We have come to Zack’s a number of times. After giving up our local haunt as it changed hands and was never the same, we started looking for a new one. We have been to Zack’s many times and now feel we have finally found our new local favorite. Cole is awesome and wonderfully personal yet not intrusive. The food is consistently great, the service exemplary and the prices are not outlandish. My partner often defers to the homemade burger and says it is the best he’s ever had. AND the fries are not just your normal salted potato out of the deep fryer. These are specially and uniquely seasoned to make them stand out among the usual fare. We have now sampled many items on the menu and have found them all to be top notch. For me, food must be wholesome, not laden with the most convenient chemical laden stuff. The service needs to be consistent, friendly but not intrusive and on point. Please don’t come to my table and ask me how my meal is when I have just taken a bite. You won’t find this at Zack’s. As we have now eaten there more than 1/2 dozen times, I can honestly say they care about their food, how it is prepared and how it is presented as well as their customers. It is a hard place to reach especially now during Covid and so much additional expense being placed on our local restaurants to keep everyone safe. Thank you for being our new regular favorite local place to eat. Cheers, Lorrie

Large patio on the strip, crispy fries and a burger patty with a spice blend they wouldn't share (shhhh! Chef's secret blend). I had the Namesake burger (Zacks Burger) with the beef patty and obviously I upgraded to the house fries. Trust me, you want the upgrade, unless you have a business meeting afterwards! The garlic aioli is intense! Perfectly suited to the crispy but not overcooked fries topped with freshly grated Parmesan, the aioli just makes them irresistible. If you start with the fries, set a reminder to save room for the burger. The burger is perfect. A well seasoned patty layered with all the right fixings. Crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes, red onion, thick cheddar slice and of course butter lettuce! There's a slight kick from either the house sauce or the burger patty which is welcomed and helps marry the rest of the flavors. Let's not forget the brioche bun, grilled to a crisp edge, and not dense or overpowering. The perfect delivery system! Don't drive by without at least taking some house fries to go!

Came here based on a recommendation from a woman at Ladysmith Community Marina. I could not have been more pleased. I had the Chicken Club sandwich with a salad and it was by far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. My husband was equally pleased with his chicken burger (Zack's Burger). Without a doubt, the next time we're in the area, we will be back to enjoy Cole's hospitality. I give it 5 stars, something I seldom do. On a side note, my blood sugars were taking a dive and Cole immediately gave me some Coke to ward off a bad reaction, no charge.

Zack's was our random selection for late lunch on a spontaneous Sunday afternoon drive. We called ahead for take out but decided to try some custom cocktails while order was finishing up. Halibut and chips, The Absolute and a garden salad- all excellent. Cole is a top shelf mixologist. Cole also recommended we picnic down by the water at public park. An all around delightful experience that we will do again.
