I never heard of the place, but decided to try it since it's Shaq's business. I placed a mobile order, which was hot and ready when I arrived. The franchise owner, Robby, was behind the counter. He's very personable, friendly, and helpful. I messed up on my order, and he made sure to rectify my mistake. The young man working behind the counter was just as friendly, personable, and helpful. The place is clean, which was nice. The sandwich, fries, and sauce were delicious. I will be back! You won't be disappointed. read more

Sorry Shaq but this failed me something serous!!! The MD sandwich which looked like a fish filet was salty as heck and probably raised my blood pressure to stroke status. Sheesh, why so much salt dude??? Did not like this at all!!! The staff here made me uncomfortable as they kinda stood around in a group as if they were having a meeting or gossiping about someone...I was confused for a sec. The only people who appeared to be working hard was the Lady cashier and the Male bartender who spoke as I stood waiting for my meal. They were very nice employees. The messy fries... not a fan at all!!! What on Earth is that??? Definitely not dedicated to Earth Day/ Month! (cracking myself up) I tossed all of the good after just 2 bites...ewww What a waste!!! I like the atmosphere, the seating and the bar seating which is outside/inside. Parking: There's parking in the ramp but, you might get lucky and find parking in the lot behind this establishment, such as I did. I'm not willing to give this place a second try!!! I like the concession/condiments area where you're allowed to get your own sauces to avoid having to be charged extra by a sauce inspector, Iike some restaurants do. I personally got really sick and not good poisoning sick but a sickness like I was literally poisoned. It was horrible!!! It's a HXX NO FOR ME!!! read more

Love love love this location!!!! ABSOLUTE MUST-TRY - BIG CHICKEN GILBERT, AZ Big Chicken in Gilbert, AZ is CRIMINALLY underrated and deserves to be VIRAL. From the moment we walked in, the service, leadership, food, and value were all 10/10. First off, shoutout to Robbie, the restaurant manager - his leadership clearly shows through the entire team. The atmosphere was welcoming, organized, and upbeat, which says a lot about how well he runs this location. Huge praise to the amazing staff he manages, especially Gustavo and Alondra. Gustavo deserves special recognition for his patience and kindness while helping our family of four - including three very indecisive kids. He never rushed us, stayed friendly the entire time, and made the ordering experience smooth and stress-free. He also makes the best SHAKES Alondra was equally impressive with her professionalism and attention to detail, double-checking every order to make sure we received all of our items correctly - which we absolutely did Thanks to her, she also very kind with big girl get after it energy!!!! ‍‼ Now let's talk VALUE!!!! We were able to feed a family of four for UNDER $55, and three out of the four meals were adult combos. That is EXTREMELY affordable, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get.

Well The chicken tenders were crispy, flaky, buttery, and perfectly cooked - NOT dry at all‼ Honestly, some of the best chicken in Arizona. Every bite was amazing. My entire family finished their meals in under 20 minutes because it was that good and we were all fully satisfied.‍ We SMASHEDDDDDD And We loved every second of it.

For a place called BIG Chicken the food was anything but. Only went once and was late so maybe we got the short end of the stick but for a place called BIG chicken I'm hoping we're getting BIG. The sandwich was honestly slightly smaller or about equal to the size of other fast food places premium burger/sandwich (McDonald's/Jackinthebox etc) the food was still pretty good but not sure if it's worth the price. (I think I got the Original Sandwich) Service was about what you'd expect for a closing shift about an hour til close so I personally am not too upset about the lack of service but I mean me and my friend WERE the only ones there and the person who took our order still ended up giving us the wrong stuff so we had to do some swapping on our trays. Again a nitpick but I guess that's what this platform is kinda for and up to YOU to decide. Nice place and in a good location. Was dead when we showed up due to it being super late but the surroundings were still pretty active and I could totally see this place being lively/packed due to the influx of people roaming about. Overall I was disappointed with the size of the food (mainly due to the name being misleading) Service was meh but again was late at night almost closing. The vibe was nice and the area around it of course is always nice to roam about and admire the scenery. read more

Big Chicken - Chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and a cookies and cream shake!! Yummmy! - Burgers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

My wife and I have been coming here for a while now! When we first started, the food was always delicious and the staff was nice. Since the new owner has taken over, we've notice a significant difference in traffic and the customer service. Everyone is always so friendly! The food is always fresh, delicious, and fast, even in a rush! It's always a good vibe, never too loud inside or rowdy, and its always clean and tidy. Definitely add this place to your list to try! I do miss the sweet potato fries they had, but everything else is 10/10 so I will always return! read more

Owner and workers are amazing, chicken is even better. This place is awesome. Owner sold me as soon as i walked in

Hubby & I had lunch here today. The food & sauces were delicious! Hubby got the Shack and loved it. I got the classic and added American cheese. I'm not a fan of pickles on my sandwich, I'm glad I didn't have them leave them off. They were really good; not the regular dill pickles. The American cheese is white. I really liked my sandwich too. The chicken breading had a good flavor & the chicken was moist. We tried all the sauces. They were all good, but the Carolina BBQ & the sweet & smoky were my favorite. They both were so good. We also got the Mac n cheese and fries. The Mac n cheese was excellent! It's super cheesy. I was skeptical about the Cheese Its on top, but it gave the Mac n cheese a crisp, and was really good. I liked that you get a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. It is so much better than the employees yelling your name or number. We will definitely be coming back again & again. Yes, it's a little pricey, but not much more than other places, and you get what you pay for! read more

I really liked the vibe of this place. It feels very modern and open for a fast food style restaurant. The service was okay. At first, we walked inside and started looking at the menu. Someone came up to the cash register, but I couldn't tell if they were ready to take our order because they didn't look our way or say anything. Someone was present, so I am being nit-picky in that regard towards service I will admit. We also ordered a margarita. Not bad, and pretty decently strong in a good way. Now, onto the food. Honestly, I hate to say it because I like Shaq and we drove down from Phoenix, but the food did not have much flavor. Uncle Jerome is supposed to be spicy, and as a spice lover, I would call this borderline mild. There was no heat. The chicken was crispy, and the sizes were not impressive. I didn't find the meal to be particularly filling. I actually did enjoy the fries, but they too could also benefit from some additional seasoning. The sauces were not particularly unique, in my opinion. My overall review is this is not a restaurant I'd come out of my way for and unfortunately the fried chicken sandwich game is so strong that I can't say this would be at the top of my list to return back to. I'd say, if you're already in the area and are curious, give it a try. I think my biggest problem was that I came with extremely high expectations. No diss to Shaq. read more

We have been excited to try this place. We tried it in Las Vegas and were super excited they opened one up in Gilbert. We arrived around noon on a Sunday afternoon. Place wasn't busy. We ordered our food and went to go grab our condiments. Condiments were empty and a mess. It made me not want to even grab anything from there. So I asked the staff for sauces from the back. And yet she still didn't go clean and refill the condiments. I was expecting more from this place. The vibe was eh. The staff was in the back vs out in the front making sure the front end was good. My chicken burger was good. Fries a little salty. Overall it was OK. read more

I loved the drinks and all the options they offer. The macaroni and cheese was absolutely fabulous! I don't eat pasta often. But, I couldn't resist'. Soooooo cheesy!

Chris was professional and explain all the sauces The chicken was hot and GOOD!! Bathrooms clean , restaurant clean !! A great environment!! We will definitely e returning because of Chris ! 10/10!!!! read more

First off, the place was very cool and open to the outside. There was an L shaped bar that separated indoor & outdoor. Lots of places have that, just a minor note that this place does too. It's not missing anything really. The staff were really on top of it and super nice. The food beats any pub style, dinner, food stand, fast food, ect for chicken sandwiches. I tried the Shaq Attack (get this!), and the Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot (good as well). Don't assume this is just an average fast food spot, the details put into the Shaq Attack were artisan. read more

Highly suggest the ultimate. phenomenal chicken sandwiches it was great. Manager was awesome. Go here

This place was a solid OK. I don't think it was spectacular. The popcorn chicken made from chicken thighs was good and the regular portion was filling for me. The sauces were also OK, but none of them really made an impression. Ordering at the counter was easy and everything was fresh and served hot. Perhaps my expectations were too high, given the name-recognition hype. I don't need to go back, but I wouldn't complain if I were in the area and the waits at other places were crazy-long and I was in a hurry. If I did, I'd try a sandwich to get a different perspective on their offerings. read more

Ordered through their website and for delivery. $60 for 20 boneless wings, a sandwich, and 2 fries. 1.5 hours later call restaurant to find out their manager and staff aren't aware they deliver. I asked to speak to manager and he says he is the manager. Drive 15 mins to store to pick up me food and when I get there no customers and same manager from phone as kiosk/POS and doesn't acknowledge me because he is on his phone. I then say excuse me and say I'm here for my food and he says it was picked up to be delivered at my house. I ask to speak to GM and he comes back 10 mins later to say GM will call me on the morning. No sorry. No consolidations. My family is home sick and I got played. When I get home no good so scammed as well. I've had Big Chicken in Vegas and it was great so it's specifically this location. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

The manager and staff were SOOO nice and friendly. We were welcomed into the store with a smile. He took the time to explain the new menu and was very helpful. We will definitely be returning soon! Best experience! Thank you for the amazing customer service! read more

We were greeted by a friendly, smiling face who we later learned was the owner (Hi Robby!). He took the time to explain the menu to us as we have never been to a Big Chicken before. We ordered and we have to say the chicken was better than those "other guys" for sure. Food came out hot and yummy within ten minutes. We were even given glass pint glasses when asked for water instead of just little paper cups. Awesome place to eat. We will be back! read more

This place was chill. The chicken was good and the fries were good, and it was filling. It was my first time trying this place, and when I asked the staff at the counter what they would recommend, they didn't offer much help. I got a chicken sandwich with waffle fries, and the food didn't take long to come out. The vibe of the place is pretty neat, and there is ample seating. Overall, it's a good spot! read more

Big Chicken - Burgers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Better than CFA Granted I've only tried the Ultimate chicken Burger since I'm visiting the area and someone suggested it. arguably it was THE best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had Meaning: it wasn't greasy. It wasn't fatty. It was perfectly moist with every bite. Wasn't overly coated with heavy breading. SO hot I had to wait quite a few minutes before biting-able only to peal away bits and pieces around the edge Well seasoned but not too salty I've had super seasoned and tasty chicken...but it's usually also greasy or fatty. CFA is good, but not as moist as this was Often the seasoning is heavy in the breading, which means the breading is thick and overshadows the meat The Mac n cheese and onion straws was an interesting addition. Kinda hoped it was spicey, but the garlic aioli was tasty Lettuce and tomato would've been nice, but not sure if it would all fit! Smaller sandwich than I expected it to be...but decidedly filling enough. I walked away content, and not overly bloated and full All the sides are fried, so though tempting I opted out. The strawberry lemonade was good..slightly syrupy, but maybe because I got the bottom of the container before they refilled it Seriously considering ordering the strips for a party next week: the manager says they're fairly large and filling and great for "game day" This place got it right Ambience is family friendly. They have a bar that seats half outdoors. At 1p on a Saturday afternoon, no one was at the bar Lots of TVs airing the football games, so ?semi sportsbar vibe read more

I would not go here again. I rarely write any reviews, I've been here twice. First time dine in 2nd carry out. Order was not ready or started before. Showed up. Never noticed the 20% tip added to the order. Aren't you supposed to tip after service? Are you supposed to tip on carry out? Food was cold by the time I got home and I was 5 minutes away in a very hot truck. They offered me a free milkshake with my next order, but that won't ever happen. read more

big chicken is the best chicken Sandwich in town - hands down. The food is consistently that way too which is what throws it over the top. Every time you go. no matter what time or what day, the food is great. Hot and and fresh. They keep the menu rotating so you don't get bored. And the price is unbeatable. It's literally like one dollar more than chick-fil-a but one hundred Times better. Plus shaq is awesome. I really don't understand why this place is not swamped with customers. read more

I accidentally ordered the wrong sandwich. When I shared that with the owner he immediately made it right. This is the kind of service you can expect from big chicken. Thank you for you kindness. read more

The place is clean. They are nice. Can't say much about the food. The food for us was just average. Price was reasonable I guess. I just wasn't impressed. We actually came to go to Lolo's chicken and it was closed so I decided to try here. I can't say we'll be back. read more

Went last weekend and it was fantastic! New owner that came around to make sure we were happy and the food was really good. I am a huge fan of Cane's chicken but this was so much better! The sauce (similar to Cane's) but more flavorful, same with the tenders which were huge, juicy and fresh and had more flavor than normal tenders. I also liked that while it was fast/quick food, we were also able to have a beer and the atmosphere felt more like a restaurant. Employees were super friendly and I will definitely go back. read more

Robbie was great and helpful the food was amazing. the place has a cool Shaq basketball vibe. definitely come check this place out.

Yes I do recommend Big Chicken 1000 times our bar keep Alandra was amazing & we had a great time and food was amazing. We will be back

We stopped in at Big Chicken after we ate at a different restaurant in the area. My hubby was starving after the slight meal on the same street. We walked in to a very clean restaurant. The staff was very friendly and so helpful. It is set up like a fast food restaurant, with a full bar. The bartender was terrific. She was fun and quirky and poured a man drink. Back to the food... yummy. Hubby ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich combo... it was a sizeable sandwich, and flavorful. I ordered the Dunks (Popcorn Chicken) and fries. The amount of chicken was enormous. The chicken was crispy and yummy. They had dipping sauces that were made fresh... not bottled. The fries were crinkle cut, crunchy and delicious. This is not a typical chicken fast food place. They have forever changed my idea of a fast food chicken restaurant. Portion size is epic, and what a great price for the amount of food. The location is great, downtown Gilbert. An excellent location. And prepare to walk the sites of downtown Gilbert after the great food at Big Chicken. I failed to mention this restaurant is a Shaquille O'Neal restaurant. I didn't mention it on purpose, it's more than the celebrity name. The food was Big in taste and in size. read more

Walked in for carry out and the place looks like a great place to dine in. They have a full bar with indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a covered patio. We tried the Uncle Jerome which is a Nashville out chicken with pickles the sandwich overall was delicious. The pickles alone were amazing tasted fresh. The sandwich is large hence big chicken. I also tried the Big & Sloppy with fries onions and Mac n cheese. This sandwich is legit. Best Mac in cheese for a fast casual place. Doesn't taste powdered or nasty fake stuff just real Mac n cheese. Also had the sweet potato waffle fries. They are good and I would get them again but they were a bit thinner then expected. I would go back and try the shakes and other items. Overall 4 stars read more

Okay Shaq! Go on with yo' bad self!! This place is very cool! It has a fast food vibe but a bar kind of dining feel. Meaning, you order your food at the front and you have a dining area to sit at or you can sit at the bar top. The food is fresh to order and full of flavor! Pepsi products. Alcohol (we aren't drinkers but we saw it at the bar area - go figure ) . A variety of options for food (lots of fried chicken). The sweet potato waffle fries are to die for!!!! The prices are very reasonable. Seating area is very spacious with outdoor dining an option. Located in downtown Gilbert- great scenery! Right next door to Petersen Ice Cream (amazing place to go for dessert afterward!!) read more

First time visit and it was alright. I ordered the Uncle Jerome, side of sweet potato waffle fries and a fountain drink for a total of $18. Tad bit overpriced. The side should be included with the sandwich. The sandwich was good, wasn't spicy, and overall good flavor. The fires unfortunately weren't a hit which most likely was because they were cold. If you check out the place, I think you could do without the fries. Service was good - pretty straightforward. Placed my order and didn't interact with staff after that. read more
