How to Order From the Zaxby’s Menu
- Choose your main: Chicken Fingerz, wings, a sandwich, a wrap or a Zalad.
- Pick regular or large, and choose your sauce or dry rub for wings and Fingerz.
- Make it a meal with fries and a drink, or swap sides if your restaurant allows it.
- Add extras such as Fried Pickles, Tater Chips, extra Zax Sauce or a milkshake.
- Order at the counter, in the drive-thru or ahead in the Zaxby’s app for faster pickup.
If you are new to the Zaxby’s menu, start with a regular Chicken Finger Plate and try one wing sauce on the side. Many regulars order the Fingerz “tossed” in a sauce such as Tongue Torch or a dry rub such as Garlic Parmesan for extra flavor at little or no extra cost. Ask for extra Zax Sauce if you love dipping — one cup rarely feels like enough.
Vegetarian & Lighter Options at Zaxby’s
The Zaxby’s menu is focused on chicken, so vegetarian choices are limited. A garden House Zalad or Cobb Zalad without chicken, Tater Chips, fries and Fried Pickles are the main meat-free options, but they are cooked in shared fryers and kitchens. For a lighter meal, order a grilled chicken Zalad with dressing on the side, skip the Texas toast, and drink unsweetened tea or water instead of sweet tea or a milkshake.
Best Items to Try on the Zaxby’s Menu
- Chicken Finger Plate – the classic Zaxby’s order with every signature side.
- Boneless Wings & Things – wings and Fingerz on one plate.
- Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich – for fans of spicy buffalo chicken.
- Cobb Zalad – a filling salad with fried or grilled chicken.
- Fried Pickles – the best starter to share.

Zaxby’s Menu Compared With Other Chicken Chains
The Zaxby’s menu is most often compared with Raising Cane’s and Chick-fil-A. Raising Cane’s has an even smaller menu — only chicken fingers with fries, toast, slaw and Cane’s Sauce — while Zaxby’s adds wings, sandwiches, wraps, salads and many sauces. Chick-fil-A is famous for its pressure-cooked chicken sandwich and nuggets and has a breakfast menu, which Zaxby’s does not. Zaxby’s prices are similar to Cane’s for a finger plate and a little higher than Chick-fil-A for a sandwich meal, but portions are generous and the sauce choice is much wider.
Zaxby’s Nutrition & Allergens
Calories on the Zaxby’s menu vary widely. Fried plates with fries, toast and sauce are high in calories, while grilled Zalads with dressing on the side are the lightest meals. Swapping fries for a side salad and choosing grilled chicken can cut hundreds of calories. For full nutrition and allergen information, use the official Zaxby’s menu and nutrition information.
