Great food and atmosphere. The service is good and you can get apps or food at the bar (great Old Fashions)

Stopped in with my parents for dinner. My dad has been wanting to go and I'm sure glad he did. We were able to walk in without a reservation and Zach was a great host. Plenty of space inside and a nice outdoor area where you can eat too. We ordered the ribs for an appetizer and I went with the 9oz filet. The soup came out super fast and was very good. Great bread too. The ribs were full of flavor. Smoky, sweet, and came right off the bone. The filet was a perfect medium rare with great sear marks. Green beans may have been my favorite. Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. I'm glad we were able to stop in. read more

Zachary's Grill - Filet Mignon - Seafood Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Went to this place tonight with eight of our friends my wife and I shared redfish which neither of us had ever had before. It came with garlic, spinach, really nice tiny well done potatoes and a mixture of root vegetables. It came with a wonderful salad and the table had great bread on it. Nice hot soft tasty bread 1000 Island dressing on the salad was wonderful. The red fish was terrific. The vegetables were great. the potatoes were great. The coffee was not so great but everything else was in the waitress was terrific. We brought a birthday cake in for one of our friends and the waitress cut it up and put it on plates. She was a nice lady so I'm giving this a five star. read more

Zachary's Grill - Us with our friends enjoying an evening at Zachary's - Seafood Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Had dinner with a friend on a Friday evening. The menu had been updated since my last visit. We ordered a cocktail and then ordered dinner.

Great menu! The appetizers and salads are unique and very tasty, the staff is friendly, patient and conversational. I wish this place was open back when I lived in the area years ago as I would have been a regular. I will be visiting again. read more

Very good food great service. I would recommend that you try them. You won't be disappointed

Zachary's was great a diamond in the rough! I've been there several times. A great place to have a shower or a wonderful brunch with many options. I had a casual lunch as well as a great dinner. Check it out, go somewhere that you can park and enjoy! read more

If you're looking for a place that feels fancy, this is a good one. With white table clothes, beautiful cocktails, and them boxing up your leftovers for you, it feels like a slice of luxury in the suburbs. But do note, the crowd was pretty casually dressed with many people in jeans and a waiter in shorts. For food, I got the Sicilian Chicken & Roasted Potatoes with the House Salad and stuck with the Champagne Vinaigrette dressing. It was really good, but I do have a few notes: the salad was overly dressed for my liking; the Chicken portion was large, but I didn't feel like the potato ratio was quite right; perhaps it was just the menu items I was considering based on my choice of meats/seafood, but I felt like a lot of the entrees didn't come with a vegetable unless you consider the salad (which I don't). My waitress was fairly helpful and I love that she offered a Half Pour of wine when I mentioned not wanting a whole glass - it's half the wine for half the price, and I thought the Pinot Grigio went perfectly with my meal! Things to know: the restaurant is located in a Plaza of sorts with plenty of parking. And the table came with a bread basket and the portions were large, so the prices felt reasonable. I would look forward to coming back and having the chance to try something else off the menu, possibly one of the seasonal entrees that the chef just added! read more

I don't usually write negative reviews but the phone call I received the day after my Christmas party at Zachary's on Saturday December 13th needs to be shared. The day after my Christmas party for my Senior Group at Zacharys I received a phone call from someone that I later found out was the Chef . She told me that my group of Seniors were NO LONGER Welcome at Zachary's and she preferred that we book next year's Christmas party at another venue. Her complaints were Cash Bar, waitstaff crying and that this was her staffs holiday to. Cash Bar...one bartender for the entire restaurant plus my 34 seniors in their private room. The bar was busy but the restaurant was virtually empty but for a couple of tables the whole evening. The bartender was rude, there was no signs of the waitstaff crying but they were rude to. They bought out dinner without asking when I wanted it served and tapped my guests at the bar on the shoulder and told them to sit down they were serving dinner. Same with the desserts I bought in. Tapped my guests on the shoulder and told them the sweets were out and they should go get them now. I reached out to Zachary both by phone and email and no response. I and my Senior group have spent a lot of money at Zachary's over the years but no more. Zachary's has not only lost the business of myself and my 33 guests , but their families & friends and anyone who asks us for a good restaurant referral. read more

We had a great experience! The Tuscan shrimp and scallops were fresh and full of flavor. The filet was one of the best. Medium rare was spot on. The Saturday Prime rib special had great flavor. We are heading back there again! read more

We were out with another couple this Thursday. Excellent service! Water and bread delivered almost immediately. One person ordered Schnitzel - mashed potatoes and vegetables- fantastic! Another person ordered Ribs - sweat potatoes- delicious! Third person ordered Filet mignon - bearnaise sauce, green beans and potatoes on side. I had Caesar salad and chicken soup - very good! Most of all I commend the server. We had not been there for 1 1/2 months- but this wonderful server, Cindy, knew everyone's special requests from our previous dining from memory. Never writes any notes for orders - Just excellent!!!! Thank you, Cindy!! - From ALL of us!!! read more

Absolutely love this place and the people who work here! Everything has always been on point!

Great greeting at the door! We did make reservations yet we arrived a bit before the dinner crowd. Our waitress came right over greeted us and welcomed us as well. The Menu looked great with descriptions of each meal. Along with the daily menu there was a menu with specials. One person in our party ordered Calamari for the appetizer along with placing our beverage order. Not long after everyone placed our orders the Calamari arrived and smelled fresh. Those at the table who tasted it...was delicious. We could tell it was not a frozen product. With each meal there is soup or salad. Most of us ordered the Clam Chowder and it was unanimously delicious! This is generally not a description Everyone has in a party of our size. I ordered one of the specials which was the Swordfish. It was DELICIOUS! Everyone else indicated they really enjoyed their meals. The entire experience was pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Oh my! This Palos Heights restaurant is beyond fantastic! I have no idea how this chef can create such an imaginative menu with such depth and creativity. I would order anything off of that menu. How the heck do you do it Zachary? Dining room is lovely, the bar is beautiful (I could do without the TVs, but it kind of had a little ambience for even people that don't watch TVs). And now an outdoor patio with charming string lights. I was a prep cook, and a sous chef on Cape Cod and I have never had chicken soup this good - everything about it was perfect and my dining partner loved it as well. We also ordered the pork belly with jalapeño sauce, which was a perfect glaze and the chicken entrée was yummy. The waitress brought me a most lovely Sauvignon Blanc out of intuition. I'm going back very soon because I don't think I'll rest until I try everything on that menu which was extensive - see you again soon Zachary's! read more

My friends baby shower was here and it was lovely! The restaurant was open just for our party. The space itself is modern and has a nice vibe to it. The space definitely worked well for the shower too. They have a large circular bar that was open for drinks and they made a killer red sangria! Yum! The food was so good! We had cream of chicken soup and then a choice between chicken and salmon for the entree. Our whole table picked the chicken, so I did not get to see what the salmon looked like, but my friend said it was good! The cream of chicken soup was delicious. It has a spice in it, like maybe some cumin? It gave it a smoky/spicy (But not hot spicy) quality that was very good. The bread came out hot and fresh to go with it. It was served with a yummy herbed butter. I could've eaten that all day long! The chicken was super big, well cooked and very crispy. It was topped with arugula and tomato and a vinaigrette too, I believe. The chicken needed a bit more salt to take it over the top but it was still really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place for a meal or event! read more

I ordered a potpie for lunch, and it was the worst thing I had ever seen. I was completely water downed and had no flavor for the actual potpie filling. The Hostess Barb was not particularly helpful when I called to return the pot pie. I will never order one again, or anything else for that matter. read more

Very nice restaurant and excellent customer service. The restaurant is located in a strip mall off of Ridgeland in Palos Heights and there is a plentiful parking. When you enter you are captivated by the ambiance of this place. All tables are covered with white tablecloth, they offer a private room, a huge wrap around bar and outdoor patio area. In addition to their menu, the restaurant offers a ton of daily specials. Our server and attendant was very responsive to our requests and everything we had was fresh and very well made. The bread and butter, oysters and fish of the day was excellent. We enjoyed the ambiance, the food and the service. This was my first visit and I have already been back again. Nice staple restaurant in the community and offers great food with great service. read more

Zachary's Grill delivers an exceptional dining experience. The food and service was amazing and our server, Danielle, was awesome. This was my first visit and I can't wait to return. Everything we ordered was spectacular and I'm so glad we dined here last night. I'll be sure to take photos of the food next time. Barb, the hostess, was very accommodating when I called to change the reservation and she was just as sweet in person. We ended up staying long after we finished our meal. There's something about Zachary's Grill that makes you want to stay. It could be the gorgeous decor, the excellent food, the cocktails or the great service. Not sure but we had an excellent time last night. read more

Amazing! Atmosphere is upscale and beautiful. My family and I went here for my Dads birthday. There were 6 of us and we ALL loved it! The bread that they make fresh is the best bread I have ever had in my life. I could seriously go there just for the bread! Not to mention the butter they serve with it is out of this world! All the food was hot and the steaks were cooked to perfection! The host at the door checked up on us a few times to make sure we were good and was very personable and funny! Prices were really good for the quality of food and atmosphere! Zacharys is definitely on our list now for weekend dining out! read more

Zachary's Grill - Rude and off-putting service!! - Seafood Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Everything went well, the service was good and the food was great. I would go back again.

Zachary's aesthetically is a beautiful place. The service is pretty great as well. The food was underwhelming. We ordered fried calamari which tasted like the oil was not hot enough before putting it in. We also ordered the artichoke/spinach dip. It lacked flavor. Need some garlic or something. The fried pita felt like we could ring the grease out of it while still being super crunchy which was strange. The baked potato was good (hard to screw up), asparagus was limp and overcooked. The steak compared to most places was eh. We both agreed we would not be back. Very disappointed. We really wanted to love it. read more

This is a lovely setting for dinner or lunch. My sisters and I loved the Westgate salad and soups. I loved the French onion soup and will get it again soon. I'm happy to have Zachary's in my town read more

I don't even know where to begin how perfect my daughter's shower was at Zachary's . I cannot say enough about the staff, food, drinks, friendliness, accomodations - I can go on and on. My guests all agreed it was one of the best places to have a shower and they could not stop saying how great the food was too. I have to say no one left hungry or thirsty! Again, thank you for dealing with all my questions/concerns so fast and friendly. I will definitely recommend Zachary for any private events and the restaurant too! read more

I hosted my son and his girlfriend's baby shower yesterday at Zachary's Grill. This was my first time here but I chose it because it was highly recommended to me by close friends. They were so very easy to work with and made the whole experience pleasant from booking, setup, to the cleanup. The place is beautiful, modern and very ascetically pleasing inside. The staff was very friendly and well trained. Zach the owner was such a nice and down to earth guy. The food was absolutely amazing everyone could not stop raving how delicious everything was. I choose the ultimate buffet and everything was amazing from the French toast, the pasta with vodka sauce, to the eggs Benedict (which I usually don't like but this was so delicious), and the champagne chicken, which everyone agreed was the highlight of the brunch. As a result of such a wonderful experience, my husband and I plan to go back for dinner and I will host my daughter's wedding shower here later this year. read more

Patio area was nice. Server was good, but forgot that we ordered an appetizer and she brought the soup a short while after the appetizer. Our food was good, but one in our party ordered the filet cooked medium, and it was a little tough. The baked goat cheese appetizer is not to be missed. It was so good! read more

We chose Zachary's for my husband's 80th birthday dinner with our children and grandchildren. Our group numbered 17. From the planning stages right through to the candlelit cake, we were treated wonderfully. Our dinner table was placed in the private room. Cindy was our server and she made all the difference. Of course the food was wonderful, as expected, and the service was first class. Cindy anticipated our every move and facilitated our dining with her skill and professionalism. Our family was delighted with the dinner and the service. Cindy's close attention to every detail made this birthday memorable and spectacular. We were comfortable in Zachary's beautiful space and enjoyed delicious dinners. I ordered two cakes made in house and received many compliments which I'm now passing along to the pastry chef. Thank you to the management and staff and especially to Cindy. We will most definitely be back! read more

My husband and I came here for the first time for a special occasion and it did not disappoint. We were slightly early, so we had a drink at the bar. The bartender was extremely nice and my husband was very pleased with the martini she made. I enjoyed my drink while admiring the decor. Absolutely loved the way this space was decorated! Also, the lights on the bar were very cool. We were seated and our server was Cindy. She was a sweetheart. Very helpful and accommodating. The bread we were given was delicious as was the whipped butter. Everything from our appetizer to our entrees was superb. Steak was cooked to perfection. We split cheesecake for dessert. The presentation was very nice and it was creamy and delicious. We both agreed we will definitely be back. read more

Walked in on a Sunday night as new customers around 5:15pm. We were immediately seated (outside- back patio is very nice) and menus given, water poured. That's were things started to go downhill. It was not crowded, but it took awhile to have a server come by and take our drink order. She finally came back with our drinks after 10 minutes (2 beers) and took off without asking if we had questions or to ask if we were ready to order. 5 minutes later I was about to flag her down to put in an appetizer order. By now it's 5:40. I had to flag her down again around 6 so we could put in our entree orders, around 6:10 or so our appetizer came out and was cold (meatballs). Dinner didn't get to us until almost 7. Entrees were excellent but it took forever to get the check, pay and get out of there. A+ for ambience A for food D for service. read more

My wife and I went here last night (wife's first time) and I have to tell you it was incredibly good. It's one of those places for us is a little out of our way, but it is worth the drive. We started out with an appetizer of beef tenderloin strips, and Gorgonzola. It was delicious chunks of tender beef tenderloin cooked in amazing sauce with shallots, garlic, topped with melted Gorgonzola cheese. I could have made a meal out of this. It was served with delicious garlic bread cooked to perfection. Our entrées came with the choice of soup or salad, and we chose the soup of the day which was sweet and sour cabbage soup. I thought it was perfect. My wife thought it may be a little bit too sweet but you couldn't tell because there was nothing left in her bowl. For our entrées, I went with Zacks schnitzel. It was the most tender flavorful moist schnitzel cooked in this lemony garlic sauce with an incredible light crust. It came with braised, red cabbage, and mashed potatoes. I couldn't stop eating it. My wife went with the Sole Milanese. It was perfectly cooked in a Panko Parmesan crust, topped with the most delicious arugula salad. My wife was going to order a salad with her entrée but Cindy suggested she get the soup because the salad that tops the sole is huge and it was. I'm not a big fan of arugula but my wife said it was fantastic. OK enough with the food. I think you get the idea we liked it, let's talk about our service. It was one of the best services we had in a long time. Our server/bartender Cindy was friendly and accommodating, attentive and overall just a nice person. If you'd like to sit at a bar when you eat, Zachary's has a huge long bar and it's very inviting, they have an incredible outdoor patio if you like to eat outside and the dining room is very comfortable if you're a table person. I would highly recommend this restaurant , you will not be disappointed. The menu isn't huge but a nice variety,something for everyone. I have been here several times, but it was my wife's first time, needless to say we will be back. Love this place! read more

Never had a bad meal. Great family atmosphere. Am going this week with cousins I haven't seen in years. Can't wait!
