After passing by and wondering about his place we finally stopped to try it. It is excellent! We had chicken strips which are made when ordered fresh. We got French fries and mashed Potatoes and slaw. All excellent! They offer a Buffett also it is not serve yourself but they serve it. You can get it to go. Stopped again a few days later and had the chicken chef salad. Also very good! The service is friendly and seem to have many regulars known and greeted by name. Plenty of seating and clean restrooms. Definitely a great find in Eufaula! read more

Well worth the stop!! We are traveling back through the Eufaula, Alabama area and decided to stop even though it was packed and we were in a hurry. Now we understand why it was so busy. I got a two piece combo (breast and leg) that came with mashed potatoes and gravy and a yeast roll. The leg was outstanding, but let's talk about that chicken breast, which is always the driest part, pretty much any place you go, so a good fried breast is a mark, in my opinion, of a good chicken place. I've never had a chicken breast be that juicy and flavorful. I'd put this second only to Gus's Fried Chicken (IYKYK). This is the first time, though, that I've ever had the meat taste better than the batter, which is saying something because the crispy batter was very tasty also. My husband got the chicken strips with fries and he said it was definitely some of the better of both he's had in any fast food place. My mashed potatoes were good. Not the best I've ever had but they were real and had great flavor. Loved the gravy but I do wish they'd put a little more of it on the potatoes. The yeast roll was super soft and fresh. The sweet tea is also worth getting. Sweet but not too sweet and a good solid tea flavor. Total cost for two people was $18.10, which is far cheaper than most corporate fast food chains these days!!! In fact, I'm not sure how any of the fast food chicken chains could stay in business or even compete with Big H for quality, value, and service. There's no way I'd darken the door of a Popeyes, KFC, or Bojangles if there was a Big H in my proximity. We went through the drive thru so I can't speak to the ambience of the inside but I can say that the staff was friendly and good at their job. Overall, this place is a total winner and we look forward to stopping again the next time we're passing through. I cannot say enough good things about my experience there. read more

We ordered the dark meat box and chicken livers. The fried chicken was great. The livers could have been a little saltier. The dining room was closed for some reason but the staff was polite and quick. Nothing fancy about this place. Just old fashioned fried food. Good place. read more

Food is great, service great, best place for quantity, quality and price in town, specially if you're passing by. Fried chicken and desserts great taste and place. You can eat really good with less than $10.00 read more

We walked in and were welcomed by the people behind the counter. We tried the 2 meat 3 side dinners. I did the baked breast and leg ( they did not have thighs) with fried squash, green beans and banana pudding and roll. We also had the fried thigh and breast corn, fried squash and potato casserole with cornbread. We thought the chicken breast was a bit dry but tasted ok. The sides were good but bit salty. The roll was great! The amount of food for the price was good as we could not eat it all. read more

Hot and good old style fried chicken. Excellent service. Cooked after we ordered...not heat lamp dried out food.

Not gonna lie we've driven past this restaurant several times and never stopped. Finally we stopped Upset that we didn't do it sooner! Food is served cafeteria style... ! The phone chicken is juicy and crispy!! Delicious!! All the sides were very homemade tasting! I would highly recommend :-) read more

Food is really good. The vegetables are prepared fresh every day.. The peas are off the chain.

We used to love this place until they changed their all you can eat buffet. I really liked having a small taste of everything. Since Covid, it's been cafeteria style where you only get one meat and two sides that they serve for you. Once they go back, we'll start eating here more frequently. read more

The drive-thru service was unprofessional and didn't allow me to complete my order because they rushed me out of the line.

That chicken is sooooo delicious. I stop there every time I'm in the area. It's small and they have a buffet. The staff is nice and make you smile. The chicken is so crispy and yummy. The rolls are on another level. Sooo sweet and hot! read more

We love to eat here because the food is really good. But alas, things you change with time and it is no longer an "all you can eat" buffet, even though the gentleman behind the counter called it a buffet. For $10 it include - 2 pieces of meat with a limit of one chicken breast per plate. - 3 sides - Beverage - all you can drink - Bread - all you can eat. I like trying a little if everything and not a lot of one thing, that is why I like the all you can eat buffet style places. It is now a cafeteria style service where they serve you as you walk past the trays. read more

Great good, fair price, cute diner. They serve you your choices so the food is protected. read more

Great value and the closest to grandmas fried chicken you can find. Love the macaroni salad. Large portions. You will not leave hungry

A local gem. Very friendly staff that is always congenial and happy to have a chat with you. The fried chicken is good here but the sides can be touch and go. They have a drive-through if you were in a hurry. Very good tea and the service is very quick you can get in and out of this place as quick as you can a McDonald's but obviously the food is less processed and much better tasting. This place is also good if you want a bucket of chicken. You can get all dark or all white meat. read more

What surprise in Eufaula! Southern style buffet with great food made from scratch! I am so glad we stopped on our way home from Florida. Everything was so good and they were busy. I had the fried chicken which there are 2 kinds, the darker crust was crispier. Of course they had chicken livers! Fried catfish was awesome, collard greens, black eye peas, potato casserole, etc. And end it with peach cobbler! There are still other choices I have not listed. The map directions through Yelp did not get us there. I had to use Google. If you are looking for a taste of the South go here. read more

We always stop here to/from Fla and Atl. Today's meal was outstanding. The best squash casserole I have ever had!!!! The yeast rolls melt in your mouth. It's a must stop for lunch or dinner. read more

My friends and I came from Tampa and stayed in Eufaula to hike at Providence Canyon. You can imagine the mentality of "treat yo self" the 7 mile hike gave us. Being from Florida, which isn't really considered "southern" despite being the southernmost state in the east coast, we were really jonesing for some good southern home cooking. Big H definitely delivered!! We were immediately greeted kindly. If felt like I was visiting my neighbors, whose mother always ushered us to make ourselves at home in the kitchen. From the door you could see mounds of freshly cooked chicken; you better believe she didn't have to say so twice! The fried chicken and the bread were among the best of their kinds I've ever had. The sides only made it better. My only regret: eating too fast, making me get full too fast. The only thing that could've made this better was unlimited Mac n cheese. You really don't get such great home cooked food down in the big cities of Florida. I hope I find myself back in Eufaula to my myself at home here again! read more

Big H Chicken - You're insane to not do the buffet if you've got the time! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Eufaula, Alabama

If you're visiting this is a place you don't want to miss!!!! read more

Ok, reality check is due here. Yelp is pretty darned accurate...however if other reviewers think this is "the best Southern food around" and give it 5? stars...then this area REALLY needs some proper Southern cooking. The reality is it's inexpensive buffet food. The fried chicken is ok, not 5-star wow. The sides are all just average. Seriously. And I sincerely was searching for peaches in the cobbler. Wish I could say better here...just keeping it real. read more

The chicken was really good. However, I just went through the drive though. It was an hour before closing and they were literally out of everything...except for chicken and mashed potatoes. When I got home, I realized that the sides to my meal were not even in the bag. As a mother of four, I found this to be more than unprofessional. We literally ended up eating chicken and the yeast rolls (which were a little dry) for dinner. I called to inform the store and they said I could come back. No apologies or anything. With it being so late, I called it a night. They have some fire chicken, but the customer service needs to be revamped. read more

The staff are not wearing masking and gloves . When I asked the manager why. She stated "we are required but I can't breathe in it". I politely told her that the customers Are uncomfortable with that. I will NOT be returning until I know they are practicing covid safety precautions. read more

Delicious, cafeteria style dining experience. Staff was very friendly. As of 6/11/22, you can get 2 meats, 3 sides (which we were allowed to choose a dessert as our third side) a drink and bread of choice for $12. I love when restaurants take a regular portion size, chuckle, and pile on some more. We left fat and happy! read more

The employees are extremely rude here, and rejected me service simply because I was taking to long to order, but I was new to the place and was reading the menu. Literally like 2 minutes trying to order for 4 people read more

Yup, it's a gem! Fried chicken spicy and regular, baked chicken, & chicken and dumplings...all delicious! I also loved the stuffing, and peach cobbler. Really some of the best chicken and sides I've had. The staff are hard working and friendly. read more

Winner winner chicken dinner. They've got award winning fried chicken on an all you can eat buffet. Folks go for the chicken but there are right fair sides too. Mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, squash, greens, cole slaw are all worthy of note. Place is clean enough and service is amicable and agreeable. As I said most folks come for the chicken, it's well seasoned and delicious fried but not greasy. They go through enough of it to keep a good balance. read more

A stop for lunch on our trip revealed this is the place locals come to get their fix of fried chicken and home cooked veggies. Very clean and fresh salad bar. And the pineapple bread pudding was to die for! A must to experience! read more

Good food and lots of it. We have passed this place so many times on the way to PCB, and never tried it. So we stopped by this time, and were joined by many locals for an early dinner. The buffet had a nice variety of southern style veggies, ham, roasted and yummy, crispy fried chicken. The mashed potatoes and gravy and dressing aren't to be missed. The real ice tea was fresh, delicious and complimented this traditional food. And a nice cakey peach cobbler finished off our meal, nicely. Need a big serving of Sunday dinner while in Eufala - try Big H. read more

On the way home from PCB and was looking through Yelp to find something different to eat for dinner. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The chicken and dumplings tasted so much like my grandmothers I couldn't get enough of them. We had the buffet and definitely will stop again when traveling through. read more

If you are passing through Eufaula, stop at Big H's. On the way to/from PCB and GA, we try to leave and time it to eat lunch there on the way down and again going back home. The buffet for 2 adults is $19, which includes all food and your drinks. The buffet has a salad bar, about 10 veggies, three kinds of chicken, and dessert. Also, you will want to take a refill of the sweet tea with you-it's awesome. They have more southern style food than you could possibly eat. We recommend to all of our family and friends. Big H's is a tradition for us and it has never disappointed. All of the food is really good; best fried chicken ever and delicious peach cobbler!!
