    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

    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...

    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.

    Big Popcorn Chicken

    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...

    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

After deciding on fried chicken, instead of traditional wings, it took way too long to place an order despite 5 employees (not sure if they were actually employees, it just seemed like 5 people running a co op and hanging out or something) being near us. As we were waiting for our food, we glanced around and saw many odd things like a filing cabinet used to store chopsticks and other items. We wanted to sit at the bar but half of it was taken by employees, boxes of shoes, really random items. After about 15 minutes the chicken came out. No sign of the ranch that we requested, but at least we had food. After looking at the chicken, it became apparent that they had brought us wings. I asked the employee if they had made a mistake, but he let me know that their fried chicken is all wings, despite the word "wings" never appearing on the menu in the fried chicken section. The saving grace here is that the chicken WINGS were quite tasty. The breading was crispy and the sauces were good. I could see how this would get soggy for takeout, so I recommend dining in for fried chicken WINGS. Overall, super weird place but the chicken WINGS are good.
