Kaho’olawe<\/a>, and it’s really awkward, so we’ll just breeze right by the subject. Let’s just say it’s one of the reasons many in Hawaii resent “haoles” (outsiders, especially people of European ancestry) and why our childhood mainly consisted of being repeatedly punched in the face for no particular reason.<\/p>\nWe’d estimate 90 percent of the customers during our visit to Zippy’s were Hawaii transplants.<\/p>\n
The interior has a bit of a cafeteria feel, but we like that there’s a counter, perfect for solo dining.<\/p>\nNo shaved ice (sorry, “shave ice”), but nobody’s perfect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHonestly, we have no idea whether to recommend you make the trip to try Zippy’s. We weren’t waiting half-an-hour to eat, as we are extraordinarily busy and self-important, so we didn’t get to try anything.<\/p>\n
Given the amazing dining options in Las Vegas, you’re unlikely to be impressed with the food based purely upon, you know, the food. We did mention several dishes feature Spam, right?<\/p>\n
Zippy’s has a bakery, with lots of options, including cakes, pies and the gold standard of Hawaiian desserts, malasadas.<\/p>\nProps to Zippy’s for the subtle nod to slot machines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe found the employees at Zippy’s to be very friendly and helpful.<\/p>\n
There’s a special line and counter for the bakery and take-out orders.<\/p>\nIn a wild coincidence, our nickname in college was Zippy. Rude.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Zippy’s parking situation was a mess, but we trust that will pass with time.<\/p>\n
You can’t enter the Zippy’s parking lot directly, as cars are diverted around the block and back to the same parking lot, probably a mile drive, serving no purpose whatsoever other than making customers prove their commitment to dining at Zippy’s.<\/p>\n
The address for the first Zippy’s outside Hawaii is 7095 Badura Ave.<\/a>, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118. The restaurant sits on the corner of Badura Avenue and Montessouri Street.<\/p>\nWe will definitely be back to Zippy’s after the initial crush of business subsides. The folks at Zippy’s hope it never does.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
A new restaurant, Zippy’s, opened Oct. 10, 2023, in Las Vegas after significant delays. Zippy’s, a longtime fixture in Hawaii, was originally announced in 2018. Then there as a worldwide shitshow. Zippy’s waited it out, as did many of the brand’s fans.
