“Flawless. Almost...”

David W.
7/5/22

The employees can usually never get the order right, but I tend to get over it quickly. The amazing food makes up for the poor performance of the employees. The zax sauce is what makes zaxby's my favorite restaurant. That sauce makes the already good food two times better, and I would recommend this food to anyone. I genuinely close my eyes from satisfaction when eating that delicious food covered with zax sauce. 9/10 restaurant. Love it, would eat again.

“Zaxby's on Peach orchard Rd in Augusta has the worst service I have ever seen”

I ordered online waited for 30 min. Then when I finally got it it was cold. Young black staff that act like they just did not care. And yes I'm black. Worst service ever. Will never go back. Food and service disappointing

My other half and I went by and got the wings and things combo. I wanted my wimpy wing sauce on the side and he wanted them wimpy, but served regular. I worked at zaxbys years ago, so I know how it works. We waited 20 minutes, the wings were both coated and in the wrong sauce, I wanted an extra zax sauce instead of ranch, and the fries were cold. I emailed BC I go there like once a week and had never experienced that, very rude customer service. Andres, the store manager got back to me and said to come have dinner or lunch on them and I'd get hooked up with coupons. Great, right? No. My work moved me to Have, so I told him I can't visit his specific restaurant, but I'll take the coupons BC there's one down the street. He said they were mailed on a Thursday two weeks ago. Normally, I love zaxbys to death, but this left a bad taste in my mouth that makes me eat elsewhere. Very disappointed.

Although the cost of meals have increased, service has declined. Never clean tables, always have to clean up the table before we can eat in. The Xaxby Big Snack go large. Chicken tenders extremely smaller and can't eat the fries due to the salt on fries is Ridiculous!

We ordered the 30-piece boneless chicken wings family pack with no salt on the fries. The fries we're salty and cold, wings were rubbery and tasteless, there was no Zaxby's sauce. My daughter ordered the garden salad with grilled chicken it was fresh and good. The salad saved the rating from a 1 and raise it to a 2. Reason why too much money to spend at a place where the employees don't care how the food is served to the patrons. I want go back to the Woodruff South Carolina store

I placed a order on the app waiting in the parking lot for 45 minutes never got my food. I called inside several times and the line was disconnected. I then had to wait in line for 30 more minutes to then receive cold food.

Soddy Daisy, TN location still does not have inside dining which is crazy. Drive thru is extremely slow and they give you very little food, especially salad. I suggest everyone boycott them until they open the inside dining. I suspect they just don't want to go to the trouble of being safely open! Sad!

I ordered 3 chicken finger plates. The chicken fingers were extremely hard. They were not freshly cooked at all. My family and I were very disappointed, we trashed all three plates. Zaxby's in Statesboro Ga, on campus, your food is getting to be horrible.

My son and I were super excited about going to Zaxby's. Arrived 10 minutes before opening. Again excited. We ordered a 20 piece and a sandwich. Trust, I know freshly cooked chicken after eating it almost daily for 59 years. IT WAS OLD AND DRY. 31 BUCKS down the drain. Never be 1st in line at Zaxbys little rock. I could have eaten last nights chicken at home!

Tip for consumers:
First in line gets yesterday's leftovers.

I have always really loved zaxbys, it's just my favorite place to eat out, whenever I do go fast food.
Although. The last several times I have gone out it has been terrible. The chicken is either very overly cooked, nothing left but dry cardboard chicken, or the grease is old and taste like old fish grease and the fries are cold and greasy also, terrible just terrible. I don't normally give reviews on much of anything because sometimes you just get bad food every once in awhile due to to new people or something but come on now the is happening every time I choose this place to eat, which is most of the time (Oxford, Alabama). I'm so sorry for myself to say I won't be back bc I really do love there chicken but it's not worth the gamble of " Am I going to get good food". After all I do watch what I eat most of the time but sometimes it's nice to eat out and splurge but not at Zaxbys

Against my decision to never go to Zaxby's ever again, I did today with the purchase of grilled House Salad. Once again I was disappointed with my purchase. The lettuce was limp and brownish, tomato was over ripe ( old) and just over all poor quality of product. I won't be going back!

I saw the photo of their new chicken sandwich so I ordered it. I found out that the bun is bigger than the chicken patty. The photo showed the chicken patty bigger than the bun.
It did taste pretty good but it was so small when I got it I was disappointed. Plus I got a bout 10 fries and a drink so full of ice that it had very little beverage.

Makes you jump through too many hoops.

I order 2 10 piece chicken wing and a number 4 ( 5 buffalo wing meal) drove 25 mins home just to realize my order consists of all drums. My number 4 had only 1 wing and the rest all drums. My 2 10 piece wings out of the WHOLE BOX there was only 4 wings in both boxes. When I called the store the first tone I was placed on hold for 10 mins. Called again and the man was so rude. I worked in both food and retail business as a manager. This was by far the worst experience I ever had especially for my first time going to the restaurant.

I always come to this zaxby's. It's always the same manager. She talks to them as if she is a bully. I think Michelle is her name. Today experience was e even worse. The young lady was helping me out and she constantly found a way to bother her as she was helping me. I then heard her mumble "these damn kids" under her breathe. Hopefully this helps you find better management

Ordered the Cobb salad it was the smallest salad I have ever gotten $7.09. Friends said their salads were good and that you get a nice size. Not this one, very disappointed.
The last time I went to this place my fries were not done and had to come home and re-cook them. SMH!

Went to ******* U.S.Hwy 280 Sylacauga, AL ordered carry out with the order being sweet and spicy boneless chicken wings. There was no sauce on the wings. Fries were cold. Please put cooks in the kitchen that take pride in their job and performance. Do better Zaxbys! You charge enough.

At the HWY 90 Pace, FL location... I was told to pull around and park in the first space to wait for my drive thru order. It was not clarified exactly where to park. So, I did my best guess, assuming an employee would come out soon to look for my car. After 25 minutes, I gave up and went inside. I was told I didn't get my food because I wasn't correctly parked. When I asked if the employee could please clarify that for the next customer, she turned around and walked away. I understand mistakes are made and communication is unclear, even on my part. But I didn't pay $45 for a meal and wait 25 minutes in a parking lot to be completely ignored and treated like trash. An apology for a misunderstanding would have been nice. Instead I got rolled eyes and flipped hair. Classy.

I prefer zaxby's because the waters have respect for their customers, and they have wings! Zaxby's has their Zaxby's sauce, one of my favorite and superior sauces when it comes to French fries. Zak sauce is zesty, creamy, and makes my heart happy. Unfortunately, Zaxby's has a company rule of 25 cents for every requested extra sauce Zaxby's has a menu unique from other fast food chains. If you peep in the kitchen of Zaxby's, you'll see fresh loaves of sliced bread ready to be made into Texas toast. They aren't too garlic-y either, making them the perfect buns for sandwiches.

Went to Zaxbys at 9556 Cliffdale rd, Fayetteville NC. Went thru the drive up. Wanted chicken & fries & sweet tea. Had to wait 10 minutes. Listened to a large & rude female employee about all her personal problems, loudly.

On Thursday, July 22,2021; I ordered two large platters. I want to express my gratitude to the entire staff. The customer service was great. The staff were especially helpful and extremely kind. The young person running the register was friendly, kind and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and perfect for my occasion. I am very pleased with my service. The location is Pyramid Village, Greensboro, NC *******.
Thank you all,
J Hughes, Satisfied Customer

I really like Zaxbys and was looking forward to the new Philly Chicken sandwich.
I asked for grilled with extra onions and got fried with no onions.
I also thought that the sandwich was small and not as much Chicken as a regular sandwich there.
I won't order another one!

I ordered 2 zax sauces, for which I paid $.25, and they forgot both of them! They also forgot the goldfish that comes in the kids meal and they gave around 10 fries. The food is great, if they remembered to put it in the bag.

I was eating my salad and chewed on something hard. At first I thought it was maybe a bone but I know Zaxbys usually don't have bones. So when I pulled it out my mouth it was one of those metal bread ties. I bit on it kind of hard now I have to deal with that.

I did an online order, the wait was 10 minutes however I had to sit in the drive through for 20, why am I not allowed to pick up my food at the register or curb side? Why do I have to wait this long for cold food!?

They had no zax sauce, no salads, and no wings, they turned us away from the dining room even though we were there 10 minutes before we closed and weren't planning on eating in there, just didn't want to go through the drive through, and every person we encountered was terrible rude
