Fantastic Experience Every Time at Zig Zag Smokin’ Burger! I usually stop by Zig Zag Smokin’ Burger when I’m in the mood for something a little different, and it never disappoints. This time, I tried the chef’s special fillet—absolutely outstanding. It was easily one of the most tender fillets I’ve ever had—melt-in-your-mouth texture with amazing flavor. The risotto was just as impressive—creamy, perfectly cooked, and full of rich taste. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying meal. Can’t wait to go back!

Our party had a hankerin for burgers and in so glad I found this little gem. Had such a great time at Zig Zag, it server Grant had big party in that so kudos to him, give that guy a bonus! Of course they are know for their burgers, and friggin slay, so good! On top of that, they have an extensive drink menu, and if the rest is as good as their Zombie, then I have to try them all! Definitely headed back, gotta try those meatballs.

Our second visit. Both outstanding. Would have taken pix of the main entrees (I'll add them from our next visit) but alas, we were hungry, and they were as good as the first visit. A minor "ordered with no onions but arrived with onions" glitch was fixed promptly. Image is of their Tomato Soup. Absolutely delicious. So is dessert... which we took home to enjoy due to ... well, due to eating to much but knowing how good the Sticky Ginger Cake is from our first visit. Our server was excellent - he even knowingly included reheating instructions for the dessert. It was almost like we weren't the first people who over-indulged and didn't leave room for dessert. :-)

Ohh what a treat it was to walk into this “hidden gem”, and “best kept secret”. Me and my husband was driving from Denver airport to Colorado Springs and hadn’t eaten since early morning because of flight schedule from Texas. This place was beyond amazing. Our waiter was Wylson and he was phenomenal. Wylson was cheerful, accommodating, explained menu’s including some of his favorites when asked, and introduced me to a new drink: zig zag zombie….ok so word to the wise this drink is not for the “faint of heart”. I took a video of this amazing drink but did not get approval to share so you will just have to go in and try it for yourself. One of the restaurant cook and server was Brook, and he was so very friendly. I think I will let the pics and short video of the food and drink speak for itself. I also loved loved the ambiance of the hotel. I even mentioned it would be a great place for some live jazz to be played. I love that this is like two restaurants in one, but you can sit on either side and have access to both menus. Oh yeah and the bathrooms were immaculate. This is a huge pet peeve for me, because if I walk into an establishment and their bathrooms are nasty I will walk right back out, because if this is any indication of how they keep their kitchen, I am better off leaving. Thank you, Zig Zag and staff, for making our time spent there memorable. Whenever we are in that part of CO again, we will definitely be return patrons.

Dude everything we took a bite of here. We all ordered something different all across the menu. They don't miss it looks like it's closed. They need to fix that but I didn't take any stars for that. If you guys are in the tech center, Denver area servers were great

Love the meatball sampler and cocktails at ZigZags! Just an FYI they updated their happy hour so it’s now $2 off apps instead of 1/2 off apps. Can’t go wrong with any of their drinks but I love their whiskey sour as they use fresh egg whites. The atmosphere is a mix of old school classy 20s vibes with modern fun. One of the owners stopped and chatted with us at our table and she was very nice. Overall always a good time and how can you go wrong with meatballs and cocktails!

Food was amazing. A burger with blue cheese and bacon always calls to me and this was one of the best I've had. The burger was cooked perfectly and the flavors were wonderful. Everything else we had was delicious too. The service - simply the best. Our waiter, Abe, had us laughing and brought the perfect vibe to a great meal. He was legitimately one of my favorite servers of all time. The decor and atmosphere is on point too.
