Is Zinburger in Springfield Mall any good? I love a good burger, but I haven't tried this place yet. And I guess they have a wine angle (zin?) to their restaurant.
If anyone has any feedback on this place, I'd love to hear it.

The center of what town? The only good thing about Springfield is the roads leave it.
Zinburger is decent. Nothing special. It's no Five Guys grease bomb, I'll tell you that. If you're not making pudding in your pants within 30 mins of eating a burger...you didn't eat a burger.
Ate there for the first time yesterday. It's a little pricey and pretentious (the waitress went into a soliloquy about the place and their American Kobe beef when she found out it was our first time) but the food was damn good.
Agree with what the previous poster said - everything is extra, but the burger is really really good. Decent beers, too. I have been there a couple of times now. I would check it out if you haven't been.

Amazes how liberal and unamerican haters like you are. They want to see fairfax county FAIL but that won't happen!!!!!
Three years ago, Macerich's Tysons holdings had an assessed value of $1.001 billion. In 2007, it was $775 million. In 10 years, thanks in large part to the opening of Metro's Silver Line and the construction of connected apartment, office and hotel buildings, Tysons Corner Center has precisely doubled in assessed value.
No. 2 on Fairfax County's principal taxpayer list is Fairfax Company of Virginia LLC, an affiliate of The Taubman Co. Inc., whose Fair Oaks Mall has a fair market value of $460.5 million, according to county assessors.
And No. 3 is Franconia Two LP, better known as the Springfield Town Center. It has an assessed value of $405 million, which reflects the $465 million that Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (NYSE: PEI) paid to acquire the overhauled former Springfield Mall and its sea of parking lots from Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) in early 2015.
In 2011 — its last full year before it was shuttered for renovation — the massive Springfield Mall property was worth less than $130 million. What a difference a gut rehab and a new owner can bring.
Some see them as dinosaurs (and some certainly are in their final throes, Landmark) but clearly the mall still has value, as Tysons, Springfield and Fair Oaks alone were responsible for slightly more than 1 percent of Fairfax County's 2016 real estate tax revenue, or about $27 million.

Well lets see, if PREIT paid $465 million for STC in 2015 and two years later the property's assessed value is only $405 million, then it looks like a bad investment that has lost $60 million. It will be worth even less when JCP and Macy's close their doors!
The problem is Landmark ended up stuck in between the malls at Pentagon City and Springfield. It makes sense to have more than one shopping mall, but a string of 3 along the same highway is more Macys, etc. than the economy needs. For that matter Tysons and Fair Oaks each have two Macy's.
Tysons Corner could grow their business 100-fold if they just dug a nice attractive pedestrian tunnel between the two sites, with airport-style conveyor belts.

As others have said OK but pricey.. BGR is better.
