When I was home for the July 4th weekend, my mom and sis and I spent a rainy Friday in downtown Ft. Worth. Consider it training for our pending trip to Philly. Anyway, we stopped at this fun little burger joint for lunch. It was everything it promised…corner store, hole-in-the-wall, family operated (complete with a deaf grandpa who I was nice and smiled at and made a new friend with…it tested all my communication skills..I caught myself talking louder, like he was going to hear me),50’s-diner-in-the-middle of the city kind of GOODNESS.

Zippy’s is the place to be. The music was great. The service fast and friendly. And, you know it’s a good place when locals and business women in suits fill the booths. We picked the ranch style bar tables in the center of the room. Perfection.

yes, cheeseburger with pepperjack cheese and crinkle fries
my sis got a Southwest Grilled Chicken sandwich that was basically a fajita on a wheat bun…it was so good and those lovely golden brown disks you see are fried pickles.  So good.
It did not disappoint.  I completely, wholeheartedly, undeniably recommend this place!!!! 
And looking at these pics makes me crave it already.  So, if you find yourself wandering around downtown Ft. Worth, you are fool if you pass this one up!
