    Terrible
    David M.

    A lot of kids there just standing around talking and it takes several minutes for them to decide to come attend to you.. place still smells brand new and food is goood but it's crazy how when I come in there my tenders always seem To look like nuggets.. for try to price this is unacceptable and people pay for fresh chicken there is not a point to give lukewarm chicken to customers..

    $10 chicken fries and drink

    So not many choices outside of chicken fingers but they were pretty good kind of size and battered like zaxbys use to. The price is a little ridiculous for what I got but the food was ok made to order and like I said the chicken was spot on

    Guthries is the best chicken around! And the sauce is better than zaxbys in my opinion.

    My experience at every single Zaxby's is pretty poor, but cartersville location by the hospital is…read moreBY FAR the WORST. In the past couple years, I've been to Zaxby's only a couple times, and here is my experiences: waiting 45 minutes in a parking lot while waiting for an order that was placed ONLINE 20 MINUTES BEFOREHAND. They once threw away my receipt without asking if I want it, THEN decided to ask if I wanted it, and I said "I did but it's fine", and instead of accepting my decline or reprinting the receipt, they FISH IT OUT OF THE TRASH AND GIVE IT TO ME. Found multiple short, black, curly hairs in my milkshake. And while those were all on separate occasions, here is something that happens without fail at EVERY ZAXBY'S location. You pay for every single sauce you get, and THEN THEY DON'T GIVE THEM. Most fast food chains at least let you have a couple free sauces and charge you for excessive amounts. But Zaxby's charges for every individual sauce. And then you find that it's not in your bag or any of your boxes. I think it's ridiculous to charge for a 1 tablespoon serving of sauce in the first place, but then to hold them hostage from customers is insane. It happens so much I almost think the managers TELL their employees to do this so that they can make a couple extra bucks. The workers are always cold and miserable towards you. No matter how many times you say "thank you", "good evening", "have a good day", it's always the same. And I know it's not just my bad luck either, I've never heard anything good about the Cartersville Zaxby's. I got my blood drawn the other week, and the workers were talking lunch, and upon someone suggesting Zaxby's, another worker shared that they got food poisoning from this location recently.... I don't understand why anyone would ever want to go here. Price is higher than a cat's ass for the worst service you'll ever receive.

    Told us they were not taking any more orders for the night when they had 20 minutes left to closeread more

I stopped in about 1 on a Tuesday and it was fairly quiet. The staff was very friendly, which is always a huge plus. I ordered the brisket basket, sweet tea, and a red velvet cupcake to go. All the food was made fresh, and they were VERY generous with their portions! I think the brisket was better as a sandwich, but it was a great lunch. I'm excited to try a few other choices next time I'm there, which will be soon! If you're traveling I-75, don't stop at the fast food giants for a meal.

Expecting the crunch of a gizzard, I was disappointed to find the gizzards broken down. A small disappointment overshadowed by the lack of flavor in 4 of the 5 items we tried. I rarely leave food and left half a plate. Not sure if it was the gizzards or the roasted ribs (not smoked folks just do you know), but my wife and I have been physically ill since dinner 6 hours ago. I'm hoping this too shall pass . Bottom line, skip it.

We were greeted after a few minutes by Allie (I may have the name wrong, it was either Aly or maybe Kiley?) a very pleasant and friendly server. We were already prepared for what we wanted to we ordered immediately. She brought our drinks out and we waited quite some time for our order, probably 20 minutes. It definitely wasn't the servers fault she brought fresh drinks out while we were waiting. She apologized for the delay. Finally we got our entrees but we were told they had no biscuits and were making fresh ones. The food was good as usual, I ordered the Chicken and dumplings with cinnamon apples, hash brown casserole and green beans but we never got our rolls/biscuits even as we were leaving. The chicken dumpling gravy was more watery than I remember but it tasted ok. This makes my 2nd visit in a row to this location in which something was wrong or easily fixable. Also one of the faucets in the bathroom didn't work and the floor needed a good mopping. I want to give our server and wait staff a 5 star but not the rest of the experience, so: Server 5 star Wait time 1 star Cleanliness 4 star Cashier/greeter 5 star Food/accuracy 1 star Overall experience 3 star

Looks like a neglected KFC from the 1970's, very depressing. Trash everywhere, no maintenance done on landscape, just very sad looking. Luckily the inside of the restaurant was much cleaner. When I came in there were no guests but all of the employees I could see were either prepping food or cleaning. They had some coupons for several items and the young lady that was cleaning offered to help me ring up at the counter instead of the self-order kiosk. According to the receipt her name was Tammy; very friendly and helpful, and stayed busy the whole time I was there. I ordered the 8 piece bucket meal deal which is normally $29 but with coupon was only $18.99 which is a heck of a deal, comes with 8 pieces of chicken, two large sides and 4 biscuits. I also ordered 4 of the apple fritter desserts or whatever they're called (I actually ordered the strawberries and crème cheese ones but apparently they don't have those anymore so they gave me apple, which if I had known I wouldn't have ordered them, they tasted ok but not something I would order again). Got my order and got home, everything was fine, chicken was good and cole slaw was good as usual, biscuits were not exactly fresh but I came between lunch and dinner so I didn't expect perfection! Only food issues I had was the gravy for the mashed potato's was very watery and definitely not the thick brown gravy I am used to and expect, tasted bland and that was a big letdown because that's my favorite item at KFC (wish they would bring back the "chicken little" sandwiches, those are the best! Anyway overall the food was good except for the gravy and switching out the apple fritters, but I was very impressed with the customer service of Tammy and how all the employees were looking busy and productive, also how rapidly my food was served. So this review should probably be lower but I gave it 4 stars basically due to the employees, otherwise: 5 stars for customer service and interior, 3 for food, 2 for exterior cleanliness. Not sure if I'll come back here but I will give kudos the the management for having friendly and productive employees. Spend some money on the exterior, I almost didn't go inside because the outside is so ugly and depressing. I have never been that way about a place but it looked like a place in the slums in the early 70's. Bummer dude's!

The employee in the front is running both the front counter and drive thru, taking orders and money .

He definitely deserves more pay than he's receiving I'm sure. Again shame on you corporate KFC for taking advantage of employees to save company money and profiting CEO's pocket !

The collards, what can I say, my wife could NOT stop talking about how good the collards greens were they were the first thing gone from her plate.
