Zombie Burger

Zombie Burger is a quick-service burger restaurant with a zombie theme, known for inventive flavor combinations and its own three-cut beef burger blend. The menu also includes crunchy fried chicken, artisan buns and hand-mixed shakes, including spiked milk shakes served in the full-service drink lab.

The quick-service counter takes orders for a bite on the go, while the drink lab seats diners for meals and cocktails and uses a texting waitlist when there is a wait. Groups of 20 to 40 can be accommodated in a semi-private area next to the counter, with a $350 minimum that may apply. Street parking is metered, with city garages a block away. Kids are welcome, with a kids menu, high chairs and Tuesday kids-eat-free deals for dine-in. The restaurant is in Des Moines' East Village.
