A Bear Lake staple. We never come to the lake without visiting Zipz. My husband may like the Pineapple/Raspberry Dole Whip more than me. The portions are pretty large, we had plenty of leftovers. Everything comes out hot because they are cranking food out non stop. It is very busy, which can be hard with little children as you sit in the hot sun. However, the line typically goes really fast and they do have a drive thru. The fish and chips, mac and the cowboy burger are delicious. We also grabbed a muddy buddy shake. Drool. They have games in the back, my girls are pretty little and even though they couldn't really play them - they had fun pretending as they watched the big kids. read more

Favorite place while around Bear Lake / Garden City with a beach vibe. Best burgers and raspberry shakes in the area. Unlimited sodas and plenty of dipping sauces. food does take a few minutes -- made fresh as ordered. Plenty of seating (outside). Most seating is well shaded. Parking is in back. They do have a drive-thru. There are some back-yard games by the parking lot. This place is seasonal. read more

Zipz - Hot Dogs Near Me - Garden City, Utah

We decided to stop in for something to eat. We walked up to the counter, and there were a couple of people standing around and we decided on our order and then proceeded to attempt to order only to be told we aren't taking orders right now, our staff left for the parade. We thought that was very nice to pause for a moment to let your staff go and enjoy a fun activity that was right outside of the restaurant. They were back within a few minutes and they began taking orders. We didn't mind the short wait and we appreciated that the owners knew it was important to give their staff a little break. They have restrooms available for patrons, that are clean and tidy. Parking is in the back and along the street to the north, but nothing is available in the front so be aware of that. Handicap parking is in the back. They have a typical shake shack style menu and a few fun things, including Dole whip, the Disneyland style. They have a classic Bear Lake raspberry shake. You can get fish, burgers, chicken, and even corn dogs. Entrée items are sold separate from things like fries, tater tots, and onion rings. They also have sweet potato fries. We decided to each order a different side so that we could all try each other's. The fries, sweet potato fries and the onion rings are fantastic. Those are what we ordered. You can sit inside of a boat, at a traditional table with chairs, on a bench with a fun wooden hand, carved table, underneath a umbrella and a round table. There are pretty much plenty of options for receiving. They have what they call a sauce bar, which is a collection of different types of sauces for your sides. It's fun to choose a few different ones and taste them all with your sides. We had the Bear Lake Muenster burger, the cheeseburger, a corn dog, and the honey chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich and the corndog were great. The Muenster burger was pretty good, but the cheeseburger was nothing to write home about - it was undercooked and they used American cheese instead of cheddar cheese, which isn't my favorite and made it a lot more bland. It had hardly any sauce on it And there was only one tomato on. It was a very large sandwich but not a lot of flavor. The buns they use are fantastic but know that they are a softer bun so if you don't like a soft bun you may not like their sandwich, so just get it without a bun and eat it with a fork and knife Items can be made gluten-free, it didn't appear they had anything in term of vegan options other than the sides, but I'm sure they would make something custom. When they took our order, they were extremely friendly and they were very fast when it came to our food getting to us. There is a place to play games in the back that includes cornhole, a giant connect 4 game, and just enjoying the music. The music wasn't something we could hear very well, but it would've been fun to hear it because it seemed to be a good mix. Unfortunately, mostly what we heard the entire time we were there were orders being called over a loudspeaker. So if you don't want to hear the loudspeaker don't sit under the covered area. Overall, this is a fun new, hip beach joint. Great for lunch or stopping after a day on the lake. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. Short answer: it's OVER hyped. It definitely deserves some hype... they do a lot of things right. But there are glaring areas for improvement. What they do right: Raspberry shake Fries Sauce options Chicken What needs desperate attention: The sloppy factor for their burgers/sandwiches. The price vs. value We got the double cheeseburger with pastrami. The flavor was way too salty and holy shit was it soggy. I picked it up and took the first bite and the layers immediately slid out the back with tons of juice just oozing out. I couldn't put it down let alone pick it up again for a second bite without it just gushing sauce and grease and tomato. Luckily I have little kids so I had wet wipes handy. No amount of napkins would have kept that mess at bay. My husband got the sticky chicken sandwich. And that one was quite delicious with perfect flavor (it's basically wingers sticky finger sauce. So if that's what you anticipate when you order it, you'll be very happy.) but again, upon the first bite it was literally just juices everywhere. I am not exaggerating by saying that the bottom of the little carstock boat they serve it in was totally covered in juice only 2 bites in. It was a ticking time bomb before the buns, which were actually very tasty and a great texture and structure, were just... soggy. Finally the price. We got the burger, the sandwich, and 3 kids meals, and one large shake. $65. The entrees to me feel for like they are worth 7-10 bucks... not 10-15. The kids meals were $7. Should have been like $4.99. Also their board menu prices did not match their QR code online menu. That's annoying and sloppy to me. All in all, this was a great place, but not one I would prioritize while in the area from out of town. I'd be happy to try somewhere new next time. I don't have any loyalty to them for a burger and fries. That isn't a hard menu to get absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was fun and the outdoor decor is super cute and playful. They had a TON of seating, both covered and uncovered. They also have a handful of lawn games free to use and that is a super cute touch. Very family and dog friendly. The people who took our order and prepared the food were very nice, and the service was very quick. I can tell their kitchens workflow is very smooth. They just gotta get a lock on their sandwiches moisture levels and execution. read more

Zipz isn't it for me. Long lines, slow service, and overpriced food and shakes. Compared to other shakes in the area, this one tasted very artificial. It wasn't terrible but definitely a let down to the neighboring competition. We waited in line for 20+ minutes and then waited another 20+ for our single shake to be ready. And it didn't really feel like it was worth it. ZIpz might not be my cup of tea, but there's a chance it's yours. So give it a try the next time you're in town! read more

We passed the long line at Zips a few times wondering what we were missing, and finally decided to try it. The restaurant has a good layout with lots of seating and yard games, and they call your order over an intercom so you can hear in the crowd. They have good fry sauce but the rest of the food is very mediocre. Our fries were barely salted, and salt isn't offered among the sizable seasoning & sauce bar! I tried the coconut shrimp basket which was fine- it and our fries came out pretty fast, our shakes a couple minutes later... and our burgers were ready almost 15 minutes after the fries! They were decent large burgers but the timing made for an awkward meal. The shakes definitely are 'least famous'- ie don't even bother, go to another spot for a better one!

Zipz - Seating area - Hot Dogs Near Me - Garden City, Utah

Stopped by Zipz while spending a week at Bear Lake and for classic fast food fare, it was great. We tried a bit of everything from fries, onion rings, tatter tots, basic cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, chicken sandwich and coconut shrimp. My 13 yo son ordered the cheeseburger. "I had a very big juicy burger that tasted very good and had a good amount of bacon. I also love their fries and tater tots they were cooked to perfection and tasted very delicious and crunchy." 4.5/5 My 16 yo daughter ordered the chicken fingers that came with 5 large fingers, she only ate 3 of them. "I got the chicken fingers and they were wonderful. It came with many fingers, all breaded deliciously and the ranch they had to dip in had a very cool and complimentary taste." 4.5/5 I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich and while the flavor was really good with a little sweet and spicy, not hot, and really good, it was a little messy. I would order it again. 4/5 My wife ordered the coconut shrimp and they were some of the best I've ever had, yes I stole a couple. Dipping sauce was excellent. 5/5 Pineapple Dole whip was cold and refreshing and tasted great. 5/5 Fries tots and onion rings were all good, but I thought the onion rings lacked a little flavor. 4/5 The dipping sauces at the outside bar were fun and plentiful. We'll be back. read more

Zipz - Little bit of everything - Hot Dogs Near Me - Garden City, Utah

If you're looking for a great hometown burger zips is the place to go! Burgers are fresh made shakes are big and delicious and who doesn't love a sauce bar with an order of fries or onion rings! You know it's going to be good when the line stretches down the block! I had a lot of miles to feed so it was a a little expensive, but great value for the money! read more

A few years later and we still love Zipz! You can't go wrong with ordering their cheeseburger and a side of fries. They are both cooked to perfection. My husband usually loves their banana cream pie shake, but they made it differently this time and he was left disappointed. My daughter was really looking forward to the fried Oreos, but it looks like they removed those from the menu. They also ran out of their famous Zipz sauce (it was 11:00am when we went). We were bummed, but we'll be back next year :) P.S. If you like muddy buddies, get the shake! It's delicious! read more

Lines are always long if you go at night (during summer), but they are quick. Onion rings are 5 stars! Burgers are great. Shakes are good, not great - I prefer the shakes from LaBeau next door, but Zips has better food read more

We loved the burgers at Zipz--especially the Bear Lake Muenster burger, which was absolutely delicious. And to our surprise, the raspberry shake here was even better than La Beau's! read more

WOWWWW! This place is a dream for family friendly vacations. Tons of seating, lots of games like corn hole, ping pong, giant jenga, and quick and easy service. The food was out of this world!

So 5 start! Sweetest humans working there. We were there on July 4th and the service was so fast... to be honest, I don't really love ice cream but I was told I cannot be in Garden City and not have a raspberry shake. I LOVED IT! It was so refreshing, & of course I got cheesecake in mine because why not! If you are at bear lake you need to stop by!! Such a cute place! I think from now on this is the only ice cream I'll eat, it's so yummy!! read more

Great food and super fun decor . The food quality is the best in all of Garden City!!

The food at Zipz is amazing. Being a local place in the little town of Garden City, you never know what kind of quality food, service or ambience you're going to get. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. You think it'll be fast food/diner food quality but it's not. It's quality restaurant food, with amazing flavors and innovation that will keep you coming back for more. After waiting two hours in the drive through the last weekend they were open for the season, our entire SUV filled with people were more than happy that we waited once we got our food. The Bear Lake Muenster burger is incredible. Pure genius, flavor explosion that embodies the essence of Bear Lake. The Philly Cheesesteak was the best any of us has ever had, we got an extra one that they through in for us and we were all passing it around enjoying every last bite. The fries are delicious, the sweet potatoe fries are also delicious. The fried ravioli was a huge hit, and had us thinking about it for the next few days. The hand dipped corn dogs are also top notch, and they have drinkin' ranch. Being from the midwest, the entire family is full of ranch aficionados and their ranch has our stamp of approval. The shakes are also delicious and over the top! Don't forget the dole whip! Everything is so so good! You won't be disappointed! read more

Favorite spot at bear lake! The Muenster burger is the best burger in Utah. It's also so cute :)

Me and my friend went to Zipz on Saturday night. Waited in the drive thru for an hour. Both ordered different food. We both got really sick, and the meat looked and smelled like it wasn't the same quality as in the past-in the past I have loved coming here, but after the wait and getting sick I will not be coming back. No one wants to get sick on vacation. read more

Closed 8 months out of the year but it's the place to be in the summer. Always crowded. Great food, fun stickers, and more covered seating than expected. Close to shops. Food came quick. Dogs friendly read more

Had shakes. They were made quickly and tasted good. I had raspberry, it had chunks of raspberry in it.

Hey what you expect here. The lines are long (45 minutes) the shakes are the best I've sampled around the lake. Lots of shade for sitting. My wife and I came here with the family twice this weekend. When we asked how many fish were in the fish and chips they said 4 but it only came out with 3. read more

Great variety of food and friendly service. The wait can be fairly long at peak times.

UPDATE: I wish my second try here was as good as the first. Raspberry shake is still amazing. The only thing is that I got tots this time and they were way over cooked. It was more fried than potatoes. Very disappointing. The burger flavor and juiciness are great but they're just kind of plain. Fries and shakes are still awesome. Tots need some work though. read more

Love their motto of "least famous shakes" or something like that. Shakes are still amazing. Food was sublime. Seasoning on the tots was to die for and the copy sauce? Hello!!! Amazing!! Such a fun vibe with tons of yard games like corn hole, giant jenga and many more. Definitely worth the wait. read more

Stopped here en route to SLC. A Friday in August at about 1:30pm. Waited about 15min to order and 15 to get our food. My husband ordered a Cheeseburger and added pastrami and I got the Muenster burger. We both got gluten free buns and tots. They do have specifically GF hand cut fries for those with an allergy. The food was delicious! It will definitely be a future stop for us on our road trips. read more

Raspberry shakes are fantastic!!! Be prepared to wait for a long time to order and then for your food. Fun place, with cute decor.

We are from out of town and stoped by there is a drive through as well as a walk up. The food was amazing!

The best addition to Garden City's food scene by far! I remembered when this location was a rundown old house. The original structure was built in 1925 and finally in 2014, Zipz was born--and we're so glad it was! I love that they own the fact that they're not the oldest shake in town, hence the "Least Famous Shake" motto. But that's okay because their shakes are great and the quality of food amazes me. Bear Lake has needed a joint like this and they finally have one. Burgers, fries, fish n' chips, chicken sandwiches, hand dipped corn dogs and more! Their fries are battered (can come GF) and make the absolute perfect crispy compliment to my ice cream. The shakes were on the milkier side, but still tasty. I wished my raspberry shake was a little stronger on the raspberry, but I really liked their cookie dough chocolate chip shake, because the chips were pulverized flecks. Very delightful! This is my new MUST-stop in Bear Lake! read more

Zipz is a fun little spot. The ambiance is highly rated and keeps kids away from the street. Plus it's the only spot in town with a drive through. As far as food goes, it's some of the best in garden city, though definitely on the pricier side. Kid options alone are $7, but I love that their shakes come in mini sizes. Shakes are slightly above average but not the best in town (we tried raspberry shakes at 8 different places this week). Will be back here. read more

The only place to get pastrami on a burger and man! It was awesome!! The raspberry shakes were tasty too.

I have been going to Zipz for years. I have personally recommended it to many people over the years due to great service, excellent food and reasonable prices. WHAT HAPPENED??!!? Today we went through the drive through. We were in line for 1hour and 37 minutes with ONLY 10 cars in front of us. NO exaggeration. Then when we got our food for 3 people. 3 orders of chicken tenders, order of onion rings, an order of tots and 3 small shakes came to $70. SERIOUSLY? Now the really disappointing part .... The shakes were not the usual thick shakes, the onion rings and tots were so greasy they were inedible. For the chicken soooooo over cooked they were dry. Well dry and greasy. So disappointed as Zipz has been my favorite place in Utah. After today I am not in any hurry to go back. Yeah sure they could have had a bad day. But every aspect of the experience was the worst I have experienced at any restaurant for years. Hope they can get things like they used to be. ... thick shakes, great sides and best chicken tenders in Utah. And all with great service and a reasonable price. Otherwise they will not be around for next summer. read more

The chicken sandwich was good. My 2 kids ordered the adult chicken tenders. They were HUGE and could have split a meal- not only due to size, but because they didn't taste good. They ended up eating only 1 because they couldn't get past the taste. We also got a dolewhip - which was good. Overall they were friendly enough for service, but we will stick with LeBeaus next time. read more

When you first get in line it may look intimidating. However we were almost in line with the LaBeau's pick up window and it was about 25 minutes in line. There are backyard games like Jenna and corn hole amongst plenty of seating. Our order came out very fast with shakes arriving first. I got the Bear lake burger with the Jalapeño jelly and it was delicious! I had sweet potato fries and a mini dole whip. There is a sauce bar you can get all your dipping sauces from ketchup, fry sauce, BBQ, ranch and whatever they have that day. From ordering food to picking it up at the window was about 15 minutes. Very impressed with the service and the environment. Perfect for large families and kids! read more

Props for the inventive styling and ubiquitous water skis, Zipz makes for a fun addition to the Bear Lake dining scene. The food is slightly more elevated than it's counterparts, and I even enjoyed sitting in "the boat" when we had the rare opportunity to snag a seat. I do get tired of the over-touted "Famous Bear Lake Raspberry Shake," and I've enjoyed their raspberry Dole Whip option in the past as an alternative. Zipz is all around fun, and will give you that "I'm on holiday in a lake town" feel. Definitely recommend giving it a try. read more
