I park into Zaxbys only to realize I've gone all day without my wallet. I'm about to inquire about tap to pay options using my cell phone (been years since I used it). Needed an update and I was about to walk out empty handed when an employee just hands me a large drink cup for free. Well, it was high time I returned (with a wallet) for an actual meal. Second trip I roll in and order the half tenders half boneless to go with a large drink. Head back to the truck and dig in. The boneless was nicely sauced and the tenders were fine with the provided dipping sauces. Sides, well there aren't many choices. Same as that Canes place. This unfortunately is happening too often in these chicken chains. Fries and slaw are fine but I want variety in sides so you don't go into boredom. Credit to Golden Chick for having AMAZING Dirty Rice. Popeyes for Red Beans and Rice. Fried Okra at Church's Texas Chicken. Extra star for the excellent service.

And if I'm not going back, chances are darn good that my wife isn't either. Zaxby's is on Old San Antonio Road in Buda in the midst of Fast-Food Franchise Row. Karen and I were trying this place for the first time in the two years we have lived in Turner's Crossing. The fast-food zone is very convenient to us, so it is often a last-minute destination. However, it wasn't the food that got my tighty whities in a bunch. I was flabbergasted after getting an order including wings slathered in barbecue sauce when we were told they were out of napkins. Did they expect us to wipe our fingers on our clothes? Or just lick them clean? The vinyl upholstery in the booths was beckoning, but I figured that was probably a bridge too far. An employee just shrugged her shoulders, basically wondering what we expected her to do. We told her to find some paper towels in the kitchen or refund our money and we'd go elsewhere. They found the paper towels. We also suggested that they warn customers about the lack of napkins BEFORE they order finger food covered with sauce. Food was edible but nothing to rave about. Karen had the veggie egg rolls. She finished them, but pronounced them nondescript. Certainly not worth a return visit. I had a combo plate of the nicely sauced wings and some pretty good chicken fingers. My bone-in wings were meaty and decent, but the chicken fingers and especially the fries were over-salted. Most of the chicken fingers came home with me for lunch tomorrow because I really enjoy that stuff cold too. There's also a limit to how much salt I can ingest at one sitting. The thick-cut fries were actually quite tasty, but after a few bites the salt just became overwhelming. Of course, our enjoyment may have been colored by the apparent lack of interest in paying customers. Also the decor was the most depressing of any fast-food place I have been to in the area.

Waited way too long for soggy food

Chicken is great, fries nicely seasoned!!! Sauce isn't as good as Raising Cain's honestly but good too.

Very Disappointed -- We Won't Be Returning…read more This place used to be one of our favorites, but unfortunately, things have really gone downhill since the refurbishment. The menu has changed, the portions are noticeably smaller, and the prices have gone way up. I don't mind paying for good food, but I do expect the food and experience to justify the price. This is starting to feel like the prices of the downtown tourist spots, as if they think we're in Fredericksburg. Most of the people who live here are hardworking, middle-class families. We don't mind spending money, but we shouldn't have to pay premium prices for smaller portions simply because a restaurant has a Main Street view. Sadly, this used to be a favorite of ours. It isn't anymore, and we won't be returning. Start looking at why places are closing down, because you're NOT getting community support! I wonder why? I would like to say that the service has always been good it's just the prices and how they charge for everything separately now.. nope!

I went in just hoping they'd put a salad in a wrap and they were so accommodating! The manager (I think) even confirmed each ingredient and suggested skipping the croutons which I agreed with. The wrap really hit the spot! Only small complaint was that they panini pressed the wrap which led to some limp lettuce- I didn't know the wraps would be pressed. But this was a small issue and the wrap was satisfying. The husband got a sandwich and said it was good though the bread was cut a little unevenly. All in all I'd come back for the great service alone.

I just received a sandwich from them for lunch today via delivery. I only get tomato, spinach and onion as vegetables, so there is plenty of room to add all 3.

I know the cost of things are expensive, but I think they could spare a few more slices of their extra thinly sliced vegetables. This sandwich today. I picked off the banana pepper, im not sure if they added that by accident or if my husband put it on the order.

That's extra extra greens after a 3rd request....

That said I'll be brief as if you've been to Arby's, outside of service, the food should be about the same. As far as sides go, their curly fries are the best fries in the fast-food business. The reason is simple, they're unique and very well-seasoned. The mozzarella stick are ok but lets face it, any fast food join that sells them, purchases these generic frozen sticks and fries them. So, I'd rate them average for fast-food but below average if comparing them to sit down restaurants. Their soft drinks are much like any other chain however where we diverge from the norm are their Jamocha shakes. If you like a coffee flavor in your shake this is pretty good, otherwise their shakes are on par with all others that you can zip in and purchase within minutes. Again, if you've had Arby's before there food should be familiar to you. The roast beef sandwiches (with Arby's & Horsey sauce) are really good. I used to work there in my teen years and I can tell you yes, they cook the big slabs of meat every morning. I wish they brought back the super as it has lettuce and tomato on it, but I digress. One of the things about Arby's is they're not afraid to offer interesting sandwiches outside of their best sellers. The Ruben is pretty good for fast-food. Using their signature beef as the base, then pile on sauerkraut, melted Swiss and thousand island dressing. It's actually really good. The "Greek" gyro is decent as I'm not sure what meat they use but it's not even close to authentic but the rest of the sandwich is tasty. Just don't expect the quality of someone that specializes in that food culture. When they have the Italian Sub it's surprisingly good. Not as good as those specialty shops but not bad. Overall I don't eat fast-food often and when I do Arby's is a once in a year thing for me at best. But when one considers their roast beef sandwiches, well no one else has something like it so they've cornered the market so to say. That along with their sauces, I'm actually now craving their food. Summing things up, this store is on par with any other of their facilities so if you're craving them, don't be afraid to drop by the place that claims "we have the meats!"
