A full Zaxby’s meal usually costs between $8.49 and $11.49. A sandwich on its own is about $6.49. Here are the most popular items at a glance.

Each restaurant sets its own prices, so yours may be a little higher or lower. The Zaxby’s app shows the exact price at your store.

A Quick Look at Zaxby’s

Zaxby’s started in Statesboro, Georgia, in 1990. Two friends, Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley, opened the first restaurant. The menu was small: chicken fingers, wings, fries and Texas Toast.

Today the brand has more than 1,000 restaurants in 22 states. Most are run by franchise owners. That is why prices change from town to town.

Zaxby’s also loves the letter z. You will see Fingerz, Zalads, Nibblerz and Zax Packz on the board.

Fingerz & Wings Meals

These meals are the heart of the menu. Each one comes with sides and sauce, so you get a full plate for one price.

The Big Zax Snak is the cheapest full meal. It skips the Cole Slaw, so it costs about $2.50 less than the Chicken Finger Plate.

Chicken Finger Plate Sizes

The Plate comes in three sizes. Each extra Chicken Finger adds about one dollar.

Wings & Things Prices

Wings & Things is the biggest regular meal. You get five wings, Chicken Fingerz, Crinkle Fries, Cole Slaw, Texas Toast and two sauces. Buffalo style means the chicken is tossed in Tongue Torch sauce.

Traditional wings cost about 80 cents more than boneless. The Buffalo style adds about 30 cents.

Sandwiches

Zaxby’s sandwiches are simple and filling. The Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich is the spicy favorite. The Signature Sandwich is the classic. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich is the lightest on your wallet at $6.29.

Zalads (Salads)

Zalad is Zaxby’s word for a big chicken salad. You can choose grilled or fried chicken.

The grilled House Zalad has about 560 calories and 48 grams of protein. That is the most protein of any Zalad on the menu.

Chicken Fingerz & Wings by the Piece

Ordering by the piece is great for a light bite. It also helps if you want to build your own meal.

Zappetizers & Shareables

These are the snacks to share while you wait for the main meal. They also work well as a small lunch.

Sides

Sauces, Dry Rubs & Dressings

Sauce is a big part of the Zaxby’s experience. Sauce cups cost $0.59 each. Dry rubs cost $0.79.

The Sauce Heat Ladder

Not sure how hot to go? Here is the ladder from mild to wild.

• No heat: Zax Sauce, Ranch, Honey Mustard, Teriyaki and BBQ.
• Mild: Wimpy, a gentle buffalo.
• Medium: Sweet & Spicy and Spicy Zax Sauce.
• Hot: Tongue Torch, the default Buffalo sauce.
• Very hot: Nashville Hot Dry Rub.
• Hottest: Nuclear.

If you pick Nuclear, order a cup of ranch on the side. You will thank us later.

Kidz Meals

Treats & Milkshakes

Drinks, Tea & Lemonade

Sweet tea is the star here, as you would expect from a Southern chain. Lemonade comes in classic and strawberry, fresh or frozen.

Zax Packz Family Meals

Zax Packz are boxed meals made for sharing. They are a smart pick for a family dinner or a game night.

Catering Platters

Planning a party or an office lunch? Platters start at the smallest size, and the price goes up with the size you pick.

Boxed Lunches

Boxed lunches are packed one by one. They work well for teams, meetings and events.

Specials & Limited-Time Items

Specials come and go. Some may not be on your local menu, so check the app before you drive over.

Cheapest Items on the Zaxby’s Menu

Watching your budget? Start with the small items. Texas Toast is $1.29 and a Chocolate Chip Cookie is $1.49. Cole Slaw and Asian Slaw are $1.99 each. Nibblerz are $2.49, and Crinkle Fries are $2.79.

The cheapest full meal is the Big Zax Snak at $8.49. For a group, a Zax Packz with a Gallon of Tea at $5.99 usually costs less than buying single combos.

Which Zaxby’s Meal Is the Best Value?

It depends on how hungry you are. Here is a simple way to choose.

If you want the lowest price, pick the Big Zax Snak at $8.49. It gives you Chicken Fingerz, fries, toast and sauce without the slaw.

If you want a bigger plate, pick the Chicken Finger Plate. A 4-piece costs $10.99, and the 6-piece is only two dollars more. That is a fair deal when you are very hungry.

If you love wings, Wings & Things at $11.49 gives you wings and Fingerz in one meal. It costs only 50 cents more than the 4-piece Plate, so it is easy to love.

If you want something lighter, try a Zalad. The House Zalad is $9.69, and the grilled chicken option keeps it fresh and filling.

Eating with family? A Zax Packz at $36.99 feeds the table and saves you from ordering four separate meals.

Smart Ordering Tips

• Ask for extra Zax Sauce. A cup costs well under a dollar, and it goes fast.
• Get sauce on the side when you order delivery. Wings stay crisp on the ride home.
• Choose grilled chicken on a Zalad for a lighter meal.
• Use the app to see your own store’s price before you pay.
• Order big platters a day ahead so the kitchen can plan.

Not sure what to try first? Go for a 4-piece Chicken Finger Plate with Zax Sauce. Add a cup of Tongue Torch and a sweet tea. That order comes to about $13.87 before tax.
