ABOUT ZAXBY’S

Enjoying great chicken in an atmosphere where you can be yourself—that’s what childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley wanted to achieve when they founded Zaxby’s back in the 1990s.

Many years and locations later, Zaxby’s is still delivering on the promise to serve delicious food in a fun, offbeat environment where we welcome customers as friends.

An alternative to fast food, Zaxby’s offers prepared-at-order chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads. Zaxby’s most popular items are its hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Jumbo Buffalo Wings, smothered in a choice of sauces with names like Wimpy, Tongue Torch, Nuclear and Insane. The menu also offers innovative Zappetizers like Tater Chips and made-from-scratch Spicy Fried Mushrooms, as well as a variety of Party Platterz perfect for any family gathering, special occasion, sporting event, party and/or tailgate.

Zaxby’s has grown to more than 900 locations in 20 states and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Zaxby’s restaurants are independently owned and operated.
