Did You Know? You Can Still Eat at Zebb's in Central New York

Miss your favorite burger place in New Hartford? Believe it or not, they aren't actually gone for good.

It was a sad moment for every Central New Yorker on July 29th, 2019. This marked the day Zebb's Deluxe Grill & Bar closed in New Hartford. Known as a staple "build-your-own" burger joint in the area, many people created lasting memories there.

From the 60's/70's retro theme, to their classic homemade steak fries... there was so much to love about Zebb's. Can you tell I'm still sad about it?

To add insult to injury, an arsonist set fire to the building in December of 2022. So not only was our favorite restaurant vacant, but now it had a gaping hole in the side. The hopes and dreams of someone reopening the restaurant were gone.

Memories Left in Rubble

Crews then came to demolish the building in April 2023, washing all of our memories down the drain. We can still vaguely see the abundance of sweet pickles on our plate, with the toppings cart slowly rolling off into the horizon.
