Site work has begun at the location and it's rumored to be opening in March.

That would be great, but hard to believe. Build the building and have employees trained by March?

If only one would come to Virginia Beach...looks like I may have a new place to go to when I visit Lynchburg.

According to these tweets from last month, Zaxby's will be opening in February

@Zaxbys do you have a grand opening date for Lynchburg yet??! I'll be there camping out! #indescribablygood #kickinchicken #bigzax #zalads

@Brett_Met Hi Brett, that location is scheduled to open in February. Check back w/us for the Grand Opening announcement.

'Zaxby's- The Official Finger of LU Athletics'

[alabama24]

Is that the "Digitus Maximus" combo?

[LUconn]

Full disclosure: I like zaxby's. They have decent chicken. Great Texas toast. Crinkle fries, which are the best kind of fries. And then the kickin chicken sandwich which is chicken fingers hot sauce in between 2 slices of toast.

Now having admitted that it's a pretty good restaurant, this whole Lynchburg acting like any new restaurant is the Beetles on their first US tour is pretty embarrassing. Large crowds, (fat) girls fainting, etc. Heck, it's not even just restaurants! You couldn't go near that new grocery store for weeks. It was a grocery store! I'm thinking about getting a group of investors together that just opens things, any thing, and either sells it a month later or closes down and then reopens somewhere else.


On a side note, O'Kelly's quietly opened next to Arby's with little fanfare and I imagine it's doing about as well as Myrt's which preceded it. I think that building is just invisible or something.

There is a building next to Arby's?

Love me some O'Kelly's

Myrt's did great business for a long time. The folks just retired and it went south.
O'Kelleys is ok, I'd rather have Jersey Mike's

That Texas Toast is heavenly.

Heavenly? Really? I do like it, and so does my waistline. Two votes?

I enjoy Zaxby's and generally stop at least twice on vacation. I think it is a cheaper, quicker version of BWW... without the Giant TV screens.

Especially at Buffet's. Really LARGE crowds.

I think Proto has a group that already does this, just join up with him.

Like the humor;) It's the truth about this area. Customers are very quick to support and then quickly die down... As a business owner you have to make quick decisions. The Wards market is a tough place to survive - there is a reason we call it a discount destination. Arosto is doing great, but I will be the first to admit putting a Bloop on Wards was a mistake. Moving the store in Appo has been a huge improvement... Wyndhurst to Cornerstone was a lease issue. Our lease ran out and didn't want to renew it there... Jury still out there - we haven't done the best at providing best product there and/or engaging with customers, but we are trying.

That's it - only two business we have opened and moved. Nothing closed yet, fortunately;)

I really like toast and am quite picky with it, so when someone nails it down right, I think heavenly is an apt description.

I'm a big fan of the seasoning salt they use on the fries. I always ask for a side order and usually take some home with me. It tastes great on nearly everything. It evens makes broccoli appealing.

The seasoning at Cook Out is MUCH better. It'll put some hair on your chest Sly.

Are you really telling me that the so-bland-you-can-hardly-tell-it's-there seasoning on the sometimes mushy Zaxby's fries is BETTER than the Cajun seasoning at Cook Out?

What I AM saying is the season fries at the Philly a Cheese steak place by Glass are better than anyone's. And Zaxby's is 2nd

[Sly Fox]

Yeah, the guy in Houston wouldn't know anything about Cajun seasoning. HaHa

I've never heard of this place. Is it on Memorial or Langhorne? And what's it called?
