The cleanest zaxbys I’ve visited. Their Manager Ana is top tier, very helpful in handling a situation professionally and greets when walking through the doors or walks around ready to service people, it’s so sweet watching her greet the elderly and ask if they need any extra assistance from them. Workers are very patient with the kids, great team leads! Bathrooms are always clean when visiting, someone is always walking around cleaning off the counters, tables, and drying /cleaning up the drink station. Their manager is an example of great leadership and can teach the other restaurants a thing or two.
