Every time we travel to Shreveport, we make it a point to stop in Logansport and eat at Big Zach's. If you're passing through and haven't stopped here yet, you really should. Everything I've tried on the menu has been excellent. The seafood is always fried to perfection--crispy, fresh, and never greasy. The hamburgers and chicken-fried steak are amazing as well and definitely worth ordering. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. Everyone there is incredibly friendly, which just adds to the experience. This place is a must-stop for us every single time. read more

Great food as always during our grad party held in their private meeting room. Awesome assistance from the entire Zach's team on moving chairs, prepping for guests. Room holds around 60 people, great decor and plenty of room for mingling. Timing of appetizers, salads, and entrees was perfect. All food was hot and fresh. We appreciate such a nice facility in the small town of Logansport! read more

We stopped in after visiting the last remaining boundary marker for the Republic of Texas. We wanted a small lunch. My wife's cheeseburger was good, my gumbo also good. The rice served with the gumbo was great. Our server, Jodie, was a super star! read more

I have always had a good experience at BigZach's, it's a little bit pricey, but for the convenience and quality of food and service that is local to Joaquin and Logansport. read more

Best Fried Fish and Shrimp. Chicken Fried Steak is also a favorite. Everything is good. Usually very busy, especially on the weekend. Get there early. We usually get ours to go and they bring it out to the car. read more

Great find while passing through town! Food was great! Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and the seafood sampler! Service was excellent and very friendly. read more

Food was really good once we were finally waited on. We read numerous reviews before visiting and what you read is true, if you're not a local you're last to be waited on. Would love to give 4 stars if service was better. It was nice to see the owner out chatting with customers during our visit. Crawfish dressing was highly recommended and delicious. read more

Not what I expected bas d on what I had heard. Salad bar lacked hygiene; no tomatoes, no egg and olives every where. We waited 15 minutes for salad bowls and was disappointed with it. Food arrived at same time as main dish I had the 4 fish and crab . It was good but they should have called it fish strips as you will see in our picture. Chicken fried steak looked great . I would not drive back . read more

Big Zach's Place - As you can see it's not worth $20 fish strips, crab and a Luke cold baked potato. - American Near Me - Logansport, Louisiana

This is a local blessing! They have excellent food for a reasonable price. Zack is usually there and they have recently added a bar to the restaurant. I would recommend he look at expanding the menus just a tad, having a pizza take out option would be a great addition. read more

Love it great service The Manager stay on top of her employer's making sure they taking care of they table

In a trip filled with terrible seafood and service this place was a becon of hope to a lost soul. Their homemade coleslaw was excellent maybe the best I've ever tasted. The seafood platter is an excellent value and was very tasty. My only real complaint is the frog legs were a tad under seasoned but otherwise they were quite delicious. read more

So yum! I am by no means a country girl and would have never stopped here if I didn't have a reason to come into Logansport. I love fried pickles and this place does the best fried pickles! The fried green tomatoes were also a delight- I have never had it before but would not hesitate to get it again if the chance arise. My friend got a six piece frog legs with baked sweet potato side was absolutely demolished. Safe to say, he loved it. I had the oyster Po'boy and though the oyster was not fried enough for me the bread tasted sooo good. The atmosphere is very friendly, clean and service was efficient and helpful. If you're ever on this side of the border definitely make a stop. Ps. My friend and I got gumbo to go and it was highly satisfying. read more

Super friendly people. Local hangout for the " higher end" people in Logansport. The bad part of that is you need to get two glasses of tea when you get your waitresses attention. They have about 8 waitresses on Friday and Saturday. It's not enough. Large groups of locals come in and they work very hard to please the locals. If you aren't local then get two glasses of whatever you're drinking. The food is very good. The appetizers and deserts are as well. It's pricey. But it is good. And your waitresses are never far. But they're going to pass you doing 200 mph to get to the table with the locals. There is a lot of big groups there. I waited an hour and fifteen minutes for my food last weekend. There's another Cajun restaurant straight across from them. It's just as good and the waitresses actually help you. I go there a lot more now. I try and avoid this place. I just don't enjoy it taking over an hour to eat. read more

Great place in a small town! Have eaten here several times and food is always great. The help is good and food is served pretty quick. Today I had the seafood gumbo and could have had a little more kick but still tasted pretty good. read more

Food and service is always great! From the burgers to seafood to steaks you won't find anything better around here

Quite a nice surprise. We were just passing through town and asked a local for a recommendation. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. The menu had a nice variety of Louisiana cuisine that wasn't bad for a border town. I had the oysters po boy and fried green tomatoes. I was not disappointed. My fellow diners enjoyed their selections as well. We didn't choose the salad bar, though it looked somewhat feeble. The prices seemed a little high for a small town. I wouldn't think the average local could afford to eat here on a lunch break. All in all, we were pleased with our experience. read more

My wife and I made about a twenty minute drive to eat there and I must say we were disappointed in this restraunt. We had 8 piece fried fish and 6 piece frog legs. The fish should be called sliver pieces, and baby frog legs. The one thing I can say was the waitress was excellent. They could have done better than the one trip salad bar and the tiny bowl of $2.99 pinto beans. We are used to going to David Beards Catfish in Waskom Texas where for same price all you can eat fish, salad and pinto beans. I believe if Zacks had any competition near they would have to shut down read more

Big Zack's Place is located about an hours drive from Shreveport. I suggest two drivers because after eating the generous portions served, getting home may take shifts of drivers. We made reservations, as our Friday night group consisted of seven hungry adults. Reservations were helpful as the place was packed with what appeared to be every living person in Logansport. We were quickly seated and our efficient waitress took drink orders. Sorry-- no alcohol available. Our table decided to order several different appetizers to sample as wide of the variety offered. Food orders followed and eating soon began. Fried pickles were a hit as were excellent fried, green tomatoes. The home made potato chips were also excellent as were the fried onion flips. Onion flips we're hand battered onion strands-- tasty but too greasy. As the main meals hit the table, we chowded down on generous portions. A monster BLT was good and much of it uneaten due to it's size. The fried catfish was top notch, better than most. Judy and I got the chicken fried steak- a large, rather bland piece of beef. A disappointment to the both of us. Our side of onion rings went uneaten as they appeared to be the store- bought , frozen kind, not hand battered like the onion flips. The home fries on most plates were ignored as being limp. I ordered a small gumbo and one stuffed shrimp. Gumbo had potential but was thin and overly tasted of file'. The stuffed shrimp was more stuffing taste than shrimp-- bland. Fried shrimp were enjoyed by those who ordered them. A trip to the salad bar was included. Stuff on the salad bar was limited but very fresh! In summary-- fried catfish and shrimp were the hit. If you are in the area, by all means enjoy some fish and appetizers with friends! read more

The service here was awful. Didn't get a drink or menu for 15 minutes and that was only when I asked for them. Finally got our food and the order was wrong. Never got a drink refill and had to get my own ketchup! The food was very good but the service was awful. read more

Took some friends there for all our first times, it was nice! I was very surprised. Food was really good, and ambience was ok. My only critique would be on the service. The girl who served us wouldn't even try to smile, and clearly the whole of the staff disliked gays. My boyfriend and I could clearly see the employees were not thrilled at that. Which I don't mind, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but when you're in the restaurant business, you should make everyone FEEL welcome. That aside though, I'll most likely be back! The food was still good. read more

Visited for first time Friday night. I ordered a steak. It was excellent. I love my steak med- rare. Most places over cook it. Not here. It was perfect. Service was also very good. Four of us ordered different items from menu. All of us were pleased with our food & the service. read more

We went and were greeted when we walked in. The service was fast and Big Zach walked around saying hello to everyone. We had the blackened catfish, grilled medleys, raw oysters, stuffed shrimp and stuffed crab. It was out of this world. Definitely recommend! read more

Was in Logansport admiring the Christmas lights & stopped to eat. Had no idea what to expect-small town, limited choices! The food at Big Zach's was delicious -had chicken fried steak with gravy & mashed potatoes. The service was very good considering there was a Christmas party in room next to us. Wonderful dining experience! Would highly recommend this place if you are in Logansport. read more

There are few restaurants to choose from in Logansport but this is still a winner! We started with the fried pickles and they are AMAZING!! Light, crisp, tangy, and heaping! I had the fettuccine with blackened shrimp (watery and bland sauce, but great shrimp) and my husband had chopped steak with brown gravy (he said was tasty). I shared his fried okra (as good as the pickles) and left full and satisfied (although I left half the pasta - just wasn't worth the carbs and calories!). The server was sweet and attentive and we will definitely be back! read more

I have traveled and dined all over the United States and have just had the best stuffed flounder I have ever had. Service was also incredible. Drove 65 miles to get here and will be making it a regular trip. read more

Stopped in about an hour before closing on a Friday evening. Restaurant was pretty busy. I watched the server half wipe our table before we were seated. The table was sticky. The other tables had a glass top and ours did not. Don't know if this had anything to do with it, but still a sticky table was a turn off. I ordered seafood gumbo and my friend ordered fish and stuffed crab combo. She said hers was fine. Gumbo was OK. Roux was soupy and bland. Food temp was warm, not hot. Service was not bad, just amateur. A little pricey. Salad plate was a small saucer. I hate to judge on one visit, so I'll give them another try when they are less busy. read more

Enjoyed the Mardi Gras parade in Logansport tonight, then walked to Big Zachs for a meal. It was a full house, but the service was still speedy and cheerful. We had the fried pickles for an appetizer. They were cooked perfectly and served with ranch. Two choices for sizes on my chicken fried steak: regular and large. I went went regular and it was still a very good portion. Tender, not overly battered. daughter had whole fried fish. It was fresh, flaky and cooked perfectly. Other Daughter had a baked potato. ( side the rest of us had too.)It was a large portion. Lots of fixings. We all had side salads too. Son had New York strip, cooked perfectly medium. Juicy juicy! We picked up 3 lbs of boiled crawfish to go at the end of our trip for hubby at home. He inhaled them! Lots of seasoning. Side of cob corn and potato cooked perfectly. You can tell all of our food was cooked with care and attention to detail. Hard to find these days in a fast food world. The service is always with a smile. And we will go back again and again! read more
