    Breakfast Sandwich
    Kent R.

    This place has a great breakfast sandwich! Hot, fresh, and just all around quality. It was about $19 for this and a bottle of water so on par for other airport food. I can tell this place is cook to order and it still only took about 5 minutes. Will definitely remember this next time I'm in Sky Harbor on a morning flight.

    Surprisingly good fancyburger for the airport. Had the jalepeno burger - def got a kick and I love it. Reasonable service speeds, great quality food. That's really all I need for a quick bite.

    I was impressed with the size and pricing of the burger especially for food at the airport. The burger was really good and filling. The burgers came with two patties. The service is quick and very friendly staff! There's no seating.

    I'm always impressed when I enjoy a meal at an airport. I'm even more impressed when the food is so good it keeps me coming back to the establishment anytime I'm passing through. That's Zinburger for me! I've been to this location three times now. The service is great and I always get my food in less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately the menu is limited, but understandably so for an airport location. Each time, I leave a happy customer. On my most recent visit, I chowed down on the Samburger (applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce and 1000 island dressing, $13.95) and a small hand cut fries ($3.50). This was my second time ordering this burger and I swear it slapped harder than the first. There's crazy flavor in the patty and the bacon was perfectly cooked! Cheese was melted just right and the 1000 island adds nice zing that separates this sandwich from your average. The fries, as always, were deliciously crispy and nicely salted. I really, really hope this place stays. I look forward to returning and, hopefully, checking out one of their other locations next time I'm in AZ. I'd love to pair one of these bad boys with some wine!

    Trying to grab a quick bite before your flight, try this place. I am not a fan of this terminal at Phoenix airport. On the day I was here, it was wall-to-wall people with nowhere to sit, lines for all of the food places, and a general chaos-type atmosphere. But we were hungry and Zinburger looked like it didn't have a line. Looks can be deceiving. While there wasn't an ordering line, there were a bunch of people waiting for their food. This is an order and wait for your number kind of place. There is nowhere to sit at the restaurant once you get your order either. I ended up taking my burger and onion rings to a nearby bar type standing and eating place next door. The burger was decent for a quick-service restaurant. There weren't enough condiments on the burger but overall, not bad. The onion rings were trash. They were very overcooked and were really bad. I ended up trashing them. Had the terminal not been so packed it probably wouldn't have been so bad. I hate standing and eating.

    The Zinburger location at the Phoenix airport is small like an old fashioned hamburger stand with fewer burgers and sides on the menu and no alcohol. They brought as much freshness and flavors to the airport. Fries that are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside is a good tell tale sign of freshness. What they didn't bring were premium airport prices. I think the zinburger and samburger are actually lower than outside locations as of today in early Feb 2024.

    Zinburger currently has six locations in Arizona. This one at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (or just 'Sky Harbor') offered a limited subset of their full menu. Their signature Zinburger had two meat patties, cooked a little longer than I would have liked and it came out medium-well done. The quality of the meat was good enough but a little dry. There is a lot of cheese which became a gooey mess. I don't think I've seen Manchego Cheese, a Spanish cheese obtained from sheep milk, on a burger before, but it works, though it's rather sloppy. There isn't any seating at this restaurant, so you end up eating it in your seat in the airport boarding areas, and you may have to clean your hands after eating, before boarding your plane, because your hands may be a bit messy.

    Located in the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Terminal 4 in the food section area. They have a simple menu, and the drinks are located on the left side of the order counter. We got the Zinburger and the West Coast Chicken Burger for lunch. The burgers were good. They didn't have seating, so we just ate at the flight waiting area.

    Cool open vibe on active street corner, impressively large list of cocktails, ordered wings (enough heat to make lips tingle), fried zucchini sticks (addictive amt of crunchy outside/moist inside), Zinburger cooked to Medium perfection, Passionfruit unsweet tea added tropical flair, covered fries were tasty = every item is well-made, service quick and frequent, absolutely worth a visit and the value!

    Burger was Meh, plain & simple- asked for no tom, extra lettuce. charged $1+ for 2 tbl of lettuce w/o telling me. Forgot my pickles
    Coco J.

    This place said the pickles came on the side of the burger. -- No seating so after I walked away sat down opened my burger I found no pickles. &&& Was charge an extra dollar for extra lettuce... it's not cheese guys, it's lettuce- $1? If you're gonna up charge u should tell the customer not sneak it on the bill. My dad commented the burgers would taste a lot better if they were fresh. Patties seemed dried out and a little hard. Would not recommend the burger at all. I'm allergic to cheese so I couldn't really try any of their fancy burgers, as I'm sure you know places never give you money back when you ask to take a topping off, but they sure are quick to charge you extra money for something like two spoonfuls of lettuce. so I just ordered a plain burger... no tomato, no mayo extra lettuce (charge $1 extra without telling me) ... Burger bread was ok and so were regular fries. The fries were actually pretty good (4stars) and are the only thing I would recommend here - though they were expensive and the portion was small. My mom's sweet potato fries were under cooked and she didn't finish them -- they seemed partially raw. We arrived at this airport weary after many travel delays and reroutes and ate here as it was one of the few places still open around 930pm Monday night . If I had to do over again, I would've eaten at the bar next-door. I didn't realize they were still serving food next-door over there. The food looks way better than what we got. Staff was friendly, food was mediocre at best. *edited to correct autocorrect spelling errors

    Diablo with no lettuce and hand-cut fries

    I was SO excited to find my favorite fast food burger chain listed in the PDX airport directory. Sadly, after a bit of scouting, "the Princess was in another castle," and my beloved Shake Shack was unaccessible from the Terminal I was in. With my head hung low like Charlie Brown, I headed to my departing gate when an incredible smell lifted my eyes. There, across from my very gate was a little gourmet burger shop! With an empty stomach and a heart set on SS, Zinburger had a huge disadvantage. To my surprise, they pulled off an absolute win. The picture doesn't do it justice, but this hearty hand-made masterpiece was incredible to the last bite. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the balance of flavors was dead on. The bun was so fresh I expected it to fall apart in my hands, and yet it held up through the whole experience. The thought of the gooey stringy cheese and the spicy sauce has my mouth watering thinking about it hours later. Heads up, put some napkins in your lap as these things tend to drip, and if you're over 30, there isn't going to be enough salt on the fries. Very minor issues completely worth the sacrifice. Don't miss Zinburger!

    Not as many options as the real restaurant
    Jason L.

    I am a huge fan of Zinburgers all around and have finally gotten to give one a shot in the airport restaurant. I am sorry to say that I was greatly disappointed in a number of ways. One, the menu is exactly as shown. So they don't have the variety that would normally be available as those in the actual restaurants. I usually like to give the burger of the week a shot that's off the menu and depending on its success may become a part of the full menu permanently. Two, the next disappointment was their shakes. I normally rate their shakes as one of the best I've had ever. However, I am very picky and particular for my shakes. A shake aficionado if you will. So they just have the basic shakes and I was tempted to try so I asked them if they can make it extra thick, enough to eat and they replied no. It comes out of the machine how it comes out. And they showed me the soup like substance that was very liquidy so, I gave it a hard pass. I did however, order the Samburger, which is basic and a good baseline to rate them. I always order medium rare and it came out well done. It overall was disappointing as was the burger. For $12, the product did not reflect the price. I am a quality versus quantity guy. However, when you get well done instead of medium rare that's a major strike. Let alone the quality of the meat. You know they are standard patties that are cooked up and just using the Zinburger franchise name to sell. So, if you've heard about Zinburger and never tried them before. Do yourself the due diligence and hold off until you get a chance to go to an actual restaurant. Otherwise you will be disappointed and it will put a bad taste in your mouth. Pun intended .

I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

My family and I ordered family style so we can try everything. For starters, we ordered the milk bread, fire roasted bone marrow, spicy peanut and tomato salad, and the tuna pineapple ceviche. I might say this multiple times in my review, but the food was very delicious and the description of the food was very interesting however it all blended so good in my mouth. The milk bread was topped with a miso tomato butter with almond and kalamata. Sounds interesting right? But when you actually tasted it, it was delicious! Who knew to bring such ingredients together to make this?! The softness of the bread and the saltiness from the butter complimented it so well! The fire roasted bone marrow was served with sourdough toast with a jalapeno marmalade with demi sauce. I never had bone marrow, however I met people who either liked it or choose not to try it, but this time I decided to try it. Who knew how soft and buttery bone marrow was?! The spicy peanut and tomato salad was very refreshing, however I wished it was a little bigger in size. The dressing was a peanut dressing, similar to a thai peanut dressing salad. The tuna pineapple ceviche had pineapple with tuna served with plantain chips. It was hot in Arizona and this dish kept it very refreshing to eat. For entrees, my family and I ordered the lemongrass half chicken, campfire seabass, ancho chili glazed pork chop, and the bone in ribeye. The lemon grass chicken was served with carrots and garlic mashed potatoes with jalapeno jam. The chicken was so juicy and you can taste the lemon grass marinated in the chicken. Again, jalapeno jam? What a genius! The campfire seabass was in this chorizo broth along with couscous and vegetables. I honestly can not review much regarding the campfire seabass because I didn't taste, but per my grandma she said it was really good haha! The ancho chili glazed pork chop was surprisingly not dry! I don't really eat pork chops, but our server recommended it and she did not disappoint! The bone in ribeye was delicious!! Super juicy and flavorful! It was served with baby potatoes, arugula, and chimichurri. Filthy animal is definitely a fun spot, the decor inside made the whole ambiance very intimate.

Our visit started out poorly because we spent 30 minutes driving around looking for a place to park. The front desk sent us to a valet that didn't exist and we almost left.

My husband got a cocktail. I wanted to order a mocktail but they didn't have a mocktail menu or any non alcoholic drinks anywhere. The waiter tried to describe them but that didn't work. Please get a menu. Ended up with lemonade bc I didn't know what to order. We ordered the tuna ceviche appetizer with plantain chips. I don't normally order things with chips but It was delicious! Great spicy kick and definitely the best thing I ate. Loved it. For dinner I ordered the lamb. I also really enjoyed this so much. The lamb was delicious (a bit unseasoned though). Also the garbanzo dish that came with it was unbelievably great! I was actually amazed that a side could be so good and I just wanted more of it. My husband ordered the seabass. Unfortunately it was underseasoned and way overcooked. The side wasn't great either. He ended up eating one of my lamb pieces. The vibe of the restaurant was great and the waiter was helpful and friendly. Will return if I ever want to brave the parking situation again ! Side note for the business: the door on your last bathroom stall was installed backwards. I struggled inside bc there was no hook for my purse or sweater when I went in there. After I was done precariously balancing all my things on my lap, I found the hook outside the door (I checked and the other doors were installed correctly). Probably should fix that bc it was very annoying for women that need access to their purse in the bathroom.

The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    There is a large, free, lot to park in, however it gets very full, so you may have to drive around…read morea bit for parking. The ambiance here is EVERYTHING!!! Even waiting outside for our reservation we were having a great time feeling like we were at a 1930's train stop. I heard about this place from my brother, and went a couple of years ago, and could not wait to take my boyfriend here. The service is absolutely PHENOMENAL! They walk you through the menu, the experience, as well as guide you if you're not sure what you want to drink. We ordered several drinks and they were all so creative and fun! My favorite was the tea with the lit lavender "cigarette." It added to the ambiance and overall experience. We also ordered the trip of snacks tray and several other drinks. Although this place is pretty pricey, there is nowhere is like it and it's WELL worth the cost! Get reservations early and don't skip this amazing, creative, and inventive bar!

    What a great concept for a cocktail experience--a 1920s Pullman train transformed into a swanky…read morebar. When we visited, the theme was 1960s Harlem, with jazz music from the era playing in the background and images of Harlem passing by the train windows, creating the illusion that you were traveling through the neighborhood. The cocktails were excellent, especially the dirty martini, which came with their house-marinated olives that were absolutely delicious. It's no surprise this place has been voted one of the 50 Best Bars in the World for two years in a row. If you're in the area, this is definitely a must-try.

    Say hello to your new favorite downtown restaurant! Wow, where to begin?…read more Service was amazing - they even printed out a small card with our reservation name on it which was presented on our table. Such a cute touch and very thoughtful. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The spot is small and chic. It's very intimate dining so you'll be sitting close to the table next to you. Luckily, it's a quiet and calm space, so no need to worry about noise. The food was incredible. The salmon crudo was possibly the best crudo I have ever had in my entire life. So fresh and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The risotto changed my life... it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it. The only thing I would recommend skipping was the octopus tostada - not my favorite and a little fishy for my liking. Personal preference of course! The duck tasted great and was beautifully presented, but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I'm not a huge meat eater so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. Overall an extremely romantic and special meal.

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.
