Zaxby's

A Zaxby's with airplane decor.  Old.  Kind of dirty.   It's been here since at least 1997.  Amazing to think that a fledgling chain like Zaxby's would build in Sumter back in '97.  It still gets 4-stars.  Zaxby's is incredible.  They've really got the fast food chicken market nailed down in the south.  Just delicious.

This place has spoiled me for hot wings and everything else chicken (except the chicken sandwich, that honor belongs to Chic-fil-A).  The food is a little expensive but you get a pretty big portion.  For example, a 5-piece of buffalo strips (which will be served with a few carrot & celery sticks) will run around $4-5 but they're big pieces and will fill you to the point of wondering whether you can finish all 5.  A 10-piece will guarantee you leftovers to snack on later.

My wife has gotten the Zalads (SIC) and they come on a huge platter.  She claims they're just as filling as any other item on the menu.

The sauces come in a variety of heat intensities and flavors, each with a creative little name.  I think 'Nuclear' is the one I like best.

Preparation isn't as quick as 'fast food' but doesn't take as long as a restaurant.
