The food was good, the service was a little grumpy, but it seems they are understaffed. We got the nachos and artichoke dip, which were all good.

Lovely setting so close yet you don't even know you right in the middle of everything fairbanks has to offer alright.

Tired of seeing the same people over and over? Want to feel like you are travelling but without the expense? Go to Zach's and you will feel transported to another place. Comfy booths, strong coffee. Quiet and calm atmosphere. If you are a work from home person who is looking for a quiet place with food and internet and you won't be bothered, this might be your new go to spot. I didn't see any outlets but I would bet there are at least two tables here where you could also plug in. I like the fresh take on the corned beef hash. Friendly service. If you can't find me, I'm probably here, on my laptop drinking strong coffee and eating yummy food.

Good food and drinks....great place to have a cozy dinner with friends

Great well priced food. outstanding staff and very welcoming.

Nice atmosphere. And the food was good..

I stopped in here with a friend twice during a recent trip to Fairbanks. We dropped in for a late dinner one night and breakfast another morning. Service was great both times, the evening server was more engaging but both were great. The nachos were excellent and were a great late dining choice. In the evening hours the lounge is the only space open which feels like a cross between a nice - but not fancy, it is Fairbanks! - restaurant and a sports bar. It was comfortable and laid back. I am a big fan of corned beef hash as a breakfast food, and Zach’s was the best I have had, by far. No complaints, this is a solid choice any time of day.

We are staying at Sophie Station and saw the menu in our elevator so decided to give Zach’s a try. This is a small hotel restaurant. The prices are average for Alaska and the portion sizes were big. I had the French dip and it was a little salty. My kids had the chicken Caesar salad and the jambalaya pasta. The salad was delicious but the pasta was a little underwhelming. My fiancé had the New York Strip which was tasty and served with veggies and mashed potatoes. We ordered desserts to go and our favorite was the peanut butter pie.

Fantastic waitress. Food overall ok.

It’s food. Not worth going out for.
