Few things in life are better than a tasty milkshake and a great Certified Angus burger. Zinburger perfects both every day. Our hand-cut zucchini sweet potato and truffle fries will encourage a selfish need to order all three. What’s our secret? The restaurant itself... filled with a bright and youthful energy it makes you feel just like a kid again. It’s awfully hard not to enjoy yourself when surrounded by fields of green grass light polished wood and a cross-section of the happiest people on the block. Our lineup of modestly priced and perfectly paired wine selections complements every style of burger on the menu correctly putting the Zin in Zinburger.
