Zombie Burger + Drink Lab

An unbelievable meal from this bonkers restaurant! The adult milkshakes are incredible and something I have not come across before, a true novelty that tasted amazing, strawberry and tequila cream milkshake is cranky and blows your mind how good it is! The theme of zombies is awesome and there is some incredible art on the walls, great work to whoever did that. The burger I had was a ‘coming to get you Barbara’ which was delicious and one that I honestly didn’t want to finish because the taste experience would be over, I would say a top 3 burger of all time for me, if not the best that I have ever tasted at the ripe old age of 47, believe me when I say that I have tasted a lot of burgers!! Hostess was very sweet and attentive which only adds to the experience and the next time I’m back in Des Moines this will be the first place I visit to eat, absolutely no doubt about it!

Nice crew and delicious food

I've been here a handful of times over the past few years. The burgers are decent and the milkshakes are always pretty good. My favorite thing to get every time is the Goat Cheese Poppers, though. So good! Especially with the raspberry dipping sauce. Somehow, it just works! I'm not sure when they added the ramen, but my hubs brought it home tonight. It was alright. The broth was a little too bitter and the char sui was cooked weird for being in ramen. It was still decent, but I think I would just stick with the burger after my next year-long hiatus. Love the updates to the inner-space, and the kiosks for ordering take-out. Novelty food, for sure. But if you like jalapeño poppers then definitely try theirs!

Found this place as one of the places to try in DSM. Was not disappointed! Food was great and I loved the clever names of their sandwiches. We tried the “We’re Coming to get you Barbara”, the “Better off Ched” and the “Cremator” along with the poutine basket. The kids had the mac and cheese and a cheeseburger. The Barbara was probably the best. The Ched was good but definitely required a fork to eat after the first bite. We all enjoyed this place so much that we actually ate here twice during our trip.

Wild burger joint with a horror-movie theme — weirdly fun and surprisingly good food. The “Undead Elvis” (with peanut butter and bacon) shouldn’t work, but it totally does. Shakes are thick, music’s loud, and the vibe’s pure chaos in a good way. Great place to bring friends and not take anything too seriously.

Decided to stop here for dinner on our way back home and it was a little late but we got seated at 8 and we all knew what were going to get so we were going to be in and out. We sat there for 30 minutes while the bartender kept taking the 10 top and not even acknowledging us. Kinda disappointed as we only stop to eat here when we're coming back from vacation and don't have one back home.

The food and service were top notch. They had many vegetarian and vegan options. The chocolate shake was amazing. The decor and dish names were very clever — they fit in perfectly with the fun zombie theme.

Outstanding food and service. Awesome burgers and shakes. From our of town and thoroughly enjoyed the theme and food.

Kids meal was very dry then when my family member spilt a drink the wait walked away we asked another to grab a mop and she said okay then moved on with other customers..
Services was lacking today.

But the jalapeno poppers were bomb. Some of the best I have had.
