Not much difference between that and Canes, either way, both are overpriced and not worth the hype/price. I know I’m in the minority, but as far as I’m concerned Chick-fil-A is at the top of the chicken places that print money, that aren’t that great. These chicken places hold up traffic, take hard earned money, and for what? A 12 year old kid with a little parenting could produce better chicken than all 3 combined.

Chick Fil A - chicken is shrinking. Lately, I have seen some of the smallest sandwiches out there from Chick Fil A. Almost getting to the point of being like the old Krystal burgers but chicken.

Part of that was due to a poor location and it being hard to access due to road construction that started right after opening

But other than their salads, it's pretty meh overall

I feel like canes has fallen off in size, but the taste and dipping sauce is far superior to zaxbys.

Never noticed too much salt at Zaxbys, but I don't eat there much. Foosackly's or Publix is usually where I go for chicken fingers.

Zaxby's does have some good salads.

Jack's has some decent chicken, but you will only find Jack's in Alabama.

Never had it, but to be fair the construction on Verot School Rd. probably had a lot to do with it closing so fast. I did try the Foosackly's in Foley and can say I thought it was better than Cane's.

I cannot understand why the state that gave us KrispyKrunchy chicken even considers Zaxby's or Caines as options for fried chicken. What am I missing?

I agree. Canes is shite. Maybe back when it was 5 bucks for a 5 piece it was fine.

But $12 for a 4 piece? Yea that’s insane lol

There’s a Jack’s in West Point, MS. I think they might have a few more Mississippi locations

don’t associate Zaxbys with salty flavor at all.


because Canes is so bland and boring that flavor at all surprises people that eat Canes.

KrispyKrunchy chicken
this is my go to. It’s cheaper, more flavorful, more options (tenders, bone in, sides) and you can grab a 6 pack while there. No reason to go elsewhere
