What a fun and cool bar/restaurant to have dinner and drinks at! We ate there on a Saturday during WeFest and it was very busy but for how busy it was we didn't wait too long for our food. The Macho Nachoz were good. My only complaint is that we ran out of salsa but the waiters were nice enough to bring some more over along with some extra chips. Overall I would recommend, but just know that you could easily eat that as your meal for how filling they were. We ordered a large Bunn Zpecial which feeds 4-5 people or about 16 slices. I only had 2 slices of the pizza, as I was more interested in the nachos, and those slices were very good. The crust was just right and the ingredients were not overwhelming for the amount of ingredients on the pizza. read more

Zorbaz - Macho Nachoz (beef and chicken) and a large Bunn Zpecial - Mexican Near Me - Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

Zorbaz is an eternal classic of Minnesota lake country! If you know, you know. Honestly, I don't wanna be that person, but I really don't love Zorbaz. The idea of a mexican/ pizza place where all letter s's are substituted by a z (do you underztand what I'm zaying?) is really fun. But to me, the food is pretty average. The pizza is definitely the star and best thing to get here. I've also had the taco salad and that was enjoyable. If you're feeling Mexican obviously do as you please, but most people come here for the pizza. Like I said, the food isn't anything super special, it's kind of average but pizza is pretty hard to mess up. They do have a good assortment of beers on tap as well, so you have a lovely beer & pizza combo if you so choose. If you in lake country, Zorbaz really iz an iconic muzt ztop! read more

Such a fun and delicious spot! This place definitely encompasses the 'lake-life' vibe of Detroit Lakes. It's mainly a bar, but has a full pizza/mexican food menu to pair. When you arrive they check IDs at the door and you receive a wristband if you're over 21. You seat yourself and can order at the bar. There are staff members everywhere if you need something! I ordered the taco salad and a tequila soda pineapple. The drink was quick and the bartender was friendly. After getting a number and sitting back at my table, all of our food started coming quick! We ordered chips and salsa and it was easy to get chip refills. Taco salad was good, nothing super special but hits the spot after a long day outside! The pizza also looked delicious and I wish I had gotten a personal one to try as well. Would definitely come back here if in the area! read more

Visited Zorbas while at a friends cabin for a girls weekend and it was the perfect stop for dinner and drinks! Lots of food options and easy to change things around for dietary preferences, our friend who is vegan had lots of options. I got the Mexican pizza and it was delicious! I didn't realize how large a small would be but it gave me lots of leftovers! And it came with chips (bottomless!) and salsa which was great. The Minnesota marg was also perfect for a warm night after a day at the lake. We will definitely be back here the next time we're at the cabin! read more

I'm in DL for work and several people recommended I try Zorbaz. Having not been there before, I took the bartender's recommendation of the Thai Pie - it was absolutely delicious with just the right amount of heat. Fun atmosphere too! I'll be craving that pizza... read more

If you are in lakes country and don't stop at Zorbaz, then did you are denying yourself. Zorbaz is a mainstay in DL and the surrounding area, and it is always busy for a reason. I took my partner here who is originally from Miami while we were back home visiting family, and she still talks about it. The food is classic, the drinks are great, and if you visit on a weekend in the summer, it is an experience all to itself. It can be tough to find a spot to sit on a Friday or Saturday in the summer, but that comes with eating a one of the most popular places in town. It is a counter service order, so while they will deliver your food to your table, you do need to go up to the bar to order your food and drinks. As far as food goes you really can't go wrong. The pizza is great, the Mexican food is better (in my opinion) and the bar staff will help you with any questions you might have. read more

As a first time customer and someone new to the area, this place was awesome! Staff was nice & helped out when had some questions regarding how the seating worked, ordering, and drinks. Has plenty of room for huge parties or small groups inside and outside! Even had a good view of the lake so you're able to just relax & hangout. Tried the pizza there and was delicious, breading was a killer! All of the seating was also wiped down and cleaned nicely, would come back! read more

I ordered the Zorbaz Special pizza, which came loaded with toppings. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the combination of fresh ingredients made each bite flavorful. The cheese was gooey and melted beautifully, and the sauce had a nice balance of sweetness and tang. read more

If you are in the Detroit Lakes area, be sure and check out Zorbaz. We ate here two nights in a row. Great atmosphere with plenty of outdoor seating. And it's right across from the lake so you can take a stroll after you eat. They have large variety of beers on tap. The menu is primarily pizza and Mexican. Order at the bar, they give you a number and bring it out to you. Our first night we had a couple of pizzas and garlic bread which came with a meat sauce. The pizzas were good, nothing spectacular. Ditto for the garlic bread. The second night we had the nachos. It's a HUGE platter w/beans, jalapenos, olives, chicken or beef, salsa, and sour cream. This easily fed three of us and we had nachos left over. The staff was friendly and fun and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely continue to go back! read more

You can't go wrong with this great little place... read more

I love Zorbaz in DL for the casual vibe & summer experience, spending some time at the beach then heading over to eat on the patio. I rate that a 5 because it's something we look forward to as a family, but only really do it once per year. They have excellent pizza and drink selections. For food taste & quality, I rate it more of a 4ish. You order at a counter and they have plenty of staff that come around to bring your food and clean up. The nice thing about the counter service is that you do not need to wait for a check, you can just split when you're done. For a pizza place, it's not an inexpensive meal. Again, I think some of what you pay for is the experience. With a tip, the four of us recently had one XL pizza, one 8" personal pizza & 4 sodas, and it was $60. Worth it as we only do this once per year on average. read more

I ordered the Taco Pizza and it was okay but not as good as many others I have had. The bartender takes your order and he was a surly fellow not what you want in a service business. The chips and salsa again are nothing to shout about and I have had better salsa in a jar. I don't understand the hype about this place and unless I stopped for a beer after a day at the beach I wouldn't revisit this place. read more

Everyone loves zorbaz. For the atmosphere I guess? The pizza is good but it'll cost you damn near $100 for two of them and couple beers.

Just can't give this place another try anymore. Perhaps they cater to the seasonal lake goer and they find it nostalgic but every time I find it a complete waste of money. I ordered a small pizza basic pep and olives and it was bland nothing to it. $18! My visit before I ordered a Mexican dish it was the same bland and nothing special. If you want to get your drink on I get they cater to that but the food. Awful and overly priced. I'm local and wish there were more restaurant options other than this place but they will get you every time because they can on the lake! read more

Easy going, swimsuit casual dining on bar foods to include delicious pizza variants like The Rueben. Lite thousand island dressing, with sauerkraut, corned beef and Swiss. Crust was crisp and combination was tasty. read more

people up front took my friends ID and wouldn't give it back to her when we were just trying to go to the bathroom. TOOK HER ID. she is 21 and wasn't trying to drink at all just trying to pick up our takeout order and use the bathroom. Had to CALL THE COPS and verify her ID. WE ARE ALL 21. AWFUL. had to wait 30 minutes for it!!!!! deserve a refund or something. going to talk to the police and get a video of it. read more

Having lived in Detroit Lakes for over seven years, and two of those mere blocks away from here - I suppose it is time for a long overdue review. The pizza is pretty good, while things can get a bit iffy with the Mexican stuff. The burritos and the tacos seem average and overpriced for the quality. Same for the Macho Nachos. Lots of beer to choose from. Not a bad place to hang out and have a few brews in the fall or winter. Gets pretty crazy in the summer. read more

Zorbaz - Marg!!! - Mexican Near Me - Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

We've been there twice in this week. The first time, it was freezing cold. And I never get cold. I ordered a margarita, which I never got. When I asked to change it to a Coke, she said she totally forgot the margarita, because she was so busy. There were few people there at the time. I don't get why this place was so busy the second time, other than it was Friday night. You have to go to the bar to place your order, yet there must have been 25 "servers" aimlessly wandering around with bar rags in their hands. Only a few were actually doing anything while wandering. While you are at the bar ordering, you can guarantee you'll lose your table unless someone stays at it. I asked for a box for my leftover mediocre pizza and the girl told me where they were. OK, so you're too busy wandering to actually do something? Like provide a box on one of your 100 rounds around the restaurant? I get that it's "cute" to use a Z instead of an S, but it gets a bit old trying to read the menu with all those Zs. I would never return to this place. Even if the food was epic. There is nothing but total chaos, slow "service", entirely too many table cleaners (note "servers" was not used) that have no work ethic and the food, other than the guacamole, is below average. Zorry Zorbaz, not imprezzed in the leazt. read more

Very good food. We had two different pizzas and both outstanding with plenty of toppings; they do not skimp. A bit pricey but most often you have to pay for quality. Only thing that kept it 4 rather than 5 stars was the clunky order at bar find your own seat and then our chips and zalsa came out after our pizzas. read more

Thee best cauliflower pizza crust ever!!!! I had a Mexican pizza and it was fantastic!!

The food is usually good, I've had a few bad meals from here but it's rare. I also feel like the prices are a bit expensive but if that's not an issue for you than you could do worse. The Pizza, and the Nachos are the best items on the menu in my opinion. read more

Okay, this place is amazing! Food was great, and experience well worth the trip! I would highly recommend it if you are in the DL area. Macho Nachoz are killer! read more

Fun fantastic fabulous. If you are at the lake this is a don't miss spot. Your family will love this place.

We ordered a pizza tonight for Mother's Day said it would be 20 minutes an it would be ready . We drove in from outside of town and waited another fifteen to twenty minutes When I finally got the pizza which was supposed to be Hawaiian there was no pineapple. The staff refunded my money and gave me the pizza. Glad it was free tasted like crap so the dog had pizza for Mother's Day read more

The pizza here is amazing! So many different flavors to choose from, and 4 different sizes (8, 10, 13, and 16"). There is definitely a flavor for any taste. We had the Thai Pie, and Zorba the Greek and loved both. The mile long public beach is directly across the street if you prefer a picnic style meal - see photo! read more

Lauren the bartender had a massive attitude when I asked her to remake my margarita due to it not matching the menu and tasting gross. The menu does not list Sprite Zero as an ingredient in it, and it makes it taste like diet soda. That ingredient should be on the menu if it's in the drink. She refused multiple times to make me a new one even when I already spent $70 on my family meal and tipped her 20%. She was really rude and should not be in customer service. I would not come back again based on this experience. The food was mediocre -- you go for the proximity to the beach. The young ladies who deliver your food were polite and efficient. My advice is don't tip on the front end -- tip after you've gotten your order because they won't make it right without a big problem. read more

Definitely a local staple! With the atmosphere it's a great place to stop after a hockey game or a lake day! My favorite pizza is the Colby Classic or Zorba the Greek. Just give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

So I'm not sure why Zorbas thinks I should be their f***ing janitor. I spent $120+ at Zorbas and me and my friends were kicked out for someone else's garbage that was left on the table (empty shooters bottle) and the audacity of Tara to say we should have cleaned it off the table...umm hello? Are we supposed to do the job of the bus boy? I'm confused? Also, the pizza was forgettable and the sweatshirts were over priced. Never coming here again. ZERO STARS read more

To be frank, my family iz happiest at Zorbaz. My daughter and I zimply can not get enough of the zany antics the ztaff does with their letter choicez.
