Zippys supports UNI football

[luvdempanthers]

So I checked out zippys and it was pretty dang good...
They have a special for five bucks every day that includes a meat, side and drink.
they said football players like it and get pretty full. The man in the window that I talked to said he was over at the dome one day with his little boy and Coach Farley spent half an hour talking to his son about Panther football and stats and stuff. He said his son was thrilled and is a huge panther fan even more so now...
Just thought I'd give the place a plug since they obviously love panther football....

For us out-of-towners, what kind of food do they serve, where is it, and how long has it been open?

Zippy's is quite good and gives you great bang for the buck. All of their sandwiches and ribs are yummy.

i am from out of town too but i think I found it on main street.
It is a tiny building and you can only get carry out.
It looks like a tiny shack with smoke billowing out from the side where they grill.
You have to go - it is so unique.
Why not support a local guy instead of a chain???
they say the ribs are the best thing... I ate a bacon cheeseburger. I think they have potato wedges too and very limited hours of service...

hey we went to hansons dairy too and man you get to milk a cow and make butter and it is family owned and the four grown sons all follow UNI football
It is only five bucks for the tour but wear crappy clothes and shoes and feed a calf too.

Zippy's is great food for a great price. I have eaten there twice. On 3 other occasions I have tried to eat thier and...
1.The sign said open from 11-2 & 5-9 and it was noon, the guy at the window told me they weren't open for lunch any longer.
2. My wife and I went and it said open, this time nobody was there.
3. We went and they were out of nearly everything.

Zippy's has great food, but very poor customer relations.

Better than the other way around, I guess.

and their milk doesn't stick to the top of your mouth since they do not homogenize it like all other milk companies do unfortunately
