    The decor is super nice of this place and the ambiance is nice as it's decorated really nicely. It is also right next to qamaria so you can walk there. The service was fast as we got our food quickly. The food wasn't that good as my friends and I felt kinda sick afterwards. The hot isn't very spicy.

    Good

    Ugh $22 for some mid ass chicken sandwich with a lemonade. I saw the place on social media so decided to give them a chance. The food took 20+ mins to be ready. The chicken was too sweet and too much sauce on it. Gurl just pack ur bags and go to chicken g it's way better and cheaper.

    Great local smashburger & chicken sandwich shop! The chicken sandwich was so crispy and juicy, just thinking about it makes me want it again. The smashburger was also good, and with the side of coleslaw and sauce, they were perfect. Just one complaint I had was that I accidentally tried going when it was busy and the line was too long so I left. But this could be easily avoided if you order online, which is what I ended up doing :) If you end up doing pick up, I highly recommend getting the coleslaw and sauce on the side so you prevent your burgers from being soggy!

    Zingster's is one of those burgers spots where it's so flavorful and delicious that makes you keep coming back! Love their smash burgers, chicken and fries! Flavorful and perfect amount of spice. Haven't tried their waffle fries because it's never available when I try to order it. But I would highly recommend the smash burger -- so good! Will return again, soon!

    Zingster's opened recently where Rock n Salsa n Beer once was. New minimalist decor, 10ish tables, same large parking area. Came to experience the Fremont Restaurant Week deal. Quick, efficient service at counters Ordered pd, food came out in 5ish minutes. Offerings: Nashville chicken burgers, smash burgers, rice platters, fries, wraps, milkshakes. Slurps: Bischoff Milkshake (7.29) -disappointed Dubai Chocolate milkshake not available. -Bishoff was way too sweet. Smash cookie not an issue. Bites: smash burger & Chicken burgers (14.99) medium hot sauce. -thin smash burger was the usual with crispy edges. Innards slightly moist, dryish re: tiny patty. -chicken burger was legit. Moist, tender chicken patty. Sauce didn't resonate hotness till later discharges prove discomforting . -breads weren't disappointing. 4ish stars. Worthy: YMMV quality: fresh ingredients used. Quantiy: reasonable.

    If you're looking for a Halal place, this is a good option. They have chicken and beef burgers, wraps, bowls, and sides. The chicken burgers come with 5 levels of hotness or no spice at all. I got the mild (level 1) and it was very tame with a bit of heat. My hubby got the hot (level 3), and it was pretty intense, but tolerable (for him). Smash burger - this was ok, but their slaw was too wet and the bun got flat and soggy. The beef tasted quite good, but the bun was tasteless. Zingster chicken burger (zing-1) - this was really big. The chicken was very crispy outside and the meat was juicy. The slaw was very good with the burger, and the sesame seed bun was big enough to contain everything. Although the chicken was crispy, I thought there was just too much batter. That's what made the chicken look so big, but a large part of it is the batter. Fries - very good. Crispy and well seasoned. We got 2 sauces (red and white). The white sauce tastes really good with the fries. Overall, a good burger spot that's a step up from your typical fast food places.

    Great Halal burger place in Fremont. They've been open since 2025 and are relatively new. Worth checking out since their menu interestingly has burgers, fried chicken, and rice platters. Location is in a small strip mall with McDonald's really close to the 880 Cushing exit. Plenty of parking though the spaces are slightly smaller than normal. The interior design is cool and feels like "classy" fast food. More upscale than other halal burger places and had a nice layout. Ordering was quick and easy and staff were welcoming and polite. Single smashburger: well grill smash burger with plenty of crunchy meaty bits. I liked the really soft bun this came on, reminded me of McDonald's buns in a good way. I normally dot like coleslaw that is too saucy but it was very good in this burger. Would repeat, delicious. Chicken fingers: got these "hot" and they were rightfully spicy. The meat was very tender and the crunchy fried parts were good, I'm not sure how to remedy this but I wish the fried parts stuck to the meat a bit better. The dipping sauce this came with was excellent.

    Checked out this casual restaurant since it was nearby while studying, and honestly I'm glad I did! Service was quick and there was a crowd, but enough space to accommodate everyone there. Their main thing is fried chicken - tenders, sandwhiches and rice platters - and everything is halal. I ordered the chicken tender meal with a hot spicy level and it was delicious. The chicken and fries were hot and fresh when I picked up my order and they came with 2 different sauces. I wasn't sure exactly what the dipping sauces were, but one tasted garlicy/almost cheesy? The other was a mild flavor, but I'm not sure what it tasted like to be honest. Spice level was a slow burn, but went well with their seasoning. For the price I paid, the meal was worth it, especially since I had leftovers. I think the only thing is, I wish they had more sauce options. Other than that, great place for a cheat meal LOL.

    Another Nashville Chicken restaurant is in Fremont! Not only that they served chicken burgers and sliders, but also smashed burgers too. The restaurant was quiet when I got in and there were only a few customers. They also have a prayer room where people can pray there. Also, the place looks really nice and it seems that the staff are taking good care of it especially when I saw one of them clean the tables. The menu representation looks nice and clear. They have a combo burger which comes with a chicken slider and a single-patty smashed burger. I decided to get that to try both at the same time. It's $18.99, which isn't really bad and the same price as Zing 2, which is the same except that it's two chicken sliders. The fries are well seasoned and very tasty. The two sauces that come with a meal are very delicious that they blend well with the fries and the chicken slider. The chicken slider tastes good and I'm surprised that they added coleslaw to the smashed burger. That's basically a way to make up a smashed patty since it's recommended that you get a double patty to have a good bun-to-meat ratio. I also like how they packaged everything inside a box probably for convenience. I'm looking forward to Zing 1, which is I believe a chicken burger rather than a slider given its unique appearance and probably bigger size.

    Seemed like people come here even though it was pretty late at night. When I brought the food home, the chicken was still very crispy and the fries too. The rub that they use pairs well with the fries and is pretty spicy. They also provide 2 sauces, one garlic and one that I don't know what it is but it's used everywhere. The chicken is juicy and not tough. The chicken is also halal which is cool.

    Our door dash order from Chili's got canceled so we went to All Star Burger for chicken sandwiches…read more We have had the burgers and breakfast here before but never tried the chicken sandwiches. We ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwiches with everything and added American Cheese. They were by far the best chicken sandwiches we have ever had. The chicken was fresh and hand breaded then deep fried to perfection with out being dry or greasy. The lettuce, tomato, and onion were fresh and sliced thick. When they were wrapping the sandwiches to bag it looked like a perfect picture of a chicken sandwich that other restaurants have to fake. The milkshake's are also made fresh with some of the best ice cream. The service was great and food was cooked with love by the family.

    This spot has been around for a long time per the locals serving burgers, sandwiches, and breakfast…read moreitems. You know it's the spot for the locals upon walking in during lunch time - packed with older generations folks. The workers seems busy prepping food and service was okay. I got the cheeseburger, philly cheese steak with fries, and the all star burger, along with a side of onion rings. Total came out above $40. The food was solid and delicious. I did enjoy the onion rings, super crispy! The philly cheese steak left much to be desired, not a lot of meat. The burgers were solid - lots of food for one sitting. I wonder if they use homemade or frozen patties. I appreciate how they had all star sauce (kind of tastes like thousand island) and how they had a nice condiments section to pack your own Togo sauces. They even had jalapenos! Overall a solid spot for a classic grilled burger.

    Juicy, freshly fried wings -- but four pieces would be the sweet spot…read more I spent way too long deciding between the chicken sandwich and the wings, and eventually ordered the six-piece crispy wings with an extra tangy garlic sauce. The wings were larger than I expected. They had a craggy, heavily textured coating that was very crispy when fresh. The breading was on the thicker side, but the chicken underneath was genuinely juicy. When I pulled one apart, the juices actually ran onto the toast underneath. They were also extremely hot right out of the fryer, so give them a couple of minutes before biting in. The wings themselves were not spicy. They had a fairly straightforward savory seasoning and were flavorful enough to eat without sauce, which is important because this was not a case of sauce rescuing dry or bland chicken. The yellow tangy garlic sauce, however, was much hotter than I expected. At first I thought the heat was coming from the wings, but it was definitely the sauce. It had a strong combination of acidity, garlic, and spice, and a little went a long way. The white sauce was milder and easier to use throughout the meal. The wings came with one slice of toast cut in half. It seemed like an odd pairing at first, but it made sense once the chicken juices started dripping onto it. The toast absorbed the juices and also helped balance the richness and heat. The six-piece order was $13.99. That is not especially cheap, but the wings were large, freshly fried, and very juicy, so the portion felt fair. My only issue is that fried chicken this rich becomes repetitive after a while. The first two pieces were excellent, the third and fourth were satisfying, and by the fifth I was starting to feel the grease and heavy coating. Overall, Chicken G's does the fundamentals well: crispy exterior, juicy chicken, and wings that taste good even without sauce. I would come back, but four wings would probably be the ideal portion for me next time.

    I love Chicken G's. This is one of my favorite fried chicken places to go. They make it fresh!…read more I've had to wait about 20 min sometimes because it it is busy. During the rush hour it is just more of a wait sometimes. I belive they are a little understaffed sometimes. Only 2 people working that I have seen. Their friend chicken is just soooo good. Just order ahead of time before you come because if you order at the restaurant you will have to wait because they cook it fresh. I love their fried chicken and will for sure be coming back for more! So happy I found this place. It is really hard to not love a good fried chicken!

    Compared with the generous portions I remember from past visits, the burger and chili cheese fries…read morewere much smaller this time, and the strawberries on the cheesecake were soggy instead of fresh. I've been coming to Nation's in Fremont since I was a kid, so this review comes from someone who has always enjoyed eating here. It's one of my favorite burger spots, which is why this visit was disappointing. The burger was noticeably smaller than I remember and had only a small amount of lettuce. The chili cheese fries also seemed like a much smaller portion than they used to be. For dessert, I ordered cheesecake, but the soggy strawberries on top took away from it. Even though this wasn't one of my better visits, I still appreciate the rewards program. Their points app is easy to use, and I was able to redeem a free birthday slice of pie, which was a nice perk. The vibe was nice and the service was nice also . I'm hoping this was just an off day, because Nation's has been a favorite of mine for many years. I know how good the food can be, and I look forward to seeing the portions and quality return to what I expect.
