Zaxby's is your typical chicken restaurant. On the menu is Chicken, grilled, fried, in fingers,…read morewings, sandwiches, and salads. Sides are crinkle fries, cole slaw, and Texas toast. Also on the menu are fried mushrooms and fried cheese curds. Dessert options aren't great but the cookies are good, if a bit small. Drinks are tea and Coke Freestyle. Their sauce menu is not expansive but pretty nice. There is something for everyone.
The inside of the restaurant was spotless and nicely decorated. They had a line at the window so I was glad I ordered online. I was greeted by a friendly man who checked for my order. It wasn't ready yet but I was about 7 minutes early so I browsed my drink options while I waited. If you haven't gotten the pleasure to use a freestyle machine you are missing out. There are so many options and if you have the freestyle app, you can make your own custom mix. Tonight I decided to try a Zaxby's exclusive: a lite Cherry Grape Blaster. It's a Ghostbuster promo. It's actually really tasty. I wish they would keep it.
When my name was called, I was encouraged to go through my order, right there, and be sure everything was correct. It was and I was thanked and wished a good night.
We got the Cobb Zalad, Traditional Wings and Things, an extra buffaloed finger, and a cup of slaw. The Zalad was nice and crisp, the chicken was hot and it had a nice balance of toppings to greens. It was very good.
The Traditional Wings and Things come with five buffaloed wings, three chicken fingers, crinkle fries, Texas Toast, and a drink. My wings were coated in Sweet & Spicy sauce. I opted to get the fingers in sauce, as well, but I got them in teriyaki. Ranch comes with it but you can swap out for any dip you like.
Let me be honest with you. Zaxby's has the BEST wings in the area. They are cooked to perfection and tossed in your choice of sauce. You get that nice bite that most wings around here are missing. My food was delicious.
The only thing keeping this from being a five star review was that my extra chicken finger was not just cool but ICE cold. I had to wait on this order to be finished but had to microwave that finger and I live less than five minutes away. Literally everything else but the slaw, my drink, and the salad greens, and that lone chicken finger were piping hot. No clue what happened there. It's a first for me.
I do recommend this place, despite the issue with the chicken finger. It's not common for them. The food is good and, the staff is friendly.
