I went in mid afternoon for a sandwich. The place was very quiet. Took a little longer to get my sandwich than I expected, but it was tasty and well made. This experience was on par with several I had under the previous owner. Will have to give it a try again on my next visit to Hyde Park.

Read the reviews after I ate. Explains poor quality. My panini came out by the time I walked to the back. Hardly toasted. Meat looked skeptical. Not coming back. I also had been back 2 times before this after long hiatus. Neither time did they have sugar free vanilla and wait staff felt need to flirt with a guy and let line back up waiting for their drinks. Don't think they're coming back either. A real shame. Go to Robust 63 and Woodlawn. You won't be disappointed.

New owners as of Nov 2016... avoid at all costs. Z&H used to be our go-to sandwich place in the neighborhood... solid sandwiches made from really good ingredients by people that cared about the quality of what they were making. When I went in today I thought something was up... all of the good chips were now Flaming Hot Cheetos and Doritos and the coffee was cheap pre-pack stuff they're probably ordering from Sysco. The menu was the same, at least on paper. Once we went back to the counter was when we really saw the difference... sweatshirt on top of the meat slicer and cheap gas station-quality lunch meat. I'm not exactly sure why the current owner purchased Z&H only to essentially change everything that was good about it. The location will be closed in 3 months.

Z&H's Chicken cilantro lime soup is divine and they serve great iced lattes (which I am not ashamed to admit that I drink even during the heaviest snow days). They have some of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten and also great taco nights. Service is friendly and they still remember you years after you've graduated from the U of C.

Awesome environment. Excellent staff. Great eats. One of my favorite Z&H people is Nale; she makes a fantastic sandwich and her customer service is tremendous; she always makes sure you feel like you are the most important customer. I highly recommend you take a visit.
