Always usually great, except today my brother ordered the nachos and it tasted like they used canned chili but we were there last week and he had the same thing and it was real beef. Maybe they ran out of real beef and used the can chilli? Like I said we love Zupko's and will continue to enjoy the great food and wonderful employees.

Fun place! Great prices! They also do beer pong every Friday night if you’re in the area and looking for something to do!

My go to place for wings. They are crispy every time. Not too saucey, not too dry. Pizza is phenomenal. Thin crust, good undercarriage. I’ve been coming here for years. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good food.

It's always a pleasure visiting Zupkos. Stop by on a Friday night. Friendly staff, great food, beer pong, and wish Shaggy a happy birthday. The Norty pie is their best pizza ever.

It's one of those places that is as much the neighborhood bar as it is the family restaurant and recreation center, full of kids parties. That's a more warm atmosphere than any other local bar. Monthly karaoke is getting better every week, the waitstaff and bartenders are more like family than employees, on the whole, and it's even a popular place to watch sports. You need to try the food to find the standout items, but there are many. Even their custom wing sauce flavor is good.
