fizz burgers and bottles

best burgers in town!  we usually get the extra spicyburgeror the boursinburgerand the sweet potato fries are to die for!  this is definitely a family favorite.

this was one of the stops on ourburgerjoint challenge.  overall it was a nice place.  i was not impressed with the service.  we were a big group and the manager was not pleased with us taking up too many tables.  i guess she was saving those for better customers than us.  theburgeritself was not bad at all.  i just found it to a little on the bland side.  the sides were great.  if you are into craft soda then the selection here is great.  i am more of a craft beer man myself, but it was lunchtime, so i pay any attention to the beer selection (if they even had one).  overall, i would say this place will not disappoint you.  it just isn't award winning.

really excellent place. whole fizz doesn't have the largestburgermenu, the burgers they do make are made to perfection. eachburgeris available in a 1/4 or 1/2 pound size, and grilled better than anywhere else in town that i've had. just a touch of crispness on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. mm mm mm, they are delicious! they also offer a fun selection of somewhat rare sodas in glass bottles. all in all, we had a fantastic experience and will be back!

on the one hand, this is a "basic" burgers-and-fries type place. the burgers are basic burgers with a variety of toppings and the fries (the regular ones) are large, unseasoned, fresh-cut, but basic fries.

on the other hand, the burgers and fries are both amazing. i'll start with the burgers. yes, they are pretty basic, but they are made from fresh ground beef, cooked perfectly with fresh and plentiful toppings. you can get yourburgerin either 1/4 pound or 1/2 pound sizes. the burgers are slightly greasy and moist ... just the way aburgerought to be.

and the fries:  some of the best fries i've ever had in wichita. yes, they don't have any fancy seasoning on them. but they are made from fresh cut potatoes and they are fried to perfection. these aren't frozen and recooked. these are made just like you'd make them at home.  order the small (for one person). it's plenty. 

i'm not a beer connoisseur, so i'll let someone else address their selection of brews. needless to say, they have a lot of choices.  if soda is more your thing, they also have a variety of bottled sodas, but they don't have a fountain. they advertise 31 varieties of root beer, if you're a fan of root beer. 

after this amazing review, you may be wondering why my rating was only 4.5 and not 5.  it almost could have been 5,  but i'll knock them on two issues.  first, the seating is pretty limited.  if they are busy, you may not find a place to sit, although when i was there, i didn't have to wait.  (of course, that means there is plenty of parking available).  second, the service was a little slow. given the size of the place and the number of servers, it should have been better. i noticed a number of times, however, the servers seemed to be standing in the back waiting for food to be finished, rather than going around refilling drinks or asking if they could help.  please note, the service wasn't terrible. it just could have been better.

for aburgerand fries, the prices may seem a bit high to some, but i think they are justified, given the quantity and quality of the food.  but beware, these aren't $5 burgers.

in spite of those issues, this was still a great dining experience. i highly recommend fizz burgers and bottles and i'll definitely return.

i used to love this place! but unfortunately that has passed. the burgers are pretty good (i have had better in wichita). i used to get this spicyburgerwith garlic aioli and roasted garlic sauces for dipping. i ordered a bottle to try once, but i wasn't that impressed. the downside of fizz is the service. the waitresses have always been pretty good, although sometimes forgetful. however, the last time i was there, theburgerwas just okay after tasting others in town and  one of the owners basically tried to get my mom and i to leave, so that they could seat others. we weren't there that long, less than 20 minutes. i am not saying that we wanted to stay there two hours and have a long convo, but don't want to feel rushed either or that we were inferior to other patrons. we could both tell that she wanted us to leave, but now we won't be returning.

not good. way over priced for simple burgers.burgermeat has zero flavor. after you leave you feel like you ate a pound of grease left in your gut and on your tongue. not sure how i just spent 30 bucks on two burgers one order of fries and drinks.

not worth the trip. i had the 1/4 lb. spicyburger(extra hot), sweet potato fries (individual size) & water and my wife had the 1/4 lb. mushroom swiss burger, fries (individual size) & a soft drink. our bill was $23 (not counting tip).

three reasons i didn't care for it: 1) hamburger meat was bland 2) fries were limp & not crispy 3) too expensive for what you get.

drove from derby just try fizz burgers upon a recommendation and reviews; however, was disappointed. on a positive note, service was outstanding & the the spicyburgerwas nice and spicy!

good food, poor service. tried this place for the first time and i was disappointed. my son and i ordered the blue cheese burger, the mushroom swiss burger, a medium order of sweet potato fries, and 2 bottles of soda. the total came to $32.15...pretty pricey! the mushrooms on myburgerwere ice cold...literally. the fries did not come out with the burgers but about 15 min.later. when i complained about the cold mushrooms and late fries, they did offer to redo theburgerbut the attitudes of the waitress and the owner were terrible. they acted annoyed with me and handed off a less than sincere apology. the burgers and fries were very tasty, but the lousy service and high prices offset any desire i would ever have to return.

more fizzling than sizzling eats. devoured by the billions daily, the humble hamburger is undeniably among the most revered and exalted american foods. as such, nearly every restaurant serves a burger. but with such massive production and consumption rates, it's hard to find one that sets itself apart from the ever growing desert of unexciting, ordinary ground beef sandwiches. fizz, with its list of house-made toppings and condiments, looks to step outside the generic fast food and casual dining hamburger experience. but before we get to the cuisine, there are a few hiccups you should be aware of with the service side of the restaurant. set squarely in the casual dining category, you'll enter to find the bar. during my visit no host/hostess was present to guide guests to a seat, which is a bit of a problem when there are few seating options available. to worsen the problem, the entire bar staff stood by and watched, unhelping, as my fiancee and i, soon followed by another pair of diners, entered and waited patiently to be seated. the two gentlemen behind us gave up after nearly ten minutes and left, while my companion and i stuck it out. eventually, a, well, let's politely call him an 'uncouth' man asked if we would mind sitting out at the patio dining area. we said no, we wouldn't mind being seated outside...and he walked off to the kitchen, without another word. unsure of what was expected, we seated ourselves and a waitress eventually found us, realized we weren't offered menus, and promptly brought them. with the initial non-foodstuff related issues behind, the remainder of the service was on par for an informal grill (though other patrons who had to address the man from the front were having similar issues). the 'bottles' portion of the name refers to the large inventory of interesting sodas and smattering of alcoholic beverages on hand, which the wait staff will describe if you have a taste for a unique drink. after choosing a soda each, my consort selected the spicyburgerand i opted for the house burger, both 1/4 lb and with fries on the side. fizz offers a multitude of sauces for french fry dipping, so, naturally, we decided to sample them all. a few on there menu managed to avoid making it to our table, but garlic aoili, roasted garlic, spicy ketchup, ketchup, ranch, and zesty mustard made an appearance. roasted garlic was by far the best, a black peppery mayo with garlic enough to make its presence known but not overcome the palate. the garlic aoli was an odd texture, a bit gummy and tart; more than a hint of lemon had apparently made it into the recipe. zesty mustard was good, a sort of blend between the sweetness and back end bite of honey and dijon mustards. spicy ketchup was also good, giving standard ketchup a little extra kick. the others were typical bottled fare. as it turned out, the variety of sauces was quite a blessing; the fries were rather bland, dry, and starchy. the main attraction, unlike the helping of fried spuds, was robust and flavorful upon arrival. and by main attraction, i do not mean the burger. both were fair; the patty formed loosely to retain a soft texture and cooked just slightly past the requested medium, but still moist, though not particularly well seasoned. the undistinguished beef allowed the toppings to steal the limelight. my houseburgercame armed with the roasted garlic sauce taste-tested previously on fries, and also the standout garlic dill pickles, perhaps the best part of the meal. the mayo got a bit lost as it was lightly applied, but the crisp, definitive flavors of dill, vinegar, and garlic were enough to bring the entireburgerup a notch. spicy burger, with its smoked pepper mayo and monterey jack cheese, outdid the house. though by no means spicy (try the 'extra hot' version if you go), the cheese and roasted pepper flavor from the mayonnaise give the mouth a nice tingle and lend themselves well to the accompanying tomato and red onion. overall, there are some considerable bumps in both service and food to smooth out, but if fizz directs the same attention to detail toward those areas as they do their trimmings they have the potential to roll from hum-ho to out of the ordinary.

should be 2 dollar signs ($$). very good and worth a stop but be prepared to spend 25 bucks for two people. also be aware that "spicy burger" ordered as "extra hot" is almost too hot to eat (but still very flavorful, recommended if you like hot stuff).

a little disappointed on large fry at $8.25 since 5 guys is the same size at $5; however a small fry w/ 1/2 poundburgerfor under $10 isn't too bad but i like lots of frys.

very good dipping sauces and was surprised that we weren't charged additional for those.

great burger. there are two foods in this world that i consider myself as being an unquestioned afficianado; burgers and dogs....and well, i guess pizza also. as far as burgers go, this is a very good representation of what one should be.

the place is in a strip center on north rock road and unlike some of the best burgers i have ever had, this isn't in a run-down, walk-up window order shack. the exterior is inviting, as far as strip malls go, and that is carried over to the inside where the decor is understated with black and white pictures of soda bottles and soda related items hung in black frames and black and white matting. i appreciate that it isn't an assault on the senses with old bicycles, canoes, and sports equipment hanging from every possible empty space. it clearly conveys what they are about. kudos also for having a kitchen that is open and visible. it shows that they are proud of what they do and how they do it not to mention how cleanly they do it.

the wait staff were cheery and accomodating and did a great job of taking care of us without seeming intrusive.

a plus for me is that you can order yourburgerplain or you can get as much on it as you desire, including items not normally found at otherburgerjoints.
i had the boursinburgerand added bacon. i saw on the menu that you could also get cambazola. who else has that? my wife had the spicy burger, we were both much impressed with the flavor combinations of these specialty burgers, but also the juicy beef done just right. i had the regular fries and my wife had the sweet potato fries with all of the dipping sauces. now i like sweet potato fries, but the large amount that you get caused her to get tired of them and start stealing my fries. of the dipping sauces, the only one i would for sure order again was the spicy ketchup. the roasted garlic aioli was good, but it was only a maybe on an eventual reorder. the pecan sauce with the sweet potato fries was good, but not something that i would order with aburgervery often.

all in all, we loved the place. our 10 year old son is aburgernut and we plan on taking him to fizz because we know he will love it. my only complaint is the price. it is a bit pricy, but when it now costs $7 a person to eat at mcdonalds. then fizz's quality seems like a relative bargain. like another reviewer said, i wish the fries came with theburgerand not another $2+ more. but, like i said, we will be going back and i know we will enjoy it again. next time i won't get too full to try the cake balls.

very impressed. the venue is very casual and comfortable. the food was great. my wife had the spicyburgerwith sweet potato fries. i had the baconburgerwith normal fries. the burgers were probably the best i have had in wichita. i have had better fries, but they were still very good. also, they have a great selection of beers and colas.

first timer at fizz. first timer at fizz. it was way beyond my expectations!
specifically the amazing cleanliness showed at every nook and cranny in the place, as well as outside. i always am a believer in cleanliness is next to godliness before i eat somewhere for the first time because it usually determines how good the food and service will be.

the quality of the food showed the same. i had a 1/2 lbburgerw mushrooms, fries, and a blue reading root beer soda. it is too bad that i never heard of it before now because it is now the bestburgerin wichita in my opinion, which is quite a compliment. i have lived in ict for quite some time and it was very refreshing to have cleanliness, great food, and great service at reasonable prices.

one of the best. i've been here several times, and they never fail to impress. the fact that they have some unique bottled root beers is really cool, and being able to build your ownburgeris nice as well. i'm not personally a huge fan of their fries, but that's only because i prefer my fries a little less thick. everyone else i've taken here seems to love them. the burgers are always great, and they always cook them exactly as ordered.

if you're trying to find the bestburgerjoint in wichita, you need to give fizz a try.

gourmet burgers. there are plenty of places to get a goodburgerin wichita, but this one may be the best. lots of differentburgeroptions, or you can pretty much build your own. all are available as either 1/4 lb or 1/2 lb. burgers. fries are from scratch and they have several great dipping sauces that you can get to dip them in (i love the spicy ketchup). they call it "fizz" because you can choose from a huge selection of bottled sodas to drink with your meal. they've literally got like 8 different kinds of root beer, a half a dozen grape sodas, etc. fun place to eat.
