CARDIGAN DINES OUT: ZINBURGER WINE AND BURGER BAR

Zinburger probably isn’t the first place I would think of when dining in the Buckhead area. But, when an invitation is extended to dine on lots of burgers, milkshakes, and pies, well, I can’t turn that down! I’m always a bit skeptical of chains but I was pleasantly surprised with Zinburger. We started with a refreshing sangria, cheekily called the “Zingria,” and before we knew it we were being showered with appetizers and burgers. 

Let’s discuss the highlights, shall we?

Appetizers:

My favorite appetizers were the zucchini fries and onion rings. The onion rings could’ve been a little smaller- they fell apart really easily- but, I’m not sure I’ve ever met an onion ring I didn’t like. The zucchini fries were truly enjoyable, lightly battered, and not too greasy. 

Burgers:

The stars of the show at a place called Zinburger, right? My favorites were the Zinburger (zinfandel braised onions and manchego cheese), the Blanco Burger (pepper jack cheese and guacamole), and the tuna sandwich (not a burger, but delicious).

All of the burgers were tasty- juicy and medium-rare. I appreciated that the meat was locally sourced and the patties were handmade, and not overworked. The buns were a real treat- they’re potato rolls from local Atlanta bakery, “Best Bread Baking Company” and they quite possibly may be the best potato rolls I’ve had.

I think I liked the tuna sandwich the most! It was fresh and rare (which I love). It was light and topped with a cool, crunchy coleslaw which kept the texture interesting.
