COOKING FOR BOBITOS 101

Nov 2, 2022

Cool resturant theme. Fried pickels were excellent. Big variety of different burgers and fries. Save room for the shakes. Overall the taste and quality of the food and service was very good. Will recommend and visit again.

Popped in for something to eat after a long day of flying and having no meals the whole day. This place hit the spot and then some! Went there on a quiet afternoon just days before Halloween so this place was very apropos. The burger was delicious and the loaded fries were a great side with it. I also got the count chocula shake and it was very rich, thick and chocolatey. Highly recommend!

Questions & Answers

Why can you not seat myself and elderly guest while waiting on our third party? High tops down the middle empty, barstools all empty, on a Wednesday afternoon at 1:00. That’s over 25 seats open and we couldn’t even order a drink. 🤨

Many restaurants won't seat you until all pf your party arrives. Yes some do, but typically only ones that rarely fill up. Any restaurant that regularly has wait times to br seated typically wont do this

I will be driving a small RV . Will there be room for me in the parking lot ?

Lori Bill | Nov 2, 2018
Impish Anderson | Nov 2, 2018

No, to my knowledge there are no parking lots. You have to park on the street at an angle and backwards - no forward parking. And make sure you have money for the meter. It might be best to park at a nearby garage and walk.

Do you have a gluten free menu

Kevin Gomez | Nov 2, 2019
Jennifer Anderson | Nov 2, 2019

The menu is available to view on their website. http://www.zombieburgershakelab.com/des-moines-downtown/ You could probably put together something that's gluten-free because they have a no-bun option that puts the burger on a bed of lettuce.

A group of 10 ladies are scheduled to tour the Iowa Hall of Pride on Saturday, July 28. A suggestion was made that we eat at Zombie Burger at 11:30 on that morning. Does the Farmer's Market make your location extremely busy on Saturday?

Shirley Bloodsworth | Nov 2, 2018
Ben Delgado | Nov 2, 2018

Yes, they are normally busy on Saturdays but they are well worth the wait. They do have a carryout counter service so you can order and eat outside if you'd like.
