Zack's has a nice atmosphere; brunch is quiet enough to catch up with friends and during the day the entire bar looks beautiful. The food was simple and to the point. The steak was a little overdone. I particularly loved the lemon ricotta pancakes. I just wish they had a mimosas offering (bottomless maybe?)

Customer service was excellent and the drinks were yummy! If you're looking for a cozy restaurant to take your girlfriend this spot is perfect. The drinks were delicious and the food was tasty!! We can't wait to go back but I'd pass on the calamari app!

One of my favorite spots in Hoboken. The food is great, and the service is fast. However, the cocktails could use some improvement, and it is a bit pricier than some other places. I also wish they had a better takeout system so I could enjoy their food more often.

Zacks is always a go-to for me! Can't go wrong with the burger and fries. My friend tried the Short Rib sandwich and loved it.

Absolutely Fabulous!! Delicious food, people are great, we loved the experience. We had the brisket egg rolls and had to order a second. I enjoyed everything about this place.

I came here on a Friday night with a group of friends for dinner. We made a reservation in advance to avoid wait times and were seated right away. The food here was great! We ordered a few apps to share family style as there were decent sized portions. The place is a bit small so expect a cozy feel!

I went with my partner to Zach's for dinner on a Friday evening for our anniversary & we had a blast. It's been some weeks now so I don't remember our server's name but she was very friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the menu. The music selection was great but not too loud. Seemed to be of a younger crowd (20s-30s) but that isn't a bad thing for me. Our drinks were made very well & came out in a timely fashion. Appetizer was delicious and the big portions made it fantastic to share. The dinner?! SUPERB. I'm someone who typically gets bloated after a heavy meal of pasta & seafood but my linguine was truly refreshing. I had a glass of white wine after my mule and I didn't feel sluggish at all! My boyfriend couldn't stop raving about his lamb bolognese (I didn't try it b/c I only eat seafood/pescatarian) I think for date night, small birthday dinner, or just a night out, Zach's is a great choice. Arrive earlier than planned because you'll have to look for street parking. There was absolutely nothing about this night that the staff could improve on. Everything was amazing!

(Dined 06/16/2024 SU @ 1:00pm): Gather your friends and head over to Zack's for brunch or simply hit the bar! My friend's colleague/friend recommended Zack's Oak Bar And Restaurant for brunch https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AyIYNrArABEuTeuU486vgg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw after I arrived in town as a place we all wanted to try. While I continued to visit a dear friend of mine and found work in the surrounding areas, I wanted to explore the cuisine scene and leave my footprint for others to hopefully enjoy. I loved brunching as much as the next person, and this place came highly recommended, so why not give them a try. Would Zack impress us with his bar and restaurant!? PURCHASE Hudson Spritz ($15.00): A proper way to begin brunch... an effervescent easy breezy sweet sparkling cocktail - cheers! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gzFK2WmzFl5P95pUE5qxCQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Fiddlehead Brewing Co. Fiddlehead IPA Beer 16floz Draft ($11.00): Hazy rich amber color, citrusy dank hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy flavor, clean dry finish, and smooth citrusy hoppy aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=QAL2FbBvia1Equi1mZ575Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Short Ribs Spring Rolls w/Five Spice Sauce 4pc ($15.00): Stuffed with shredded meat and rolled in a light crispy crunchy wrapping, these were tasty and wonderful. Sadly, the dipping sauce wasn't fully utilized but necessary either. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Aioaxg-9vlHFZqp8jeF3jg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Mac & Cheese ($16.00): A ton of small pasta shells bathed in a creamy cheese sauce mixed with finely-chopped shallots, this dish came in fast, hot, and I couldn't have enough of it. Now... if it only had some bacon pieces! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OXyV8KFIV4BPE8EzHruwNw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Brisket Blend Burger ($22.00): Made with strips of bacon, roasted tomato, the succulent thick patty wrapped in cheddar and provolone, pickled red onion, cornichon aioli, presented open-faced on a toasted bun, and served with a pickle spear and herb seasoned thin fries, this impressive two-hander had juices run down onto my chin after each bite. The fries were good and plentiful but nothing special. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BggyODwIbdZ4lSQsbjmfpQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Credit Card Fee 3.00% Total Bill ($6.00): I understand why more businesses are adding this as a matter of standard operating procedure; I just wished they made it more explicitly known prior to ordering. SERVICE We made reservations, so we easily got seated next to the bar with sidewalk people-watching views. We had glasses of water delivered as we perused the menu. We placed our drink which arrived quickly, and once we placed our good order, it all came out less than ten minutes later. More drinks were ordered, the staff checked on us and cleared away dishes, and when it was time to settle the bill, that was quick and painless. Everything went smoothly - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) My friend and I walked a few minutes from the nearby Trader Joe's. We initially hopped on the 2nd St. Light Rail Station, got off the next stop at 9th St./Congress St. Station. I couldn't recall any private or public lots; however, there seemed to be decent street parking along the main drag of Willow Ave. and surrounding roads. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A surprisingly spacious interior layout with high tables in the bar area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=q_y3px7aQNKGizzGPFDr1w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw while leather barstools lined the bar, many tables in a separate back section, and several tables with umbrellas outside along the sidewalk. The decor had a very old period feel. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front windows and doors while bright electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a couple TVs at the bar while no music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qP5UWu3518OpvHpVraNgtQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Zack's Oak Bar And Restaurant was a wonderful first meal on this latest trip and would definitely return. Sure, I felt things were a bit pricey; however, everything I drank, ate, and tasted was blissfully wonderful with very good portion sizes. And, the service was perfectly fine. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience FOR MY PORTION was around $84.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit cards of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
