As I finished my meal Chantel came by to grab My wife's dirty dishes and asked if I wanted more hot water, since my cup was empty. I said, "yes please!" After she walked away my wife noticed that she grabbed my lemons and tea bag too. I told her "maybe she's bringing a new tea bag." When she returned to refill my cup and walked away, I thought perhaps she forgot my tea bag.
Wonderful place to grab a meal with friends and family. Good variety of food available for in restaurant eating as well as a take out window and an Awesome Bakery. Daily Specials available as well as Smaller portions. Well loved family favorite!
Final thoughts? Average overpriced food with a rude waitress named CHANTEL!! Stay away, we're never going back again! Should've went to Hilo Burger Joint instead!!
Fair prices and lovely to find a real diner in Hilo. We weren't rushed to leave which was unusual and refreshing. Huge menu and the food was great. Waitress was Nikki (sp?) and she was awesome.
After steeping my tea I placed the tea bag on the pouch it came in next to my tea cup to be reused. I also ordered several slices of lemon from another waitress that arrived in a little bowl for my tea. As dinner progressed and my wife finished her meal, we stacked her dirty dishes on the other side of the table to make room for dessert.
We've come here many times and the food is consistent. It's great in that Zippy's is open later than most eating places in Hilo. The waitress Zion is very friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place to come for a snack or a full meal. The Korean chicken salad is excellent.
The overpriced food was decent except for the house salad which was old and withered. Initially our waitress Chantel was sweet and likeable. Along with the food we ordered a cup of black Lipton tea and coffee.
After a minute or two, I waived her down and asked for the tea bag. She said that she'd have to charge me again. When I mentioned that she took it, she said she'd have to talk to her manager as she walked off. She returned with another one and said "This time we'll let it go, but next time we need to charge you!" To which I replied "But you took my tea bag and lemons.." "Well you had it on the dirty dishes!" she said condisendingly as she walked off. This attitude infuriated my wife and I so much that we skipped dessert and left without leaving a tip.
