very busy. They do a great job keeping up with the constant flow of customers, and are very quick at getting the order out. One thing I have to mention. Please remodel the bathrooms. Those things are really run down, and not very clean. read more

Would let me update on Google So Yelp it is Stopped and ordered a wrangler no bbq sauce Add mustard and pickles Easy Kid was wrapping it up and noticed he did out bbq sauce on it Drops a quiet F bomb Older guy says "what happened" kids like added bbq say no bbq, remake older guy says Kid turns away from him then is wrapping it again We had order extra condiments, I asked did tarter and ketchup get in bag ...

Our table was dirty and lots of flys, the burgers have no flavor and are way over priced and take about 20 mins to get your order. My shake looked like they just put soft serve chocolate icecream in a cup and not to mention, I got my shake 15min. After we got our food. Don't waste your time, just go to McDonald's down the street and save yourself some time and money. read more

This is the worst Zip's that I've ever been to. The one in Cheney, the best btw. But here food was gross. Fish sandwich was gooey half cooked, half cold. Fry oil not hot enough. Yuckola. read more

Seriously grody. The chicken strips did NOT look like chicken inside. It was foamy and wet inside the chicken strips ! I pulled them all apart so they would be smaller for my daughter to eat & immediately noticed the weird foamy white texture. Not only that but it took forever to get the food and they tried no less then 4 times to give us other peoples food. It was almost $60 for our order and that didn't include fries except with the chicken strips, & they were clearly pre frozen heated up fries. The chicken tenders being foamy and moist was really gross though and disappointing. Staff was kind & the building was cute. The rest I can't say anything nice about though. read more

Mediocre burger for a premium price. No to Zips, not worth the money at all and would just keep driving!

Why is there so much hate for this place? I've been to Zips before, but not the one in Ritzville. Out family of four each enjoyed burgers, perfectly cooked fries, and some amazing breaded mushrooms. We devoured everything and it was cooked to perfection. Husband said the burgers were better than Red Robin. Kids meals came with massive rainbow lollipops! The inside's a little outdated, and I'd prefer they had paper towels in the bathroom but overall it was great. I just wish the mushrooms didn't cost the same as the burgers. read more
