Zaxby’s Sauces & Dressings
Zax Sauce is the brand’s signature dip, but the sauce lineup runs much deeper. Wing sauces are organized by heat level, from Wimpy on the mild end up to Insane.
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Sauce | $0.25 | 20 to 190 |
| Extra Dressing | $0.25 | 35 to 180 |
| 8oz Sauce | $2.99 | 120 to 1,040 |
| Sauce Sampler (12 flavors) | $3.99 | 1,240 |
Wing Sauce Heat Levels
- Wimpy: mild
- Tongue Torch: medium
- Nuclear: hot
- Insane: extreme
BBQ and Zax Sauce are not part of the heat-level scale, they’re flavor-forward rather than spicy, and both show up in the 12-flavor Sauce Sampler alongside the four heat tiers.
More Sauce Flavors Worth Knowing
- Zax Sauce: the house sauce that shows up in most combos by default, tangy and slightly sweet.
- Sweet & Spicy Asian Zing: a sticky sweet-heat glaze, the most requested wing flavor after Zax Sauce.
- Teriyaki: a milder sweet option for anyone at the table skipping heat entirely.
- Nuclear and Insane: the two genuine heat options, order these only if you actually want spice.
On a 16-piece wing order there’s enough to split between two sauces. Sweet & Spicy Asian Zing paired with Nuclear or Insane is a common combination for a table that wants both mild and hot.

Nutrition and Allergen Information
Zaxby’s fried items, including the Chicken Fingerz, Boneless Wings, Traditional Wings, and Crinkle Fries, are not gluten free, since the coating and fryer are shared across items. Grilled Chicken items are the safer starting point for a gluten sensitivity, though cross-contact in a shared kitchen is still possible.
Common allergens across the menu include wheat, soy, egg, milk, and fish (used in some fryer oil at certain locations). There is no dedicated dairy-free or vegan menu, but the House Zalad without cheese or dressing comes closest to a lighter, allergen-reduced option.
Zaxby’s is not certified halal at the corporate level. A small number of independently owned locations in areas with high demand have made local halal-certification arrangements, so confirm directly with a specific restaurant rather than assuming chain-wide certification.
For a full item-by-item breakdown, including sodium and full allergen tables, the official nutrition guide at the Zaxby’s website is the most current source, since exact numbers shift as recipes change.
Zaxby’s vs Other Chicken Chains
Zaxby’s is one of four chicken-focused chains covered on this site. Here is how it compares to the others.
| Chain | Known For | Starting Combo Price |
|---|---|---|
| Zaxby’s | Sauce-forward fingerz and wings, Zalads, deep catering menu | $8.99 to $13.59 |
| Raising Cane’s | Single-item focus on chicken fingers and Cane’s Sauce, fast turnaround | $8.99 to $11.99 |
| KFC | Original Recipe fried chicken, buckets, value combos | $6.99 to $10.99 |
| El Pollo Loco | Fire-grilled, citrus-marinated chicken, Mexican-inspired sides | $7.99 to $11.99 |
| Chick-fil-A | Consistent quality across locations, fast drive-thru, waffle fries | $7.50 to $11.00 |
Zaxby’s runs a wider menu than Raising Cane’s, with Zalads and quesadillas Cane’s does not offer, but Cane’s tends to move faster since its menu is smaller. KFC generally prices lower per piece on bucket-style orders. El Pollo Loco is the grilled alternative to all three fried options. Chick-fil-A wins on speed and location-to-location consistency, but Zaxby’s combo builds tend to include more food per order, wings, Zalads, and sauce variety Chick-fil-A does not run. Neither Zaxby’s nor Chick-fil-A serves breakfast at most locations, so this comparison holds for lunch and dinner.
See the full Raising Cane’s Menu, KFC Menu, and El Pollo Loco Menu for complete pricing. A dedicated Chick-fil-A page is not yet live on this site.
How to Get the Most Out of the Zaxby’s Menu
- Start with the Chicken Finger Plate or Big Zax Snak. Both are built as the benchmark combo, compare anything else on the menu against these before assuming you want something different.
- Go grilled if calories matter. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich and grilled Zalad options run noticeably lower in calories than their fried counterparts while keeping the same sauce options.
- Mix sauces on a 16-piece wing order. At that size there’s enough to split between two flavors, a mild and a hot pairing covers most tables.
- Do the math on Zax Packz before ordering individually. For three or more people, a Zax Pack usually beats the total of separate combo meals.
- Ask for extra Zax Sauce. It comes standard with most combos, but the portion is small, and extra cups are cheap.
Service Options and Ordering, Delivery, and Hours
Zaxby’s runs a standard dine-in, drive-thru, and takeout setup at most locations, plus curbside pickup and delivery through third-party apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Delivery pricing runs higher than in-store pricing since the apps add service and delivery fees on top of menu prices.
Most Zaxby’s locations accept Apple Pay, credit cards, and mobile payments in-store, at the drive-thru, and through the Zaxby’s app. Free refills are available for fountain drinks and tea when dining in, though this can vary by location for takeout orders.
Zaxby’s Hours
- Weekdays: 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM
- Weekends: 10:30 AM to 11:00 PM
Hours can run shorter on major holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter, and some locations close entirely. Check your specific restaurant’s listing before a holiday visit.
Zaxby’s Prices by State
Zaxby’s started in Georgia and has grown into a mostly Southern and Southeastern footprint, though it continues expanding into new states. Search demand for Zaxby’s pricing comes in heavily by city rather than by state, real, current searches include Keller, Texas, Melbourne, Florida, Americus, Georgia, Starkville, Mississippi, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and dozens of other individual towns.
Pricing runs slightly higher in larger metro areas and lower in smaller Southern towns where the chain has deep roots. If your city is not listed by name here, expect pricing close to the ranges in the tables above, local rent and labor costs are the main driver of any difference.
The Story Behind Zaxby’s
Zaxby’s opened its first restaurant in March 1990 in Statesboro, Georgia, near Georgia Southern University. Childhood friends Zach McLeroy and Tony Townley, who met in middle school in Athens, Georgia, each put up $8,000 to start the restaurant, originally called “Zax,” built around one idea: chicken fingerz and Buffalo wings made with real flavor instead of speed alone.
The concept expanded outside Georgia for the first time in September 1994, opening in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Zaxby’s became one of the early “quick casual” chains, blending fast food speed with a more complete, sit-down-style menu. Today the chain runs more than 900 locations, concentrated across the Southern United States and expanding into new states through franchise growth.
