"The service here is great — friendly and fast, especially considering how packed this place usually is. Zips is always busy, so expect a wait in line. It’s a true Cincinnati staple with plenty of history and that classic, laid-back neighborhood vibe. That said, the food is just okay. The burgers are fine — nothing mind-blowing, but solid. The fries this time were a bit stale. Our server did their best to keep up, but they were clearly swamped. If you’re in a hurry, this probably isn’t the spot for a quick bite. Come with a little patience, soak up the nostalgic atmosphere, and go more for the experience than for the food itself."

"I would say a 5 out of 5. It was cool to experience a business that’s been in business for 100 years. It takes a lot to accomplish that milestone. The burger, beer and fries were very delicious."

"You don't stick around for 100 years without making a few friends. Zips embodies that. The food is pretty straight forward Cincinnati burger fare, but they do it well. Always a few good beers on tap, and the kids still love the train."

"I had to check this out after a colleague kept raving about it. It was a great burger with a really fresh thick juicy patty. Definitely worth to check it out."

"My mom & dad used to live in Mount Lookout and have always loved Zip’s, and now my brother & I do too! It’s one of those places that stands the test of time & keeps people coming back. We visited during the very busy lunch rush and had about a 10-15 minute wait to be seated. The staff kept things moving and got us settled quickly. There was a roughly 30 minute wait for the food, but it was definitely worth it. Everything came out hot, fresh, & delicious. My parents mentioned the chilli portion was a bit smaller than remembered and were a bit hungry afterwards, but overall the quality and flavor of the food made up for it. Zip’s continues to be a family favorite, and we’d love to go back again sometime soon!"
