A Step Back in Time

by thebottlelife at Citysearch

After a long wait, I finally decided to try Zack's on South Blvd and it's everything I had expected. While some people may be turned off by the old fashioned-haven't-been-touched-in 30-years attitude, I think it definitely helps with what they are doing. The food just wouldn't work in any other setting.

I had the special of the day on Monday and it was a Ribeye sandwich, I was a little disappointed in the size of the cut of meat, but then again for 6 bucks, it was a good deal. The steak sandwich was very flavorful and juicy. I opted to pay a little extra for onion rings and it's definitely a good upgrade. The onion rings are nice and crispy and the onion doesn't fall out when you take a bite which is always a welcome sign of a good ring.

Next time I'll try the burger, as everyone raves about their quality. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because that's what it deserves. It's a rinky dink hole in the wall type place that serves food meant to be eaten in that type of place. It's no fancy burger house so if you're looking for something modern or don't like stepping back in time, you may not like this place.

Oh, You Like "In'n'Out" burgers?

by bigryanmiller at Citysearch

The burger here is ridiculously good. It's the closest thing I've ever had to an "In'n'Out" burger anywhere other than. They also make milkshakes, etc. Very old fashioned. Be sure to order the "Zach's Special" burger.

• Pros: One of the best burgers in town, landmark worthy
• Cons: Hours...not open late enough!

The Scene
Zack's has been serving up burgers--and hot dogs, fried chicken and fish--since 1975, but looking around, you might swear it's been longer than that. Laminate tables and counters line the walls and windows. The paper tray liners are so old, they show Interstate 40 stopping at Raleigh. That's the kind of nostalgia Zack's offers, in addition to great food. You'll eat alongside moms with kids covered in ketchup, construction workers with two double burgers and fries each, professionals with their ties slung over their shoulders, and office park workers juggling mountain-sized bags of to-go orders.

The Food
Hey, they don't call this Zack's Burritos: Order a double cheeseburger with onion rings and a cherry Sprite. And despite what anyone says, your instinct is correct ... Cheese fries are a perfect complement to battered onion rings.

Ultimate Fast Food Satisfaction

by adiposeboy at Citysearch

If you have an urge for that 50's type of burger joint, where you can get your weeks worth of fat calories in one sitting, then this is the place. Why eat fast food if it's P.C.? This place will give you a dripping chili-cheese burger that would make your doctor cringe, but it will put the biggest smile on your face guaranteed. Go for the Zacks Double if you dare!!!

• Pros: easy to get to
• Cons: usually crowded
