Zesto - Atlanta

5 stars just because this location bring back so many memories. This Zesto's has been around since 1949. Y'all when i say the chicken gizzards and liver will make you slap yo mama (^)o(^) . And the shakes, but mainly the pineapple shake will make you kick yo grandmama‿ . Today and always when I visit, the service has always been great. When you come in, it's like your coming back to a great aunts house for dinner. That good southern hospitality that i love. Everybody come visit Zesto's and tell them I sent you

I always meant to visit the Zesto in Little 5 but never did, so I decided to try the location a little but further south before it's sold and turned into condos that few people can afford. I ordered the Fat Boy burger without onions, regular fries and a Heath Bar Artichoke Blast. I went through the drive-thru with an expectation to wait, and the wait didn't feel terribly long. You'll need to be patient with ordering because the person taking my order was not in a hurry. This didn't bother me, but if you're in a hurry, the Burger King across the street might be a better bet. The food was ordinary fast food. The burger tasted old, neither the buns nor the meat patties had not been warmed and were definitely not fresh. The fries were very hot, but unseasoned and I'm guessing the reason I had to wait. The Artic Blast was ice cream deliciousness, and I would come back for this item only. Zesto knows ice cream, baby! I'm glad I finally gave Zesto a try. It's a piece of the Old Atlanta that I greatly miss.

The service was excellent and with a smile. The food looked good, tasted great and was serve hot. Thank you making my Resturant experience great!

Zesto's is a hidden gem for those with a penchant for indulging in the divine combination of sweet and savory. This place, with its quaint charm and retro vibes, beckons to all who crave the simple pleasures of ice cream and cheeseburgers. It's not just about satisfying hunger; it's about experiencing a slice of culinary bliss from our childhoods.The ice cream at Zesto's is nothing short of phenomenal. Each scoop is a creamy voyage through classic and inventive flavors, ensuring that every palate finds its match. Butterscotch dipped cone? Chefs kiss!But let's not forget the cheeseburgers - oh, the cheeseburgers! The patties are juicy, the cheese is perfectly melted, and the buns are toasted to perfection. Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, making it hard to resist the urge to order another. In a world where fast food often sacrifices quality for convenience, Zesto's stands out by proving that quick service and delicious, quality food can indeed go hand in hand!

I went in on a Mother's Day,just because it was a nostalgic place for me growing up , so I stopped by. The customer service was great but my food was WRONG !!!! I don't live near the restaurant so I should have checked my food but my order was simple a fish sandwich and I got a gyro instead, very disappointed will not be visiting again!!!

Atlanta traffic is wild. How Waze took me from Stone Mountain on I-20 to Marietta through the turn off for Zesto is beyond me, but when I turned off and saw this place on the Food sign, which I have passed by hundreds of times before and never noticed it, I was like, hmm. So I looked it up and I said, okay, let me give this place a try. Not going to lie, parking is terrible, and the building looks older than dirt, and the inside also looked older than dirt, but the smell that hit me when I walked in, and the happy faces of the people that worked there immediately gave me good vibes. The menu was very 1960s, and the photos that told the history of the place throughout the building confirmed that this place has been here for a while. They had all the classics, burgers and fries, custom milkshakes, etc. The only downsides that I could really say was that the food didn't really pack a lot of flavor and was a little cold, but it was very filling and gave me nostalgic feels of going to a Central Park or something. I probably wouldn't get anything from here again, but I am not disappointed that I went and I tried it.

Used to love this place but is now super suspect. We've stopped by 3 times and each time they told use they were closed. The last time we were there before 7. We'll see the car before us place an order, but will tell us that they're closed

Yeah. I don't feel bad about my rating after seeing the average rating. The bread was soggy that I got for the burger it still was good (the meat was juicy and the veggies were fresh. The pita bread was the best part of the meal but it wasn't good. Usually, the sauce has a strong flavor and I don't know what lamb looks like as it's difficult to find gyro made with 100% lamb. The lamb looks dry and processed, if that is a thing. It has to be about forty years since I've been here, the last time I was here I believe Mom or Dad brought me here. A lot has changed now that I've changed my diet, and I can only rate them based on the items I can eat.

I my order was a milkshake but what I received was a cup of mostly whipped cream Not Good

It is my unfortunate Duty to make people aware that the Zestos in East Atlanta off United Avenue can no longer be trusted to make your orders the way they're supposed to . I have been a fan of this restaurant since I was 5 years old . On Saturday July 15th 2023 I went into this restaurant and I ordered almost $40 worth of take out. I ordered three separate baskets primary of which was a chubby decker basket no tomato . What I got was two two beef patties smeared with condiments and lettuce I don't even recall there was any cheese on the sandwich . A chubby decker is a double decker sandwich that has a slice of bun between the two beef patties similar to a Big Mac . What I got was similar to a Double Quarter Pounder . Not what I ordered .I drove 30 miles round trip in order to be totally disappointed by this location of Zesto's . I will never ever go to that location again simply because all they had to do was to tell me that they didn't have the right kind of buns for my sandwich instead of trying to make something that they were sure would not satisfy me . It was obvious that they did not give a damn whether I was satisfied or not .​​ This is not the first time that there have been issues at this restaurant . On one occasion perhaps in 2020 or 2021 I went there to order my favorite items only to find out that on this particular day there credit card terminal was not working had I not had some cash in my wallet I would have not been able to purchase anything without going to an ATM. That was tolerable . The food at that time was satisfactory . The issues at this store make it impossible for me to stop by and pick up the things I like because I can't ever be confident that what I want will be available or that I will even be able to pay for it without having to make a extra stop . Unfortunately this location is gone to the dogs and it does not deserve your patronage. I received far better service at the sister location on the north side of I-20 on Moreland Avenue . But now that location is closed and Zesto's is dying a slow death . All good things must come to an end and it seems as though the end for the East Atlanta Zestos is at hand .
