Whether it’s the toy train circling above the boisterous dining room or the signature Zip’s Burger that has drawn customers since 1926, Zip’s Cafe has long enjoyed its status as a Cincinnati institution. A small, white building with a chimney, an inviting green awning and overhanging flower baskets, Zip's boasts dark wood on its interior walls, tables, bar and chairs. Besides the Zip's Burger, other menu favorites include the Girth Burger, with a split grilled Mettwurst sausage on a toasted bun, a meatless black bean burger, a grilled cheese, a salmon burger and a tuna salad sandwich. Sides include macaroni and cheese, onion rings and fries. Desserts change daily.
"There's
usually a line out the door at this cramped café, where office workers
elbow up to college kids and moms with little ones at shared tables."
