Description

What's so healthy about Ziggy's? According to their website, they use "organic beef and eggs from a local farm, whole wheat and multi-grain breads from a 5th generation local baker, hand cut, never frozen french fries and sweet potato fries." You're also likely to see things like "grass fed" and "hormone-free" pop up around the menu, which is kind of an eclectic thing that could perhaps be best described as "Southwestern hippie." You can get a burger made out of (among other things) buffalo meat or chickpea, let's put it that way. Served in a breezy, loose-but-neat sort of setting halfway between diner and coffee shop. Free WiFi.

2011 | Best Gay-Friendly Restaurant

Deep in the heart of the Gayborhood, Ziggy's has been taking all comers and serving them delicious, healthy food for years, long before the corner of Fairview and Taft became the hot spot that it is today. Ziggy's proudly proclaims that 70 percent of its customers are regulars, and you'll see why so many of them return again and again to the creaky old dining room or well-manicured patio. The rainbow flags hung outside are repeated in the restaurant's multicolored logo, and its Twitter... More »

I really liked it here. Some reviews have complained about service but I thought it was great. Enjoyed coming here for a healthy but tasty dinner on a weeknight. Check for happy hour deals- they looked pretty good. Also, it feels good to support a store that buys local. I enjoyed the chickpea/carrot/pecan burger with sweet potato fries; my boyfriend loved the vegetarian loaf. Bottom line: Super vegetarian friendly; good alcohol; medium price range (12-15 per person). I would go back and I would recommend this to friends.
