Food: Bland, uninspiring edibles

The lack of creativity apparent in Zubie's cutback on ingredients pairs poorly with a startling absence of flavor. Coinciding with a similar blandness in the dish's quality, the food critiques paint a picture of uninspired and cheap-tasting fare. At least customers are not left wanting in the quantity department, with the restaurant's large portions garnering rare praise.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed experiences, with both enjoyment and disappointment in taste.

  • Not Creative

Vibe: Overcrowded, antiquated haunt

Zubie's ambiance leaves plenty to be desired with its cramped, outdated decor and excessively loud noise. The potential for a date night falls short with the overwhelming presence of children and the inability to hold a conversation over the din. On the upside, its lively atmosphere and well-priced, strong drinks hold some appeal.

  • Great Drinks

    Strong drinks, good prices, friendly bartenders, great for groups.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Cramped, loud atmosphere with outdated decor detracts from the dining experience.

Perks: Lackluster service, ghastly parking

Parking troubles plague the shared lot with Goodwill and Ace Hardware. Combine this with uncomfortable outdoor seating and high noise levels, and a generally frustrating dining experience emerges. The neglectful staff and slow service don't help matters, contrasting sharply with the aforementioned positive elements such as good accommodation for large groups and extensive kid-friendly menus.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups with great ease, space, and enjoyable atmosphere.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking suffers from shared lot with Goodwill and Ace Hardware.
