We love Zhays! We eat here often and have never had a bad meal. I love their wings, fries with ranch, BLT salad and broiled fish especially. Come on out and eat here and support local!

I have been wanting to try this place for some time now, finally me and my wife went to try it today 4/12/22. I’m glad we did. The establishment was very clean and are waiter was very nice and accommodating, prices are great and the food was amazing from the appetizer to our meal. I had the half rack of ribs, I would definitely recommend trying them. We will be frequenting this place often from now on. 5 stars from us!

Zhay’s is an hidden gem in Lincolnton. The food was was amazing along with the staff, especially Nichole. The chef owns it and shows the love for his restaurant in his food. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone that is wanting fantastic food, relaxed environment, and excellent service.
Fantastic first experience at Zhay's in Lincolnton !! Lauren, our server was great !! You have to try the deep fried deviled eggs!! They were awesome!!

Potatoes greasy, fried oakra Greasy. Small portions for what u pay. We sat there about 10 minutes before waitress finally said has anyone waited on you. Didn't bring menus or silverware napkins. My husband asked for chicken breast and 2 vegetables. They brought chicken pieces in sauted vegetables. And the additional 2vegs. I took 40 min to get our food. When we got our bill they charged us 3$ apiece for each vegetables when menu said it came with. Did refund when we asked. Will not be back.

So their idea of garlic parm wings is wing with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on them and some parsley. Nothing else. I also couldnt even bite through the pasta it was so tough. And it took them about 40 minutes to make that. The tea tasted like they brew it 3 weeks ago and let it age before serving. My dog can make better food than this.

Brought our nephew and his family here for lunch, as they are from out of town, thought it would be a good experience. Ordered appetizers, once they came, it took the waitresses another 30 minutes to take our order, then another hour plus for the food to start coming out and not at the same time. 2 small children were not happy. 2 plates came out, 10 minutes another plate 15 minutes the final burger made it out. Bottom buns were hard as a brick, chili tasted burnt, "crispy" wrap was nothing but a limp burrito, Waitress never came over to inform us of what was going on with our food, and when we asked she just said idiots in the kitchen don't know what they are doing. 1st time there and last time there. And embarrassed that we took our nephew here for an experience in our town. This was much better when it was in the old pizza hot line place.

It was fine. They have changed back to a more casual feel, which I don't mind but didn't expect. Fried asparagus is gone! ? But the sauteed potatoes were AMAZING! My husband said the country fried steak was pretty terrible, but everything else was good.Also, be mindful of the vents blowing on you.

Went out with my family for a nice dinner expecting a very impressive atmosphere. The food was very less than impressive. Will not recommend it to anyone.
