On the square since 1926, Zip’s hand-patties wonderful cheeseburgers and makes chili that is not typical Cincinnati-style, but rather a bowl of meat and beans in a vivid tomato emulsion, served with sour cream and shredded cheese.

What to Eat
Zip’s Cafe, Zip Burger
Zip Burger
The original Zip Burger, made the same way as it was in 1926, is like none other. It is a simple recipe: no special sauce, just a regular cheeseburger with the traditional toppings. What makes it special is the fresh meat and loving preparation.
Zip’s Cafe, Chili
Chili
The chili at Zip's is just great! Available in take-home buckets as well, the chili has a strong tomato base and a slight sweetness. (Though Zip's is in Cincinnati, their chili is NOT Cincinnati-style chili.)
