ABOUT US

FAMILY OWNED and OPERATED, SINCE 1986

An integral part of Zak’s Diner is having an owner in store. In order to accomplish this with the growth of our business we have also grown our ownership, making partners of long standing employees and staff, ensuring there is an owner / operator in each store. And that’s how the Zak’s family continues to grow.
