There really was a guy named “Zip.” Robert “Zip” Zuber built his first Zip`s Drive-in with the motto “Thrift and Swift” in Kennewick Washington in 1953, wisely figuring to serve the workers, scientist…
The food was all wonderful, the burgers are juicy, the cheese is melty, the tater gems are crispy, the buns are soft. But, when I'm ordering a tub of tater gems, for $9.59, it'd be nice if the tub was more than half-full. I can't give 5 stars, cause I needed more tater gems.

The fish is so good. Only place I eat fish in the valley. The portions are perfect. The fish tastes fresh and not old freezer burned. Definitely will keep ordering.

French Fries were so salty as to be inedible, but they strangely gave us at least a pound of them (more than we ordered). Ended up in the trash because neither of us could eat them. Other food was okay.
