This Zaxby’s location has been consistently making delicious, hot and fresh food. My fiancé and I love coming here to get a quick bite for lunch or dinner! The service here is prompt, efficient and friendly. The staff are all kind and have always gotten our orders correct. I usually get their 8-piece boneless chicken in their Wimpy sauce with Ranch to dip, toast and fries. The chicken is always fresh, flavourful and tender, and the ranch is a perfect pairing. My fiancé likes his spice, and usually gets their boneless chicken in their Tongue-Torched sauce also with Ranch dip, toast and fries. His dish has been also consistently excellent! I definitely recommend this Zaxby’s location for some delicious, budget-friendly food. It always arrives hot, has fresh ingredients, and the staff are lovely.

This Zaxby’s went well above to make sure my food was not contaminated by the shrimp, which I am highly allergic to. When I got my food, it was not only fresh and good, but I was reassured That they took extra precautions for me and the food was so good! Thank You team Zaxby’s you all are amazing!!
