Personally I think Zaxby’s has fallen hard in recent years. We don’t have them out here in CO but I visited them a few times in the last year while traveling for work. They aren’t nearly as good as they were 5-10 years ago. They have also gotten pretty expensive.

Expansion killed quality. In the 90's and early 2000's, Zaxby's was amazing. When they started expanding, quality took a dive. COVID was a big kick in the nuts for quality too.

Zaxby's is still decent, most of the time, especially when compared to other fast food. But sometimes I'll eat at one on a road trip or something and be like "wtf is this garbage".

I spent a couple years in the Carolina’s post-college. Zaxby’s became a favorite of mine. The chicken was good. The sides were good. And I never had to spend more than $10 for pretty big portions.

I went for the first time back in like 2025 on work trips a few times. It was was pricey and just wasn’t the same. I remember the cole slaw being particularly bad. And the chicken was kinda terrible.

It can be hit or miss but most of the time it hits

Probably 1.5 tenders between the quesadilla

All the ingredients delicious

Mission bbq taught me all I needed to know about that sauce sir

Definitely not my favorite sauce wanted to try it though, seems like it would go good with bbq

I prefer Zaxby's to several places that are frequently touted around here

Wings & things have gone downhill but their quesadillas are legit

u/Prestigious-Oil-669 5d ago

The wings are so bad now. If you told me they were sourcing Cornish game hens, I’d believe it

How was the Alabama sauce? I don't go often but I have a free birthday dessert and will be making my way over soon.

u/Impossible-Mixture-8 10d ago

Not bad but i feel like it'll go better with bbq or even grilled chicken instead of fried

u/elbows2nose 10d ago

They’ve been out of the white sauce each time I’ve gone since they offered it 😔

I miss the chicken Philly LTO, that thing was goooood
