    Newer is not always better. They have a beautiful new, very clean building. Health Dept score I saw was 97. Lots of staff and all working hard to take care of their customers. But, it was so disappointing! You now order from a menu at your table. The waitress was in too big a hurry to let us order all we wanted. I'm sure that saved us money, but didn't help Zach's sales. Monday was catfish. They don't mention that it was bone in and tasteless. Fried Okra was over cooked and tasteless. Mac and cheese could have come from a box. Tomatoes and okra was great! Choc pie was good too. If you can get the waitress to slow down enough to order it. Husband said country fried steak was good. As was mashed potatoes and green beans. Not great just good. We try to plan our trips to be able to eat a Zach's.... Coming and going if possible...... that's probably going to change!

    meatloaf, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese

    The service was good friendly and helpful. The food was so so. I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Also Banana pudding. The meatloaf was in on the drier side and in pieces. The mashed potatoes were good. The Mac an cheese had no flavor. No seasoning on it. I didn't get my banana pudding. Probably won't go back because it cost over 14.00 not worth it to me.

    a great place to eat home cooking from family recipes going back a hundred years. A destination experience where usually Zack and his wife Diane will greet you personally. You will feel like you are having a meal with family.

    The best fix for Southern country cookin' in Dothan! They're packed usually depending on what time of the hour you head there for lunch. Lines and queue are worth the wait. Once you get in you grab a tray(almost cafeteria style) and you pick your protein for the day along with 2-3 sides of your choosing. Anything extra can be added on also. Once you get to the table then you'll get a waitress that'll ask for your drink orders. Love the friendly atmosphere and the food is definitely worth it! Every time my husband and I are back visiting, we always have to come to Zack's!

    Got a recommendation from the Alabama welcome Center employee to go here. It's a diamond in disguise!! It's a little bit of a wait to get into this restaurant, definitely worth it. Staff is very friendly and helpful, country food at its best! I'm gonna have to come back just to try the sides and the food I didn't get to try... Definitely stop here if you wind up in this area.

    Country fried steak with white gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, creamed corn, green beans, salad, corn bread, drink, less than $10.

    This is a five star down-home country cooking experience for sure. It is served cafeteria style and in huge portions so don't worry about leaving hungry. It was voted best "meat and three" place in the state of Alabama recently. After-tax it is still less than $10 for a regular plate which includes a meat, three sides, a dessert, and a even a drink. You can trade the dessert for a salad or side. There are plenty of choices for everything. It's not like they just have fried chicken and one other thing to choose from for the meat. Last time I went they had fried chicken, beef tips, catfish, chicken fingers, or country fried steak to choose from. Plenty of variety for the sides as well. If you are driving through Dothan you have to stop here if you're hungry. But please note it is only open for lunch.
