Zaxby’s

Yessssss! Hot honey mustard chicken is the best. Their ice is awesome. I wish they’d change their sound track. We hear the same songs over and over again. The environment is always great and the place is always clean

Great fast food.
Simple menu options and lots of tasty items. You can get a large variety of flavor on one single platter. Lots of seating to go around and they always stay busy. The prices are higher for a fast food restaurant, but with the price comes great food quality. Zaxby’s is also very supportive of the local schools and they often host school nights or fundraisers during the week. The fancy Coke machine is certainly something to help keep you coming back!

If you want a good salad fast, Zalads are awesome! Service was also excellent, Zsakena is who my receipt said. She was very helpful and friendly, she was also smiling! Grilled chicken was delicious. I don’t eat bacon or fried onions so they gave me extra egg per my request with no problem. Thanks! It’s nice to get food fast food service and food!

It is just Good fast food chicken. Love the potato bread…
Former owner was a great person who did a lot of good for the community

Disclaimer: I would give ChickFilA a 5 star rating if they had a location in Clayton. So, I’m kind of desperate for decent, fast-​food chicken in my home town.
That said: This place is good for what it is. Food is always good, there are healthy options that are refreshingly different from the norm for fast-​food, service is great, the place is very clean (especially for fast-​food), and they have a home-​town feel.
I like their salads with blue cheese, club sandwiches, and cheddar bites.
The two improvements I see they need to make — their fries can be soggy, and they use too much sauce.

I tried the lunch here and the menu had very limited choices. Yes I know that it is a chicken place but come on man chicken fingers or chicken patty. That leaves out a lot. I ordered the chicken sandwich. It took 20 minutes with less than 5 people in the store. When I finally got my lunch it was cold. The chicken patty was not cooked and the extra side of onion rings I ordered had 4 onion ring slices. This was a total let down for the price. I don’t think I will be back.

It seems I’m not alone in trying to like Zaxby’s. In the past year, I’ve given them four opportunities to redeem themselves. Four. That’s three more than my wife wanted me to give them. Each time, I walk in the door with that crazy chicken bag, she takes the first bite and goes «Why did you do this again?»
I guess because I think it’s hard to mess up chicken. Or maybe I just haven’t tried hard enough to like it. I enjoyed it, several years back when they opened the restaurant in Smithfield (friends who still order from that location have expressed their dissatisfaction, as well… but I’ll just review a location I’ve been to recently).
Each time, they manage to do something to deliver a product that’s just below average. We’re talking tenders, Zalads (yeah, that’s what they call them), club combos. I’ve tried their stuff sauced, unsauced, with and without condiments.
And I used to like Zaxby’s. It started going downhill, right around the time they began advertising. Coincidence? I think not. You don’t pay out Duck Dynasty money and keep prices and quality the same.
The Zalads boast inconsistent and skimpy toppings for the $ 7+ they are charging. The club is dry, even with an added container of Zax Sauce. Chik-​Fil-​A can make a decent, consistent salad for the money. Why can’t they?
The latest addition, the thing that made me hope most was the following: They boasted Cherry Coke on their menu. I love Cherry Coke from the fountain, and ordered a great big cup of it.
What I received, instead, was a watered down Coke with something that didn’t taste much like cherries at all, sprayed into it.
Turns out, in the fine print, they have one of those 100 possible flavor combination soda machines like you see at the gas station. Only it doesn’t seem like it’s calibrated as well.
Way to disappoint me before I even take a bite. That bite turned out to be slightly less dry than usual.
The only way to disappoint myself any more is to order from Zaxby’s in the near future.

This Zaxby’s location is great. I love their food, and the staff is always very kind there and the chicken is great. The former owner (RIP) was a very nice fellow, and I’m glad to see that this location is still going strong.

I have tried to like Zaxby’s.I really have. Its super greasy, and the food is average or less in my opinion. they don’t offer enough on their sandwiches and the fried chicken strips was just not good… dried out and more breading and grease. The fries were also not good. The drink was good and the service and friendliness was excellent. That’s what saved this from being a one-​star. Skip it… trust me.

Nice staff, kids eat free on Wednesdays, can’t beat that! They also have a face painter clown that visits on Wednesday evenings, big hit with the kids!!!
Seems like this area is hurting for Customers. Swing in there and get yourself some chicken.

Zaxby’s is the best fast food I’ve been able to find so far in Clayton. If you know of better, I want to hear about it!
You just can’t beat their kickin’ Chicken sandwich, which is chicken fingers with ranch and hot wing sauce over Texas Toast. Great fries.

Zaxby’s is always good. Their sauces for wings are great.
P.S.
They changed their mushrooms up. Different kind of slices and dipping sauce. No like. Haven’t been back since.
P. S.S.
OK, I had to go back. Still not crazy about the mushroom’s and it’s sauce so always ask for the honey mustard sauce. The dipping sauce they use now is a horseradish sauce. Noticed they also cut out the carrots w/​wings. Used to get carrots and celery. I’ve had a couple of times where they had little or no sauce on the wings, so if you like them «wet» check before you leave the store/​drive-​thru.
