    New spot to review!Heard lots of things about this restaurant. Finally made it here. I am still in Indianapolis and having a great time eating and sampling.! we entered here we were greeted by the employees. There's so much to see with the decor of the Indianapolis Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts! Lots of history on the walls here for their decor! First, I was excited about the menu, I had so many options! I want to shrimp and I also wanted to salad. So I decide to get the fried chicken salad., and I got the extra shrimp on the side for three dollars! This was a great choice! The shrimp were amazing, and my fried chicken salad was! I only ate half of the salad. It was huge!!! I love the fried crispy onions that were on the salad., this was a total different change, which I loved. we were able to get extra refills on our drinks even the fresh lemon. I love this place. I come here before I leave.. that I had to pack my leftovers to take. You Have a wonderful Staff!! Thanks

    Zaxby's Signature Sandwich
    Tim C.

    TL;DR It's no Chick-fil-a but it's better than Popeye's. What Zaxby's has going for their chicken sandwich compared the competition is the size of the breast. My wife and I both had chicken sandwiches and our son the chicken fingers. Everything was serviced hot and juicy. I opted for the spicy Zaxby's sauce which wasn't very hot at all, and spread on both the top and bottom buns. My wife got her's with regular sauce and our son, sauce on the side. Their sauce is just, meh. With the meals, we ordered the default crinkly fries, which were good. They have a really cool Coke dispenser machine which can be controlled by your smart phone via a QR code for hands free operation.

    I have been here once before and wasn't really a fan. Decided to give it another shot tonight with a friend. The service was friendly and efficient. The drink station was dirty and needed attention which is a bit of a turn off. They do have a door freestyle machine so if it's busy it takes a bit longer. The food was hot and fresh. The tenders tasted good but man some were more like a chicken fry! Scrawny and not much to them. The Zaxby's sauce was good. Reminds me of canes. But beware of how many calories are in it. The texas toast was great and the seasoning on the fries was good. You can even ask for extra!

    I've read about Zaxby's and wanted to try it for a while. I noticed the sign by the Michigan Road exit in north Indianapolis so I exited the highway and went to lunch. The giant inflatable chicken on the roof made it easy to spot. Once inside I found busy Indianapolis and chicken centric decor. I sized up the menu and settle on the Big Zax Snack. I don t like to eat big meals when I'm driving. Well, it was more generous than expected with a pile of crispy crinkle cut fries, Texas toast and five instead of the stated three chicken tenders. The bread I'd on the teasers was crunchy and a little salty for my taste. The Zax sauce tastes and looked like a seasoned ketchup / mayo blend and was a bit too sweet. The food was good and I can see why many people like it. Worth trying.

    Wow. I'm late to the party on this place! First order at Zaxby's! The service was slow and it took them awhile to even acknowledge me at the window. I know it's cold out, but at least say hello. However, the food was good. I had a 20 min drive back to where I was eating at but it stayed warm, I put it by the foot vent. NOTE! I had the chicken wings and things. The sweet and spicy sauce was my favorite! That was on my boneless Wings. I tried the Caribbean jerk dipping sauce for my strips and it's just as good! The fries were fine. The Garlic bread felt unnecessary this time, but next time I will Make a little sandwich. I wish I had coupons for them- maybe if I lived closer. I'll be back! The cheesy bites get a thumbs down. The breading tasted like old chicken grease and the flavor lacked tremendously. I spent about $14 on this meal and a half.

    I came here with my sister and mom. Very clean and the staff was really good. Great customer service. Ordered The Blue Zalad. It was a serving size and fresh. I was so full I couldn't eat it all. It was about $7-8. Def well worth the price. Will definitely order again if I come in this area. My sister had the nuclear boneless wings. Beware, she could feel her pressure rising because they were so spicy . My mom had the chicken sandwich. She like it as well but wished she'd ordered the salad. I'd definitely recommend this place for a quick bite to eat.

    Styrofoam cups and to-go boxes

    After reading through a bunch of reviews I wanted to give Zaxby's a chance, and I had high hopes that I would still have a good experience. I reviewed the menu before going and I saw some good options. Unfortunately the prices are not listed on their online menu unless you order it to go. We ordered at the register and shortly after we filled our drinks they called our order and we sat down. I started off very frustrated because the Coke Freestyle machine was completely out of lemonade. If you consistently read my Yelp reviews you would start to notice that I order lemonade pretty much everywhere I go so this wasn't off to a good start. I ordered the Zaxby's Club sandwich meal which includes the sandwich, fries, and a drink. It was under $8. We also split an order of cheese curds which is an appetizer. Everything was just ok. Everything was hot but the taste and flavor wasn't all there for me. I liked the fries but I could tell the chicken was totally processed and not fresh. Nothing compared to other restaurants and it's not even near the same level as Chick-fil-A in my opinion. The prices weren't too bad especially since the meals include fries and a drink but quality ingredients and chicken should be more important than making a profit off of cheap processed pieces. As for the dining area it was pretty clean and organized. The condiment/napkins station was stocked although the ketchup was running low. One thing that I noticed this business isn't doing is being more environmentally friendly with their products such as the drink cups, plates, and straws. I feel that more companies are moving in a positive direction and are trying to save the environment one step at a time but I didn't see this here. All the cups are styrofoam (doesn't break down in landfills), the plates are too, and the silverware and straws are plastic. I understand it's hard for a company to covert to more environmentally friendly products but I saw no attempt and it kills me to see so much styrofoam in the trash. I'd rather spend (less) money somewhere with fresh ingredients so for that reason I don't think I'll be back.

    Decor the usual sports, local, etc nothing great.

    Not bad not great. After all it is just chicken. Texas toast was great however. It was buttery and salty grilled goodness. We ordered a Snack platter, a Zaxby club and white cheddar bites. The platter chicken fingers crispy, fries limp. Zaxby sauce had an uninspiring taste. The club. Nice bacon on the texas toast. Pretty good, except where they laid the sandwich on the pickle. White cheddar bites I was really looking forward to. First bite all I tasted was beer. Looking up the ingredient list second ingredient is beer. I hate the smell and taste of beer. They went in the trash. Over all not bad. Would we go back maybe.

    Fried Caesar salad, substitute croutons for tomatoes, and two extra strips.

    I was very disappointed when I came to place my order through drive-thur on Wednesday that there were so many employees standing in the back and on top of one another. Then I saw an employee (cook)come from the back with his mask not over his nose along with two other employees. It is pointless to wear the mask if you are not going to wear it over your nose and you are standing over ppl food you are fixing. Unsafe, not healthy and honestly very disappointed.

A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had!

They often have kombucha on tap, although they were out when I went, and they stock healthy seltzers, sodas, and other drinks in cans. I decided on the Glow Bowl, with truly delicious sweet potato noodles, and marinated herbed tofu on top. It was, hands down, the best vegan meal I've had at a restaurant. His Goatness got the coconut curry, with salmon added; he gave me a bit of the curry, and it was as good as the version I make at home (one of our favorite recipes). Service was simple: you order at the counter, help yourself to water (from a big jar that has cut fresh citrus slices in it), and the food is brought to your table. You can bus your own table, or let the occasional passing server clear dishes as they offer. Prices were exorbitant, for the kind of experience offered. Be prepared. And here is where I found a big problem: they tout themselves as "healthy food for a happy world"...BUT THEY DO NOT RECYCLE. They don't offer information on where the food comes from. (Is it local? Fresh? Organic? Or is it more Sysco produce shipped from thousands of miles away in gas-guzzling refrigerator trucks, from the same industrial farms that brought us the Cyclospora outbreak?) So. Basically: their corporate image is purely advertising -- they don't put their money where their mouths are. Disappointing. So! Delicious food, questionable ethics. Guess I'll still be cooking my meals at home. Sigh. Maybe I can figure out the recipe for the glow bowl.

The employee, Aaliyah, provided me with her suggestions upon request and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at home. The salmon was tender and juicy and the sweet potatoes were well-seasoned and cooked to be the prefect consistency. The wild rice was cooked to perfection. The sauces took everything to another level. I like that they have the information for where they source their ingredients on display for the customer to see. The food is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation.

For apps we got the Wagyu pigs in a blanket and the broccoli cheddar soup to share. The piggies were so savory and delicious. For entrees we got the fish and chips and rainbow roll. The fish was perfectly battered and tasted great. The rainbow roll had good flavor but really fell apart immediately. I felt like the presentation could have been improved. They also did not bring out soy sauce with the roll and didn't come even after asking our server for it. Still good flavor to the fish. We finished off the night with the monkey bread (100/10). So sweet and delicious! It came out hot and fresh with a side of ice cream. Definitely sugar overload but totally worth it. And our nightcaps were the Espresso Martini (HAVE to get) and the Campfire Vibes. Both great drinks. Highly recommend this spot for any special night out.
