Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar

So in 4 years of eating here I never had a problem till now, 7 months pregnant. My well done burger was clearly not on a gluten free bun which luckily I was able to recognize by sight, having eaten here so much. The server confirmed I was right and so explained, again, that I have actual celiac disease so it would need to be remade. 5 minutes later he brought out a burger on a GF bun and I said wow that was really fast for a well done burger was it remade entirely? And he said no, same burger just changed the bun out! Obviously that was the last straw for me and I ended up not eating. Zinburger has been wonderful overall but this is a reminder that if a server is busy and doesn’t actually understand when you advocate for yourself, it’s just not safe to eat out with celiac disease. Really really disappointed (and pregnant and hungry). Please remember to eat at your own risk and be your own advocate.

Wait staff is hit or miss. Not only was the service really bad, but my daughters gf order was done incorrectly and needed to be remade. Manager should have comped us something and didn’t. We waited an unacceptable amount of time to be served. My napkins was souled and our drinks and water didn’t come until we asked again. We will not be going back any time soon.

GF items clearly marked on the menu! GF buns are very good.

Love it here! They have gluten free buns and their burgers are very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Some of the staff one in particular drinks all the booze and is wasted every night to the point he can barely walk straight. I don't want a drunk handling my food. Period.

So happy they have GF buns now!

Amazing food, great service, and very understanding!

Glutened! What a way to start out 2017. I had no issue at the Paramus location but I knew within an hour that I had been exposed. They claim to use a dedicated fryer and serve Udi's buns so I don't know if it was cross contamination or a mistake in the order.

Good burgers but they need GF buns. They seem knowledgable and the service was good. Not sure if they use a dedicated fryer. Update 2016- they now have GF buns...

Zinburger for the win!!!!! They so "get" it. Hooray!!!!

Have a dedicated fryer for the fries now. Burgers were prepared on a dedicated section of grill, and executive chef personally prepared it for my celiac son, ensuring us that he would change gloves and used dedicated utensils. Used an udis bun for burger. He loved it and had no reactions.

Excellent gourmet burgers with Udis buns and a separate fryer for the hand cut and sweet potato fries. The burger was juicy and full of flavor.

GREAT place. Dedicated fryer and now has GF buns!!!

Celiac friendly?

Until they have a dedicated fryer there is no reason to eat there. You can get an expensive burger and fries at many other places. If they wanted our business they would accommodate.

Expensive

If you ask them about being GF, anything that they make can be GF. either modified or substituted. very friendly and knowledgeable.

Solid burger place with a dedicated fryer for French fries. The bun was soft and tasty and the burger excellently prepared. No ill effects, which is a win. Had the signature zinburger with a basket of regular fries. After a day of travel, I was not disappointed. Also has a great atmosphere and while I didn’t have anything to drink but Sprite tonight, it looks like the bar and wine list (plus happy hour specials from 3 to 6) are well appointed.

CELIACS BEWARE!

Staff is not consistently trained to handle GF food. Some people taking orders do not understand both the procedure for assuring the food is made GF or the importance of this. To most of the staff, mistakenly giving a regular bun is like forgetting to add bacon.
