Zaxby’s is about to kick its menu up a notch with the debut of the new Zensation Fillet Sandwich and the return of the fan-favorite 'The Zensation Salad.'
The new Zensation Fillet Sandwich is a hearty sandwich with a satisfying crunch. The sandwich starts with two slices of thick Texas toast, topped with a hand-breaded chicken fillet, a crunchy Asian-style slaw, crispy Wonton strips, and a creamy citrus vinaigrette. The sandwich can be enjoyed as on its own, or as part of a combo with Crinkle Fries, an egg roll, and a drink.
If you're looking to cut down your carb intake, The Zensation Salad combines a similar blend of crispy Wonton strips, carrots, Asian slaw, red cabbage, and hand-breaded chicken with fresh mixed greens.
