Pricey, but you get what you pay for. The meat is juicy, fries are perfectly crisped and seasoned, the drinks are great and the staff are always coming around to ask if you need sauces or drink refills. The chicken is all-natural, cage free, and honestly even a step up from Popeyes or chickfila. Plus, the huge four combined TV matrix is great for watching games. Came here a few times with my dad and brother and it was a perfect boy's night out.

Shaq's Big Chicken just opened last week. It was crowded but not enough to avoid the wait. The atmosphere is great. Huge TV's and friendly staff everywhere. We had the Shaq Attack, the Original Big Chicken, the 5 tender combo, Dirty Fries and crinkle fries. The Shaq Attack was the star, with jalapeño slaw and excellent barbecue sauce. The sandwich had a great flavor, and will be the favorite of many. The Original was also very good. It's pretty simple, just sauce and pickles on a brioche bun. The tenders were just that, very tender with a little spice and lots of flavor. The dirty fries have cheese sauce, bacon and banana peppers. It's a great combo with loads of flavor. We will definitely be back for more!

First impression upon walking in was a combination sports bar and fast food restaurant. Yes, they do have a full bar, which is not something you see everyday in fast food. Place was clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Relaxed atmosphere includes the giant screen, which had the Olympics on. Kind of a cool focal point. Food is not bad. Ordered the Shaq Attack sandwich. Was it as good as a Chic-Fil-A sandwich? No, it was not. Not as thick as a CFLA chicken breast, and not seasoned as well. Fries were good. BBQ sauce on the sandwich wasn't bad, but just tasted like everyday bottled sauce. I'd give the sandwich overall a grade of B-minus. Not bad, but not going to dethrone CFLA or Popeyes. Needs to be larger, needs to have more flavor, IMO. When I walked into BIG CHICKEN, I expected bigger chicken. Now the real Achilles heel of the place... pricing. A sandwich, fries, and a smaller drink was almost $15. Was not offered any other sauces. Apparently, they charge for them. Only given two ketchup packets. Look, for these prices, extra stuff should be included. There are sit down restaurants in town that I can get a full meal with salad for the same pricing. Hoping they adjust things a bit. With all that said, friendliness of the staff goes a long way, and it's also a brand new business. Glad to see new places investing in Lubbock.

Uncle Jerome (Combo). This is what's considered "Big Chicken" $15+ by the way

I just moved to Lubbock not too long ago and seen this place filled with a line on multiple occasions. From the look of the restaurant I knew it wasn't going to be a "value meal" so I held off. Well today I finally gotten the famous 'Big Chicken'! Looking at the drive thru menu I was a bit surprised at the PRICES. You need at least a $20 bill to be safe and feed only yourself. Fine. It's Big Chicken. Im sure I'm going to be getting what I payed for. That was not the case. I would say I'm an average size person of average height. But this sandwich was below average size. Shocking to say the least. I got the Jerome because my gf wanted a nibble but after seeing the sandwich, a nibble might just be half my meal. Needless to say I am disappointed. The price was $15-16 for a standard #3 meal. No extras, no frills. Still hungry. The sandwich isn't "bad" it's okay tasting. I wouldn't mind having another. What I DO mind is having to pay another $10+ to make that happen (a la carte). An average tasting sandwich, of a below average size, at a very above average price.

At last, the long awaited Big Chicken from Shaq made its way to the LBK! Being born and raised in West Texas, Lubbock is no stranger to the Permian Basin especially since it has way more variety of shops and eats so my wife and I made a day of it and decided to try Big Chicken! The outward appearance is unique stands out from the other restaurants along Milwaukee however inside the open layout and bar created a unique atmosphere for a fast food style restaurant! You go inside to the counter and take your order then pay and the food is then delivered to your table! To my surprise they serve Stubs Root Beer soda along with Pepsi products for soft drinks. The menu ranges from popcorn chicken, chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches as well as shakes and a couple desert options. My wife ordered the Uncle Jerome's Nashville Chicken Sandwich, the chicken patty was thinner than mine however the sauce used was great and I ordered the Ultimate Sandwich included a thick chicken breast breaded topped with Mac and cheese and fried onions (like onion straws) which was packed with flavor! Pair it with their house sauce (similar to Cane) what I hear and dip with fries made for a great lunch! Overall great chicken sandwiches, atmosphere and friendly staff, I'll be sure and recommend it to my fellow West Texans to give it a try! I can't wait until they decide to build one in San Antonio until then I'll be sure and stop by this one when I am in Lubbock!

Big chicken salad

Food is great, I LOVE the Uncle Jerome. The shames are top notch and the bar is amazing! They even carry my favorite Johnny Walker

Too expensive

Where is the "Big Chicken "? More like Chicken Little. Bought 2 of the Ultimate Combos and the chicken was flat and small. McDonald's has bigger chicken than this. The fries were burnt and small portions for the price it's definitely not worth your hard earn money. These are more like Sliders. I can't see Shaq eating this. Too expensive for the little food you get. Plus drive thru employee want a Tip. For what? Here's a tip have bigger chicken sandwiches $30.27 for nothing Thanks Shaq!!!

Big Chicken Original, BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Strips

All in all good experience on opening day. Workers in the kitchen and front were working very hard it was definitely a busy day for them! Everything was made to order and very hot and fresh. Sauces were my biggest complaint. Very small amount (1oz cups) and they are $.50 each! Crazy considering the sandwich is ~$9 each and fries are almost $4 each. The runner that brought our food to the table grabbed us a few extra for free (thankfully) Coors Light was $6 would love it if the glasses were frozen Our food meal was $42 + tax, asked for tip, plus beer in total we spent $54 for everything pictured. All staff we met were kind and efficient!

Door, with lots of info.

The place is bright and new, feels very open. The menu is busy and gives no explanation of what comes in a combo versus what will be an upcharge. Based on my conversation with the cashier, everything but the fries is probably an upcharge. A sign at the register says that you get two sauces with popcorn chicken, but the cashier tried to charge me extra until I pointed it out. The popcorn chicken is thigh meat chunks, which I love as a concept, but the execution was lots of tiny bits of mostly cornmeal, catfish batter. And those two sauces... one was only filled 1/4 of the way up the cup. I went ahead and sprung for the Dirty Fries (can't be cheap when trying something new, right?) but was disappointed. The toppings are only on the top layer, so there are plain fries underneath, and their cheese sauce tastes powdery, like it came from a bad gravy mix. Their soda choices are very limited (but does include Dr. Pepper). I spent almost $20 on the Big popcorn chicken combo with dirty fries - more than double my usual lunchtime spend, and was generally unimpressed. Did not satisfy my craving for fried chicken.

The Original with pepper jack cheese added

The Nashville hot was average but I liked the Original more than a Chic-fil-a sandwich! I thought the service was great and the atmosphere was inviting! There TV's with the game, and a bar for drinks! I can't say enough about how sweet the servers were!!

Dry sandwich with no sauce Thanks Shaq for the crappy sandwich

See all
