Non-chain burger and wine stop in T4 near the B gates
Zinburger sits in Terminal 4 by the B gates, handy if you’re flying Southwest out of PHX and want a real sit-down meal. It runs in the mid-range price tier ($$), so think airport-upcharged burger joint, not fast food. Expect a full bar with a focus on wine by the glass, plus a handful of local beer taps. Rating hovers around 4 stars online, helped by people who say it beats the generic chains scattered through T4.
Menu is burgers, salads, and sides, with most burgers landing in the low-to-mid teens before tax and tip. Multiple reviewers call out the burger as juicy and cooked correctly when the kitchen isn’t slammed, and an AZCentral video specifically tags Zinburger as one of the better burger options at PHX. If you want one standout order, go burger plus the zucchini fries side, which pops up in Google reviews more than the regular fries. Wine pours skew toward approachable reds that pair well with a medium burger.
Service time is the trade-off. When the dining room fills up near the B concourse, several reviewers report burgers taking 20–30 minutes to hit the table. That’s also when some complain about overcooked patties and under-seasoned regular fries. Prices run high even by airport standards, especially if you add a glass of wine, so plan on a tab that can easily push $30–$35 per person with drink and tip.
Watch out for peak Southwest banks in Terminal 4; that’s when every table near the B gates seems to fill at once and wait times spike. If your departure is from a distant A gate, factor in the extra walk back after eating. Practical move: check your boarding time, snag a seat at the bar instead of a table, order a burger and zucchini fries right away, and cap your stay at 45 minutes door to door.
