For the most part, this Zaxby's will get your order right and the food will come out at the right temperature. But there have been times they've either forgotten something, or made a mistake like adding grilled chicken to a cobb salad and fried chicken to a house salad when the order on the receipt even states the opposite. Out of all the Zaxby's closest to me, this one is our go-to spot. We typically eat to-go, so I'm only basing my review on the typical drive-thru scenario. I have no idea what it looks like on the inside, but on the outside everything appears clean.

We were promptly greeted upon entry and I would honestly give Greg 10 stars if I could! I was thoroughly impressed with his friendly and attentive service and taking the time to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. We are visiting from Canada and until today, I was not blown away by any of the service we received. Thank you Greg!

I had carryout large chicken .. pieces. It was freshly fried, tasty, hot, so we're the fries that I ordered. I didn't care for the taste of their coleslaw. It was flat tasting. The other thing negative was the drink. I ordered a coke for myself, but it tasted like coke/dr. Pepper? So 2 things out of 4 I wasted my money on and dumped when I got home as I was on the road. No longer have receipt.

The food was pretty good and the place was relatively clean, but what stood out to me was this very kind worker by the name of mustafa Kaseer, after all those hours he worked he still found the energy to be as friendly as possibly and I think he should be applauded for that. I will definitely be coming back in hopes of seeing him again

Absolutely love this restaurant. We rarely make it over to Tampa, and we were in the area because he had an appointment. We were wanting to go through the drive thru, but it was too long so we ate in. They were out of Cole Slaw, so they let him get extra fries. The food was fresh, restaurant was clean and the decor they have is funny and family friendly.

Zaxbys offers a good variety of chicken dishes as well as other selections. When freshly cooked they are without a doubt finger licking good!

I'm from Colorado and have never tried zaxbys before and honestly! Not to shabby I will say the chicken itself is bland but the sauce makes up for it. Absolutely love there fried cheese cake, french fries and fried pickles!! They do on excellent job on those.
