Going in at 1038 Wards Ferry Rd. (Behind Logan's Roadhouse and before Target).

Flames Nation tweeted that it was rumored, but I found some links that make it look promising :D

Zaxby's chicken strips are better than Chick Fil A's.

I said it.

Don't forget the Zaxby's sauce and the Texas Toast. I will say the fries are a toss up. They are different but both good

Chick Fil A's sandwiches are better.

Why would you get a sandwich at Zaxby's?

I don't like chicken sandwiches for the most part so that is why I am such a big Zaxby's fan...and Zax sauce, yeah you can't beat it. All this talk about it ended with me grabbing dinner from there tonight, haha

My wife isnt a big fried chicken fan so I probably will have to try them by myself.

The menu. Their onion rings are under rated. I usually go with the classic fingers platters and plates.
Their wings are very good

Wow, Lynchburg grows more liveable by the day. My crew are Zaxbys regulars. They are essentially a Raising Canes twin. Canes sauce is a bit stronger but Zaxbys strips are outstanding. My son loves their fried pickles.

My wife prefers Cane's, but that's because of all the pictures of their dogs!

Wings & Things? Kind of out of leftfield but not a bad little chain.

Chick-Fil-A is fast food to me while Zaxbys & Canes are more of a sitdown experience from my perspective. All have drive-thrus but just an observation for the uninitiated.

Wings & Things is a big chain throughout the southwest. Sorry for the error, postie. I rarely pay attention to the wings menu since I usually have the chicken strips dipped in the sauces. I'll give them a try next time we drop by.
