My Recc is green chile hamburger or chicken focaccia , yummm Great staff and management ! Go see them!!! read more

Service was horrible and rushed. Grand daughter's order came out quick great then ordered the other two meals for the adults. One came out at least ten minutes before the other one we ordered and it was wrong. Ordered the Philly cheese steak roll and got chicken. As I sit and write this still waiting for the third meal. I have had great service and experience at the Hub grill just down the road. Just saying! And no utensils offered WTH read more

We went on a Friday and has great service, great food, and great drinks. Got the zipparitas in Watermelon, Chambord, Mango, and the Firecracker flavors. Also got the mozzarella sticks, some onion rings, the golden focaccia and the 1000 island burger. Everything came out hot and so delicious! read more

Our waitress was super nice but the food was horrendous. Pizza was pretty bad and greasy. I paid an extra $4 to put chicken on my salad and it was literally 5 dry pieces. The best thing I ate was the buffalo wing appetizer. The service was pretty slow and most of the time we saw the staff standing around near the kitchen chatting. Won't come here again. read more

Zipparita! So bomb. I got one to go as well. Strong and tasty. Service can be slow when it's busy but that's expected anywhere.

Bryce was our server and was fantastic. He was attentive and his service was spot on. Thank you very much to him and he made our experience great! -Mike read more

One of my favorite franchises for over 10 years now, I don't think I've ever left unhappy. My party of 5 was sat quickly on a Saturday night while a Cards game was going. Despite the football game, our server was excellent - she brought refills before we even thought to ask. Sports bars are always loud so I anticipated the hype and while I don't normally like sports bars, I will always visit Zipps for the pepper jack focaccia. The sweet jalapeño sauce is divine with the fries and drizzled on my entree. Speaking of fries, these are probably my most favorite type because there's a little crunch and the cruncher the better for me, they even air fried well the nest day. My partner got the peanut butter burger, which he let me try and it was so creamy and savory. The kiddo got the thousand island burger and he loved it, zipps has big burgers and he ate at least 3/4 of it! Anyway, all this to say I can't wait for my next visit because it's 11/10. read more

I see why this location has a low rating. In order to turn it around when someone asks you make their wings fried hard & crispy you expect to get what you want. The wings are great just needs to be crispier. They have great fries and the zip a Rona is always my favorite. They do have good zipp drinks! read more

Really disappointed because zipps used to be my favorite place. But I recently had an encounter with the manager John. He was super rude and unhelpful. I got a zipps dog and the bun was completely hard so I kindly asked for a new one and they brought it out but then the next hotdog bun was hard, so I asked him to just take it off the bill and he said no. I will NEVER be coming back to zipps again. read more

We were served by Brayden tonight at Zipps Sports Grill, and I just want to give him a big shout-out! You can tell he's new and still learning, but he had such a great attitude the entire time. He was polite, attentive, and genuinely trying his best to make sure we had a good experience. As a Bar director from San Diego, I would kill for a hospitality professional like himself in in one of my restaurants. Keep it up, Brayden -- you're doing great and it definitely shows! read more

The service and servers were top rate. My son had his post birthday celebration here. The food, drinks, and service were top rated. I was the designated driver so the bartender Lib made me a mocktail of mangoes and strawberry puree that was very tasty. I highly recommend. read more

Killer. Good, convenient, sports to watch. Everything a sports bar needs. Food is slept on.

Really bad experience. Waitress said the kitchen lost our order, ok, stuff happens. But then she avoided us and it still took another 20 minutes to get our food. Then she didn't come back to make sure all was good. Very rude. And the manager didn't even come talk to us about the wait or comp any of our food. Will not be back. read more

Here's what's funny when they took too long to bring me my food. I said I no longer want it. It must have been over 30 minutes because my husband was almost done eating his wings. They acted like they did me a favor by taking off the charge on an item I NEVER ATE!!! The waiter followed up with are you okay? Seriously? Why would you think that I would happily say, I was fine?! I don't think he was smart enough to read the social queues that justify asking a question like that when someone is clearly upset. The alleged manager said " Don't worry I took that charge off the item! " Duh!!!!! read more

Zack and Bryce are great, others seem to have their own agenda, only 21 people in whole establishment at 8:50pm. Management staff is always appreciated. read more

We come to this Zipps all the time after mountain point games. service and food is satisfactory for the most part. The experience this past time was horrible. Several of our orders were wrong, they didn't fix them and someone in the party never even got their food after multiple requests. That and the manager Leila handled the mistakes very poorly. She even called the police, claiming we were being hostile towards her even though our requests for service was peaceful and all we wanted was the right orders. Three police suvs came, they got the story from the server girl, then walked out never even saying a word to us! I have Grace and patience for new servers and managers but I'm not sure this new person should be managing their as I can see her mishandling customer engagements often. read more

Stopped in Zipps after a golf tournament and Yelp reviews weren't great but it was pretty busy inside so we took a seat in the bar at one of the booths and were greeted by a young lady named Kaitlyn within a few minutes. Kaitlyn was super friendly, quick to get us our drinks and tell us she would be back in a few minutes to get our order. I noticed she was the only server working and had several other customers that she was waiting on. However, she never rushed us and was very pleasant. We ordered the Zippsrita, and added Chambord. It was small, but delightful and delicious. We also got a side salad with blue cheese that was the perfect portion and an order of their golden wings that came out crisp and hot. Definitely recommend! In my opinion, Zipps has a good set up between the restaurant and the bar side in terms of seating and TVs a great place to go watch sports on the weekends. I also noticed they had several specials between Saturday and Sundays both for drinking and eating. Definitely worth a try and if you see Kaitlyn sit in her section, she was pretty great. read more

Great food and great service! Recommend to anyone and everyone in the area. Wonderful staff.

Totally bar vibe. Food was good but for some reason took awhile and wasn't even busy at all.

Hubby and I got in an argument over where we were going for dinner. I wanted good food, he wanted good drinks. I gave up and ended up at zipps. 1.15 hour later we had 3 margaritas and no food yet due to a kitchen "backup". Backup was the waitress kept walking past the food without bringing it out. We asked for the food to go and ate our cold sandwiches minus the black avocado at home. read more

the saddest focaccia i have ever seen in my life. there's hardly any chicken inside. our sweet jalapeño & fresh jalapeños for the burger were forgotten, but i caught it before we left. i do not feel like returning to the restaurant so taking the L. hadn't been here in months because we had such a bad experience the last time & thought we'd try to-go food, but fail. read more

I honestly didn't take any pictures of the food. On a Friday night probably about 8 o'clock my Besty and I got some tattoos, and we decided to come to Zipp's. I have only ever been to the Scottsdale location. They were somewhat busy. I will say our waitress seemed a little overwhelmed. We both got their zippy margaritas, and we ordered a few different appetizers that we share. We should have just stuck in with the wings. My best friend got the Philly cheesesteak, which came in kind a look like a pita bread or some type of flatbread. I got the nachos and we both realized Zipp does not do good with cheese. With nachos I feel like you want the cheese to be melted but like creamy and my nachos I mean pretty much stuck to the paper and it was just a fun activity of just trying to get it off the paper the Philly I feel was much better tasting but again the cheese was just not this melted cheese when you took a bite. Like I mentioned earlier, the wings were the only thing I had no complaints. The atmosphere was pretty laid-back. I mean we kind of came when it was busy, but by the time we left it had calm down. I will say our waitress was very nice. We paid separately, but my friend said she would tip, which felt weird for me Normally when I go to restaurants I'll also leave a tip. read more

Doesn't have a dog friendly patio. They're closing themselves off to a lot of weekend visitors.

In a word.... Yikes. The place wasn't too busy when my friends and I walked in, and we were seated right away. That's where the good news stops. We waited for over an hour for our food to arrive and when it did, all three of our orders were wrong. Mine had to be sent back to the kitchen and my two friends' food were incomplete. We waited another 30 minutes for the rest of their food while the kitchen remade mine. It was still wrong when it came back out and instead of sending it back again, I gave up and didn't eat my dinner. We were also promised free dessert for the double, but that took another 30 minutes so we ended up leaving without dessert. The manager did give us $15 in zipps cash, but it couldn't be used with our meal tonight and instead was dated for tomorrow All in all, definitely won't be back to this location. read more

We took our baseball team to for a team lunch. Adam was amazing! The food came out in record time and our boys said every order was made correctly! A group of 30 of us showed up unannounced and they didn't bat an eye! Food was great and service was even better! read more

Brutally slow service. Lost the orders of some of our group. We ended up leaving after 90 minutes with no food. Place was 2/3 empty.

We absolutely love this Zipps. They always seat us right away in the bar, the waitress is so on it and has the best customer service. We ordered the usual, a blue cheese burger and peanut butter burger and split it in half. Both burgers were super fresh to where the juices where dripping out. The condiments on both burgers were just right. The peanut butter burger is the way to go. We added Swiss cheese and jalapeño jelly to it as well. (Tried to recreate this burger we had in Seattle.) The peanut butter burger will be our go to burger now. The fries and onion rings did not disappoint. Very crispy, yet soft on the inside. We also got a side of blue cheese. Zipps has the best blue cheese we have ever tasted. All in all, we'd definitely go back. Good vibes and great staff! read more

Never in my life have I waited 30+ minutes after calling in an order for pickup and then when I pull up I see my food on the counter just hanging around for atleast 10 minutes but I tried to calm myself down I was thinking maybe that's not my meal surely after I payed my bill and told the multiple workers along with the bar I was here to pick up my order but nope just sitting there waiting literally me and the cook were making eye contact because I was just looking at my food right infront of him actually the dumbest experience in my life this place used to be decent now it's a shit show seems like no one knows what's going on wait times are insane and don't even get me started on the food I open up my meal I got 4 tenders 2 of them I wouldn't even call tenders but I think they probably just half the portions to quickly get it out which is crazy as I waiting over 30 minutes and as you would expect the food was cold I'm assuming the bald head guy was the manager shame on you for looking at my food and thinking "yes this if good to serve to the customer" this place just isnt what it once was . As well the prices are getting insane 15$ for chicken strips when I used to go it was 10$ how tf it go up 5$ I was in shock 15$ for the smallest coldest chicken fingers you'll ever see don't forget you'll get a side of rock hard fries moral of the story I will not be coming back here read more

Ordered take-out. There were a number of things that irritated me. First, some guy insulted me as I sat at the end of the bar where take-out is picked up. The food took quite awhile, but they were extremely busy. I did see the food being put into the bag finally. But, it sat right there for almost 10 minutes. After saying something to the bartender, she went and got it when she had a minute (not her job, so yay for her). Got home and was disappointed again. My salad had no salad dressing (nor was it on the side). It consisted of nothing but lettuce and a ton of onions. Mind you, I ordered my burger with no onions, but... And they put the "salad" in the same container as my nice hot burger (which was good btw). My wife ordered a focaccia, but it did not come with any sauce (the main reason she ordered it). I understand things can go wrong, but pretty disappointed in the experience. It'll be awhile before we try them again. read more

I love Zipps in central Phoenix and thought this would be the same experience! It was horrible especially the food here. Nothing compared to the other locations. I ordered the Zipps wings which were not cooked all the way. My husband got the thousand island burger which had no flavor and the fries were not cooked all the way and loaded with grease still. The sodas tasted like dirty water as did the water I had. I gave one star because the waitress Skye was amazing and provided excellent service. We will not be returning here and will not recommend to others. My opinion is they get better cooks to match the caliber of excellence at other Zipps in the valley. My Zipperita with chambord was ok! read more

I love coming to this zipps, I always order pick up for my family and a very few times I've been asked to wait at the bar. I am 19 and have had no problem in the past having to sit in the 21+ section. Today (10/4/24) we were allowed to sit there and the server took our drinks and than asked if we were over 21. After saying no she made us move and gave a different server. I thought this was very rude and extra of her to do. Obviously she doesn't know us but she was out a lot of tip money that night, knowing the adults there weren't going to tip her that well anyways. I always tip more than half so sucks for her :((( read more

We give up. We live nearby and so badly want a good sports bar to go to but thats not a priority here. We wanted to watch the gold medal basketball game featuring USA but they said due to a corporate mandate they had to show the bills preseason game, which nobody seemed to care about. They did offer to put it on a small tv for us with no sound but we wanted to enjoy ourselves a little more than that. So we went a mile away to Cold Beers and Cheesburgers where they had the USA game all over the bar with sound. Common sense lost and so will our business after many years! read more

Food was terrible. Chicken tasted like wood. Onion rings were soggy and I order a Turkey burger with a side salad. Burger came and I really wish it would not have! While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin' Of the moment that it's time to leave And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin' Into something that looks like cheese. Oh so I said "That's it, I gotta leave this place I don't care what these people think, I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous With this ugly food that stinks" So I bust out the door while it's still closed Still sick from the food I ate And then you run to the store for quick relief From a bottle of Kaopectate And I waited 30 min for my BEER! Please do better! All love read more

We live in Ahwatukkee and I've been to Zipps on Warner through MANY MANY bartenders and wait staff. It's nearly like a training ground for servers . Everyone gotta learn and their food is normally good so that's fine. My wife and I usually sit at the bar . We know what we're having on the menu so pretty easy. It's only easy if the wait staff paid attention. We've been to this location probably 25 times , never for sporting events always for the food. Their burgers are great. Well today we decided to go for lunch. It was 12.45. 6 other customers in the whole place. Gave the bartender our order . Drinks came out all is good. As for the burgers fries and onion rings ‍!! Not so good. My fries were cold and my wife's onion rings seemed to be reheated and tough. I asked for another order of fries and forgive me if I like to eat them with my burger . Took so long to remake an order of fries when they did arrive I said no thanks . We would have had a second drink except why bother throwing money away ? I was upset cuz the bill was still $50.00.....and the satisfaction was zero. The bartender didn't care enough to call the manager over so I asked to see him. So rude !! With 6 people in the place if you can't deliver hot food with good service then you should probably look into a new profession . The manager said well if you're not satisfied then don't come back !! WTF . I will never return there . Rude management is probably the reason there's only 6 people in the place for lunch . OWNER WAKE UP . I get your money is made on alcohol but if you serve food try harder AND replace the unless manager. read more

Took my wife to dinner on a Friday evening. The hostess sat my wife and I at a booth next to a large party of raucous women. They were literally screaming profanities and causing a disturbance to all of the patrons in the dining room. They were so loud that I couldn't even hear my wife speaking to me from across the booth. Not once in the hour or so that we were there did a manager come over and tell them to stop screaming because they were disrupting everyone's meal. I literally inhaled the rest of my mediocre meal to get out as quickly as possible to stop my ears from ringing. When I spoke to the manager on duty she made it seem like it was no big deal. I will not be back. read more

Waitress name started with S. She had a black hair clip up in her blonde hair. Waitress was was short from the get go. She placed drinks infront of my 12 month old and I said hey can you pass them out on the other side of me so he won't spill them. She huffed. Then she was back near the windows talking with other servers on a Sunday during football season and it's busy. We waited 25/30 mins and no food and she hadn't check in on us. Our son was fussy so I flagged another lady and asked her to ask our waitress if she could ask our waitress if any food was up and if she could just bring that so I could placate my son.some of Our food had been in the window for over five mins bc I saw her grab it and bring it over including the babies food she rudely said "it just came up" I said no some of it had been sitting up there for over five mins I could see it from here. She retorted in an extremely rude voice yeah your food not your sons what are you going to do eat in front of him. I responded no, he's 1 he doesn't actually care if he gets his order he just wants food so yeah I could just give him some of mine. She huffed and stormed off. A minute later she came with the check plate and flung it at me (I'm in my first trimester and pregnant). She yelled I won't be your waitress anymore. I said ok I'd like to see the manager now and she said good! I'll go get him. I cried bc again newly pregnant and hormonal. He just gave the normal platitudes of I'll talk to her that's unacceptable. Nothing was done about our bill. But he cashed us out. Then we looked at our sons corn dogs the batter was still raw so he went back and took those off the bill. I understand having a bad day but taking it out on customers is not cool. read more

Used to be our favorite but Service is now sketchy. Sometimes good sometimes not so good. It was bearable when the prices were low but like everywhere else costs are higher. They've raised theirs. The burgers are good, but cost 80% more. Glad inflation is down read more

Disappointed that they have a patio and won't allow dogs. Especially when the weather outside is so nice, might want to reconsider this decision! read more

The funny thing about this reply is this lovely person insinuating I was getting trashed. Let me try to simplify this for you - The issue is that you've made up some arbitrary rule to force people to buy food- you want to cut me off? Fine, never heard of that without any reason but I didn't care and I sure I didn't make a scene. It was HOW it was handled. I questioned why I was being forced to buy food which is no where in Arizona liquor law. Why bartenders are circling my receipts and passing it around. Honestly you all must have nothing better to do...and Judging by your reviews, your callous reply to me, paired with how absurdly slow it was on a college football playoff night I'm guessing im right. Any well run busy establishment would never handle themselves this way. I'm not surprised you'd try to imply I did something wrong. I tipped your bar staff and left and let the community know how you handle things. Clearly I was right to do so. read more
