CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Zack is back!
The Zack's Special is making its debut at Olde Mecklenburg Brewery Wednesday.
Zack's Hamburgers was one of Charlotte's most iconic burger joints. The no-frills burger restaurant had been at the corner of South Boulevard and Scaleybark since 1975 and has been run by the Demopolous family all those years.
The restaurant is known best for the Zack's Special, which they tout as the "Burger of Burgers." Zack's is also known for its onion rings and classic milkshakes.
Demopolous told WCNC Charlotte the family made the decision to close down due to struggles from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Olde Mecklenburg said they're going to use all of the same ingredients, so for fans of the classic burger joint, it will taste just like you remembered it.
