The Zombie Shop

I wanted to like this place more than I did. The food itself was okay, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. For a spot called the Zombie Shop, the atmosphere felt surprisingly bland—especially for Christmas time. The decorations were minimal and didn’t really add any personality or seasonal vibe, which was disappointing. What really stood out in a negative way was the restroom situation. Not having a working restroom during the holiday season, and right around peak lunch hours (around noon), is a big miss. It honestly felt like basic customer needs weren’t being considered, which is concerning. On top of that, the pricing doesn’t quite match the portion sizes. Paying around $7 for a zombie that small just doesn’t feel like a great value. If the portions were bigger or the e

I was recommended their new veggie zombie and I was very pleasantly surprised. I normally get their cheeseburger one but this tasted REALLY good. I'm laughing cause I ate it so fast. It has portobello mushrooms in it and I believe mozzarella with possibly parmesan and garlic seasoning but I'm not 100% sure. Whatever they did it was great. Highly recommend and would eat again.

Quick grab and go location. The stuffed buns are located in a hot box behind the counter so you get your food right after ordering. So if you know what a baked Chinese pork bun is... this is the American version of it. The buns themselves are soft lite and airy. We got: Cheese... imagine American Cheese stuffed inside a bun... ok... not really something to write home about. $4 The Brisket... more like a hand pulled pork in a sweet sauce stuffed bun. I was hoping more for a sliced brisket. Something with a little more texture. The cheese on the beef was not fully melted and incorporated into the brisket. $10 Cheeseburger....now this one is winner. Really smells and taste like a McDonald's cheeseburger. Excellent flavor and texture. The sliced pickles really off set the oily

The cheese zombie is a type of sandwich invented at Mt Diablo High School in 1963. The Zombie Shop proudly continues the East Bay tradition to this day. The sandwiches are fresh, hot, and inventive. The service was great, the cashier treated me like a friend. We got 3 different flavors of zombie, our favorite by far was the Jalapeno Popper flavor. We were stuffed, and only paid about $20. Highly recommended for a quiet bite in Martinez.
