Expect to sit with strangers at your table as they try to fill all slots in the restaurant. Â A friend and I had went to grab some lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Â We sat at a table and finally the waitress greeted us. Â We ordered. Â Waitress screwed up our orders and she made sure our drinks were empty. Â About 3/4 of the way done with our meal. Â Waitress tries to sit two more people at our table. Â She said since it was busy that they wanted to fill all tables. Â All of us looked at each other like "WTF...are we getting punkd?"
The two strangers said that they will come back later as they felt as awkward as us. Â
Overall: Â horrible service (as always)...and okay food.
I think that everything about Zipp's is pretty mediocre...except the wings. The wings are amazing especially the really hot ones. They do have some good happy hour specials every day which is nice but I don't think the food is anything outstanding. The fries and onions rings always taste a little soggy to me. This location has a good patio if it isn't too hot. It's a good place to watch games and they also do have strong Zipparitas if you're trying to get after it. I'm never AGAINST going to Zipp's but it also isn't ever the first place I think of.
Review Source:This Zipps is my favorite one. Â The location is close to home and I love I can ride my bike for a Zipparita ! Â I stick with your standard hot wings and a strawberry Zipparita. Â Honestly, I think I've had something different....once. Â I just prefer to have what I like!
The location is clean and the patio is great! Â Bartenders are always friendly and fast, fast is always good when it comes to alcohol. :) Â Shuffleboard isn't always open, but the upside is...they have pool and the touch screen game thingy (that's my favorite).
If you don't want the unce unce, but what to be in Old Town this is not a bad place to be. Â Also, if you want to change up the scenery Clancy's is next door which is also a great spot !
We had a great time at Zipps this week. Â We have been to many of the locations, but for this particular location, the two female bartenders that were working were outstanding. Â They were efficient, polite, personable, and very on top of it! Â Our food was good and the drinks were great. Â It was a good atmosphere and we'll be back!
Review Source:I love Zipps for what it is - a sports bar with awesome food and drink specials - but I just can't justify giving them more than 3 stars.
I've been to Zipps dozens of times at a variety of locations around the valley, with the Camelback location being closest to my house currently. I like all the TVs and the large smoking patio (weeee!) and the CHEAP drinks. But they sometimes enforce weird drinking rules, i.e. only 3 of their frozen Zipparitas, or 3 big beers. If you're eating and hanging out for a few hours watching a game or playing shuffleboard three drinks isn't that much.
Also service is super spotty. Sometimes they're nice and enthusiastic, other times they disappear for seemingly hours on end and act inconvenienced when you ask for things like water or extra ranch?
Golden medium wings is where it's at. Trust me, try them. (Their hot wing sauce is HOT, by the way). The Fresca focaccia is my other favorite - chicken, salsa, sweet jalapeño sauce and pepper jack rolled up in a long narrow wrap. Yum. Both of these items can be ordered for $6 if you catch them on the right night, as Zipps has varying food and drink specials nightly.
My friend and I wanted to watch a college football game and figured that Zipp's was as good a place as any to watch it. Â Arriving around noon, we found several televisions that we were able to change to our game. Â We also learned that there was a special happy hour available even on Sundays where we were able to order a full 18 inch pizza for only $10. Â In fact, there is a great menu with both happy hour and reverse happy hour deals for drinks and food. Â
Though the pizza was a great deal, the pizza was not the best. Â The service, on the other hand, was very good. Â The waitress stopped by every few minutes to check on us. Â I probably won't order the pizza again, but I'll definitely come back another day to enjoy the sports atmosphere and perhaps order a specialty burger or wings. Â There are also several Zipp's around the city, which are in pretty convenient locations. Â I have had positive experiences at all of them.
I will write this for both the Camelback location and the one in Central Scottsdale. Â If you're looking for a fun happy hour party (both regular and late-night), do the Camelback location in Old Town. Â It's much more lively, there's a pool table, there's an awesome outdoor patio, there's a shuffleboard table, and the waitresses are awesome. Â If you want something more for watching Sports and relaxing a bit, the Central Scottsdale location is the one for you. Â Both are great. Â Great food, great drinks, great service.
Review Source:For some reason I hadn't gone to this location yet, even though I am a big fan of sports, bar food, and drinks. I went this last Sunday with my roommate to watch some football. It was packed, but we were still able to get a table and our server was very friendly and accommodating even though you could tell she was busy. They have some of the best drink and food specials around and I love their patio area. I was only able to stay for a little over an hour, but I got their chicken fingers with fries. Although, they were only about average, I was still happy and will definitely be back in the near future.
Review Source:This review is only for the bar and cocktails. The ladies behind the bar were friendly and attentive and also mentioned the happy hour specials of the morning. Who doesn't love a good Bloody Mary cheap? We most certainly do. There's also a cool outdoor area with plenty of tv's to watch and chill. We have hung out here before during Spring Training and it is always a hot spot....
Review Source:get the zipps wings, golden-medium hot. it's sweet, spicy, and comes out hot. that's all you really need to know.
okay, it's also a cool place to grab drinks with friends. their zipperitas are strong as balls. there's tvs everywhere and it gets packed for every game.
but really, get the zipps wings, golden-medium hot. I just moved to LA and I really, truly, deeply, miss zipps wings.
So my friend told me this was the best sports bar in Scottsdale and I had to check it out so I figured I would go on Sunday to check out the games when I first arrive they have all the games playing on different TVs and they seat you based on what team you want to watch. The downside to this is if you are coming with a group only half of your table can watch one game and the other side of the table is watching another game which was annoying.
As for the food I was told there wings were amazing and hot so I ordered some hot wings only to find out they smell hotter than what they really are they were also pretty standard nothing amazing. I also ordered a green chile cheeseburger which was really good it was a pepper jack cheese burger with green chile from NM which made me feel at home. They also make homemade fries and onion rings which was a plus.
Overall there are better sports bars around, food is ok and nothing special would I go back? Maybe...
I've been to this Zipps 3 times. First time was fun. Second time I ordered the wings and I ended up with food poisening, and the last time I went they overcharged my bill and forced me to deal with the asshole GM...
The food is great at Zipps and Goldies, but NOT at this location.
And the Management are idiots and condisending assholes. I don't recommend this location AT ALL!!!
I have been here a few times and figured it's time to write a review. This place, overall is an all right spot. They have happy hour specials practically all night, every night. The only time they seem to lack happy hour is from 7pm to 8pm lol. And I know that they have weekend specials for those weekend ball games and whatnot. It's awesome. The food is pretty yum too. The only reason I didn't give the place four stars is due to my experience tonight.
Zipps is a sports bar. And it's football (pre)season. They should have at least one TV dedicated to the home team, but they. I get that they couldn't get the ASU game due to the whole TV dispute, but to not have the Cards - Bronco game is ridiculous considering it's on ABC. And when they finally did have it on, it was a bit difficult to have someone change the channel on the right TV. I get that it was busy, but that shouldn't be an excuse to not listen to your customers. If anything, they should make a conscious effort to hear their customers and make sure they're happy.
Anyways, I'm sure i'll go back some time, but I'll probably have to call ahead and make sure they have the games I want on.
The first time I went to Zipp's I was promised the best chicken wings on the planet. Â I was disappointed only by my inability to eat them all! Â I can't do super-spicy, but the mild flavor is just right for me. Â I haven't actually bothered to try anything else there. Â
As far as atmosphere, Zipp's is your usual sports bar. Â I'm a fan of sports bars more than I am of sports, because I like to sit with a drink, some sort of food, and be able to talk to my friends without shouting. Â That said, during a major sporting event, one would still need to shout to be heard properly. Â
I'm sure I'll go back!
Very rarely will I write a review, but tonight's experience at Zipp's leaves me no choice.
Our waitress, Lacey P, had an attitude from the moment we arrived. I'm not sure what was bugging her, but it was certainly nothing that our party of three did.
Midway through our meal, as she was clearing plates off the table, she accidentally dropped a carrot slice from somebody's salad into my beer. That's no big deal. Staff has accidents all the time. The issue just begins here though. Lacey P didn't apologize or acknowledge me. She simply took my half finished beer, and after five minutes, returned with a new beer in a smaller cup. She explained that I received the smaller cup because the beer she had ruined was not a full beer.
I'm not going to fight with a waitress, however if you make a mistake, you need to correct it properly. A simple apology would have been fine and no new beer would have been necessary.
The night was fine again until it was time for Lacey P to remove the rest of our plates. At which time, she flung a knife across the table, assuming it would land in our wing basket. However, said knife did not land in said wing basket. It landed about 4 inches from my leg.
I find this behavior dangerous above all. I can't, in good conscience return to Zipp's ever again. I can get over poor service, but I absolutely can't get over such blatant disregard for safety.
Lacey P, if you're having a bad day, don't come into work. It's that simple. No need to endanger Zipp's customers.
What a terrible, terrible experience.
Ok so i had a salad. Â Not the best but why would order a salad when their burgers with jalapeno sauce are so darn good. Â Well all I had been doing while on a little trip there was eat. Â i was just not hungry. Â
We actually met about 18 of my sons' friends for dinner there. Â So the company was already great. Â Our server was excellent and all in all it made for one happy night.
I know I will go back next time I am in town. Â I promise to have a burger and fries. Â I wish it was here in my town because right about now a burger sounds pretty darn yummy. Â
Till the next time.
Zipps is THE place i recommend for anyone looking to drink some alcohol, munch some tasty wings and watch a good game. Wings arent the only tasty item of course...there's burgers, focaccias, sammies, greenbay chili (good one!), and desserts! Play some pool too, or at least get in line if its a busy night.
For the record, its honey medium wings for me every time...the drink varies.
Zippity Do Da Zippity....
That Disney song from such a long time ago comes to my head whenever I go to Zipps or hear the name. Â Just like how the song has a melodic chill feeling, Zipps is a chill and cool place to hang out to watch a game, eat some food, and drink a beer. Â For bar type of food, the quality of the food is actually quite good. Â I have had their chicken sandwich, turkey sandwich, and chicken salad. Â They have a great variety of beer and other liquor to keep you satisfied more than a nights worth.
I was here for Happy Hour a couple weeks ago and I realized that I have never written a review even though I have been here many times. Since I know my adoring fans are anxiously waiting to hear my thoughts on this place, I am happy to oblige.
Zipp's is not a bad option for a work lunch since they have a pretty large menu and can accommodate big parties. The food is mostly bar food with burgers, pizza, fried apps, and wings as their specialties, none of which are my top choice for lunch. But they do have the option of what they refer to as focaccias; they are sort of a cross between a wrap and a panini. Â Those are pretty tasty but unfortunately they all come with mayo or some other kind of creamy sauce (yuck!) and so I have to order it without and hope the kitchen gets it right. My go-to item is actually the honey balsamic salad. It is really filling because of all the stuff that's in it and the dressing is really good and goes well with the goat cheese. Overall its not the best food in the area (hey, its Scottsdale after all) but its a safe bet since there is something for everyone and the prices are reasonable.
Zipps is also a great place for happy hour. They have a large patio that is just fantastic because of the wood and comfy seating. You kind of get the feeling you are hanging out on a friend's deck. It can get a little crowded at times, especially on Fridays. And I wish there were more shade. But when the weather is nice you can't beat sitting out in the sunshine with a cold beer watching the game (yes they have tvs outside). Even when the heat drives you inside to the a/c, this place is still worth a visit because of the $3 pints. That's a pretty good deal. They also have $4 for the large 32 oz but that doesn't include the "premium" beers.
Overall, there is nothing that really makes Zipp's a "must try" place but it is a pretty decent option to go and grab a beer after work.
Man. I'm torn about this place. Let's talk good stuff first: It's convenient, it's close to everything. I love their zipparitas in every flavor, they often have great deals on food and drinks. It's a great place for watching sporting games.
I mean it all sounds great, right? Everything you'd want in a sports bar. Well listen up, about 80% of the servers there are just straight twats. The customer service blows big ones. Idk why they've even got attitude, some of them aren't even cute. Check yourself girlfriend. I get it, you're busy. But we're your customers, get that bitchy look off your face. Enough with that rant, aside from their god awful customer service - some of their items are mediocre at best. They charge you for every side of ranch. Oh wait, you're not making enough money off all the drinks we have there, you need $.25 for the ranch too? It's a pet peeve of mine. Don't charge extra for condiments!
Sad thing is even tho I get so frustrated with this place, I'll still come here and tolerate their rude servers because sometimes you get lucky and there's a new server who isn't jaded like the rest of those B's. And those damn zipparitas. I love 'em. Sooner or later, I'll give up on this place for good.
Focaccias!!! Â I get the Monaco religiously and have them put some wing sauce in it + that jalapeno dipping sauce on the side = delicious! Â I don't live in AZ anymore but Zipps is a mandatory stop every time I'm back because of this single item.
Have the Monaco with a giant blue moon and some medium golden wings and you won't be disappointed even if the team you came to watch loses  :)
Could I give this place NO STARS???
My girlfriend and I head in and sit down with a group of friends already there. We smile and wave at the waitress to let her know more people joined and she purposely makes us wait at least 10 minutes.
I am not a fan already... but yes, it gets worse, people. She brings our drinks out after another table sits down and orders theirs. Our friends are catching on and order a round. Get them before ours. Gosh, does she discriminate against blondes?? I am wondering. Our food comes out cold and I asked for extra ranch for the wings. Didn't get it.
At this point I go up to the manager and ask if the gal is super busy tonight or if something is up in the kitchen. No, and no. I tell him what's going on and he tells me he'll come out in a moment.
Oh... that moment was priceless. He actually said we were rude to her and should be lucky she even continued to serve us. He must be screwing her so I am OUT OF THERE! My tip to folks. Sit at the bar if you must go. There are plenty of other spots out there that will treat you wayyyyyyyy better, have better service, food and prices.
When you make the assertion that a place has "The best F'ing veggie burgers on the PLANET" and throw your arms up in the air in exclamation, you better know why you are talking about.
Being that I have been a vegetarian for over 14 years now, I have had a LOT of veggie burgers and I hate to burst your bubble, Dally G, this is NOT the best F'ing veggie burger on the planet. It was tasty, I will give you that, but only because it was smothered with sweet jalapeno sauce, pepper-jack cheese and fresh jalapenos. I am not a fan of those garden patty's. Nor my soggy fries.
Both times I have been here it was pretty packed. The first time, on a Sunday, the service was horrible and the waitress was quite the snob. Fortunately last nights visit was quite a bit better, but I think that is because our waitress wanted to give me the business.
So... they have some good specials, I will give them that. The food is okay. The service leaves a little something to be desired. I couldn't figure out which bathroom I was supposed to use and the parking is pretty bad. but, they do have a cool patio with fire pits. Â
Because I am nice and the coffee is good this morning I am rounding up my 2.5 stars to a 3.
I can't even begin to say how many poor customer service experiences I have had here.
We used to do lunches a few times a week at my old job and Zipps seemed to be one of the regular spots, although I always made a fuss. Rather than being stuck in the office and miss out on the lunch gossip, I always opted to go, and EVERY time, it was the same old story...this place is never too busy during lunch, but service is slower than the second coming. It would take 1.5 - 2 hours for the small group of us to make it through lunch. Not to mention that after consuming my first beverage, the glass would remain empty, my number one dining pet peeve.
I do have to say that I can't completely hate on Zipps because their food really is good. They have awesome nachos and sandwhiches. I have never been disappointed with the quality of my food. And when I was having a calorie splurge day, Zipp's pizookie was the perfect way to do it!
Zipps gets a 2 star rating from me, but if they get their service act together, we can negotiate a better score...
I stopped in at Zipps after going to the dissapointing Wharehouse sale in Scottsdale this weekend. My experience here really rounded out the morning.
There was no place to sit except one tiny table in front of a big screen TV. I bellied up and tried to order fast. There was a crowd of jocks that thought screaming at oddly placed TV's would help their teams to win. I kept trying not to look their way, but I was sitting right in front of the TV so that was a bit difficult. The waitresses that couldn't hear me order so it took about 4 attempts. Once she did hear me she must have forgot I odered in the first place because 2 glasses of tea later I had to hunt her down to order again. Maybe she got brain damage from being around screaming goons all day.. Who knows. The atmosphere was bad, the service was bead... But still 3 stars because they have the BEST wings I've tastes in a long, long time. Next time though, I'll order them to go.
