Zaxby's is a franchised chain of fast casual restaurants that operates primarily in the Southeastern United States with 500 locations. Zaxby's 500th location opened in Tifton, Georgia the summer of 2010. The first Zaxby's was opened in Statesboro, Georgia, near the Georgia Southern University campus, by Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley. Their menu is built around buffalo chicken wings, "chicken fingers", sandwiches with fries, and salads (i.e., "zalads"). It follows in the footsteps of another chicken fingers-based restaurant: Guthrie's, in 1978, in Alabama. Zaxby's offers a wide variety of dipping sauces, such as the "original Zax Sauce". Coca-Cola's brands of soft drinks are served, as well. The dining rooms at Zaxby's restaurants are decorated with assorted whimsical objects and posters, which often vary in theme by location and which occasionally are regionally aware. For instance, at one location in Gainesville, Florida, objects related to the University of Florida Gators are used as decorations, while at the Tallahassee, Florida location, objects related to the Florida State University Seminoles are used. Similarly, at the Orlando, Florida location, citrus-industry themed decorations line the walls.
Zaxby's are located in all of the southern states except for Louisiana (although new locations will be established there soon), Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
