    Zingster's lunch
    Satabdi B.

    The first time I visited this place, it was closed though it was well within their official business hours advertised online. The next time I decided to give this place a try, I ordered a chicken zinger sandwich and a side of regular fries for takeout lunch. The place was clean but pretty deserted on a weekday around 2pm. This made parking a breeze, but I must say that's not always the case because this place shares the same plaza and limited parking space with a widely popular Indian restaurant, a beloved Yemeni coffee shop, and many other businesses. I found the service to be lacking - no smile, warmth or greeting for their only customer at the time other than a curt "are you ready to order?" and again, no communication or small talk as I waited for my order to get prepared. The food was definitely much better than the service. I live close-by and still the food was a little soggy by the time I got home. I wish they used the tactic I see a lot of Asian restaurants use to keep fried food crunchy by introducing a small outlet for steam. The chicken was definitely fresh, tasty, and expertly breaded and fried. I went with "hot" for my spice level and there was definitely a kick, but nothing too spicy (I do have a good tolerance for spice). However, having lived in Nashville for close to a decade, I have to say the spice rub used here isn't the real deal though they advertise their products as Nashville style. Also, I was surprised that they hadn't included any ketchup or hot sauce with my side of fries - do remember to ask for them if you're planning to eat on the go and can't imagine fries without ketchup like me. A little better service could easily turn this place into a better dining experience.

    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.

    Best service ever! Arash amiri is the greatest cashier i have ever encountered in my life. He went above and beyond with his service, and he even sat down and started eating lunch with me. I will forever remember this experience and will tell my future generations that arash amiri is the cashier to look for. What a model service worker.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I am always happy to see Zingster's in Palo Alto with great service and fries and sauce. always happy to see Shah @ Palo Alto friendly neighborhood location. thank you for the great food

    The food is great, if eaten warm the smash burger with sauce is delicious. But, what keeps me coming back above all is the amazing staff. Truly life changing service. Goated cashier

    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.
