Zaxby’s

One of the better «fast casual» dining options in Gaffney.
The Blackened Blue Salad was very good with tons of blue cheese chunks.
My go to item is the Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich — super messy and delicious. Even if you’re not a fan of seasoned fries, the ones here are good.
And who doesn’t love a Coke Freestyle Machine — Raspberry Coke all day long baby!!!
Would have been four stars but the employees weren’t all that friendly or smiling (not like at Chick Fil A).

I would normally never waste my time or yours in reviewing a fast food restaurant, however the Cobb Salad here was worth noting. I was wanting something lite & healthy for a long road trip which is why I was looking for a good salad. Had it without cheese or bacon & had extra tomatoes & cucumbers. The onion straws on it are addicting. Had the grilled chicken for the first time here. It’s healthier & tastes as good as the fried. This is my new go to place for quick salad. The employees here were friendly and efficient. The cook did a good job of presentation.

Impressively clean and rather upscale-​looking location of this Athens, GA-​based fast food chain in the middle of nowhere.
Hubby heard about their excellent fried chicken and had to make a pit stop. He got the smallest adult meal possible, which he thought was still very ample. His meal included two or three juicy and perfectly battered chicken tenders and crinkle fries dressed with something akin to barbecue seasoning. All meals come with Zazby’s special chicken sauce.
My fried-​chicken loving man said that the rave reviews of Zaxby’s fried chicken were well-​deserved. The chicken was simply marinated and battered with probably a buttermilk, salt, and pepper, and garlic powder mixture, but the end results were nothing short of amazing. Pat-​your-​belly-​good.
I ordered the fried spicy mushrooms, which also came with the «chickens sauce,» which is actually vegetarian-​friendly, too. Though the ‘shrooms weren’t spicy by my standards, they were not overly breaded and pretty addictive.
Not much to see in Gaffney, except perhaps its historic district, but we’ll stop by again just for Zaxby’s. By the way, Bojangles, Sonic, and Waffle House are all within close range, so a wealth of choices if you wanted to satisfy all your Southern fast food cravings.
