Husband-and-wife licensees Shannon and Julie Brown will open the doors to Chattanooga’s fourth Zaxby’s restaurant this Monday. The new restaurant is located at 623 Signal Mountain Road, across the street from the Komatsu manufacturing plant. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and Buffalo wings, Zaxby’s will operate from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
“We’ve always wanted to bring a Zaxby’s to this area of Chattanooga,” said Shannon Brown, who owns five additional locations, two in Chattanooga, one in Soddy-Daisy and one in Ooltewah, as well as one in Fort Oglethorpe.
“We’ve built our reputation and loyal following in this community by providing excellent service and great-tasting food, and we plan to carry on that tradition with this new, convenient location.”
The new 3,400-square-foot location will seat 70 in Zaxby’s unique design - custom vintage prints and school memorabilia. Zaxby’s also offers drive-thru services.
“We’ve assembled a great group of team members who will deliver on the Zaxby’s mission to ‘consistently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time,’” said Shannon Brown.
The new location will be the seventh for Hamilton County, and the 54th for the Volunteer State.
Zaxby’s currently operates more than 550 locations in 13 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
An alternative to fast food, Zaxby’s offers prepared-at-order chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads. Zaxby’s most popular items are its hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Jumbo Buffalo Wings, smothered in a choice of nine sauces with names like Wimpy, Tongue Torch, Nuclear and Insane.
The menu also offers innovative Zappetizers like Tater Chips, Spicy Fried Mushrooms and Fried White Cheddar Bites, as well as a variety of Party Platterz perfect for any family gathering or special occasion.
Zaxby’s also offers three salads, or Zalads: The House, The Blue and The Caesar. All of Zaxby’s Zalads offer more chicken, unique ingredients, such as French-fried onions, fresh veggies and juicy tomatoes, and are larger than most salads offered elsewhere. Each is prepared with chicken, three kinds of lettuce and a variety of toppings. Zalads are assembled at the time the order is placed, versus being pre-made and stored in a cooler.
Additionally, Zaxby’s offers Milkshakes at participating locations, which come in chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavors. They are rich and creamy, hand-blended, and are topped with whipped cream.
