I went with a large on a Sunday night (plus that you can make a reservation via OpenTable). Considering that this place was recommended to us, our overall experience was disappointing. We ordered truffle fries, zucchini fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings to share. The truffle fries were the better of the bunch. I was really looking forward to the zucchini fries, but they were way to skinny and didn't have enough structure. The restaurant was packed, so our service was lacking. The food took a long time, and several of the burgers we ordered were underdone. The patties were ordered medium but were completely raw on the inside; we had a send some back. I got the Zinburger and thought it was fine; I could have used more zin in the zinfandel braised onions (and my burger was also undercooked). They do have a cute patio outback and lot parking. Not likely to go back there on our next visit to Tucson. read more

After experiencing awful service at a next door restaurant, my hubby and I came here for dinner on 10/10. Not wanting a repeat of tge previous service, we explained that before we got seated, we wanted to be with someone who actually wants to provide us with service. Not only were they understanding, but they sat us with an outstanding waitress, Oliva... and they apologized for the other restaurants lack of professionalism and customer service! That was exceptional service. We had a wonderful California Bowl and amazing zucchini and sweet potatoe fries!!! Highly recommended!!!! read more

Asked for a sample of the beer. It was served promptly in a broken glass. Ordered two burgers, one medium, the other medium well. They came out rare and medium rare. The Zinburger had shredded lettuce and the other burger had leaf. They served the white woody part of the lettuce which is normally thrown out as waste, on both burgers. I scraped off the white lettuce as it was soaked up with the grease. The white heal of the leaf lettuce was not edible. The burgers were over $12 each, fries exta. One would expect premium ingredients on an expensive burger not the discards from the lettuce head. Very disappointed, first and last visit. read more

Zinburger is a place I have come to love over the past several years. They offer truly excellent service, a gorgeous patio, and great happy hour deals. Their food is high quality, fresh, and delicious. Zucchini fries are a must eat and my fave burger is the classic Zin Burger. They have revolving burger specials and they are also very good. This is one of my all time fave burger and shake joints and I'm glad I don't live closer to their locations or I think I'd be in trouble! read more

Since you dropped your ahi sandwich off the menu you're nothing to me. The fries were alright.

This is an update on a previous review. I was contacted by the assistant general manager and he made it right. He went above and beyond so I'm updating my review to add 3 stars for the excellent customer service, specifically the assistant manager John. What a lovely person. read more

I'm always in the mood to go to Zinburger! I've always had good service, and the burgers and sides are really tasty. I visited this location most recently with my friend. She arrived around 6:30 on a Wednesday night, and the place was really busy. We had to wait about 20 minutes or so. I don't know if there was something going on in the area or if it was people in town for the gem show, but I don't think it's usually that busy on a weeknight. Once we were seated, our server, Manny, immediately took our drink order and told us the special burger, which my friend ended up ordering. I got My Boy Bleu, and we shared an order of truffle fries. I got a passion fruit tea, but they do have some good beer offerings. My favorite wine to get there is the Tilia Malbec/Syrah blend. The cocktails look good, but I usually get wine here. I've also had the Zinburger, the Bruce Lee, and the Ringer, and all are very good. The burgers are always juicy and flavorful. My one complaint is the bun quickly gets soggy from the sauces and juice from the burger. They could stand to get a better bun or toast them more to prevent that, but it's still a solid burger. I also really like the green chili fries and the zucchini fries. Sides are definitely large enough to share. Both Zinburger locations have patio seating, which is dog-friendly. I've brought my pup a couple of times, and the server will always bring water for him. read more

Gluten free review! They have your typical gluten free bun, it's pretty good. The burgers are really delcious! And every time I go the waiters have been really good at answering my annoying food allergy questions haha read more

This place is simply perfect. There is no arguing that they make an excellent burger and the sweet potato fries are glorious. I do recommend getting the zinburger burger for your first visit. Also, ask for truffle sweet potato fries, it's not on the menu but you can order it upon request. It's delicious. Go here and eat here it's that simple. read more

Definitely the best burgers and milkshakes in town! My husband and I went there for a light lunch and we ordered the zucchini fries and some regular fries. They were delicious and flavorful! We also ordered a burger and a milkshake to share and the staff was extremely accommodating. They brought out our burger in two different plates cut in half and our milkshake was in two different glasses. We were not expecting this but it was amazing and made everything so much easier to enjoy. The burger was delicious and juicy and the milkshake was also amazing! We can't wait to come back! read more

Let me start off this review by saying it was my second choice for lunch after church on Sunday. I wanted to try Divine Bovine Burgers instead but they weren't open. I should have just went home and had some soup. I understand that the place was busy but I counted at least 15 plates of food that past us and went to the patio which seated people after we were seated. We waited for a very long time for our food and it definitely wasn't worth the wait. Our server didn't deliver our food another server delivered it and then he never came back to check if everything was OK. I can't even complain about his service with his name because it wasn't on the ticket. As you can see from the receipt the only identifying feature said "AM BAR". This food was not worth $40. A vanilla milk shake (not filled to the top of the glass), a diablo burger (OK and cooked well done not medium as requested), a Caesar salad (OK and full of huge croutons), sweet potato fries (partly cold but dipping sauce was good) and zucchini fries (done well). There should at least be lunch pricing so that the wait would be bearable knowing that you were getting a good price. We won't be back again... read more

Zinburger - Burgers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been here now many more times and can say that I've actually had the regular Burger as well as the turkey burger. You can upgrade the burger to grass-fed and you can get it on a gluten-free bun or in a nice bed of lettuce. I have also eaten in now with several friends and by myself, both sitting at the bar and with full table service. I have also now gone to both locations. I have had nothing but good to Great experiences here. Everything is made to order and every time it is come out as ordered! It is one of the few places I can get cheese on my burger because they offer sheep's milk Manchego cheese (as well as a Chevre style goat cheese), as I am allergic to cow's milk. I also appreciate their expanded beer selection. Now if they would just get some Moscato on their wine list! Glad I have continued to come here... thinking I might go there today! read more

I was very surprised by how good this place was. The truffle fries are to die for! The service was wonderful. I got the Farm Salad with no meat added. When it came out it had some random chunks of chicken in it. The chicken was obviously not intentionally put in the salad... some pieces just got in there. I am a vegetarian, so that is not something I want on my plate. The waitress took care of it right away. A fresh salad come out super fast and the manager brought it to me. He apologized and was so professional. That made the experience for me extremely good. Similar situations have happened to me at other restaurants. I usually leave angry because of how it was handled by the staff. Hands down Zinburger responded the best out of anywhere I have been. I will be returning and recommending this place to everyone. read more

In the mood for a solid burger, my girlfriend and I finally decided to check this place out after driving by their Tucson locations for the last two years. And let me tell you that we were pleasantly surprised. First off, there are soooo many options for burgers. In addition to what's on the menu, our server told us about a daily special and she really knew her stuff. She recommended the zucchini fries, and they turned out to be delicious, especially when combined with the ranch sauce. Thanks for the recommendation and the solid service, Nicole! For the burgers, my girlfriend had the breakfast burger and I had the West Coast chicken burger. Any burger can be made with either chicken or their veggie patties, which are chickpea based. These were some of the most memorable burgers we've had in recent memory, and we'd be happy to try this place again. read more

I love the burger and menu options! They're plentiful as well as delicious! If, we can sit outdoors it's perfect. Indoor is far to loud for my enjoyment. We also appreciate the gluten free option. Great staff always courteous and efficient. read more

Clint's almost famous raw mashed mush. This is definitely NOT a vegan-friendly restaurant. But to tout this "mush patty" as "almost famous" is false advertising or an unjust misnomer to say the least. Top it all with a bun made with milk only intended for feeding a baby calf, which you have to sub with simple iceberg, AKA hog lettuce, and then more processed junk that you have to remove, and there you have a mushy meal atop of lettuce intended for hog consumption. Oh, but I'll take some ketchup and mustard to disguise the flavor of boca and cumin. I should've left it at sweet potato over-fried fries. Oh, and I guess no refills on drinks! And when you ask me, "how does everything taste?" At least wait for a response before walking away. Because I'd have been honest. It was awful. Horrible. Nasty. Mush. I'm glad I don't look for burgers. I'm glad I don't care for them. But this isn't even edible. read more

This place doesn't have a bad burger but the buns are always extremely soggy. Honestly they changed their menu around and the food has never been as good since. Also I don't recommend ordering from this place to go the patty was burnt and extra topping I got charged for weren't on the sandwich. read more

Restaurant customers insisting on having a dog right beside them immediately next to others trying to have a nice lunch need to be asked by the restaurant to leave the pooch in the car. This will be our LAST trip to Zinburger's which heretofore had been on our favorites list. Dogs do not belong in places where people are eating. We observed a dog being snuck in between patio blinds (on a cold and windy day!) from the outside to join its female owner at a table by herself. Obviously, all planned. I happen to like dogs but am not so insecure that I must have one with me while I'm eating out. read more

People kept telling me that Zinburger was amazing and since I see it in the Phoenix airport, I mistakenly thought it was something like a chain restaurant and would have par or sub-par food at best. Last night, I finally caved and had my first Zinburger experience and absolutely loved it! On a Tuesday night, the place was packed (and my mom used to tell me that when a place is packed, it's good). We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table since we didn't want to sit near the entrance (it was cold that night and there was a major draft). Also, heads up: burgers do not come with a side of fries. You need to order them yourself as a side. So, I ordered the zucchini fries, which were pretty good. They were crunchy and not mushy like they can be sometimes. My only complaint was that they were slightly too salty and they didn't come with enough Ranch sauce! In retrospect, I should have told them that they only filled up half of my sauce cup whereas the other people in my party were given full cups of ranch. I ordered the El Diablo burger medium and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually spicy! The spiciness wasn't noticeable at first, but by the end of the meal, my mouth was burning and I was going through water like no tomorrow. Many people probably complain about this, but I'm always happy when a spicy dish catches me like this because I'm obsessed with spice. My only complaint was that it seemed that half my burger was done medium-well and half my burger was done medium. I'm just thankful they didn't completely butcher (haha, no pun intended) the burger by overcooking it. I thought it was still a tasty meal and would come back to try a different burger. We ordered the banana cream pie for dessert which is HUGE. We needed 3 people to finish the pie! It was surprisingly good and I liked how they used vanilla bean in the banana cream filling, but it was a bit too sweet and had too much whipped cream for my taste. read more

The burgers are just middle-of-the-road. Properly seasoned, properly assembled but there is nothing to remember or motivate me to return..

5 stars customer service. 10/10 recommended for a burger spot in tucson az. Delicious burgers as well.

Fabulous burgers! We enjoyed lunch - quiet enough for a meeting as well. Casual atmosphere, and great food. The fries wee so tasty, I kept snacking on them! I'm usually not a fry-gal, but loved the seasoning. read more

Some restaurants haven't quite gotten how to work with covid...this is not one of those restaurants. You park, one of the employees immediately meets you at your car while wearing a mask, and then brings you your order. Total time I was there was 3 minutes as I had already prepaid. Also, if you haven't gotten the Monday meal deal...you need to. That's all I'm saying. read more

I live within walking distance of Zinburger - dined there over 20 times. I typically sit at the bar for dinner and a glass of wine. I was always surprised at how often I would hear customers call in, due to mistakes made w/ their orders. Also, I noticed that pick-up orders were typically incorrectly inputted by the staff. I have placed 2 pick-up orders and both have been screwed-up by the staff. The final straw for me was seeing that they hand write your credit card info on the back of your order, which they also hand write (I'm assuming then input into a computer...nice operational efficiency and potentially compromising your customers' cc info). Done w/ Zinburger. read more

We went for a late dinner at Zinburger on River road last Friday. It has an amazing atmosphere and the staff is very kind. They really know their stuff and are especially helpful with allergies. The manager stopped by & made sure that everything was great. It was- burgers were delicious and the truffle fries are to die for!!! Highly recommend. I can't wait to find an excuse to go back! read more

The food was good. However, it got me sick. Not fun spending money for food and then spending the evening in the bathroom.

This was the second time we ate here in the last three weeks. On our first visit, my grilled chicken sandwich was so over cooked as to be inedible. It looked tasted horrible. This time, I ordered their version of Kobe beef, the patty was ordered medium, but came so overcooked that I could only picked at it and left most of this $15.50 burger. The cheddar cheese looked and tasted like American cheese. What a horrible experience at a restaurant which always pleased in the past.! It's time to light my grill! read more

Used to be great. But now they eliminated Koby eef burger. And they don't carry sparkling wines, prosecco or hard ciders. It's 2019 not 1999. So we stopped going used to be my favorite burger but now 5 guys is almost as good read more

Zayn burger is honestly the best place in Tucson for a burger a lot of meat and portions perfect for the kids in the family thank you guys

It was the best burger place when I moved here, but last time when I ordered they used cheap crinkle cut fries and no grass fed meat! Now I go to truland until they change back! read more

I eat here regularly, the burgers are delicious and super filling, and happy hour is legit. Drinks are amazing and waiting staff is fast.

I'm usually not a huge Burger fan but I am always down for Zinburger. I haven't had a burger I don't like from them, and their sides (truffle fries and sweet potato fries) and shakes are awesome as well! They have a really creative variety of burgers on the menu or you can opt to build your own. My go-to options are the samburger, classic diner burger, and El Diablo. No matter which option you choose, you're guaranteed a flavorful meal. Service is always friendly and attentive. They're also great for any occasion - casual dinner, friend get-together, birthday party, you name it. read more

I went here for lunch on a Monday. It was expectedly not full. Service and food were great. I ordered the 'Zinburger' and regular fries, both of which were very good and cooked medium rare just like I ordered. read more

Went one night with my family to celebrate, amazing experience and really great food, we had a wonderful evening and the staff was extremely polite! read more

Amazing food. Very upscale and a little on the expensive side, but their food is always hot and fresh and they have creative sides like zucchini fries- which are delicious for the record. Will be back! read more

I am an out of Town from the north eastern part of the states. A friend brought me to Zinburger because of our mutual love for great hamburgers. We arrived at Zinburger and it was packed! The hostess was really nice and had us seated in 15 minutes. There are too many items to touch on, All are amazing! I had a Diablo Burger & Onion rings. The burger was perfect, it was not greasy, it was not so tall I couldn't open my mouth wide enough, the bun was not soaked with condiments and burger fat. Perfect size and cooked perfect. The onion rings were crispy but not over cooked. Crunchy and not greasy, again perfect. The lemonade was perhaps the best I had all week, it wasn't from powder! I loved it. The Banana Cream Pie was again, just the right size, and tasted excellent! Our waitress was very polite and kind. The Resturant is very very clean and there is an opened kitchen and you can watch them cook. There was plenty of parking. It was a bit noisy, the sound bounced all over the hard walls, floors and ceiling, I recommend a seat outside. I would go back to Zinburger again and again. Please open one in Boston!!!! Next time I will check out the milk shakes, burgers and milk shakes, like peanut butter and jelly, they were meant for each other!!!! Zinburger---- Love it!!! read more

The atmosphere is the biggest pulling factor. The restaurant feels open and airy and has high and low level tables. Along the window are low tables with half-booths, the center area has low tables with modern white plastic chairs, along another wall are high tables with half-booths, and next to the bar are high tables. It's a nice mixture and gives texture to the interior. The walls are painted with a cow motif, a blue sky and green grass. On one pillar is a picture of a cow. Each member of the waitstaff is dressed as a dairy worker, with white shorts for the girls and white pants for the guys, plus a dark brown shirt that I'm assuming says something equivalent to "Zinburger" but I didn't stare at anyone long enough to notice. The hostess wears a white shirt and a dark brown mini skirt. Paired with white shoes, their outfits really drive in the idea that you're about to milk a cow. Of course, you are not about to do this. The menu is scant and consists of $8-10 burgers, $3-6 sides, $6 milkshakes/floats, and alcohol on the opposite side. They offer pre-designed burgers or you can start with the "plain and simple" burger and add your own toppings, $1 each. "Medium rare" is actually medium rare here, and the waiter will double check with you to make sure you're ordering the real medium rare and not the standard Tucson version of medium rare. I ordered the Samburger, which has bacon, cheese, and thousand island dressing. This was very flavorful, kind of sweet, too much to take in for me. I also sampled the burger of the week, a Greek burger with tzatziki sauce and feta cheese. This was not to my liking, too much bite, but the boy that ordered it really liked it. The sides we ordered were the sweet potato chips and the zucchini fries. The sweet potato chips were good, however the zucchini chips served at North are much better (both restaurants owned by Fox). The zucchini fries tasted like calamari, using the same batter and parmesan cheese. The service is near perfect. I barely touched my zucchini fries, and without asking, the manager came over to apologize and remove it from our bill. That is the first time that has ever happened in Tucson, and I was impressed. Happy hour is every day from 4-6pm. During these hours you can enjoy half priced sides, 2 dollars off the plain and simple burger, and half off beer and wine. The bill came to $24. Two burgers and one side. I will not be coming back here. Average food dressed up in a hip atmosphere does not impress me. read more

Holy mother of God these burgers are good. Definitely try the Bruce Lee burger, although they're all good. read more

Updating on Zin Burger because I finally ventured from the Plain & Simple (add cheese) and gave the Samburger a try. And yes there is quite a difference between the two. The crispy Applewood smoked bacon and and American cheese with creamy thousand Island dressing are worth every single calorie. Sure, we're two days into the New Year and I devoured a meal that most people have vowed to avoid. Not this lady! I ordered it with the bun too. No Atkins at our table. Plus, Certified Angus Certified Angus Beef can't be found at any drive-dru. The calories and $10 were well worth it. Did I mention the zucchini fries with parmesan cheese and ranch dressing were perfection? I've had my fair share of run-ins with a soggy zucchini fry, but these were just right; Flavorful batter on the outside, crispy on the inside. We had truffle fries too. Wilko's are still my favorite, but these aren't too far behind. Cap that meal with a Banana's Foster milkshake and you've got the saltiest, calorie-packed, juicy, delicious start to the year. Happy New Year! (I'll be doing double-duty at the gym tomorrow.) And of course, service was on point per Sam Fox standards. read more

Zinburger - Sweet potato fries - Burgers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I am actually really surprised that I am writing a bad review about a FoxRC facility but I went in today expecting at least a decent experience and left feeling unwanted and that my food was made from the bottom of the barrel. I ordered a half salad for my lunch break. I walked in and I think the manager was the one who greeted me who was actually very friendly and helpful with the menu. She then told me to go the bar to order. The bartender barely looked up when she asked if I needed anything and seemed annoyed that I was there and took my order (a half chopped wedge salad which I didn't see any egg in and had all white lettuce..) she the then tossed me my receipt and slammed a pen down for me to sign. She asked if I needed utensils and I said yes. .. A guy came out to bring me my salad and asked if I needed utensils. I said yes and when he came back he said, "here you go." As I reached for the package in his hand he dropped it on the counter in front of me before I could reach. By all means, if my business wasn't wanted I could have went somewhere else. Just let me know. . :) read more
