We eat there 1-2 times a week and have recently discovered that the steaks are great and can't be beat. Cooked just the way you like.

Very unassuming front in strip mall. Obviously where all the locals go for really good, hometown dinners. Chicken was nice and juicy with a nice browned breast. Baked potato was very tasty. Cole slaw was creamy with a nice light, sweet taste. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day and got right in. Our waitress was very attentive, knew the menu well, and she was prompt. I have nothing but positive things to say about the server. The decor is dated, not what I was expecting in a steak house. There are TVs all around playing older shows and the dining rooms are due for a refresh. Regarding the food, good food but not great. Not better than any other steak houses in Kingsport but not worse, either. We both got Ribeye steaks and at least 4 of the 12 oz steak was fat (not a big fan of that much fat). The seasoning on the steak was solid S & P and it was cooked well. We upgraded to the salad and enjoyed their salad very much, especially their homemade dressings. The sides were casual but well prepared. Overall, not a bad experience but still not what we have been looking for in the Tri Cities area. read more

Service was great, food was tasty. We will definitely be coming back and will try other things.

Very clean and the server was attentive and kind. The food was underwhelming. The salmon was extremely dry with little seasoning. Rice was undercooked and potatoes were oily. Alfredo was good but not particularly noteworthy. Best part of our meals was the garlic toast. We probably won't be back. read more

Came to Zachary's at lunch on a Thursday. Ordered great burgers and onion rings. Staff was kind and courteous. Owner is onsite and comes out to check on things. Would recommend for a casual burger! read more

Good homestyle cooking. Nice, quiet atmosphere. Owner usually present and greets guests read more

Great burgers, steak tips and sides. Highly recommend. Everything is cooked fresh, to order, so it's worth the time to wait for it to be cooked fresh. read more

My wife and I were there for our anniversary date . I ordered the fettuccini with steak and she ordered the Ribeye . Her ribeye came out raw... barely cooked and my medium steak came out well done and grey . We complained about our meal and the chef , Luis, came out and very rudely talked to my wife. He made up an excuse that it's hard to cook a steak medium rare and evidently medium as well . He stood over my wife and belittled her when she said she didn't feel safe eating the steak. The fettuccine was salty but edible ....the rest of the service was very lack luster as the waitress disappeared and never refilled our drinks. (Others had too) Worst experience for an anniversary night and we will not be back! read more

Zachary's - Raw steak - Seafood Near Me - Kingsport, Tennessee

The food was excellent, our steaks were seasoned good and the shrimp was golden and tasted great! The service was good but the waitress was either tired or didn't have a personality. She seemed ho-hum about being there. Maybe she had something going on who knows! Anyway the great food made up for anything else that was lacking. The decor was nice and the restaurant was very clean! Would recommend! read more

A Steakhouse and More!! A great place to take people with diverse appetites- many non-steak choices. I truly order something different every time I go there. The prices are much lower than some other chain steakhouses. Our server was charming, and on top of things, getting us out in time for a movie. The restaurant is bright and clean. It is not a 'smoky ambiance', but I actually like to see my food! read more

Dinner was very good. Basic homemade food but we'll prepared. Friendly staff, very laid back.

The service was not good, they were busy but our waitress dropped off our drinks and said she'd be right back to take our order and we waited for a while before finally asking if she forgot about us. She was at least honest and said that she had because she had got busy. It was a school spirit night for the PTA so it was probably busier than normal. The food was just so-so. I got a steak and salad. The salad was fine. The steak had a weird flavor. read more

So I finally found a chicken fried steak in the area that wasn't some pre-frozen food service crap. I read an article that talked about how the owners demand everything there be made from scratch. This seems to be true. I had some home fries with it that were well done, obviously created fresh, and uniquely made. So rare these days to find restaurants actually cooking instead of just finishing off prepacked food products. Give this place a try! P.S. The chicken fried steak was a Tuesday special, I wonder if its available all week. Also, there was a sign saying they would be closed on weekends from now on. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Love the atmosphere! The steak in the Philly cheese steak was cooked perfectly!

It ok - prices are modest. Staff is kind and attentive. Helpings are fare but nothing spectacular.

No strip steak on the menu so I ordered sirloin med-rare. It came out medium , cold, and flavorless. Other family members had burgers, they seemed to like those really well. read more

The service here is great and the steaks and burgers are excellent. The breakfast is really good as well. I've not eaten anything at Zachary's that I did not like. read more

It's pretty bad when their salad was the best thing . Steaks were tough , food was cold, fries weren't seasoned good, and we waited awhile before even getting asked for a drink . I'd put a zero but I had to put one AVOID THIS PLACE read more

Great small restaurant! It is very clean and this could be noticed the moment you step into the restaurant. The place is decorated nicely. It is more of a casual restaurant than a formal but it is very comfortable. The food came out quickly. I got sirloin tip (and mushroom gravy) with mashed potatoes and green beans. It tasted great. It had the right amount of seasoning. The prices were reasonable and worth it to pay for the meal. The server was very kind and patient. She did not rush me. I would definitely come here again. read more

Several friends recommended Zachary's to us, and we're glad they did because otherwise we wouldn't know about it! Its strip mall location makes it hard to find, and isn't quite what you'd expect for a steakhouse. We were seated immediately, and our server joined us promptly. I opted for an 8 ounce ribeye cooked medium, fried okra, and green beans. My steak was slightly past medium, but was still juicy and flavorful. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Mr. Laine's New York strip was also slightly past what he'd ordered, but he still enjoyed it. Service was pleasant but minimal, and the prices are reasonable. However, the atmosphere was essentially non-existent, and seemed far too casual to suit a steakhouse. That said, the facility is impeccably clean. Don't go expecting a five star experience, but do go! What Zachary's does, they do perfectly. read more

Happened upon this little jewel while visiting Kingsport. Read the reviews and thought it was worth a try. It was AMAZING! Small place, casual atmosphere, very clean! Staff was very friendly. Food was phenomenal! Had the BEST deep fried pickles I think I've ever eaten. Steaks were cooked to order. We will definitely be back read more

What a nice place. Clean, clean, clean! Food is great. Staff is friendly but depending on the day and time, the lone wait staff can be swamped but gets it done. Prime rib sandwich is melt in your mouth awesome. Actually, we haven't had anything we didn't like yet. Reasonably priced, good service. We'll be back. read more

We were visiting Kingsport and found Zachary's on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It is definitely in a random strip center but the food and service were great! We would definitely come back. This place is a perfect example of "don't judge the book by the cover" read more

Great little place! Beef tips are super as is their white fish. The thousand island dressing is awesome! Different deals daily and all the sides are good too! Definitely comfort foods! read more

The atmosphere was wonderful, the bathrooms smelt clean, i got the grilled salmon it was good in all but it was a little crispy

Horrible food, it was cold and old owner is rude, seems to have s problem with understanding how to comp a meal we will never be back!!

Every meal I've had at Zachary's has been excellent. The Beef Tips are amazing. Everything is made in-house, including desserts.

It was amazing!! The food was great and quick to come out! Great experience! Highly recommend this place for a quick, yummy meal!

Good food, steaks done right, if you are staying at a local motel, mention it. You might get a discount.
