Fox Restaurant Concepts announces Zinburger in Gilbert will open Oct. 27

We finally have an opening date for Zinburger in downtown Gilbert. Sam Fox’s gourmet burger and wine bar will open Monday, Oct. 27.

The prolific Phoenix-based restaurateur operates 24 eateries encompassing 15 different concepts in seven states, but only two – Sauce Pizza & Wine in Mesa and Chandler – in the East Valley.

He debuted the Zinburger concept in Tucson in 2007. There now are four locations – two in Tucson, one in Phoenix, and one in Scottsdale.

Located on the northwest corner of Gilbert and Vaughn, the Gilbert Zinburger promises “master-crafted burgers, fresh sides and salads, decadent milkshakes and perfectly paired wines and craft beers” (see the Phoenix menu).

The 5,600-square-foot restaurant and patio will seat 197 people. It will be open for lunch and dinner daily.

No opening dates yet for the other restaurants – Pomo Cucina & Pizzeria, Barrio Queen and Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles – joining Zinburger at Gilbert’s new Heritage Marketplace.
