Zack's Hamburgers - Charlotte

With sadness I write this review. Charlotte is losing another great staple of the city. Zack's has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I remember spending summer vacation at the Scaleybark Library across the street and grabbing the Zack's special no mayo, light special sauce with onion rings instead of fries with sweet tea for home (still my go to order til this day). The 2 Hot dog special I shared with my sister or my mom and I sharing the Trout special when she worked at my middle school. Zack's has a dear place in my heart. Their onion rings run deep in my veins you could say. The food is always cooked to order and fresh. The small restaurant seemed so big to me when I was little and now it holds so many memories. I hate to say goodbye but the memories run strong. Zack's Hamburger 4009 South Blvd Charlotte, NC 28209 (Review 549 overall, 93 in 2021)

Good little burger spot off South Blvd. Prices are fair for what you get. The burger tastes similar (but better) than a McDonald's burger. The fries were ok but needed salt. The onion rings I will come back for! My order took longer to come out because I guess they had to make the onion rings so if you're in a hurry you might want to order french fries.

Tried Zach's for the first time! Very friendly service, COVID compliant with distanced seating inside and outside. Got the Zach's special which did not disappoint only giving 4 stars because I wish the burger was cooked a bit more or charred per their published reviews on the Agenda and so forth but perhaps that was my fault for not specifying. The fries reminded me McDonald's fries but less greasy! For the price point, the quality is very good.

So we tried coming here on a random Thursday and we found it closed. The sign said family emergency so we didn't wanna hold that against them. We came back on the following Monday and this place was packed! I got a Zack's special and onion rings. Very tasty and affordable. For me the onion rings needed to be crispier so when we came back and got back home I popped them in my air fryer and voila. The hamburgers resemble somewhat of a McDonalds feel but still home made. The burgers do need a better quality check as we asked for ketchup, mustard and extra pickles and twice now there's been a spot of ketchup and mustard. Try it for yourself and see how you like a home made burger!!!!

I had to check out Zack 's while I was in town after reading the reviews. I loved that it is truly holding the 50 's nostalgia vibe! the inside is small with only a few seating tables, but they have a counter top with stools all the way across the front (idk maybe 10-20 stools). The service was quick and the employees were all friendly and helpful. I ordered the single burger, but she Zack 'd it for me with the special sauce and toppings, onion ring and a strawberry shake. The onion rings and shake were both were amazing! The burger was a bit basic and didn 't taste freshly made which was disappointing to me. I love a good burger. Note: Bathrooms are outside on the back of the building. Not too big of a deal unless it raining (it was storming when I was there) or you have kids- I saw a few guests get a bit confused with this one and deciding if they wanted to leave their food inside on a table while taking child to the restroom.
