This location was understaffed but the staff they had were definitely showing up and showing out! Our order only took about 10 minutes and the food was phenomenal! They currently offer Lemon Pepper wings and chicken which are phenomenal. Minus one star because they were sold out of ranch :( read more

They never get the order right, wait times are extremely long, and food is often old. They forget the toast in my meals at least 50% of the time, same with seasoning on the fries. Half of the time they leave out extra sides I order (like baskets of toast and cookies). Will not be coming back, I've given up on this location, which sucks because I do like the food when done right. They need to hire better employees, because often its one employee doing everything from orders to cooking, while the rest sit around doing nothing. Ridiculous read more

Horrible service took 30 minutes and still didn't get all my correct food. My food was cold when I got it and didn't give me ranch or zax sauce after I asked twice read more

This is the second week in a row I have picked up dinner in the drive through only to get home and find out I am missing a big part of my order. This week it was the $17 ten tenders. When I call to complain I am told to bring them the receipt right back and they will fix my order. I live 20 min away and I am not going back for them to spit in my food because I complained about their inadequacy! The manager I spoke with (Andrea) was incredibly rude and hung up me. This zaxbys used to be a great place to eat but I will NEVER go back except to get my refund! I had also spent more than 10 minutes sitting in the drive through before ordering because there was no one taking the order from the car infringe of me. Finally someone came out with an iPad to take my order but the person in front of me still had not ordered. I had ordered a small side of fries and they tasted like they were cooked in old grease and were barely warm. read more

Sat in the drive thru for 30 minutes until we got our food. Don't waste your time, and go somewhere else.

terrible service... it took forever to wait in line only to see workers standing around. came home to see half a salad with some odd pink lettuce. disappointed . read more

Wings were hard! Way overcooked. After ordering 20 but my fault I didn't look inside the bag.

Just Don't. Lawd... why do I try? So I ordered through the app. Easy. No problem with the navigation of technology. It's the humans for me. My husband picked up my food and the sh*t show of "food" presented is truly sad. 1) Got 2 salads one no cucumbers.... Got cucumbers but no tomatoes. 2) got my crotch goblin the grilled cheese meal... whoops--- they have no fries. 3) my order came with a free big zak snack---ding ding no fries. 4) ordered 6 cookies... got 3..... *Big Negro Sigh*..... y'all please test these people for drugs or even literacy because I seriously cannot with them it's never a great day when I visit this place. I'm all for EOE but not at the same damn place. read more

This is an absurdly small amount of food for $13.27. You should be ashamed of this and train employees that is an inexcusable. People work hard for their money and this is just taking advantage of them. read more

Zaxbys - Fast Food Near Me - Athens, Georgia

The one on Barnett Shoals is the worst service!!!!!! 7:51 on Friday night and they are so slow I've seen 2 cars just leave the drive through line!! I'm next!! read more

Yeah don't waste your time. It's a pretty dysfunctional spot and waited like an hour for my food even after being asked about it multiple times. read more

Lady serving customers on 08/16/23 is an fing idiot, has no business being customer facing and is desperately in need of some training. Didn't give us cups after ordering, put in the wrong sauces after telling her sauces wanted, got the order wrong, proceeded to argue with the customer and kept back-talking. Hands down the worst Zaxby's experience ever! read more

Lady told me if i had two separate orders i would have to get back in line @ the drive thru. I came to pick up lunch for myself & coworkers. Sounds so dumb. I really don't understand whats so hard about giving them two payments.. read more

The people that work here are stupid and have the worst customer service I've ever seen. They never get the order right and forget parts of the meal. I've never seen something so bad. AVOID THIS ZAXBYS read more

Not worth your time or money. Drive though takes 30 minutes to get through on a good day. Your food is luke warm and soggy when you get it and the portions are minimal at best. Tried to pay the extra to get more fries and it seems like there was less than there normally is. Won't be going back for a while. read more

This was right up there with one of the worst drive-thru experiences I've ever had. Last night I cruised through for a quick dinner for my kids. We're a big family, when I get food out I spend a lot of money for that reason. Lauren at the drive-thru has the most terrible personality. I am easy breezy, I requested to PURCHASE extra sauce, I got an eye roll. Then I made a quick request to pay twenty cash and the rest on my card (split tender) that was more than she could handle. She closes the sliding window and loses her mind to the three people that she was working with. I call back after I realized she completely screwed my order up, and James answered. Ten seconds on the phone with him, and my experience with her, I'm convinced this team is under the influence of something. Zaxby's always falls way below par on service, but this location, BAD. I never go to the east side of Athens really, or maybe I would have already known. read more

This place is an absolute sh!t show. I have never once gotten my order right and I've never once gotten my food at the window. I have had to pull around and wait every time like nothing is prepared at all. Worst customer service I've experienced in a while. read more

Horrible service, they'll have you "pull through" and wait forever. I will never show here again

Best drunk food to exist. Fries, chicken fingers are the absolute best here! Iconic spot. read more

Very disappointing. After watching the commercial for General Tso's boneless wing meal, I decided to try it. They have e me three dry pieces of wings with Zac sauce on the side. read more

After paying for my food I was told to pull up. Not only did they forget my food but had an attitude when i came inside. My order ended up being incorrect. Please fire these hood rats read more

Good service and a consistent product. Not much more to say about fast food. No complaints and their grilled salads are a healthier option than most of the other places. read more

Consistently the slowest drive thru and worst zaxby's I've ever been to. They don't have enough employees. Usually 3 people in the whole store. read more

The drive-through service is HORRIBLE. I asked for a fried breaded chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato and pickles and mayo, a large order of fries, and a coke. He tells me we only have diet coke and tea. I agree with the sweet tea. He says okay the chicken sandwich meal and tells me to pay at the window. Since the guy takes your order way before you get to the menu sign, you have no idea what you really want. So you have to either get what you always order, memorize the menu before you go, or try and get the guy to give you what you want. Well, thank goodness I checked my sandwich. The girl serving me at the window told me I had a GRILLED chicken sandwich meal. I said NO. She says what do want then. I explained it all again. I trusted she got it right. So being frustrated I drove off without checking my order. I literally got 1/2 of a small box of fries, a fried chicken sandwich with zaxby's sauce and a pickle. They did get the sweet tea correct. UGGGGGH!!!! And the chicken was hard (overcooked) and cold. I threw it in the trash and made myself a sandwich. Even the fries were cold ;-( read more

3 strikes and your out. I'm done not just with this Zaxby's but the whole chain. WORST customer service I have ever experienced. Always an excuse for why you can't serve someone. Unfriendly, unhelpful, lazy workers. You should be ashamed. read more

Went there for lunch today. Every Zaxby's is the same, so this wasn't anything special. Slightly smaller than the other Zaxby's locations I've been to though. read more

Zaxbys - Boneless wings and things! My favorite - Fast Food Near Me - Athens, Georgia

This place blows. Super unprofessional in every aspect... they gave my order to someone else. Then I proceeded to wait about 45 minutes for them to remake my order. Not only this, but they messed up that order. At one point I thought they were just screwing with me. It was ridiculous. I wish I could give negative stars. read more

I'm pretty sure I saw the workers doing the deed in the kitchen, but they brought my food in a timely manner . I did have to ask for my zax sauce that was supposed to come with my food. read more

Came here on Super Bowl Sunday. Ordered via the app, and it said my order would be ready around 7:11. Came into the place around 7:09 and waited for my order. Noticed orders before and after me were being served, but I didn't question the wait because I figured it dealt with the day. It actually turns out that one of them prepared the food/bagged it, but they didn't call out the number for some reason. So I just stood there 5+ extra minutes, but that is alright. The Caribbean Jerk Boneless wings were alright, but I don't think the flavor was for me. The french fries were underseasoned and no crunch to them. One thing that concerned me is the nozzle for one of the drink dispensers fell into an employee's cup while filling it up. He then reached into his cup (that he was previously using) and placed the nozzle back on there. I feel like that is a clear health violation, but maybe not. So you can decide for yourself if that affects anything for you. read more

I ordered 10 traditional chicken wings with spicy & sweet sauce. The food was cold and the texture was like jerky. I could not finish it even. The sauce was too little, so the taste was nothing. Why did you put the amount of source for 3 wings to 10 wings? Why are you trying to save sauce and money over 10 wings? This was my first time using Zaxby's, but it will be my last time. It was not good experience at all. read more

This place has literally the most juiciest chicken you can get. They have great fries, and chicken. Sometimes the line can be pretty slow but that's ok. This place gives you LOTS of food in your order, unlike the one near the newest Kroger that gives you the smallest chicken fingers you can get. I really recommend! read more

This Zaxby's had the best service by far, it was lunch time in a collage town service was very pleasant food was served up fast, fresh and hot. While dinning in I was checked on twice to make sure I did not need anything and if my food was hoe I ordered it. I could in no way say this about my local Zaxby's in SC. Bravo to all the employees at this location you just set the standards for ALL Zaxby's.... what a pleasure! read more

This restaurant is always clean and quick! Mack was excellent help and very kind when fixing my meal that was incorrect. The whole staff has always been exceptionally friendly which I definitely appreciate. read more

I went here around 10pm to order 20 tenders and once I got home 15-20 mins away I noticed it was wings instead. So I drove back to exchange them the manager made me feel like it was my fault! Um.... Was kinda rude to me. I had to get back out late at night to get my correct order I spent $20 on. I had to tell her that she wasn't being professional then she decided to give me a gift card seriously I LOVE Zaxby's but that wasn't okay! read more

As a former Zaxbys employee I know that the fries & toast can be not fresh after sitting under a heat lamp. I went at 3pm and expected for this to happen but the food was fresh and served quickly. Best Zaxbys I've had in a long time read more
