"This Green Lake counter spot nails Southern-style comfort food with smoked chicken covered in tangy Alabama white sauce, a meatloaf melt on golden Texas toast, and standout sides like cornbread fritters. It’s the kind of food that travels perfectly in a box, whether you’re grabbing a solo meal or spreading out six sides at home like it’s Thanksgiving. Just make sure you end with the banana pudding icebox cake—you’ll regret it if you don’t." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This new Green Lake spot just joined the exclusive club of great Seattle restaurants with Southern influences. You can’t go wrong with the half chicken slathered in a lemony Alabama white sauce that gets into every nook of the smoky skin. And standout sides include soupy rosemary white beans and cornbread fritters with fresh kernels that pop out of crispy fried sides like protons on an atom. The small space makes Zax’s more ideal for takeout, but if that means tearing into a slice of banana pudding ice box cake in the car on the ride home, we’re fine with that." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo

And for dessert, they have ice box cake." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"A Southern takeout concept playing on the 'meat and three' format, featuring entrees like smoked chicken dressed in Alabama white sauce (a horseradish-based sauce), a variety of vegetable sides, and classic desserts such as icebox cakes; positioned as a rare non-barbecue Southern spot in the city." - Harry Cheadle
"A Southern-style barbecue joint is coming to Green Lake. The name says it all—you’ll choose a meat along with two-to-three sides, which might include things like hot honey cornbread fritters and braised rosemary white beans. Menu teasers indicate they’ll have ice box cake, too." - gabe guarente
