Zax is a wholesome little lunch place up in the northern Phoenix area. When you walk in, it's a little bit overwhelming, but reminds me of a place that my grandma may have been hired to decorate. There is tons of picnic table-style seating, various nic-nacks, and a TV playing TV land episodes at the forefront of the seating area - strange but it works!
The place was packed at lunch but I will admit they were QUICK at taking my order. I would recommend calling ahead because it can take about 10-15 minutes for the food to be ready.
Prices are reasonable - 5-6 bucks for a delicous sandwich, and they also have entrees like chicken tenders, lasagne, and spaghetti that are $6.95 a piece - reasonable!
If you work in a relaxed environment, you can also grab a mid-day bottle of beer, wine, or for those of us in corporate America - one of many assorted energy drinks.
