The Scene – There might be a lot of eastside yuppies in the mixed clientele, but everybody comes here. You'll find the blue jean-and-T-shirt crowd, the office guys in ties and everyone in between. Folks cram into the front room where TV monitors blare, the jukebox roars and the legendary model train circles the ceiling. It's loud and lively and lots of fun. – – The Food – A Cincinnati favorite for more than 70 years, the Zip burger has been consistently voted best burger in town. Made from high-quality beef, it's broiled and comes in a toasty bun slathered with…
Great burger, cramped space
by gerrys0
One of the best burgers in Cincy, second maybe to Terry's Turf Club, or perhaps Gordo's. The toy train that runs around is fun and enhances atmosphere. Not much seating space, so can get very crowded at times.
- Pros: One of the best burgers in town, toy train running up top.
- Cons: Cramped space. Impossible to get a table on a weekend night.
Cincy's Best?
by ThreeCreedsBack
In every Cincinnati publication rave reviews can be found about Zips. Having just moved to the area I wanted to see what the hype was about and wanted to discover some shred of culture in Cincinnati. To my misfortune this is a cut-rate burger joint that can barely stack up against chain burger restaurants. To begin, this is a mediocre-at best burger. The burgers were small, and the flavor is lacking and the price is out of its league. I can honestly make a better burger in my microwave.
Great burger, lacks in ambiance
by wolterjwb
The burgers are very good but quite pricey.
They definitely need to add some light and update the room with something to muffle the sound because of how loud the place gets when it is packed.
Overall, I would go back but there are plenty of local burger joints where the price-point is better.
- Pros: burgers are very good
- Cons: price is out of line for a burger
