Zaxby's- Melbourne, FL- 4 Stars (Fast Food Edition)…read more "If I'm not back in five minutes...just wait longer!"-- Jim Carrey Is it safe to come out of the house now? I'm not sure if it's still Covid season or if we have moved on to Riot season, but nonetheless, I have to get out of the damn house! I am not trying to make this a political post, just an observational one on where we have been as a country for the past year and a half or so. Returning from my Federally and Locally imposed exile, I was saddened to see all the boarded-up eateries and not just because I love to eat, but rather for the loss of personal dreams and accomplishments that each boarded up building represented. With that heavily on my mind, I thought the best place to get back on the mound would be a chain that survived the National Shut Down. Located on the corner of Jordan Blass Dr. and Wickham Rd. this Zaxby's is right across the street from the Pineda Landings Shopping Plaza in the Suntree area of Melbourne, Fl. While I found the dining area to be spotlessly clean albeit desolate, the ability my server Rachel demonstrated in carrying out her duties was severely impaired, and she might do better on the fryer than serving customers. After a few moments of excruciating frustration, I was finally able to get my order across and sat back to wait for my Chicken Strip Basket to arrive. With the employees masked and the immaculate condition of the dining area, it was clear to me they are taking their patrons health, as well as their employees seriously in this Pandemic Reality in which we find ourselves. It wasn't too long before Rachel returned with my offerings. As one can see by the pictures, the chicken was perfectly fried. It was an eye-catching golden brown on the outside and oh so tender and juicy on the inside. I must also add that their sauce is unfreakinreal good!! Seriously, it was all I could do not to grab a handful and make a run for it. The Big Boy, says, "If you're dying to get out and hankerin' for some amazing fried chicken, albeit fast food chicken, and tantalizing sauce, head on over to Zaxby's. You won't be disappointed."

When I picked up my first slice all of the toppings slid off and I was left with a thin, floppy slice of crust. The crust was good, and crispy when I got to the edges, but every component of the pizza including toppings, and sauce could've used a healthy sprinkling of salt. Despite all of the toppings it was kind of lacking in flavor. I remedied this by adding salt and sticking my slices in the air fryer to make them sturdy enough to support their toppings, and it was delicious.

It's a large flour tortilla filled with filet tip beef Colorado, refried beans and rice, smothered with its own savory sauce and melted cheese. The beef Colorado is always tender and very tasty! It's quite delicious and the portions are so huge that I usually take half of it home to eat the following day. At $16.99 it's a good buy! Check this place out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

What has greatly suffered however is the experience and ambiance. Don't get me wrong. The service also is still very good to excellent. The building design and decoration and paint looks and feels cold, industrial and unfriendly the floors look like unfinished concrete, the tables and wooden benches don't have a quality feel. It lacks character, charm and warmth. As much ch as I love the sandwiches and raquet fries and the service I just can't shake the stark industrial ambiance and feel. The outside feels a bit better but just marginally and it's just too darn hot to eat outside most of the year. Both old locations had charm and energy and a friendly flair about them. The ambiance is 2 stars but because the sandwiches are still great and service was good to great I'll still give four stars. Unfortunately I won't be coming by very often and won't choose it as a place to bring friends or employees or clients to for a bite and a drink or two. I hope an upgrade will be in the cards.

The food for our larger party came out hot and fresh and pretty quickly! I thought the chicken cheesesteak was interesting. Definitely not what I'm used to in the Philly area, but still tasty nonetheless. The chicken tenders were perfectly crispy and the waffle fries were heaven. I love the casual seating outside and the slightly more elevated, brightly lit, indoor seating as well. The bathrooms were clean and well lit.

Wonderful service!

Baci is definitely hidden gem in the strip mall. There is also ample parking too. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles, the bartender Melissa was probably one of the nicest bartenders I have ever met anywhere (and I've been to a lot of restaurants). Melissa is warm and welcoming and she makes a really good martini. I had Melissa make a limoncello martini and I had her add lavender which was amazing! The blood orange martini was also very good and the nutty old-fashioned, blackberry, martini, and chocolate martini (without the hazelnut) were all delicious too. You can tell the bartender Melissa really enjoys her job and she told me so! There is also clearly regulars that come to this restaurant for a reason that were very nice and welcoming too. I liked this place so much that I went two nights in a row before coming back to Chicago. Baci offers various specials through throughout the week and they keep their prices fairly reasonable. The garlic knots are very good that come with the entrées. The Baci ball appetizer was very good too, which was dough deep fried with a meatball and pesto sauce. The marinara that comes with it is also fresh and delicious. The eggplant Rotolo was fantastic (with the vodka sauce substitution) but the marinara sauce is just as delicious and ample for two people. I recommend the pasta on the side for an up-charge. The next night, I tried the chicken piccata, which did not compare to the eggplant Rotolo. This is a no-frills cozy pizza and pasta restaurant with a great cozy bar. I will definitely continue to come back when I'm visiting Florida, which is often as this is one of my new favorite restaurants when visiting this part of Florida. This restaurant definitely earned their five stars! If you have not tried this restaurant, I would absolutely come visit them (especially if you can find a seat at the bar as they get busy), you will not be disappointed!
