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.
