| - When I come to visit the bf and he's coming off of work, we often end up looking for food at like 9-10pm. Not all the great options are open on a weekday at 10pm, and we often end up with second rate food options because that's all that's left.
This time, I happened to find Zanzibar on Yelp, and noticed they're open until 1am on Friday and had pretty good reviews. Lucky me!
I got the honey fried chicken, which came with delicious corn bread muffins, and 2 sides. I got the potatoes (which were a little too cheesy for my taste), and the corn (delish! but it got too salty after a few bites). The chicken was lightly battered and covered in a honey sauce. Yummy.
The bf got the bbq beef shank. I was expecting some large bone of meat, but it looked more like pot roast or something when it came out. It tasted yummy, came with 2 sides and the corn bread. He got cole slaw and wild rice. The cole slaw paired better with my friend chicken, so of course, I ate it for him.
The service was great. Every time I thought I wanted something, the server appeared. The iced tea drinks are sweet tea... be ware if you aren't a fan of super super sweet beverages. I watered mine down with 2 glasses of water, so I guess I won't get sweet tea next time. Good price -- it was a relatively bargain priced meal for the size of the portions. We'll probably end up going back on some late night search for food. Go check it out.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
