Where to begin? Get the Zombie Bride Wedding Cake shake with the booze, of course. Then get the They're Coming To Get You Barbara Burger . Fuck this place is amazing! Best place for a burger in DSM!
They call it Zombie Burger because you'll die from gluttony. Try a cereal shake and insane burger like the Elvis (pb/banana/bacon), Barbara (grilled cheese buns ), or Walking Ched (fried mac & cheese ).
No matter what time you get here it will be crowded and you'll have to wait in some way. Come hungry, come patient. People come here and get so mad they aren't instantly seated or served.
Great local burger place with a slightly creepy theme! Seriously good burgers and fries but you might need a Lipitor to survive the experience! Very popular and sometimes hard to get a table
Be prepared for a wait! This place gets super busy, but that's because it's so good. Eccentric burger options and delicious shakes, plus awesome beers available on tap .
Great choices of unusual burgers with Zombie theme, variety of unusual milkshakes , some with cake in them, selection of appetizers like fantastic jalapeno poppers with a raspberry dipping sauce !
Called the “Camp Crystal Lake Burger ,” this ~casual~ dinner contains smoked beans, BBQ-spiced potato chips , onion dip , cheddar cheese , and, of course, the patty itself. Read more
The Undead Elvis is amazing with peanut butter and fried bananas . And save room for a Zombie Unicorn Shake with fruity pebbles and ice cream .
The planet Terror burger double tap was really good with the caramelized onions and bbq sauce without the American cheese and ranch sauce and the salted sweet potato fries .
Zombies feast on more than just brains. Limp on over to this unconventional eatery , where you can sample a long list of gourmet burgers and visit the drink lab. Just watch your head.
Best non-healthy #vegetarian nom in #DSM! 8K meat-free cals? No prob. Try the Juan of the Dead burger with veggie patty , fried pickles and the Zombie Unicorn milkshake .
I got the Undead Elvis burger . Although it was expensive , I would pay for the child-created burger again. Who'd have thought to pair peanut butter , bacon and a fried egg on a burger ? I guess Zombies!
First visit and I started off with the Goat Cheese Jalepano poppers which are fantastic! I then ate the Raygun Burger which had a great balance of flavors. My meal & service was awesome. A must try
Always check out the #ZBoftheweek. Add a basket of cheese fries to share with the table and a milkshake for desserts and you've got a pretty good meal!
For anyone looking for something sweet but a little stronger than espresso , Zombie Burger and Drink Lab makes a spiked pumpkin pie milkshake . Read more
Order the grilled portabello in lieu of meat- the veg burger was a letdown. Also, their house salad is delicious- including edamame , grilled corn and red wine vin- perfect for lunch .
The walking ched was awesome! Will come back again next time in town . Friendly and fast service and the beer was good too. Defiantly worth the wait.
The hype is legit! It's worth the wait to be seated instead of take out ! Make sure you get a burger , fries , and a shake! It's not the same without all three!
If I'm ever sentenced to Death Row, I now know what my last meal will be: buffalo bacon , Undead Elvis , and the spiked Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk shake .
Order the grilled portabello in lieu of meat- the veg burger was a letdown. Also, their side salad is delicious- including edamame , grilled corn and red wine vin- perfect for lunch .
Great little theme joint. Great place to bring out of towners for fun and great food. Love the varieties of burgers . You can not find a better burger in Iowa.
Fried pickles , Fulci burger . Both delicious. Great atmosphere, fun menu, extensive bar . Prepare for a wait, but it's worth it.
Get a spiked shake. A little pricey , but very delicious! Also, plan on waiting a long time if you want to sit down with a big group...so very busy all the time!
It's a fun, friendly restaurant and they really stick to their theme! It's a great place to just hang out and eat with both friends and family!
Try the Fulci burger , Soo greasy and tasty you will feel like the undead tearing the burger apart and watching its contents spill out all over your plate!
Awesome menu. Friendly staff . Service slow during rush but give them a break, still new and its crazy busy. Cant beat the theme, atmosphere. Ill be back, over and over. PS try the Walking Ched .
I highly recommend the Dead Elvis burger and banana peanut butter shake . Bring a wheelbarrow so your friends can get you back to your car.
Huge burger list: try one of the shakes too. Or a local brewed beer of course.
Got the raygun burger , shake of the week peanut butter & oreo shake , and split the poutine fries . Everything was delicious!!
Take a step out of your comfort zone and try something that sounds "interesting." You'll come to find out that peanut butter & banana on a burger is OUTSTANDING!
Good beer selection and well thought out burgers . Service is very attentive and the host will text you when a table is available.
Walking Ched burger is so good! Easier to eat with a fork and knife
Try the beer flight . Cheaper than two beers and you get to experience a decent variety.
Greasy and delicious. Great fried brussels sprouts , with good dips . Variety of beer & other drinks. Good prices.
My go-to choice at Zombie Burger is the #5 "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara." The buns are GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES, folks.
I had the undead elvis....sounds kinda gross but the flavors together were pretty awesome! So many menu choices and the service was rock star!
Cool place. You can definitely split the fry between two people. The 'Walking Ched ' was very...cheesy...
Worth the long wait to be seated. Fast service , helpful with everything, staff were courteous with kids, and the food was amazing.
Adult shakes. Zombie murals . Chain link ceiling decor and more classic and cult zombie references than you can. Shake a chainsaw at. Tip. Always double tap... Twinkies are sacred. Cardio is key.
Food is awesome (best burger is DSM). Servers are what you expect from a quick-serve restaurant . Shakes are not just for kids. Don't come with mile-high expectations and you won't be disappointed.
If you get anything more than a single burger and want fries , have someone to split them with! So much (delicious) food!
The boomstick is good but The fried pickles are GREAT. Will try this joint again next time through DSM. want to try an adult shake
Good burgers and prices. I recommend the trailer trash. The fries can be hit or miss, but tasty overall.
Try the The Walking Ched - Sun-dappled double burger with deep-fried Mac & cheese bun , bacon , caramelized onion , raw onion & lettuce. It won.
Zombie Poutine is lacking, as was Sarah’s Revenge. Otherwise really enjoyed the shakes and "They're Coming to get you Barbara" is tasty!
Veggie patty or mushroom burger both delicious bases for line up of sandwich options. Juan of the Dead with veggie burger is my fave.
The walking ched is great! Split it with a friend though! It's a lot. The fried brussel sprouts are good but salty (there was a pool of oil at the bottom). The red velvet cake shake was a let down.
The pork tenderloin is huge but delicious! The spiked milk shakes are definitely a great dessert !
"They're Coming to Get You Barbra" burger was AMAZING! The Bleu Cheese Bacon Fries were okay, it's a TON of food! We shared a half order of fries and couldn't finish them.
The real secret might be the shakes. Sweet potato fries are also delicious
Best workout view in town! - Samuel Burt
Great view of downtown at night and grill for anyone to use! - Samuel Burt
Always fast. Always delicious. Big City Burgers is the place to go for a good burger at lunch. And don't miss the big city fries. - Rachel Weeks
EVERYTHING is good here. My fav: taco tater! Hot Beef Sundae looks delish too! - DeEtta Bohling
All my old favorite games and nice and grungy like my old fave arcade in the day. Also good selection of draft beers. - Miss KB
