The chicken is delicious and the portions are HUGE! The service at this location was also amazing - the staff was so willing to help us navigate the menu as first timers. They offered suggestions for everyone in our party of 6. I would also recommend the milk shakes...they are delicious and a nice sweet treat to end your meal. The location is big and well kept! We will definitely return.
While on my food tour of the DFW metropolitan area, I decided to check out Shaq's Big Chicken. The restaurant has a fun vibe and the branding definitely grabs your attention, it's not every day you get to eat at a place with Shaq's name on it. Unfortunately, the experience fell flat when it came to value. One sandwich meal, called the Philly Fadeaway, rang up at $13.49. For what you get, that price is shocking. The sandwich itself was bland with very little flavor, and the portion size does not justify the cost by any means. This is a very poor value, especially compared to other fast-casual options in the DFW area. The restaurant was empty during my visit, I was the only customer. The food did come out quickly, but the service left me scratching my head. There are signs that clearly say "Order Here" and "Pick Up Here", so I stood at the counter waiting. Instead, the cashier brought my food over and asked, "Where are you sitting? I have to bring your food to your table!" Thanks for the customer service, but it left me wondering if this confusion is normal here. The one highlight of the meal was the crinkle cut fries, perfectly cooked with great crispness and flavor. Unfortunately, even those couldn't balance out the overall disappointment. Overall, Shaq's Big Chicken may be worth trying once for the novelty and the fries, but when it comes to flavor, and value it just doesn't deliver.
Restaurant is nice and clean bathrooms are separate drinks are self service portions are a good size lemon pepper wings are tasty as well as the barbecue ones. The mac & cheese is a little dry, but it was tasty. The portion for the kids meal of the two tenders with fries was a lot Strawberry watermelon lemonade was real good
First of all, the staff were super helpful and kind. They really seemed to enjoy working here and their have fun attitude was contagious! My server filled up my drink even though it's self serve! That's above and beyond! The place was laid back and not too loud, especially for being a Saturday night with sports games on! I really enjoyed the rustic design of the place as seen in the photos. I even noticed an NBA Jam arcade game by the entrance which is really a neat touch as the owner of this place is Shaq. Getting a meal also came with a pleasant drink selection seen in the photos. I ordered the number 3 meal titled "Unlce Jerome's Nashville Hot" with Fries and a drink. I especially liked their strawberry watermelon drink. The chicken wasn't too spicy and had a pleasant mix of flavor. The fries and ranch were great, as I was pleasantly surprised by the ranch. I will definitely be back!
We really wanted to like this, but it's quite overhyped. The restaurant itself is quite small and narrow, you have to stand between tables and the bar to wait in line since the counter is in the very back. The staff is quite friendly, some more than others, but I think they need to have a better system for milkshakes. We ordered 4 combo meals and the person taking the order recorded 3 so when we were looking at the receipt we had to put in another order before leaving the counter. With our meals we had gotten fountain drinks and also one milkshake. The drink machine was out of ice, and the separate drinks (watermelon) were not very good so we had to wait for them to bring out a container of ice and a scoop just so we could get fountain drinks. At this point we had to find a place to wait so we sat at the bar. Now because this is a small establishment and they make a lot of fried chicken... the whole establishment is very very smoky. So if you're questioning if your glasses are just really dirty or if it's smoky... it's just smoky. The food arrived after a while and the person was nice enough to get us all the sauces to try. That sad part is that they don't really reconcile the ticket to we said our thanks and left... without the milkshake. The food itself for the price... was underwhelming. We expected large loaded chicken sandwiches and were really disappointed. The flavor was also quite lacking. I always recommend everyone try for themselves, but for me, I probably wouldn't choose to go back.
My husband had heard this place was good and wanted to try it out! Being out in Ft Worth it was a bit of a hike from Irving for us but we decided to give it a try one night for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised - the restaurant was not super busy on a friday night at 7:30pm, but it had steady clientele and everything was fresh made to order. They let us try all their sauces. My favorite was the buffalo but I didn't need it unless i got the little dunks again- which is basically popcorn chicken. We both got the chicken sandwich with the mac and cheese on it and we shared a side of fries and a PB milkshake. The sandwiches and the milkshake were SO good! I'm actually glad this isn't closer or i'd want it more often haha. And it was about $35ish if I remember correctly for all the food- next time we would pass on the dunks though, we already had more than enough food.
Just opened and have been ready to try Shaq's place. I ordered the Ultimate sandwich (chicken, onion strings, mac n cheese, Shaq sauce, brioche bun with fries. I cut the onion strings. Sandwich was good size and prepared as ordered. Flavor was good, nothing amazing, but comparable to the other top-end fast food chicken options...won't name drop, you know which ones are better than the others. Fries were excellent! Mac n cheese was ok, might be better as a side and not in the sandwich. Service was good, was asked if I needed a drink refill twice during my visit. Tables were clean too, so great job. As for the interior, it has a large bar inside...yes...liquor and beer bar! It's a bit too big in my opinion and makes walking up to the register a little hard to do...especially if the place is busy. They also had it ICE COLD inside. Just observations and it's new, so they'll figure it out. I'll be back to try another sandwich soon.
Big Chicken is the kind of spot where comfort food meets casual cool--and where you can definitely dig in (literally) to some finger-licking goodness. From the moment we walked in, the friendly and helpful staff made us feel like we were part of the family, shout out to Jaitavia even if Uncle Jerome himself didn't make an appearance. Speaking of Uncle Jerome, his hot chicken sandwich was the standout: crispy, juicy, and packing just enough heat to remind you who's boss. And those tenders? They're not your average chicken strips; they're full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and begging to be dipped into whatever sauce you fancy. The atmosphere was lively yet chill--a perfect backdrop for indulging in fried chicken done right. Big Chicken isn't just a place to eat; it's a place to savor. Whether you're there for a quick bite or planning to settle in for the vibe, it's worth the visit. Just save some room for seconds--you'll need it.
Heard about this new chicken place called Big Chicken owned by Shaq opened and then drove by a few time when i was in the area not being able to stop, but this time i had the time and I wanted me some fried chicken. Well, i got a big surprise. They only have chicken sandwich, tenders and wings. The funny part is that they have a full bar and a terrible tequila selection. lol I know why it's called Big cause of the price, OMG, the price is a lot to much for me. I got the tenders and fries to go. The fries were good and salty and a decent amount. The tenders were breaded perfect, tender and juicy and normal size for most tenders. I like the taste also, it was floury and dry or over spiced. The young lady i dealt with was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, i most likely won't be back, cause i just can't deal with the price.
Never been here before, I'm a big Shaq fan so wanted to try this place out. Wasn't disappointed. Got there about 11:40 am this morning, there were maybe 8 of us there. They have a drive-up but wanted to go inside. Nice snazzy bar area which really surprised me. $5 frozen margaritas always !! Got the #5 Shaq Attack fried chicken sandwich and a strawberry marg. Very impressed with everything !!
Great Taste, Fries where cooked crispy, sandwich was a but small, will be back to try the wings
Big Chicken? I don't know about that. They have the smallest chicken sandwich. The name does not carries the actual food quality. It's just a regular fast food sandwich, overpriced. The employees were excellent the service was really good, cannot see the same about the food. Shame on Shaq for naming this restaurant a big chicken with small sandwiches.
Drove past this place looking for a spot to eat. We didn't realize this was a franchise by Shaq until we got there. My sons was pretty excited since he a huge Basketball & Shaq fan. Cool little place, music is loud & the employees were friendly. It has a bar area but it seems it would be too crowded because seats are all close but not bad for a Monday lunch. The food was good though my son said it could have used some more flavor but my salad was pretty delish. We will for sure stop by again to try out the different menu items.

This sandwiches were amazing !!! And the staff were super nice and location was clean. Drive thru is super slow and a bit of inconsistency with the hours of operation. The shake machine was broken or something like that so that was a huge bummer. We went the same week twice because this was delicious! read more
We came because this place is owned by Shaq but the food turned out to be pretty good. The sandwiches were nicely prepared. Even the fries had some good seasoning in it. Overall the food was tasty. When I was there the restaurant was packed. The small space is not equipped to handle a lot of people. The line was extended all the way into the dining area next to other people. read more

Too expensive for the amount of food that you get. Total let down. The burgers are tiny. The shakes look nothing like they are advertised. Surely won't be going back. Asked for wings.. bought 10 of them.. 5 buffalo, 5 bbq.. got the wings.. all BBQ. Total disappointment. Save your money, go somewhere else. read more

First time visiting Big Chicken... the place has identity problem. It does not know if it is a restaurant or fast food place. Place has walk up counter and drive through like a fast food place but then it has full bar on the side. The service was friendly and nice. The chicken sandwich was not Big Chicken. It was nice and juicy and tasted good. The french fries were average. My first impression of the place is average. read more

Big chicken has won my big heart. The staff here are super friendly as a new customer Jonathan and Victoria they help me make great choices. The food was so fresh cooked to order and the Sunday push the whole deal over the top. What a wonderful place with a wonderful staff and phenomenal food if you're looking to get into having a cocktail and some wings during football season or watching a game, this is a hangout or picking up an order to take home. I am now a lifelong customer shack you done made me want more thank you to Jonathan and Victoria and Mark the manager. What a great place.yum read more

Went to Big Chicken for the first time on 4/25. The individuals at the front were nice, however, I that was the only good thing about this experience. I got a soda with my meal, and only after attempting to use the soda machine was told it was broken. I then waited nearly 30 minutes for my food. Once I got home, we started eating and half way through noticed it was chewy and pink in the center. When I called they stated they were aware of the issue and that the chicken went bad and won't be selling any more chicken. I was only offered to come back to get a new meal, and not a refund. I did contact corporate as this is a health hazard and nothing was done outside of a $5 gift card. Hoping this review can help someone avoid possibly getting sick, and the issues here get resolved. read more

Maybe a bad day for them. Tastes like Burger King to me, not the meal I had hoped for. Got a No. 1 meal. $16 with at 10% tip. For a fast food counter lunch. Sandwich was mediocre, seems like a frozen patty. Fries were well salted, but kind of a small portion. And soft drinks were "out" at the fountain. Getting two stars at least because the young lady behind the register was very friendly. If as much effort was put into the food as it has been by the smiling employees, you might have a winner. read more
