This place has been on the list for a bit and finally made it in. My previous attempt was foiled when they ran out of food but not so this time. Parking is off street behind the building or you can find a street spot in the local neighborhood. Very nice family running the place-the kids were present during the supper hours and we had very pleasant interactions with them all. I had the pork shoulder. It was tender, moist and delicious. I'll go back to try other options. Between my friend and me, I believe we tried all the side dishes. He is vegetarian and none of the vegetable sides were safe on his plate nor did they last long. The fritters were delicious as was everything else. Finished with banana pudding. One of the owners proudly showed a new bundt cake flavor they are testing out. It looked very good but sadly it wasn't available. Recommended, but if it's getting to the end of the evening, especially on a weekend you should probably check to see what is still available.

A great southern restaurant with good portions well worth the money. I enjoyed the smoked chicken with miso green beans and glazed carrots. The meatloaf is also delicious as well as the corn fritters. The iced tea is perfect, not too sweet, not to tart. The owners are super friendly and family oriented. There are a couple of parking spaces in the back. The place is pretty small, but makes up for it with the wonderful welcoming experience and the delicious food. Deserts are great as well.

Zax Eat & Three absolutely blew us away. The miso green beans were to die for, perfectly seasoned with that deep umami flavor that keeps you going back for just one more bite and then five more. The gochujang pork literally melted in my mouth, tender, rich, and packed with bold flavor without being overpowering. The smoked chicken was unbelievably juicy and fresh. You can taste the care in every bite, smoky, tender, and cooked to perfection. The slaw was so unique and refreshing, not your typical side at all. And the house made pickles were crisp, bright, and the perfect balance of tang and crunch. The cornbread fritters were absolutely next level. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, unlike anything I’ve had before. And that Alabama white sauce… wow. Creamy, tangy, perfectly balanced, so good you will want to put it on everything or honestly just eat it with a spoon. What truly sets Zax Eat & Three apart though is the incredible staff and owners. You can feel the passion and pride they have for what they’re creating. They are welcoming, genuine, and make you feel like family the moment you walk in. The warmth and hospitality match the quality of the food, which makes the entire experience unforgettable. Every single item tasted intentional, fresh, and crafted with love. Zax Eat & Three is the real deal. 10 out of 10 recommend. I will definitely be back.
