There were only 4, but apparently, they were all closed earlier this week with no prior notice. There are 2 in Tulsa. Not sure of their status.

There are a ton of other fast food chicken places operating around here, so no great loss.

All the ones in South Louisiana closed a few months ago AFAIK, but the ones in Monroe and Mississippi are still open.

This implies it is a franchisee issue.

It’s the worst food chain ever in my opinion. I’d rather eat at Checkers

Zaxbys sucks. Canes isn’t great either, but Zaxbys is worse than Todd’s tiny fingers

This is a wild take

I think it's pretty good. Best ever? Nah, but pretty good. There are some straight inedible food chains. You want Long John Silvers over Zaxbys?

The one near our house is always packed. It's also really clean and they hire polite high school kids to work there like the old days of fast food. Good experience.

Zaxby's fingers were always tiny, at least the ones I went to 15+ years ago. I always saw it as Canes Jr.

They made the ranch packets smaller. But are happy to sell you extras. Classic enshittification.

They are going downhill. They get bought by private equity or something?

Slim chickens is in trouble

There’s one by my house that literally never has anybody in line, and I drive past it every single day

It’s been there for over a year and it blows my mind how it is still even open

There is a raising Cane‘s less than a mile away that has a line wrapped around the building 24/7

Ours in Zachary closed 3-4 months ago. They can't compete with Cane's.

Maybe everybody suddenly realized they were paying a king's ransom for a fricking chicken strip.

I've had it twice when I was truly out of options.

When the ones in BR closed, they still had online ordering open. I was searching for lunch a couple of weeks after they shuttered, and Zaxby still showed up in Google. I had their app, so I opened it, and it let me create an order for the closed site. I didn’t submit it because they were fricking closed, but their app sure hadn’t been updated.

Often times, when you see all in one town, it's a franchisee issue.

The franchise ownership group probably failed. And corporate probably didn't take it over because they did research and found that the reputation was too poor to continue operations.
