Zip’s Drive In - Ponderay — Restaurant in Ponderay

Very disappointed with the services! Hours say you close at 8pm. I went through the drive through at 7:28pm and waited in line after ordering for 15+ min. The truck in front of me received his order but waited an addition time..due to order not being correct so he had to wait for order to be made right. When I arrived at the window the service was not there nor was I greeted friendly AT ALL! I was treated as if I was inconveniencing them placing an order during business hours! You could clearly tell they were more worried about closing than taking care of customers let alone make sure the orders were correct! I paid for large fries and drinks when I ordered and they said they would have a total for me at the window...never told me the price just if I wanted a reciept. When I got my drinks they were not a large both small...also received one bag thinking it was all there and started to drive off I stopped to check the order and realized I only received 1/2 my order...I had to reverse to the window And get the rest of my order...I then told the kid I had ordered and paid for large drinks and fries And did not receive that. He didn't say anything but "oh"...and just stared. Not even trying to make things right...I'm sad to say this will probably be our last time eating here as this wasn't the first time this has happened...having worked in fast food my self when I was younger it's sad to see how kids these days just don't take pride in working and trying to be good whatever...

The food wasn't too bad. I had the bacon double cheeseburger and onion rings. I requested ranch with the onion rings, and their ranch was quite good. Also dipped my burger in that a few times and it slapped. It seemed fairly standard as far as fast food goes. Tasty, but nothing that really knocked my socks off. My one complaint would have to be their tartar sauce. I tried some thinking it was another container of ranch. Now, as someone who can't stand tartar sauce, I will say that this had a much different flavor than what comes to mind when you think of the stuff, and to be quite honest, the flavor was good. The problem with it was, my good actual GOD, did they load that stuff with salt! Tasted like whoever prepared it may have added too much of the seasoning if it's a DIY sauce they make or something, or they were manually adding salt to it and the lid popped off and they shrugged and said it'll be fine. Though it had a good, savory flavor, the salt content was so through the roof that I couldn't have more than 2 or 3 bites of an onion ring dipped in it before I just dropped it back in the bag. Overall, though, It's not a bad little restaurant. It was my first time eating there the other day, and I found it to be more enjoyable...

I was very disappointed to see so many bad reviews. I absolutely enjoyed the entire experience. The waiting line is a little longer than I would have liked, but considering the shortage of workers right now, the weight wasn't terrible and my food was hot and freshly made.

Absolutely loved the cod fillets. They were cooked perfectly and very fresh. No sitting under the lights as I have experienced at other drive-thrus.

The Huckleberry Shake was fantastic and my granddaughter enjoyed every bit of it.

She raved on the fish sandwich and did not waste a single bite.

I am not a big fan of crinkle cut fries but the rest of the grandchildren seem to thoroughly enjoy polishing them off when we got home.

The lady was pleasant both on the speaker and at the window.

After living in a state where everyone wears masks only to lift them up and scratch their noses, eat food and talk so they can be heard and understood, I find it refreshing to actually see a face, a whole face with a smile attached to it.

As for me and mine we will be returning for another delicious...
