    NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal has dipped his toes into the hot chicken wars with this franchise that he founded with corporate assistance in 2018. Big Chicken was also the name of a short-lived reality TV series that featured the former basketball star. This location used to be the home of another celebrity's hot chicken enterprise, but it only lasted a little over a year before permanently closing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside had plenty of orange including an autographed framed jersey from Shaq in that color hanging on a wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Three menu screens hung above the service counter. The left one featured five different sandwich combos. Two of them (Shaq Attack, Uncle Jerome's Nashville Spicy) were designated with a flame symbol indicating they were spicy. The middle screen listed the Tenders, Dunks, Wings, Sidekicks, Salads, and Sauces. Dunks were explained to me as small pieces of white chicken that were coated with a spicy breading and could be dipped in one of the six sauces. The right screen displayed the sweets... Shakes, Sundaes, Snacks, and Soft Drinks. I visited late in the evening when the workers were already mopping the dining room. Since I had eaten elsewhere, my goal was a small sample of one of the chicken products. My choice was the three-piece Tenders which came with two sauces. I selected the Carolina BBQ and Memphis BBQ. The first had a strong mustard flavor while the second had a sweet tomato base. As for the tenders, the crust was very crispy, almost overcooked. The shape of the pieces was odd and not uniform at all. That made it hard to dip into the sauce cups. For the price and quality of my food, I gave my visit to Big Chicken a 3.5 star rating.

    Shaq Shaq Shaq, I wanna give this place 5 stars but I'm gonna have to start with 3. This place just opened. Replacing the over priced chicken guy with BIG chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance in this restaurant is very nice. Everything is new and everything is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is friendly. I got the uncle Jerome Nashville hot sandwhich combo. Which ofcorse comes with fries and a drink. They use crinkle fries these fries are good and has everything you need or expect from a French fry. Now the sandwhich. I really wanted to enjoy this sandwhich. And as I was eating it I realized it was overcooked. The seasoning on this sandwhich is very flavorful. It has a ton of potential and I love chicken so it was very disappointing to get my sandwhich like this. However, everything else seems to be fine. This restaurant is new. People are enjoying this place, so don't let me discourage you it's def worth it to try.

    Excellent! A very solid chicken sandwich. The Shaq Attack had the right amount of heat and flavor with the jalapeno slaw and bbq sauce. Fries are nice amd crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A major improvement over the place that previously occupied the spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was super fast even with a decent line.

    I went at a time where me and a couple of other guys were the only ones in the restaurant, but I thought the food was fresh (chicken tenders, spicy slaw) and the options were great (5 sauces and sweet potato fries were on the menu). The ladies upfront were friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I kinda feel bad because the restaurant isn't necessarily in a location that will bring a ton of traffic but if you go I think you'll enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The Original

    Worst first time experience at a new restaurant 0/10 I got the number one meal with an extra side and the fries were old when I check my bag the first time I didn't think my sandwich would be bad as well I called up to the store about it manager said he couldn't do anything about it would never come back to this place ever again ‍ and I don't even write reviews

    Ultimate (Combo)

    pretty good chicken spot! we tried the ultimate sandwich and it was really good, pretty light considering having mac n chz on it, not heavy at all. good fries but the cheese sauce that you can get with the fries taste like queso not like a warm bar cheese/ american dip cheese if that makes sense. definitely wanna go back to try the slaw, felt like i needed something fresh/green with this meal lol.

    Fresh crinkle cut fries with agave cream soda.

    My sandwich was fresh tasting. I am lactose intolerant, so I bought it without mayo. Excellent flavor, with just the right level of spice. The pickles and lettuce added juiciness. The chicken itself was crispy without being greasy. Overall the sandwich had a homemade taste. They've figured out how to make a great chicken sandwich. The fries were cooked perfectly, at the right temperature, and salted such that I didn't need to ask for ketchup. The restaurant offers two "gourmet" sodas so I opted for the cream soda with agave. Great choice, and free refills are available. The price was right at about $15. I'd recommend this restaurant for dinner over the nearby Chick-Fil-A. Great service, too, but I did show up on opening day.

    10 piece wings partially eaten. Half Thai chili and the other half buffalo.

    Great experience! Pros: food was fresh, cooked to order and served hot. Wings are delicious and mac and cheese is good compared to other fast food places. Tenders are a great size and friends perfectly. The service was great, the manager is up front making sure orders are timely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons: Wish the wings had even more sauce but it's nice when you can get extra sauce on the side. I would like their fries with cheese but I didn't love the dirty fries. Overall we were satisfied and will be back to try more items on the menu. It was a little pricey it cost us about $20 per person.

    Chicken 3 Tenders (Combo)

    Photos online and on the menu look a lot different from what is served... the chicken tasted like a disappointing version of Chicken Shack. I'd rather go to Chicken Shack any day.

    My wife and I decided to try this place. When we arrived the staff seemed friendly and eager to help. I ordered the chicken tenders combo and my wife orders the original combo and sat down. The food came out promptly. It appears that when we places the order they cooked our food as both came out hot and fresh. Her fries were hot but mine seemed a bit less. My tenders were hot and moose inside with the breading tasty. Her sandwich the chicken was moist breading was crunchy and tasty and it seemed to have come straight from the oven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is still new so everything was nice clean and well maintained.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We watched the staff clean around the waste cans and they cleaned even the fronts not just the top. They wiped the tables and straightened the chairs. Overall a good job of upkeep.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was hot, prompt, tasty, and gets high marks. Now for the $64,000 dollar question would I go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While it is not a fancy high end restaurant it is a nice place to take the family for a chicken dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even the dipping sauces were good. Prices seemed a bit high but I'm an old guy and everything seems high prices. My recommendation, try it you won't be disappointed.

    Excellent Burger joint! I was drawn to this business based on all the excellent YELP reviews which…read morewere well deserved in my opinion and my new YELP quest to find the best Burger in Metro Detroit. For my first visit here I got their basic cheeseburger where I added Bacon and a second patty upgrading from a 1/4 pounder to a 1/2 Lb burger. My Burger was cooked to perfection and probably the juiciest burger I have had in this area (get extra napkins(: ). It was very tasty and clearly in the upper echelon of the burgers I have tried. At $10.50 which included the two upgrades of bacon and 2nd patty was a deal in my opinion especially when you consider the quality of the burger. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was very friendly and checked in on me twice during my meal to include the owner which is amazing when you consider this is a counter order operation. Facility itself is clean and large with a lot of tables, both indoor and outdoor dining. This restaurant has an open kitchen/grill that is visible to the dining area offering great sight lines into their operation which I actually enjoyed. Overall a top shelf unpretentious burger centric joint. If you are into well made tasty burgers and are in the area than this is a must visit that should not be missed!

    I recently tried a cheeseburger from a local restaurant, and it was really good overall. The bun…read morewas soft and lightly toasted, which made it easy to bite into without falling apart. The burger looked fresh and was served hot, which made it even more appetizing. The beef patty was juicy and cooked just right. It had a nice grilled flavor that wasn't too greasy or dry. The cheese was melted perfectly over the top, adding a creamy texture that blended well with the meat. The lettuce, tomato, and pickles were fresh and added a nice crunch. One thing I liked most was the balance of flavors. Nothing overpowered the burger, and every bite tasted consistent. The sauce added just the right amount of tanginess without making the bun soggy. Overall, I would definitely order this burger again. It was filling, flavorful, and worth the price. If you enjoy a classic cheeseburger with fresh toppings and a juicy patty, this one is a great choice.
