Used this location for a trading site meet-up. Great location near a school, though it will be easier to access when road work out front is done. Location is clean, and the staff was friendly. While I waited, I got a drink and tried their veggie egg rolls. They were okay; the filling is a little "mushy" compared to places that specialize in this cuisine. Could have a little more cabbage in the filling, though I know that's something that can't be fixed locally. I'm sure it's just fried from frozen. Always love their drink machines; so many options! read more

These are the boneless wings that they served me through the drive thru this evening. Chicken looks like it was cooked a month ago and reheated over and over all day. I can't believe they actually picked this up and served it read more

I drove through to get a salad for dinner and they were out of most ingredients so not serving them, so I ordered some chicken tenders and a diet soda, the chicken tenders were cold and they gave me a regular soda (not good for a diabetic. The girl taking orders was on social media and couldn't put down her phone so it's no surprise that she put my order in wrong. Worst Zaxby experience I've had, not up to the standards I have enjoyed at other locations read more

The food is on par with all other zaxbys. The service is ok, but I would recommend checking your food before you get home.

They are the worst!!!! Didn't give me back my debit card and wouldn't answer the phone. SMH. Fries were old.... The food was poor quality and I'll never go back. Ever. read more

Zero stars not available unfortunately! This place is a joke. Drive thru took 15 mins, now sitting for another 20 mins waiting on food. There are literally a dozen of us all parked waiting on the one kid aimlessly walking bags of food out one at a time. No way this order is going to be correct or any good. By looking at the rest of the reviews I'd say ownership isn't interested in running a business. Just sale the land and building and walk away. read more

We put in an online order to pick up inside the restaurant. We come to pick it up and they have locked the doors with costumers inside so obviously they were unlocked recently. For some reason on a Sunday at 5 pm they do not want anyone inside so we go to the drive through and are still sitting here for over an hour to try and get our mobile order that was supposed to be ready at 4:45. Then we try calling to see like maybe we can come in and grab it real quick since you know someone has had the door open and they do not answer the phone and put it directly on hold. This is not okay and why accept online orders if you are doing this crap. all of that for $100 worth of food that is cold. one star is too much, this place should be shut down. read more

This has still been by far the worst location everrrr. I can say the service is fast but every time I come here, my order is always half ass and I only get wings and things. For a meal that cost over $11, you will think they will have the decency to give me 5 wings and not 4. Everyone, if you go to this location, please be sure to check your food before you pull off. My tenders were small and my fries are cold. And let me not forget that I didn't get any celery. Like how do you forget the celery. . I hate it here. With it raining outside, I just don't have the energy to go back up there. I'm going to let my dog eat this petty meal. The kids working in there needs to do bette read more

Unacceptable most all drinks are out in their dispenser. Last Friday and today Monday still out.

They forgot to put the sauce in the bag, again. This place is making me mad! They spent so much time out those stupid stickers on the bag and drink they forgot the sauce. read more

Literally the slowest Zaxby's I have ever been to. There were only three people ahead of us in the drive thru and it took us 20 minutes to get through it and get our food. Then, when I got my food, there was a literal guitar pick in my food and honestly I have so many questions because how does that even happen?!? read more

If I could give them 0 starts I would. The girl working the drive through was so rude. She interrupted us multiple time to tell us they weren't serving anything we wanted. They advertised the salad about 8 times in the drive through but shocker... they were to lazy to make it. Also if your thirsty. All they have is coke and sprite. Oh and lady working in the drive through "is not gonna repeat" herself. She's only gonna tell you that they only have the energy to make chicken fingers and fries once. They aren't serving anything else. read more

The folks are nice and the food is good. Now here is the reason for a three star review. There was some hair in my salad, strike one. Strike two, the dressing packets are too small. So, in my case I had to buy a second packet of dressing. They should give you two dressings to put on your salad. read more

First I can't believe a side order of chips is 5$. It's hard for me to believe I have to pull up and wait on the chips. I certainly can not believe the chips are more than 5 days old and you gave them to me where I couldn't see the please Discard Notice On The Box! Terrible read more

Zaxbys - 5$ for 5 day old chips. Thanks - Fast Food Near Me - Bessemer, Alabama

Pros: Food is OK. Salads are great and taste fresh. I love the Zaxby's dipping sauce. Cons: Fast food atmosphere. Chicken is small and average. Moderately overpriced. Conclusion: Go for the salad read more

The line was literally to the road so I went inside and ordered my food to go and waited for 30 minutes while the employees were listening to music as loud as they could and visibly playing on their phones the entire time I waited for my order. I should also mention there were about 20 other people inside alone waiting for their food as well. Upon receiving my grilled house salad and going home I realized that they didn't put a single piece of chicken on my salad. The employees were also very rude and I will not be returning nor would I recommend read more

Terrible customer service! Manager Anisha Knight was very rude! Threatened to call the police after she got my order wrong.

Slowest Zaxbys I've ever been to. No apology after waiting almost 20 minutes In the drive through. Then to hope I would have hot fresh chicken tenders, I got like warm over done tenders. Terrible! This location needs a new manager obviously. read more

We pulled up around 4:30 and they had 1 Employee inside and I wasn't able to get my chicken fingers I'm mad...

Pretty solid Zaxby's. Location looks pretty new and very well kept. Clean restaurant, but service is a little lousy. Don't get me wrong, the service is nice and pleasant, but their execution could use some extra work. They got my order wrong on 2 occasions...on the same visit...yeah, that's bad. Either way, they were nice enough to fix their mistakes and I ended up with the right order in the end. Food tastes like, yup, you guessed it...ZAXBY'S! read more

IT WAS HORRIBLE we waited in line for 30 minutes just for 3 cars they got our order wrong 5 times! Idk how this place is that bad

This is the slowest zaxbys I've ever been to in my life. They open up late and close early. Only go here bc it's literally down the street from my house. read more

So I ordered a 5 piece traditional wing entree. Not only were the employees super annoyed to be alive but they also let my food sit on the counter for a solid 5 minutes before bagging it up and handing it over. Then once I got home with my food I opened the box to see 5 chicken strips coated in bbq sauce. Not even just accidental boneless wings; full on chicken strips. Check your food before you leave this place also didn't give me napkins but that's just an edition read more

Zaxby is a fast food restaurant, recognizing that, expect that environment. The "Tongue Torch" wings are my favorite and are NOT as hot as the name implies. To steal an expression from another chicken restaurant, they are literally "finger licking good". The House Zalad is great! I've heard all the salads are good, but I see no need to look for another since that one is so good. My grands love the brownies for desert. My wife isn't a big eater so we often share the Wings and Things dish which is ample for us, and gives me an excuse for the brownie. read more

The few times I have gone lately, it's always been an issue. The chicks at the drive thru had horrible service. Very dry & I often had to pull up & wait. All you sell is chicken fingers, you should always have chicken fingers. Esp in the middle of the day. read more

No one was wearing masks. Girl at window had it hanging from one of her ears, others not wearing one at all. Didn't see an adult either, only teenagers. Food was okay but looked as if they threw everything in there and tossed it around. Drivethru was extremely slow as well. Would give 0 stars if possible. read more

The dirtiest zaxbys I've been in. Containers and disorganized items behind the counter. Catsup dispenser dropped on the counter and not cleaned up. Not a good event. Food was off too. Fries undercooked. Old dry chicken fillets. Only thing saving them was the hot sauce. Go somewhere else. read more

I was not a Zaxby's fan until this location opened. They made me a fan. The food has been consistently good, the employees have been very nice, and they have never messed up my order. I am sorry that others on Yelp have had bad experiences, but all my experiences have been good. My family loves their 20 piece chicken finger family pack to go. Nothing like fried chicken at home with your shoes off after work. Life is good. Five stars! read more

The food was good. But the drink machine was down and they didn't tell us and acted like it was a problem for us to ask about it. Service was poor. read more

This is the worst Zaxby's I have ever dealt with!! First we went through the drive thru and you could not hear the person in the other end or they were mumbling, so we parked and went in. To our surprise the place had one customer inside waiting on their food. We told the clerk at the register that something was wrong with their drive thru speaker that we couldn't hear or understand them. So we ordered our food to go. While we waited , behind the counter the employees acted like they were having a party. The girl with the drive-the head set on was skipping and chasing a male employee around the kitchen and behind the counter(no wonder we couldn't hear her). I love the Zen Salad and was looking forward to enjoying it but when I got it home it looked like it had been thrown together with scraps and hardly any of the ingredients that is usually in a Zen salad was in it. Hands down the worst Zaxby's experience ever!!! Why is it so hard to find good service these days? I gave 1 star because there's not an option for 0 stars read more

This is the worst zaxby's I have ever been to I waited in the drive thru for 10min with no cars moving. Then went inside to hear a group of people laughing loudly for no apparent reason. With workers all on there phone just looking at you and laughing with no help after a few minutes. Then waited 15 minutes for the food to come out. Then on the way out I asked for two ranch and to sweat and spicy and was charged $1 and then had to wait 5 minutes for them with workers still on there phones. read more

Worst Zaxby's I have ever been to. Multiple meals were messed up out of 5 orders. I am baffled by the rudeness of one employees. I am studying the hospitality industry in school as well as working in it and you never make a customer feel like they are an annoyance. Also, the place was disgusting inside. Every single table was sticky and the floors needed to be mopped. I am not one to leave a review but after my experience I had to share. read more

Service was poor. They were very unfriendly. They even charged me for my grandson's BBQ sauce. Which they don't charge for in Louisiana. I would not recommend this Zaxby's read more

I have been a customer of Zaxbys in McCalla since 2008 when i first moved to Mccalla. I will not be back. My order was incorrect. On the phone i was not told to bring the food back and when i got to the store, i had was then told to bring the food back. So my mom had to bring me the food and i inconvenienced her. Several people came in while i was still in the store with their orders wrong as well. I got charged for a drink that i did not even order. The assistant manager told me there was nothing she could do unless i brought the food back. So i just asked for a refunds. All i wanted to my wings to be wimpy and not plain. My time was wasted. I then asked for my money back. I will not be back to Zaxby's. read more

I ordered a couple of meals. When asked what my drink would be, I requested a bottled water. I was told they don't carry bottled water. When I looked at the menu to see what my drink options are, I see "Coca-Cola freestyle" and that's it; as if I have the machine options memorize. I ask what my options are and of course the fast food employee says, "Coca-Cola freestyle machine," and nothing more. There was minimal courtesy at the window and I had to request a napkin to wipe down the dripping beverage she handed me. read more

The Food is salty all except the mushrooms. They are really well done. Chicken No. Mushroom is a big yes yes.

I had lunch at this Zaxbys location and everything was excellent!!!! The store and parking lot was clear of debris, the restrooms were very clean for that time of day. Just wanted that one other person in the world know that not only is the food delicious this location is very tidy as well. read more

This place was pretty good, going down hill fast. The last few Zalads I got there had brown lettuce in bottom. Employees more concerned with socializing than waiting on customers. read more

Worst Zaxby's ever, in my 15+ yrs of eating at Zaxbys. The place was filthy - bathroom, kitchen, parking lot, dumpster, dining floor, dining tables. Worst I've ever seen. Food was not prepared in proper Zaxby way: salad was swimming in buffalo sauce to the point that it could not be eaten, boneless wing plate had several random fried pickles mixed in; celery sticks looked more like celery wafers (paper-thin), ice machine at drink station did not have ice and no one attempted to fill or fix or offer solution. We, and everybody else in the restaurant, had to ask the counter help for ice. Another customer left mad because he ordered, paid, then waited for his food, and waited for his food, and waited some more for his food, only to be told that they "lost" his order.... I'm telling you, this place is bad. Next time I'm traveling thru Birmingham, I'm either fasting or finding a Chick-fil-A. Sam W. posted in Sept 2013 that there was a "Lack of management" at the store. In late Dec 2014, there is still a lack of management, A Help Wanted - "Management Opportunities - Apply within" sign was at the entrance. Perhaps the owner of the franchised store is the real problem. And while I'm venting about Zaxby's..... I despise their policy on $0.25 for extra sauce. I always use every drop of sauce with fingers, but I never use both salad dressings that come with the salad. One dressing is plenty, one sauce is not enough. Maybe I need to sell them back the dressing I don't use.... read more
