zinburger

unimaginatively unappealing. one of the oddest catalina foothills burger-perspectives i've foreseeably followed routinely with peers and total strangers out of a random recommendation i got from the local scene on 4th.
even though i do not have an utmost and sincere hatred for zinburger, i also will not be going back, to either of their two tucson locations, because, as you see, its interior (as well exterior) design just didn't speak to me, its listed menu options were a bit pricey for what they ultimately were offering, and, among others, waitresses in miniskirts only work if the food they bring to your table is a) incredibly good and b) if they're attentive to their customers. neither accurately describes the waitresses at zb, sadly, so the miniskirts' seemingly only real function is to get as many guys in there as humanly possible. its look is a mix of indie awkwardness, post-modernist and tex-mex architecture. they have paintings of cows sniffing glasses of wine on their doors. um, okay. i ordered an applewood smoked bacon salad only to be boringly surprised with how much applewood smokiness it truly lacked. theservicewas nothing to write home about, if anything it would be just below "average" or "decent", however i was more than a little ticked at our waitresses: after nearing fifteen minutes and no food, she had come out of the kitchen only to see our table, our inpatient eyes, and avoided us entirely for most of the night. i'm not kidding, she avoided our table -- we actually had to call someone else over just so we can ask them if they knew anything about our food. they of course had no idea but soon enough the manager came out and apologized for the wait; free dipping bread and sauce was given to our table for the long-ass wait. nice effort, but it didn't save the meal for me at all. i also tried a burger, nothing too fancy, just an ordinary burger (pitched as a "zinburger") and thought it didn't have very much, if any, flavor. any fries bought here have to be purchased separately from the burger which i did, nor will i ever, understand.

thanks, but no thanks.

the chicken sandwich is good; acoustics in the restaurant are horrible so we always eat outside (they have a great fireplace out back!);serviceis hit & miss.

kinda cool.. sort of a rock n roll atmosphere.serviceis quick. you can get a kobe burger here, which is so worth it compared to the burgers made from the stuff they scraped off the slaughterhouse floor at the fast food chains. lots of glasses of wine to choose from to pair with the fare. a cool lunch spot. the vibe kinda reminds me of the hard rock in vegas.

good stuff. black truffel fries were excelent. my burger was over cooked but was still good(i hate sending things back so i deal)and the 4 bits of mushrooms on the burger was quickly fixed by bringing the correct amont out by my server. the buns were fresh and different, but in a good way. crem brule milk shake was off the hook,servicewas friendly but par at best. the $75.00 tab (that included the tip) for 2 people made me cry.

tasty tucson gourmet burger!. tastiest gourmet burgers! every time i go to zin, my burger is cooked to perfection. i recommend the plain & simple burger or the kobe burger. each burger delight comes with it's own gourmet toppings but you can add custom toppings to fit your tastes. they also have an excellent chicken sandwich and turkey burger. there is something for everyone here - even a delicious veggie burger that melts in your mouth! the food is never greasy but very juicy and satisfying. appetizers like the sweet potato fries and zucchini fries are excellent. the milk shakes are heavenly--for chocolate lovers the bars of zin shake is my favorite - there is a date & honey milkshake which i noticed recently was taken of the menu; however, we asked for it and they were able to make it for us right away! theserviceis fast and friendly. the atmosphere is upbeat - a great place to go with friends for happy hour and great for families. good wine and beer and mixed drink selections, outdoor seating is available. great prices, trendy and the best burger joint in tucson!

mixed bag. theserviceat zinburger is fantastic, friendly, attentive... the food is very good and definately worth going there for... but the atmosphere.... it's a feng shui nightmare!! mirrors everywhere, totally uncomfortable seating arrangement and the biggest turn off for me?... the huge mural of cows in green pastures on the wall... it's like "hi, here's the cow your going to eat"... not good. also, the use of pergo flooring on the ceiling... yikes! so, go for the food and service, but be prepared to not be able to talk to whoever you go with, because the acoustics are deafening... better yet... get take out!
