Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. Check your food.

Original review Feb 12, 2026

We went to Zaxby's on Germantown Parkway tonight at 9:35 PM on 2/11/2026. My 7-year-old grandson was served raw/undercooked chicken tonight.

We didn't know the chicken was raw until he said he couldn't eat the other piece because it tasted funny. I am very upset and in disbelief that you all would even allow some undercooked food to come out of your restaurant as much as we have to pay for the food.

I have the pictures and the rest of the chicken here at the house. Undercooked chicken can lead to gastro issues for life: hospitalization from salmonella poisoning.

Loss:
$17
Pros:
  • Grandson loves their food
  • It was close to my house
Cons:
  • Undercooked and not fresh chicken

Preferred solution: My refund and the cooks to be re trained and educated on the importance of serving raw,undercooked or to old chicken

Original review Oct 16, 2025

Please see attached receipt. This was a drive thru transaction. I was advised to pull over to wait for order. It took sometime; when order came, it had no Cobb salad. I flagged a food runner to let them know. No one ever brought the salad, so after my other food was obviously cold, I had to physically go into the store and ask for a refund. The manager came to the counter and said he had prepared my order and seemed a little confused. He offered to make a salad, but didnt seem to care that the rest of my order was now cold. He spoke to me rudely and never apologized.

At the time, I noticed all of the cars in the drive thru were being asked to pull over and wait. Girls were running food to cars and then bringing the food back, as they were running food to the wrong cars. It was a total *** show. This was a big waste of my time and I still had to go somewhere else for a meal that evening.

When a customer spends $34 at a fast food establishment, we expect good, friendly customer service and a correct and complete order. This was anything but.

Attached is my refund receipt, which provides the name of the employee (Damany D).

Suggestions for improvement: This store location needs training. The current staff are not prepared to run the operation smoothly. Rather; they are operating in total chaos.

Feel free to contact me by phone if youd like.

On a positive note, my family loves Zaxbys. This incident was unfortunate and avoidable.

Pros:
  • Good food
Cons:
  • See above

Preferred solution: I would like to see the staff better trained and more courteous and engaging, especially the manager.

User's recommendation: Do not go to this Zaxby’s location until operational changes are made. Do not waste your time or money. There are plenty of other food chains in our locale who provide much better customer service.

Don't work for these kind of people

Original review Mar 30, 2026

The general manager is doing a lot of wrong things towards workers and customers. They have been calling in complaints against him. On top of that, he brought a manager and her friend into the job and let the friend get manager hours, while the other manager told him that it is not fair to the other employees.

Preferred solution: He need to go by the book are y'all need to fire him

  • - Salad arrived missing cheese/onions; grilled sandwich had excess dressing and soggy bun; calls unanswered; 10% off next meal.
Original review updated Nov 14, 2025

1100 Sedalia Crossing Ln, Whitsett, NC 27377

CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANT!!

I ordered a Zaxbys Grilled House Salad with extra tomatoes and extra cucumbers. My salad had six chunks of grilled chicken, eight small, thinly sliced tomatoes, and eight chunks of cucumber.

They neglected to put the cheese and French-fried onions on it. I also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with no dressing, and they put so much dressing on it that the bun was soggy and dripping, and they charged me for a meal. I also ordered a grilled chicken meal and received a spicy fried chicken sandwich with overcooked fries.

The restaurant would not answer its phone despite being called around 20 times. The next time we returned, the manager offered us a generous 10% discount off our next meal.

Someone needs to teach that manager about customer courtesy and customer satisfaction. Evidently, she missed the days when those courses were taught.

My goal now is to find out who the franchise owner is and let them know.

Loss:
$29
Pros:
  • Location is convenient
Cons:
  • Orders are not correct as we have had this problem two times

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANT!!

Urgent concern- staffing and supervision

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Two visits in Warrensburg, MO with 30+ min waits and missing sauces.
  • - Teens worked with no visible supervisor; please review staffing.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally report serious concerns based on my personal experiences at the Zaxbys location in Warrensburg, MO.I have visited this location twice in the past month, and on both occasions:My order took over 30 minutes.Sauces that normally come with the meal (such as for chicken or cheesecake bites) were missing.The employees working appeared to be teenagers, and I did not observe any visibly older manager or adult supervisor on site.

During my first visit, I spoke with a young employee who told me he was the manager on duty and that there were only two employees working at the time and On my second visit, I saw more employees present, but they also appeared to be in their teens. Again, I did not observe any clearly identified adult supervisor.

As a customer and a parent, I find this concerning, both for the quality of service and for the well-being of the employees. In my opinion, leaving a team of teenagers to operate a restaurant (even this slow- 3 cars and a few inside) without visible adult leadership IS creating challenges for safety, training, and service quality.

I am requesting that this location be reviewed to ensure that proper staffing, supervision, and support are consistently in place, and that employees, particularly minors, are working under appropriate oversight.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Brettni

User's recommendation: Go to Raising Canes instead. I got a response 4 days later that said they declined to even read my review lol. How is this a legitimate business company when they have zero interest in what’s going on at their UNSUPERVISED locations?!

  • - Tea was sour at Zaxby's Knox Ave.
  • - Delivery of $75.99 was delayed 30+ minutes; no Dr Pepper and food arrived cold after about an hour.

I visited Zaxby's on Knox Avenue in Augusta last evening and ordered a large tea. The tea was sour.

Why would they serve soured tea? Then today we had an order of 75.99, and they held our order over 30 minutes to call back and say no Dr. Pepper. Well, I am sure the food is not hot, and we deserve fresh food that we paid for.

It's a delivery, and we have waited for an hour for food. Thanks for cold food.

User's recommendation: I recommend better service and quality foid

  • - Carryout for two five-piece meals; the chicken was pink inside.
  • - Fries tasted old and the bread was the only good part, for nearly $50.

I would just like to tell you that my last Zaxby's experience was terrible. It was a carryout order for two five-piece chicken finger meals, and my chicken was very pink inside, not done by any standards.

Neither one of us could eat our meals. The french fries tasted old; the bread was the only good part of the meal, and that's sad to say after spending nearly $50. By the time we got it home, we were disappointed and angry. What can we do about the situation?

Something needs to be done. If not, tell me who I need to speak to. This incident happened in Greenville, Alabama. This is my email address; please get back to me as soon as possible.
