I was on a road trip and stopped by here because I had never seen a Zip's before and it was better than I expected! I had the Grand and it was a great burger - better than Dick's. The fries are ok but the tater tots (Gems) are a must have - perfectly fried and crispy, and they're a match made in heaven with the fry sauce which is kind of like thousand island in the best way. read more

Zip's Drive In - a person holding a hamburger and fries - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Ah HA! They are selling Cod and Chips now instead of Halibut (don't get me wrong, I love Halibut, but is has to be cooked right or it gets rubbery). The Cod is different from the standard 'Zips' cod I get around Spokane, more like an actual fillet. Very good! And the fries are excellent as usual. Outstanding!!! read more

Hands down ! This one IS THE BEST Zips around ! Been to em all, and these guys and gals absolutely nail it every time. Great staff. Great deals. Breakfast ! More Hurricane flavors than the others. And the machines aren't ever "down" we we roll in for our usual. We have our regular booth to enjoy our delicious meal in while reading the paper and relaxing as I believe this place was intended for so many years ago. We go here A LOT ! Honestly we choose this Zips over any other drive thru in the area because of it's consistency and just a pleasure to be served by these guys and gals. Keep up the good work ! See you again soon, no doubt ! read more

Hair in fry sauce, disgusting won't EVER go back, Health dept. needs to do an inspections. read more

Zip's Drive In - Hair in sauce - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Speed: 4/10 Flavor: 5/10 Friendliness: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Double meat (small size) burger and small drink 11$ Bread stale and not buttery. Drive through had one car and it took 10+ to get through. The meat patty is good but that really the only compliment I can muster... read more

This is a pretty standard Zip's. The menu seems more streamlined than in years past. On this occasion, the service was excellent from bringing my food out to the table to helping a pair of customers get what they wanted for the best price. I feel that this Zip's would benefit from a makeover. Although it's clean, it feels tired. If you are a fan of Zip's burgers, you will not be disappointed. If you want a more upscale burger experience, then you may have to drive up the road to Waddell's. read more

Our first time trying Zips and I am shocked that my turkey club, wife's chicken sandwich, large fries, small shake, and small fountain drink came to $29. The shake was less than the small soda drink!! Amazing to say the least. My turkey club was good but $9 is a little high. My wife and I figured we might as well do McDonalds or BurgerKing since you probably pay half the price if not more! We are new here and would like to check out the different eateries that we haven't eaten at. I can scratch off this place and probably will not do a revisit:( read more

Zip's is one of the better small fast food chains. This particular one has excellent staff, fairly quick, who never screw up your order. I can never give a fast food restaurant a five, but this one is pretty top notch. Definitely a place to consider if you're in a hurry in Spokane. read more

My expectations walking into this place were cheap and tasty food served quickly. Happy to report the expectations were met. Zips is a 30+ unit chain located in Washington and Idaho. Not being from the area this was news to me. The menu showed plenty of burger, chicken and fish options. I was feeling burger. Ordered the "Big Zippy". It is a big burger and should be able to tackle most appetites. It is three 1/8lb patties with American, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and mayo. The patties are prepared on a flattop and cooked to well. They were seasoned well and overall it was tasty. The burger is placed on submarine style squishy white bread. The fries were crinkle cut and generous for the small combo size. The fries are of the frozen variety. Overall, a cheap meal served in a friendly manner in a clean restaurant. read more

See all

I'm from NY.. when i was introduced to Zip's I did not know i'd fall in love!!! I have not had fries or burgers like this in NY. When I'm in town, I gotta stop by. I love you, Zips! read more

OH My... I have eaten at Zips since I was a little kid and let me tell you the food is always fresh and the fries are OUTSTANDING. The tartar sauce is homemade and goes great with the fries. If you want something good but fast then ZIPS fits the bill. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

I ordered a Strawberry Milkshake and I shit you not there was over 6 1/4'd strawberries in it... I didn't ordered a parfait and I certainly don't enjoy having to stop every sip to dig half an entire strawberry out of my straw! I can't believe they had the audacity to actually hand me this frickin thing. read more

I ordered 2 double burgers. Both came with 2 very small overly salted patties, 2 sliced pickles and a teaspoon of ketchup on both ($12). It was the driest, saltiest most lack luster $12 set of burgers anyone could have the displeasure of ordering! Won't ever be going back. read more

What I love about this place: Halibut & fries each with its own tasty sauce Great service Immaculate dining area Booth style seating w/comfortable seats read more

Its the absolute slowest place I have ever ordered food in my life. They're nice, the food is good. Bring a good 45 minutes of wait time. I don't know what the hell they do back there but it takes a LOOOOONG time to get your food. read more

This place is way overpriced for the shit quality of food very disappointed I had two small pieces of halibut fish and a basket of oversalted fries for $16 they are out of their fucking mind you don't get coleslaw with it or anything else and then they're rude to you on top of it I wouldn't recommend a rat to go here and eat read more

This Zip's drive in is the most expensive Zip's in spokane. Ridiculous high prices. Literally cheaper to eat a bacon burger at Red Robin

I'm what world is a cheeseburger and small fry 8$ my burger looked like it was literally slapped together and I don't think it was even slightly worth the money just go to McDonald's read more

Food smelled great but i was not able to eat anything due to getting sick. NOT CAUSED BY THE FOOD. as i wasn't able to eat. I did get one fry down before it happened. the fry I ate tasted standard for fast food nothing special but nothing bad. read more

I wasn't expecting much from here, but actually I had a very pleasant time. The guy who took my order was so friendly with a great customer service. Food came fast and it was good. I'll go again. read more

Tried Zip's for the first time, expecting something special/unique. Though the burger was fine, it wasn't much different from any fast food burger. The tater tots in tarter sauce were pretty tasty. Staff was very welcoming and food came out fast. read more

Worst Zips in Spokane area, have given it several tries beings how it's local. Employees are unfriendly & lack basic customer service skills. Food is hit or miss, my best experience still had over seasoned fries and patty. The other locations I've been to have been great! read more

The food is pretty good for the price, but make sure to check your bag. They forgot a large fry for me, and when I went back they made me wait a few minutes just to give me a small fry. I didn't feel like wasting anymore time so I didn't argue after the second error. The fries are nothing to write home about anyway -- basically just taste like extra salty frozen crinkle cut fries. read more

Here's the thing with Zips. The drive thru service is...time challenged. However, their Hurricane (ice cream blended dessert with Butterfinger, Oreo, or Reese's) is superior. read more

Ok. I'll be honest. I am reviewing Zips as a first time customer. Don't know which one I went to except that it is the one closest to Gonzaga University. Coming from Texas where we have In and Out Burger, I was so pleasantly surprised to see something different like Zips! I had the fish and chips and I LOVED them. Fish was not greasy, fries reminded me of Runza fries from the Midwest and the customer service was great! I also had a chocolate milkshake which was amazing. Will definitely be back. LOVED me some Zips. read more

This is the first time that my husby & I have gone into a Zip's.... having no clue what it was & seeing the burger specials on a reader board. I don't know how this one south of Spokane rates with others of its kind, but it was disgustingly dirty. Grossly stained carpets & bathroom floors, the wood in the corners of all the booths look as though may small dogs have gnawed on them... the covers of the feminine products containers in the women's bathroom all had no lids & were full. I won't go into much more detail than that as I'm sure you can only imagine what it looked & smelled like. It's obvious that whomever owns this facility has not updated, upgraded or has done anything with this sad little restaurant in a very, very long time. And, unfortunately, we saw all of this AFTER we ordered our food. My Husby's burger was good but mine was very sad, thin & hardly noticeable there was meat within the bun. Fast is all we wanted with fairly low expectations... but for a not-super-cheap price, slow service & a restaurant that makes question the hygiene of the entire place, we're just hoping that we don't end up sick. read more

this is one of those dont-know-what-you've-got-till-its-gone places. when i lived in spokane, i rarely indulged in fast food. but EVERYTHING about zips makes me happy. and now that i live in seattle, i weep for zips fries on a very regular basis. -their menu is awesome. it has grilled cheese. and corndogs. and anything else you have always wished all drive thrus served -they sell the best fries ever in tubs!!! these tubs used to be the size of a large soft drink with fries printed on the side. AMAZING. now, they use these wide tubs with no fries on the side and they don't fit in my cup holder. wtf, zips? -best tarter ever. seriously inexplicable. and they come in those nice little plastic tubs, same with ketchup. -things are always hot. they're always friendly. and they dont judge you if you ask for a lot of tarter and ketchup. i would do anything to bring a zips closer to seattle. until then, its one the major motivations i have to come home for the holidays. read more

Ive been going to the Zips in Spokane since it opened. Its a favorite place of mine and everyone that I know. I wish Zips would open a store in the Seattle area read more

The absolute worst Zip's in town is in Spokane Valley on Sprague between University and Bowdish. I went through the drive thru and waited for approximately 30 minutes just to get to the window. I started to pull away with my order and realized that they had not given me my fries. I pulled in and went inside, told the girl behind the counter and she said they will be right out. She then walked away. I watched 3 orders of fries leave the back and go to the drive thru. Finally another employee came over, I told him what I had told the first employee and he said we have to make them in the order in which they were ordered. When I reminded him that I had ordered mine 30 minutes ago he replied, " we'll get them, I'm not worried about it" Are you kidding me?! Meanwhile as cars are backing up in the drive thru the girl who messed up my order in the first place and another girl were just chatting at the counter. Worst customer service ever! I will never go back! Side note: they should real have an adult present at these stores, pretty sure the average age of the staff was around 17. read more

I'm a fan of zips in general, the downtown & locations up north are very good, and have decent deals and prices. The South Hill location though, is a complete rip off. Rude mediocre teenage staff, one of which I overheard talking about how he was "tripping balls on acid for the past week." Quite often i'm obliged to go to this location as a lot of my friends frequent it... but I'd much rather spend my money at the downtown location. read more

I'm moving to California in about a week so I decided I better try Zip's before I leave. I order the Joe burger and it's pretty good. The burger is a thin beef patty, a slice of ham with lettuce and mayo. I really enjoyed the sandwich and also their tarter sauce. However, I have to knock 1 star off because the place looked like it belonged in the 80's. Overall, the Zip's is a great burger place with very reasonable prices. read more

Me and my friends always come here when we come and visit my friend at her school. It's become s tradition to get zips when we arrive and when we leave. Just because we don't have it in Seattle. But I can say I have never been disappointed the burgers and the chicken sandwiches are always really good.. read more

I've tried the various Zip's around town and was never really that impressed. Either I was there on an exceptional day or this location is better than the rest. The chicken strip basket was delicious and the the fries were very fresh. The reason I give this place 4 stars is because the bathroom situation. First, it's OUTSIDE the restaurant second, it's DISGUSTING. So as long as you don't have to use the restroom, you are set! read more

Quality is a hit or miss. They forgot the whipped cream & peanuts on my sundae (which I specifically requested & I even heard them repeat back to me) and without it tasted bland. Boo. read more

Yum. Fish and chips. Were great. 3 pieces with fries for $10. Satisfied! I would buy again.

Expensive for the portion size. A double bacon cheese burger will not come close to filling you up unless you are a child or a very petite woman. Their fries are pretty lacking. I will go to McDonalds over Zip's any day of the week. read more

Overpriced and greasy, but still tastes pretty good.

I have been eating Zips burgers and fries since I was a kid. I love the Big Zipper, I get it with tartar,lettuce and onion... I enjoy the fries but to be honest, they are just little edible spoons for their AMAZING tartar sauce. Keep it up Zips! read more

I dig zips more out of nostalgia than anything else, but the cheeseburger with extra pickles is delicious and cool crinkle fries. Eat em up

The guy doing the drive thru orders is rude and has the WORST customer service. Probably will never come back here again.
