Getting a head start on #nationalfriedchickenday @bigchickenshaq The Shaq Attack is legendary for a reason- come see why at the Gilbert location It was all so satisfying! The Shaq Attack just hits! We also tried Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot and of course we had to try The OG (original). Mac & Cheese is creamy and delicious The Big Chicken Sauce is bold and holds great flavor. Perfect for dipping fries or drenching that crispy, juicy chicken sandwich to your liking. I feel in love with the pineapple cream soda, very refreshing, makes for the perfect fizzy drink. We also tried the watermelon lemonade mixed with sweet tea. Move over Arnold Palmer, this tea was perfect. Just the right amount of sweet on a hot summers day. Be sure to stop by and check out @bigchickengilbert Where every bite brings BIG Flavor and even BIGGER smiles. Excellent customer service in a casual environment. Indoor/ Outdoor seating. 366 N Gilbert Rd Located in Downtown Gilbert

We came here for a quick lunch on a Sunday. Was not busy at all, but the wait was quite long considering. We sat on the patio which was nice as it is dog friendly and were able to bring our dog. The fries are really good. Would come back just for those. I had the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was juicy but the sandwich overall was bland. The boneless wings could have used more sauce but we're good overall. This is a great casual spot to go for lunch if you don't mind waiting a little bit.

Well i returned here. The only thing I didn't like was the free sauce bar was gone and it was 50 cents per sauce now. Still, ths new shaq snacks was very good with the Smoke Show having a tender and Cole slaw and sauce and the curds were very good too.

I am pleasantly surprised by Big Chicken! Was craving lunch and this place was under a mile from my rental. YUM! I got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries. I would say the chicken sandwich was a 7/10, it was super crispy but needed a bit more sauce. The fries were excellently crisp, like an upscale Culver's fry. While I still have had better Chicken Sandwiches, I am happy with the meal I had here.

Really nice bar seating area

So we came to Downtown Gilbert for date night. We decided to check out Big Chicken. This place did nit disappoint. We loved the atmosphere, this was a fun place to have dinner and a drink! I had the Uncle Combo and Janna had the Ultimate Combo. They were so good, the chicken was soooo juicy. I would absolutely do it again. My chicken was super spicy, oh my goodness, it was so good. The staff was awesome and they all seemed to enjoy working there which is always a good sign. We will absolutely be back!

After recently moving to Gilbert, AZ, my husband and I have found ourselves choosing Big Chicken as one of our go to restaurants when we are wanting something quick and tasty! I had tried the limited-time Sir Charles chicken sandwich and was very happy with my order! Next time I am trying the Original and also getting a double chocolate shake We recently met the new owner and he was so welcoming and nice! Seeing his excitement about what is to come with their establishment made us forever customers of Shaq's brand! (Fyi.. New sandwiches on the way!!) I noticed they have a bar and could only imagine how fun it would be to start a fun night on the town here with dinner & drinks! I believe you can even order a boozy shake too!

Fries were really good. Wings could definitely use a bit more sauce, they were a little dry. Grilled cheese chicken sandwich is amazing. They definitely don't go light on the cheese, love it! Ultimate chicken sandwich was also good and they have a great patio to enjoy it all that is dog friendly. We will definitely be back.

First impressions is that it's very clean.. and up to date, the guy that took our order was patient and directed us well it's very open and has a nice patio. The food was actually very good, gramps approve as well! The chicken wasn't dry the sauce was like a peppery canes sauce the music was good in there overall enjoyed

Nashville Hot
Rae S.

New favorite spot in Gilbert! I stopped by Big Chicken on a whim and WOW--what a find! I had the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and it absolutely blew me away. Perfectly crispy, juicy chicken with just the right amount of heat, all tucked into a soft, flavorful bun. You can tell they care about quality and flavor here. The staff was super friendly, the service was quick, and the whole vibe of the place was fun and welcoming. Honestly might be the best chicken sandwich I've had in Arizona...

Big Popcorn Chicken
Rachel K.

Shaq bested me... My boyfriend and I are crazies so we always order the spiciest options at chicken joints. We managed to eat ghost pepper sauces at other restaurants before, but Shaq had us leaving Big Chicken with tears streaming down our faces. Damn, that chicken was JUICY though! And although I was suffering, the seasonings shone through. We both couldn't finish our sandwiches so we got an order of popcorn chicken to finish up and be full. Also very juicy. The assortment of sauces are also delicious! We also got some delectable milkshakes. Very satisfied with this place even though I like to make myself suffer. I am definitely coming back to try a chicken sandwich that WON'T ruin me, and try those amazing looking BOOZY MILKSHAKES... Oooooo...

The Original Big Chicken
Ashley S.

We finally made it in here after the kids having asked to go since they saw it open. It is in a great location in downtown Gilbert with ample parking close by. We went about an hour before closing time and the place was quite empty and very few employees. They were friendly, but very slow. We ordered several meals and two beers. They had decent draft options. The beer took a very long time due to the lack of staff, but we eventually got it. The food came out piping hot and was pretty good. A lot of their sauces were running low or out, but I imagine they are better stocked normally. It did take a while before we were able to eat the food since it was so hot, which my husband and I didn't mind as we drank our beers, but it was tough getting the kids to wait haha. The ambiance is decent and there is a lot of seating. I am not dying to go back, but I would be willing. Pros: *Decent draft options with great prices *Pretty good food *No wait *Friendly staff Cons: *A bit slow *Sauces not stocked

This was one of our let's check out a new chicken sandwich place episodes! Decided to give Shaq's restaurant a try. Not very busy inside. We did get the chicken sandwich specials which I thought were a nice value! The chicken sandwiches were actually very good and I would recommend stopping here to try them out. Well prepared, tender, moist and delicious! The fries were outstanding too. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely go back here again.

I was at a community event that was close to this location, which was great because I have been wanting to try the spot just because of Shaq and he thinks he knows chicken so well. Went in the place was pretty empty. It was an odd day and an odd time it was a Wednesday evening. Nevertheless, I ordered buffalo chicken and barbecue chicken bites. I ordered some chicken tender strips, french fries and mac & cheese just to get a variety of things and check out the sauces. The buffalo boneless chicken bites were the best with a close second on the chicken strips now I didn't taste all of the sauces, but my daughter says that the BC sauce was extremely good. The mac & cheese was one of their signature dishes. It was good, but it was much too cheesy for me personally. Overall, I think that the chicken was very good and I would return if I wanted a nice buffalo boneless and I'm in that area. Like I said it wasn't anyone in the place, but me and my daughter, but the set up was very nice. They had a bar TVs all over to watch the games and the seating was pretty comfortable. The service was nice the young lady at the front helped us pick out some items because it was our first time. Location 5/5 Chicken 5/5 Sauce 4/5 Parking 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Return Factor 4/5

Kids Tenders, Nashville Sandwich, Buffalo Sandwich, and BC Fries.

I think this is the place owned by Shaq. He should stick to basketball because the sandwiches are definitely not good.

WORTH THE TRIP EVERY TIME! We absolutely LOVE Gus's World…read moreFamous Fried Chicken! We are from El Paso, Texas, and we visit Phoenix twice a year just to eat at Gus's. That should tell you how much we love this place! The customer service is excellent! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and warm toward their customers. The chicken is cooked fresh to order, crispy on the outside, steaming hot, juicy, and absolutely delicious. We are NEVER disappointed! The fried okra is one of my favorite sides, but honestly, all their sides taste homemade and are delicious. Everything is so good! We've enjoyed Gus's in Memphis, Austin, Houston, and, of course, Phoenix. When we visit Houston, we also catch an Astros game while we're there! No matter which city we visit, Gus's is always on our MUST-EAT list! The delicious food, wonderful customer service, and consistent quality keep us coming back. Thank you to the entire team for making every visit such a great experience. We look forward to our next trip to Phoenix and another delicious meal at Gus's! If you haven't tried Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, you're missing out! Highly recommend!

This place is an absolute hidden gem! If you're looking for authentic, flavor-packed Middle Eastern…read morefood, Chickenhug completely delivers. I ordered the half chicken plate with half biryani-style rice and half fries, and it was incredible. The chicken was marinated to perfection and seasoned with genuine, aromatic Jordanian spices--juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. What really took it to the next level were the homemade sauces: * Authentic Garlic Sauce: Bold, creamy, and garlic-packed. * Yogurt Mint Sauce: Refreshing, cool, and balanced the spices beautifully. I also tried their viral crispy chicken shawarma wrap, made with all-chicken breast. It had the perfect crunch from the pickles and a few fries rolled right inside. Drizzling it with their garlic sauce and sweet pomegranate molasses added a sweet-and-savory pairing that blew me away. Beyond the food, the customer service was warm, welcoming, and top-tier in a small dine in place which wasn't overly crowded or fancy. They had a great-looking variety of Tres Leches cakes in the display case as well--though not made in-house, they looked delicious. I was far too stuffed to try one this time, but I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu and bring my family along! Do not sleep on this spot. 10/10!

Interesting Turkish drinks and desserts, including Ayran, a drink similar to slightly salty and less tangy Kefir. Wife and kids had shared a Whole Chicken Meal, enough food for them with leftovers. Very friendly service, and quick ordering and pay at the counter. The high Yelp and Google ratings are well deserved.

Recommend: Yes! First and only location in AZ!…read more Food: really good fast food. Made fresh and light breading. Tender, juicy chicken! Their zaxby'a sauce is really good too! Price: Great price for the value you get. Service: they make sure you are take care and you are getting quality food and service. Ambiance: typical fast food style and area is clean. Details: This might be my favorite chicken tender spot now. I happened to be by the area and got to try out this place. This place has wings and tenders. I haven't got the chance to try their wings but their tenders are so juicy and so good. They come out fresh and their zaxby's sauce is like an onion-garlic sauce. Really good. The tenders are also very meaty (real good quality chicken). We got the family pack and it was more than enough food for a family of 4. I definitely recommend this place and its great value.

If you are thinking about coming here, please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I thought…read moreZaxbys was supposed to be good, I decided to give it a try. There was no line. But the food once it arrived in my car smelt HORRENDOUS. I like never gag at anything, I was gagging and had to roll the window down. I smelt everything and couldn't figure out which food item it was, I'm guessing the fries as that's what smelt not the best. When I say it smelt like an actual DUMP, like I didn't even eat my food because something was certainly wrong and old. Or maybe they don't clean their kitchen appliances good??? I have no idea, but unfortunately I will not be eating there again and threw it out.
