    Got the 5" sandwich special for a steal!  $7.57 for the Sammy, French fries and a drink.  Hot! Tasty! Good deal!
    Eve S.

    This place is in a bit of a strange spot but...the food is awesome! Fries are always fresh and tasty. Tons of variety for the cheesesteak sandwiches and they hit the spot. Service is quick and workers are friendly. Stays pretty busy at lunch but that's because they run some good specials. Great place to hit for a lunch break.

    Well, pull off the freeway. Had a run to go to Dallas. Thought I'd stop by and try their Philly cheesesteak. The location was clean. The service was good. And the Philly cheesesteak was average. The one cool thing about ordering a Philly cheesesteak from here. I said you can put any type of sides that you want on your order. I would recommend this place. Something quick and easy. This place will fill your stomach up no need to order fries get to 10 inch.

    Always good here. Best cheesesteaks and this ain't even Philly. That mix up I did with cheddar, jalapeño, onions made it taste even better

    Fresh&Hot everytime! The combo with half Philly and 4 piece wing is my go-to and comes out perfect

    Been living in this area for over 10yrs and always see the billboard sign for this place. The Philly steak sandwich in the pic looks delicious and after reading some of the reviews, I finally decided to stop by. The place is small, nothing fancy bout it. Kind of plain Jane but at least it was clean. But it's all bout the food. The staff was very nice and friendly. I ordered the 5" Philly-z with all the toppings (mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, banana peppers) and pepper jack cheese. It was delish. Best part of combo. The combo came with fries or onion rings and a fountain drink. Total was $11 and some change. Pricing was good/fair. I ordered the onion rings bc most of the reviews I read raved bout them. But unfortunately that was my least fave part of the combo. They just weren't crispy enough, more so like the moisture got to them. As for flavor, I didn't taste anything special bout them. Think I'm going to put them in the air fryer at hm and let them crisp up some, then they'll be better. They also had a jalapeño ranch dip and I think the other is a house sauce called Zach's something. Both were ok. The sandwich really didn't need any sauce anyway, it was delish on its own. Bread was soft, and not too much bread which let the meat shine more. Overall I'd go back. Give them another chance on getting those onion rings crisper. But I'd also like to try the sweet potato fries.

    This place is . So I was at my homegirls home in DeSoto and got hungry. After driving around I decided to try this place. I had a taste for a homemade hamburger and I'm soooo glad I came to this place. Now the place could be looked at as a whole in the wall possibly but the food was the BEST and that kitchen was CLEAN! The burger was big and juicy. Cheese melted just right, fried was hot and seasoned steak fries. I devoured that food . The service was very good as the cashier guy was very nice and attentive. The food was good and hot and this will be my new eating place when I'm in DeSoto. Highly recommend 10/10.

    I had never had a Philly steak sandwich before coming to Zac's. Everyone is so nice and always smiling. If you like service and good food, you'll love this place. They are always busy, but the aura is just laid back. No drama. Always busy, but they keep the food coming out quick. My fave part is all of the veggies offered and the "no cheese" sandwich. Just good. My husband loves his food too. The shakes are his fave too. Ambiance is great. Will be back. Have been back and must say it's better to get yours at least an hour or 2 before they close. 2 - 10" sandwiches Fries Onion rings 2- shakes Plenty for 4. $30 more or less

    Double cheeseburger with onion rings.
    Marvin W.

    The burger was huge but tasty! I couldn't finish it all. The onion rings were also good, but I didn't like the ranch dressing.

    Chop cheese
    Wil G.

    The worst chop cheese I've ever had. Put the cheese on the bun and not mixed with the ground beef. No seasoning . Fries were ok . Probably won't be back . Highly disappointed

    Great spot to grab a cheesesteak. The bread was soft and the steak was juicy. I had mine with mushrooms and provolone. I highly recommend you check it out.

    Honest Review Restaurant: 4/5…read more The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it has a nice atmosphere. They also have outdoor seating, which is a plus. The music wasn't too loud, so it was easy to have a conversation with both our server and the people at our table. They had the UFC and a soccer match playing while we ate, which made for a fun environment. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because my husband thought the restrooms could use an upgrade. We also had our two small children with us, and they immediately offered us a high chair. They have menu options for kids as well, which was appreciated. Food & Drinks: 3/5 I'm always on the hunt for really good Mexican and Tex-Mex food, especially tacos. I don't think the food was bad at all, but some of the dishes reminded me of bar food, which tends to be on the salty side to encourage customers to order more drinks. I asked my husband what he thought because I'm generally not a fan of salty food, and he agreed with me on some of the dishes. The tacos were well presented and had a generous amount of meat. The beans were delicious, but the rice was a little too salty for our taste. The salsas also needed more heat--especially the classic orange salsa. It should have had a lot more kick! They were also a bit salty. I did enjoy the quesabirrias, and I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu. I ordered a margarita on the rocks, and I really enjoyed it. I'm usually not a fan of margaritas because they're often too sour or too salty, but this one was well balanced. Service: 5/5 (Me) | 4/5 (My Husband) I thought the service was excellent. The servers were very attentive, and that's always something I appreciate. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived, and two different servers checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. My husband joked that they came by a little too often because he just wanted to eat without interruptions. Even so, he agreed that the service was very good. They even made fresh lemonade for our kids, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall I'm not sure how long they've been open, but it's a nice spot with a welcoming atmosphere. They also have a bar area, so we'll probably come back to try more of their drinks and other menu items. I always believe newer businesses benefit from constructive feedback, and that's the spirit of this review. Overall, I think they're doing a good job. I'd recommend giving them a try--maybe order a couple of items first and see if it's your kind of place. Everyone's taste is different, and you may end up finding a new favorite

    Our first time trying this place and everything we ate was DELICIOUS!…read more My husband had tripas tacos served with rice and beans (the charro beans were so good) I had the beefsteak torta and fries. Super tasty sandwich that was big enough to feed 2 people. My daughter had the chilaquiles with birria. Lots of flavor and she enjoyed it. We will be back to support this local restaurant in Duncanville, happy to find this great place!

    I went with friends yesterday to Hillside social for a birthday monthly celebration. I was…read moreimpressed as soon as I pulled up the outside looks very regal and statuesque and then the ambience inside is beautiful. It has a tropical southern classic feel. I I decided to get the butterfly cocktail. Really I wasn't impressed with it. It was not strong, came in a plastic cup and was underwhelming. I shared food with friends. We got the fried catfish and shrimp combo with mashed potatoes. We also got the suya beef skewers with sautéed vegetables and macaroni and cheese and greens. I was most impressed with the fried catfish. It was delicious and I'd recommend it. You won't be disappointed. The mashed potato were ok. The greens and macaroni and cheese were tasty. The service was good. Our server did a good job with our large group. Be aware if you have a large group gratuity will be included. On Sunday the entertainment is Don Diego jazz band. Overall it was a great time and a place with many photo opportunities.

    Came for a last minute date night on a Thursday. Loved the decor and the staff was uber attentive…read more On Thursdays they have r&b bingo and regular bingo. It was fun and the music vibe was great. My only dislike on bingo was that they gave away the answers (but I can be a little competitive so most people probably like that). As for the food, they have decent happy hour selections and happy hour lasts all night on Thursdays. We ordered the catfish nuggets, suya, and deviled eggs. The last two were not on HH but were well priced. I enjoyed each dish but thought the suya steak could be slightly more tender. I definitely plan to return and to bring others as it seems like a fun spot.
