More than three decades since its founding in Stateboro, GA the beloved fast food chicken brand Zaxby’s, is opening not one, but two locations in New York this summer. And we’ve gotta say… New York City ain’t ready! Keep scrolling to learn all about Zaxby’s national expansion & new roots in New York.
Where are the new New York locations?

Right now, there are just two Zaxby’s locations in New York (can you imagine!), located in:
- The Bronx: Located at 3260 Boston Road in the Bronx, the restaurant opened on June 29th
- Manhattan: Zaxbys second New York restaurant will open later this summer in Manhattan’s Upper East Side at 1267 First Avenue
To celebrate its New York debut, the brand will host ribbon cutting events at both locations later this year.
Bernard Acoca, Chief Executive Officer of Zaxbys, said in a statement,
New York is one of the most influential food cities in the world, and we’re incredibly proud to introduce Zaxbys to this market. Opening our first two restaurants in New York this summer marks an exciting milestone in our growth journey and a significant chapter in our expansion across the Northeast. Whether its Southern transplants looking for a taste of home or New Yorkers discovering our Chicken Fingerz and signature sauces for the first time, we’re excited to share the Southern hospitality and bold flavor experiences that have made Zaxbys a fan favorite for more than 35 years.

Zaxbys is definitely an Atlanta staple, akin to Waffle House and Chick-fil-A down here, but we’re happy to share it with our neighbors up north!
And hey, maybe y’all can send down some 99 cent pizza slices, while you’re enjoying your Big Zax Snak Meal! Haha!
