Zipps is a local treasure. You know what you're getting at this restaurant. One thing I'm always getting is a Zipperita. The best frozen drink I've ever had . So good that they limit how many a customer can order during a visit. Our waitress was attentive and amazing . Great bar/restaurant vibes. A modern version of Cheers! read more

Zipps Sports Grill - Firecracker Zipperita - American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

walk in vibes are very loud music but chill vibes as long as ur cool not talking or yelling to your partner.. but sports bar /restaurant inside and patio covered seating. all American bites, and bevies plenty to choose from.. I love AMERICAN.. can't go wrong for me great burgers and wings:) server was nice and brought out what was asked in a pleasant manner.. food was great and great size we had each left overs. I order the burger and fry, my mans ordered the hot wings, and side fry. I tried his wings and my mouth was on FIRE! lol I honestly don't do hot but I gave it a go because I LOVE wings!!.. but dang ur girl was on fire chugging and swishing milk.. but honestly even tho they were to hot for me the lean meat and slight crisp wing was pretty great and flavorful.. id go for a med/mild myself.. but burning they were still pretty flavorful.. draft beer and cocktails available, he got a large beer and that it was came out in a giant mug with a handle and I got the ziparita- margarita and I liked that I could ACTUALLY .. taste the tequila in the margarita. read more

Dined: 3.14.26: Came during the Tempe arts festival. While it was busy upon arrival, we were seated right away. We're told food may take 45min but it came out sooner. We REALLY wanted to like the food but it was BLAND, all of the food we ate. Chicken skewers had no flavor, my fries & sweet potato chips were stale (they brought me "fresh fries" but by then most my meal was done, I had to beg my family to eat them-they didn't). The spring roll wrapped mozzarella sticks were bland as well w/ not even a tiny cheese pull & the side sauces didn't help. The only reason my sandwich had flavor is b/c I got the one with all the jalapeños. Server was friendly but for Zipps having slowed down by the time we got there & having given us a heads up they'll need more time in the kitchen, to then be served stale fries/chips, room temp food& bland.... was wild! We won't return but you do you. read more

Popped in for lunch while the wife was at Dazey. Ordered their lunch special (Tuna sandwich and Green Bay Chili) Sat at the big, game changing bar in the middle of the establishment. Wasn't too busy on a Thursday afternoon. Sports on TV (it's a sports bar), but it's not football season yet so it's not my sport, haha. The Green Bay Chili was good, nothing to write home about. Best compared to school chili we all had from yesteryear. I was pleasantly surprised about the tuna, with lettuce and tomato. It was a half sandwich and really the perfect lunch portion. This is a cool place to watch sports, eat some food and wait for your wife to get done at Dazey. Tempe is a cool area, and I'm glad we venture here as often as we do. If I were a college student I'd come here more often. read more

Food is good, large portions. Atmosphere is nice and lively. They are kid friendly. Tons of seating. Took a little while to take our order, but once they did the food came out pretty quick. Waitress was friendly. Be careful if you ask for ranch or a space, they do charge extra. Wasn't aware until the end. Its not much, but she did ask of we wanted it and then charged us so just surprised was all. Chicken skewers come in a pretty good quantity and it's a breaded chicken, so good. Same with chicken fingers. We couldn't finish either one. Burgers are huge! read more

Stopped in after the ASU bowl game and we got a table right away despite it being packed. They were pretty busy and the kitchen was very backed up. Although food was coming up on the order counter fast the servers seemed confused and didn't get it out timely. We ordered drinks and somehow 3 people in our party had to ask 3x before their water came out. We had about 8 people in our party and eventhough our order went in together food came out at different times. Some of our orders were messed up and missing items and we had to wait for the corrections. When we noticed them it was wrong the server just let out a huge sigh and stomped back to the kitchen as if it was our fault. One of the members of our party didn't get their food I think they forgot to put it in. His food came out after we noticed 2 people and we were almost done. They need a better system so many receipts hanging and food sitting under lights and servers standing around looking lost and confused. They had enough staff on duty but I suggest they have a meeting and discuss order and responsibilities. The restrooms were unkempt, food service disorderly. The cooks and the hostess and busboys and bartenders seemed to man their stations well. Those in between need some work. My Salad was decent and wings hot and spicy with good flavor. Beware if you get dipping sauce such as ranch they charge per sauce. read more

I was recommended to try the wings. The wings were decent better than the rest of the food. But the sandwich was just average. The fries and sweet potato chips weren't crunchy that day. The place by itself was good. It was almost full for a Sunday afternoon. They have a lot of screens, with a lot of games going. The crowd and the vibe on that day was good. The servers were also very patient and helpful. Id have given this place a 3 if not for the service and the place. Id not recommend this place if food is the main priority. But if it's drink and have a good time watching the games, then it's a nice visit. read more

Basic bar food? Yes. Good service & good time? Also yes. The service was fantastic. Everyone from the host to our waiter Grant was super friendly & responsive. read more

This five stars doesn't mean this was exceptional by any means but I have nothing to complain about! Stopped in here for lunch after walking around downtown Tempe because football was on - there are loads of TVs everywhere so you can see a screen wherever you sit, great! We switched tables so we could sit in a booth and it wasn't communicated to anyone so no server came over for 15 minutes until we had to ask - not necessarily their fault, the server was apologetic and very nice. I got the tuna salad with honey balsamic dressing. It was pretty big portion of tuna, came with four carrot sticks and celery sticks and lettuce. Not the most impressive salad but it was tasty with the dressing. Very limited gluten free wise. My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich with fries. He liked it enough for it being sports bar food. The fries were a little soggy. He liked his church music per usual. Faster service even with the place being busy read more

we got here late around 9:50 pm, our server with the blonde hair and bangs was so lovely, she was talkative and attentive the whole time, our food came out hot and fresh, i got a complimentary cookie because it was my birthday, i loved my blue cheese burger and my boyfriend loved the fish sandwich, the cookie skillet was amazing we were already stuffed before getting it but we made room to finish it all, the expresso martini wasn't foamy at all and tasted really watered down, i was disappointed since it cost $12 but overall i loved my dinning experience here, i can't wait to come back and try new items read more

I ordered a Cobb Salad and Nachos here and the Nachos I did my best until I couldn't any longer. I would pick up a chip and the whole plate would come up. Incredibly soggy and couldn't pull a chip apart from the microwaved or opened cheese. They were just bad. Told manager and he denied that they looked bad by observation even when I proved what I said visually. Said because I ate a 1/3 he would still charge me full price. I was upset and the manager was incredibly rude. I waited for the check after watching game and was thinking because I ate and drank there for a few hours he would have taken care of it. No such luck. I hate a choice to take it out on the tip of the nice ladies there or take the high road. I took the high road. Just wanted to make it clear the manger at this location in Tempe is a complete joke and should never have management position after looking at nachos and what I was explaining and still siding with his business. Haven't yelped in years. This guy deserves it. Total ego loser and not for customers. Bartenders all agreed and felt sorry Manager, Hispanic guy looked not sure his name, clearly isn't qualified for customer service. All three bartenders said sorry multiple times and apologized for how the nachos looked. Not about the money it's the principle of the matter. Guy was a jerk and should have owned poor service and food. read more

Second time at this location. I like this location better than the one in Ahwatukee.. typical bar food with large selection of options. Service was nice. We went here for lunch. I always enjoy my wings from here. read more

Zipps Sports Bar is truly the bomb. I must say, Zipps truly deserves a solid 4-star rating. The main reason being that my friends absolutely love this place, and I can see why! The food is good, mainly the Monaco Focaccia and the 50/50 blend of fries and onion rings. It is one delicious sandwich. Pair that with a cold beer and top-notch service, and you've got yourself a winning combination. If you're looking for a great spot to hang out with friends and enjoy some tasty bar eats, Zipps is the place to be! read more

I'd say that Zipps deserves both of these stars. When you walk in, it's LOUD but hey, it's a sports bar. There is amble over-stimulation but again, to be expected. The server was friendly and she shared some ideas about the menu which we appreciated. Then came the wait. We were a party of 8. The first two meals came out. Then a few minutes later the third. Then the fourth. Then the appetizers and then the last four meals. The Chicken focaccias were fine. The wings were fine. The fries were limp and soggy. We finally got the servers attention to ask for silverware because it hadn't been delivered. And we had to ask for water refills which they do one at a time. They literally take a glass away and walk somewhere to fill it and then come back for the next one. With so many choices so close by, I'll pass on Zipps next time. read more

We had an enjoyable visit to Zipps when in Tempe recently. My daughter and I were in town to attend the NCAA Final Four and wanted to watch the women's Final Four in a sports bar. We arrived an hour or so before the game began & were able to choose the best table to watch the game. We were glad about that because the place filled up as it got closer to game time. We ordered drinks, and my daughter selected the corn dog appetizer basket. My daughter loved the corn dogs. As the place filled up, service got really spotty. I ended up ordering additional drinks by going up the bar. I then had to chase down to get our check as the game was ending. All in all, a good experience. Very cool place to watch sports! read more

Last week, after church, I decided to stop by Zipps to catch the end of a playoff game. Much to my delight, the wings I ordered were exceptionally crispy--a first for me, as they're usually on the soggier side. I was so thrilled with the unexpected crispiness that I might have even done a little food dance! I enjoyed my time at the bar, where the service was excellent. Although I'm not typically a huge fan of pizza, I find Zipps' pizza slices to be particularly tasty. I'm hopeful that this newfound extra-crispy wing experience wasn't just a one-time occurrence! Zipps is top three wings in AZ! read more

Grant was our server and he handled this very massive party with ease! We recommend the Zipparitas because no matter how small they appear they very much pack a punch! I had the GrandMarier variation which easily was so strong it might make a pirate pass out! Also, don't be fooled by their 'fish taco' it's not one. It's an incredible Fish burrito and I could eat five of them! So good! Thank you for all the good customer service and being way fun! We shall come back fo sho! read more

Zipps Sports Grill is one of my favorites! I love the Monaco Foccacia with a salad, or the half-and-half fries and onion ring combo is always a win. Don't miss out on their Zipparitas--they're the best! Great spot for food, drinks and watching the games! Go Pack Go! read more

Food is mid AF. Cool atmosphere but I can find a cooler atmosphere with better food and service. I'll never return.

I ordered the corn dogs for $13.78 and zipps need to be ashamed for calling that food. I could not but the hot dogs and the fries were burnt. I threw the whole order away when I called to complain the do called mgr said there are no refunds. They should post a sign saying if they screw up your food no refunds.....I will not go there again........ read more

My co-workers repeatedly kill my Yelper heart by wanting to go to Chipotle for lunch. While Chipotle isn't bad, why not go for something different, maybe non-chain? So I drug them down to Mill Ave. We walked Mill and of all the places to go, they chose Zipps, another chain. These are the same people who complain that Arizona has no good food. Zipps, like Chipotle, is not bad. But I've been here multiple other times. Place was clean. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was correct. Food was good/plentiful. Plenty of sports on, as it should be at a sports bar. 3.5 stars rounded to 4. read more

Their specialty margs (zipparita) are always the go to. Good deal but never the BEST but also never really disappointed. Nothing too special but nothing to REALLY complain about. Tacos were good but the fish and chips we would not get again. Servers are friendly and the atmosphere is what you'd expect from a sports bar. read more

We went to Zipps for one drink and a snack. The bartender and server did not know how to make the drink we requested, they brought our quesadilla out with no napkins, plates or silverware. Upon eating we realized they brought our quesadilla out with marinara and not salsa. Nice, but literally didn't care about anything not did anyone ask how things were going. We had to walk to the bar to get the drinks remedied. Ask a manager for plates and flatware and by the time we realized there was no salsa. We were just over it. The quesadilla was good. read more

We were there for lunch that took almost 2 hrs. Group of 4. Waited for service, our waitress explained she was new. We totally understand that. Food finally came for 3 of us. We notified both the person the food, and our waitress. The 4th persons good came after the 3 of us were done. One of the parties asked to speak to the manager to request the 4th lunch compensated. The manager finally came over, we explained that it was not the waitresses fault, and he commented "oh good, I won't have to fire her". Her then went on to explain the cool staff is all new. Didn't show any empathy or apologized. He then went to talk to our waitress. Asked for our check 3 times and was told she had to talk to the manager about compensation for the 4th lunch. We saw the manager and her talking 3 times. Finally I indicated I'll just pay for all the lunches and left. We had contemplated leaving the money on the table (minus the lunch that was extremely late), but my fear was our waitress would end up having to pay for it. The god was not good either. The onion rings were hard, the sandwiches thrown together. The fries were good. If I could rate this as zero I would. Coming from this service industry (as both waitress and manager), the manager did not handle this situation well at all. You could tell the waitress was upset and frazzled and avoiding out table. There were many people/other tables that were having issues with this establishment on our visit. This location needs some serious help! read more

My coworkers wanted to check out the Handlebar on Mill in Tempe after work on a Wednesday, and found out they were closed! We headed next door to Zipps instead. We would sit inside but it was god-awfully loud in there with all the TVs blasting, so we opted to sweating outside on their patio. Really wish they had misters. Oh well, at least it wasn't busy at all. Our server was super friendly and attentive. She got our first round of drinks and never strayed too far for too long. Of course, as the night progressed and more drinks and coworkers arrived, then more servers began bringing out the food and drinks. I ordered a Tito's and coke and boy was it strong! I appreciated that, but once the ice melted, it wasn't easy going down - too much syrup, blah. Prices are just outrageous. I thought it said $6 Tito's for happy hour but I must've missed the 8-10PM time frame because my bill said $7.25 for the drink (it was only a "single" glass too). The table ordered nachos, pretzel bites, wings, and more and everything was pretty good. My favorite was the pretzel bites, but definitely tasted like what you'd expect a bar on Mill to taste like. Just wished they had misters outside - or at least turn the TVs down so people are able to hold conversations! read more

I have never written a negative Yelp review before, but this experience was unbelievable. My group came in, ordered drinks, and were just trying to enjoy our time. Shortly after, the manager came over and told us we had to leave because one of the IDs was not valid, and they actually took the ID. We explained that we needed it for a flight home and asked if they could call the non emergency line to verify. A few minutes later, another employee came by and apologized, saying they just had never seen an Arkansas ID before. We thought it was cleared up, but then later someone else came over again and said we had to leave because they heard our conversations about the situation and just wanted us gone. Meanwhile, multiple staff members were openly talking about it and making faces in front of us, which was incredibly uncomfortable. They made us pay for the drinks and would not even let us finish them. When we asked why, one of the staff members said, "Yeah, I bet your parents paid for it anyway." The communication between staff was chaotic. Three different employees gave us three completely different explanations, and not one handled it professionally. Overall, it was confusing, disrespectful, and disappointing. read more

Food was absolutely amazing, best pretzels I've had in a while. Menu has a little bit of everything and everything that we did try was great! Service was typically slow but always friendly.

Stopped by here for lunch while I was in town for a work conference. I'm not from this area but the food was good. I will say I was here around lunchtime during the weekday and there weren't many people inside so your experience may vary. But I ordered the mozzarella stick which for some reason comes wrapped in egg roll wrapping. Is that a west thing? Not really sure, they tasted like egg rolls filled with cheese. The club sandwich was also really good. Really enjoyed it, fries weren't my favorite but they still did the job. Overall I wouldn't mind coming stopping by here again. read more
