Zaxby's Menu Prices (2026)
Zaxby's is a Southeastern chicken chain known for its Chicken Fingerz, its Zalads, and a house sauce — Zax Sauce — that most regulars order extra of. The menu is organised around numbered plates and meals rather than individual items, which makes combos the default rather than the upsell.
The value structure is unusually clear. The Big Zax Snak Meal is the cheapest complete meal, the Chicken Finger Plate is the volume order, and the party platters are where the per-finger cost drops sharply for groups.
