Zaxbys - Five finger plate was sooo hot fresh and just amazing - Fast Food Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Dear Zaxbys, Sorry to inform you but your food is kinda gross, last time I ate at your food poisoning "restaurant" as you so call it.. I GOT FOOD POISONING AND I HAD 2 HOURS OF THE MOST AWFUL PAINING CRAMPS OF MY LIFE, so um you should find new staff.. Thanks for the food poisoning... well NOT be eating here again. Bye bye! read more

A-ok and the first time I've stepped inside. Got a coupon in the mail for 3 free chicken fingers and decided that would be a great lunch today. I arrived a little after 2pm on a weekday--lots of parking, cars in the drive-through, no line inside at the register. No one tried to make me order anything else, the front area was clean, and my to-go bag was ready before I could check in on Yelp. There wasn't any chaos behind the counter, everything was extremely calm. The only dine-in customers I saw on my very short visit was a team of UPS drivers who had just finished ordering when I walked in. I tend to prefer dark meat generally since it's less dry, but these white meat strips were good. I got two sauces without requesting any, and my to-go bag was ready before I could even check in on Yelp. Still a little salty in my opinion between the coating and the sauce, but dang if free isn't the best gravy. read more

I had a great experience since the moment I walked in! The employees were very nice and patient! I love the booths I'm overweight and there was so much room in between the table and booth! I loved how quick we got our food after ordering it ! The restaurant was clean and light music ! It was our first time trying this restaurant! We ordered shrimp, chicken and a chicken sandwich! I loved their sauce for the shrimp! The food was delicious! My husband usually doesn't like these kind of fries but loved these ! read more

Zaxbys - Chicken strip sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Everything was delicious. The staff is always nice. They never disappoint, when we stop by.

Good food. They've got some tasty sauces to choose from and my orders always come out on time. The only thing that brought my rating down is they constantly forget to add my extra ranch cups or they give me a basket of wings with only one drumstick. I'll still be returning every now and then anyways. read more

Zaxbys - Only one drumstick?! - Fast Food Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

We went through the drive through and waited 15 min for our food and then when we got home we realized that they messed up our order gave us the wrong taco and didn't even give us our feastables with our my beast box which is the only reason we went to zaxbys in the first place. Will not return. read more

This is a must stop for me if traveling to or from Austin. Didn't know Zaxby's had locations in Texas at all until I ran across the San Marcos location. They are much more prevalent in the South (went to school in Alabama and South Carolina, and they are EVERYWHERE!). I've since learned there may be locations closer to San Antonio, but I digress. In my opinion, Zaxby's wins hands down over Cane's, which is more prevalent in San Antonio. Zaxby's menu has a lot more going on, for starters. This location, though, is just okay. Nothing particularly bad, nothing particularly good. The drive thru seems much more efficient, but obviously at the expense of the customers dining inside. The wait times for a dine in meal have been too long. The other thing I've noticed, is a lack of general cleanliness. Been several times now, and it seems the floors are always sticky, tables are not wiped down, etc. Overall, happy to know Zaxby's is in Texas, but you always want your faves to be clean... read more

Similar to Cane's or Chick-Fil-A, but much better. Better quality of food, better value than either, and more menu options than both combined. Zalads are amazing, and they have so many sauces to choose from...not just your standard honey mustard, bbq, etc, but Tongue Torch, Inzane, and many others. The inside is far larger than it looks, and service is always fast and friendly. Zaxby's is my go/to when in San Marcos since CFA and Canes are everywhere, yet NO Zaxby's in San Antonio??? read more

So I've been living in San Marcos for about 2 years now, but it was my first time ever going to Zaxby's. I went because it was recommended by a coworker so I figure why not give it a try. From the curb appeal, immediately I got the "franchise chain" vibe (tbh I dont know if it's a franchise or not but I did get that vibe). The inside was clean, and looked like a restaurant style set up but with a fast food appeal. Confirmed... it is a fast food franchise. When ordering, I will say up front that the workers were very courteous and polite. Always appreciated as a first time customer. My coworker recommended the "nibblers" but I figure I should try their staples like the wings and tenders because if they can't do that right then chances are the rest of the menu is not going to be great. The wings were crispy and had a good amount of sauce. You can tell they deep fried it before drenching it in sauce because when I took bites of the wings, it had that crispy air pocket sensation prior to getting to the meat. Not a bad thing at all, just was surprised. The tenders were small and had minimal breading. Some people like that and some don't. I was indifferent about it. The Texas toast and fries were on point and their Zaxby's sauce reminded me of a thousand island ketchup and mayonnaise vibe. It was okay to be honest. Overall, I wasn't wowed, but I wasnt disappointed either. The food was priced right, the customer service was great, and the food was exactly what you paid for. Would I go back? For sure! I'd try the nibblers just to try something different. I'd deem this a #spottohitup especially if you want a quick bite after church or something of the likes!

Zaxbys - Zaxby's - Fast Food Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Now I had Zaxby's in ATL twice and both times were really good. But this location not so much the tenders were dry and hard. They were also really salty. The customer service was not all that great the young lady with the blonde hair and pretty blue eyes was pretty rude. I asked her which sauce did they have for the tenders and she pointed to the menu. Being that I never been to this location I did not know they didn't give out trays for dine in. When they called my order I advised it was for dine in and she stated they couldn't serve me without the containers and bags (which was fine) but she seemed annoyed explaining it to me. I understand due to Covid. Most of the tables were dirty but customers may have just left from eating, but I noticed the cashier was cleaning in between costumers while we were dining. The bathroom was really clean. That's pretty much my experience here today. read more

Meh. This place is okay, I think there are much better places similar to this (ex: Canes). I got the wings and things which comes with 5 buffalo wings, 3 chicken fingers, toast, celery, fries and a drink. The Zax sauce is really good. It's similar to Canes sauce but more peppery. The toast is VERY VERY buttery so I wasn't a big fan. It would've been much better if they didn't drench it in butter. The fries aren't very crispy and I didn't like them. The chicken tenders were pretty good and I'd recommend them. It was my favorite thing out of everything I tried at Zaxbys. However, they seemed a bit small. I didn't like my buffalo wings but I think it's just personal preference and not then actually being bad. Also, you can choose whatever sauce you prefer from their menu. The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant was pretty clean. Great customer service! My biggest concern is that my food took a really long time to come. This could be partly because I came an hour before closing but I don't think you should wait 25-30 minutes for fast food. read more

First time eating here ... I stopped at Popeyes first - but they were out of chicken !! Ordered the 4 piece tender meal and kept the coleslaw ... similar to caines but with better French fries .. food was good ! Sauce was good !! Customer service was very friendly ! I will for sure try again and try some of the other items on menu read more

Amazing customer service; however, my chicken tenders and french fries were extremely salty! Other than the salty food, the associates were very pleasant and friendly. read more

Awesome! Computers were giving them issues right at a busy time. They handled it with ease, polite the whole time. The food was perfect. Great teamwork! read more

I love Zaxby's as by my other reviews in different locations. I was really impressed with this one. Its actually on the other side of I35 next to the Starbucks going South. First of all they could actually understand me at the drive thru speaker. When I got to the window the guy that took my money was super sweet and nice. I really love their salads. This particular time I got the cobb with Ranch dressing. Perfect. It kept really well since I was coming back to Austin. I am actually eating leftovers now. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the salad didn't look sloppy. I also ordered their french fries. Which I've seen a lot of people do not like them. Sorry but all that savory goodness added on my fries got eaten as I was driving down the highway. Fries are the one thing you do not want to wait on eating. I like it they actually get them crispy enough to not be limp. As far as the Zaxby's sauce goes I'm not a fan but I do order ranch to make up for it. Regardless they are still great! I don't know why people compare it to Cain's its not the same. Yea they both sell chicken but I wasn't impressed with the so called competition. I know its hard for others to like new things and it will take a few times over to really get in the grove of it. Tip: If you don't want a super large salad or a plate full of chicken tenders order the kids meal. Perfect amount of fries and tenders! P.S. The toast is perfect!!! If you don't like crispy toast how is it toast? Its just plain bread! read more

$10 for 3 of the smallest chicken tenders ever, gross fries fried in old oil and soggy toast. No thank you. Got a refund. Never going back.

It was okay, nothing different on the chicken. Almost like Raising Canes Chicken but not as good. Drinks were flat and ice was empty. It wasn't bad but we thought we would try something different but it was a let down for us read more

They forgot to put in my order so it took me 40 minutes to get my food, but however the food was great. I wouldn't personally want to wait 40 minutes for fast food. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! I will never eat at this restaurant ever again. My online order was supposed to be ready at 6:21, and I did not receive it until 6:45. 12 customers came behind me in the drive through, received their food and left. When I called the store to find out what was going on with my order, they told me it was coming out as we were speaking on the phone. A gentleman walked out the door and delivered food to another vehicle. They have no idea what they're doing, and their customer service sucks. I highly recommend staying away from this place. read more

I've been to zaxby's in other places in the south, but it's been years since. Needless to say when I happened upon this one I was pretty excited. Maybe it wasn't as good as I remembered, or my memory is foggy, but if I had to base my return visit on THIS visit or location... I'd never go back. The tables were dirty , the fries were lukewarm with barely any seasoning and the chicken tasted like it had been warming under a lamp for hours. Shining star for the friendly cashier, but otherwise, I left feeling like I could have eaten ANYWHERE else read more

Zaxbys - Yum! - Fast Food Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

I grew up eating Zaxby's (I'm from Georgia), so I was SO excited to be able to have one close to me in Texas. The first couple of times I went (right after this location opened), the food was great and was just how I remembered it. However, I just went through the drive through, and I am disappointed. There is literally NONE of their famous seasoning on my fries, and my chicken fingers are WAY over cooked. Sad. I hope it's just growing pains. I hope whoever is in charge of quality control reads this. Don't ruin my favorite restaurant!! And don't make a bad impression to those who haven't been to a Zaxby's before. The meal I got today was very sub-par and I was not satisfied. read more

I have to admit I absolutely love Zaxbys. When we lived in Florida had it quite often. I was always aware of this location but never took time to stop when traveling in the area. Finally took the time today and glad I did. Also glad not one closet as otherwise I would probably be about 20 lbs heavier. Many chicken strip aficionados will argue Zaxbys vs Canes if they have had both. While I love both I definitely favor Zaxbys. One main reason is the variety of sauces. I love the hot honey mustard and for a minimal charge you can have your strips tossed in the sauce of choice. This is no light dusting of sauce. The strips are literally dripping in sauce. Also love the variety of items and my wife actually does not mind eating here as they have excellent salads. She actually suggested returning here the next time we are up this way which is unusual for her. She had a Zensational Zalad which was an Asian based salad with chicken strips. The salad was huge. I shared some and she still took home a large portion. Had at least 3 chicken strips worth of chicken on it and lettuce was all fresh. The sides are also excellent. Fries are crinkle cut and crispy outside but soft inside. The slaw is quite good as well and all dinners come with Texas toast. My wife's salad came with a surprisingly good egg roll as well. If you are ever close to any Zaxbys and have never tried but love chicken strips I would definitely stop in. read more

Food is good but the manager is a jerk. Won't go back. Lucky I even order in the 1st place.

This place is filthy and gross! My chicken was covered in sauce....I had more sauce than chicken. They h ad pet flies to meet and greet you when you got your food. And the counter where the drinks were was just as dirty! The owner needs to get staff that actually work and not sit behind the counter and just stand there! Don't think I will be back here no time soon. #itsabust read more

This was my first and last trip yo zaxbys. The food was bland. The chicken strips, fries and sauces all tasted the same. It was all bland and bland. I will say they have great tea. read more

My son had to stop in because he was told how awesome it was and maybe some of the food is ok but the food we had was just not up to par. 20 wings, 10 teriyaki and 10 regular buffalo. They are cooked fresh but the skin wasn't crispy and the buffalo sauce was lacking any real flavor. The teriyaki sauce was just too sweet. Sides for these two were gator chips with buffalo dip. The chips were really good but the buffalo dip is not a dip at all, it's more of chopped up chicken with some buffalo sauce mixed in. Spicy fried mushrooms were next up and what a total let down. Sliced floppy fried mushrooms are just not worth being on the menu. Last and not really any better than the first were chicken tenders with fries and coleslaw. The tenders were over cooked and not very tasty, the fries and coleslaw were edible so there is that. read more

As someone who has worked at this location as a contractor, yes the place is dirty, reeks of grease, and the staff have bad attitudes and are constantly cussing, telling explicit stories, and get angry when people order food. Only three Austin area locations of Zaxby's are "safe" to eat at. When I say "safe" I mean in terms of cleanliness and staff. read more

When I first walked in, I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and the overall appeal of the restaurant. The customer service was impeccable and the menu was extremely large (Fried pickles, homemade potato chips, white cheddar cheese curds, salads and multiple milkshakes). My son made the mistake of asking for an extra "Cane's" sauce, forgetting that we were not at Cane's (A similar restaurant chain that sells chicken fingers and crinkle cut fries). The cashier was quick to respond in telling us that Zaxby's was around six years prior to Cane's and when we tasted the food, we would never go back to Cane's since the quality here is so much better. 1. The banana pudding shake was out of this world! It was actually the best part of the meal. 2. The white cheddar cheese bites were okay but we encountered four in our batch that were completely empty, meaning there was no cheese inside. 3. The buffalo chicken salad was pretty good but I feel I was a little misled. The cashier told me that the salad came with fried onions. I was expecting some sort of onion straws/rings. Instead, they were more like Durkee French fried onion crisps, the kind you buy in a can to put on green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. LOL - also, the buffalo chicken on the salad was cold. Overall, the salad was tasty. 4. Now to the chicken fingers, what Zaxby's is famous for... it was overcooked and so were the french fries. We are very familiar with Cane's and there is no comparison. Cane's chicken strips are much more fresh and so are their french fries. Their dipping sauce is homemade daily, not prepackaged in blister packs like Zaxby's. Lastly, the Texas toast at Cane's is very soft and flavorful. Here, it was crunchy and dry. Sorry Zaxby's :( I really wanted to love you. read more

Amazing food,amazing people, amazing price! I cannot recommend this place any higher. My favorite restaurant in San Marcos!

We were on the way home from the outlets when we saw a Zaxby's. My kids were so excited because they haven't seen a zaxbys since we were stationed in South Carolina. We didn't wait long to reach the counter. We already knew what we wanted. We ordered a large chicken tender plate and a house salad. Everything is how we remembered it. Service was great. There was a bit of a rush hour but they workers handled it perfectly. Management walked around making sure everyone was ok. The Zax sauce was just how we remembered. We love their fries. 1 star for facilities it's new and clean. 1 star for food 1 star for service 1 star for the bathrooms being cleaned and check. 1 star overall expiriance. We didn't have any problems at this visit. Food was nice and fresh, service was excellent, and facilities were maintained. Sorry didn't have pictures my phone was dying. :( read more
