ZIP'S CAFE - Cincinnati

Awesome place, awesome service and awesome food... Est. 1926..almost 100 years of continuous service in the same location. If you're in Cinci is a must stop for burger lovers..!!!

Zip's is on every list of best burgers in Cincinnati. We had to try it for ourselves. My husband ordered the Girth burger with cheese, and I had the Zip burger with cheese. Burgers were cooked well and were very juicy. We also split a chili cheese fry(yum! . The food was all very good, but we thought it was expensive for the portions. The biggest downfall (and what would prevent us from returning in the future is the atmosphere here. There is no hostess, and it is first come, first served. The dining room is very small, with no real waiting area. We were unfortunate to get a table near the door, so we were surrounded by people hovering over our table the entire time we were seated. We even had someone reach across our table to grab a menu! The other drawback is parking. It is on street parking and depending on the time of day, you may have to park up the road a ways. Zip's is worth a visit, but I recommend going at an off time during the week for smaller crowds and better parking.

Quiet place midweek 4pm. Meter parking with other options if you wanted to walk. I remember this place as pretty good but, it fell little short. I ordered Zip cheeseburger and Fries. Maker's and coke. Food came out quickly. Fries were very good crisp hot. Not salted so added some. Burger was average nothing special. Drink was good and better than expected. Cost was almost 25 with tip. Nice place but would not go out of my way to eat here. The 8.50 double cheese burger is now almost 15.00. other options but limited menu.

Awesome burgers that I highly recommend to those in search of a great burger in Cincy! . Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Double Zip Burger with cheese was perfectly cooked and one that is hard to put down due to being so juicy!

This is a fun local spot! Seating is first come, first serve. There's no host so you just have to stand around and wait for a table to open up. It felt awkward, but I guess that's normal to regulars. Cozy atmosphere. Good food. Good prices. I love supporting local!
