Stopped by Big's Chicken on NE Glisan and had a solid experience overall. We ordered the 6 wings and the jerk chicken sandwich with buffalo and ranch on the side. The chicken itself was the highlight, fresh, crispy, juicy, and meaty. The sandwich especially had a great portion size and really delivered on flavor. The wings were decent, but the sandwich definitely stole the show. Service was friendly and straightforward. It was a bit slower when we arrived, so the food came out quickly, which was a plus. The space has a fun Western theme and was very clean with plenty of seating. I'd go back for the flavor and the price point alone. Definitely recommend to friends if you're looking for crispy chicken that doesn't break the bank. read more

The thing that stuck out the most at this establishment was the decor, the seasoning, presentation, and crunch of the food. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich a la carte, which is nice because I'm not big on jo-jo fries. The Sammie had a great crunch to it and it tasted amazing with the white gold and Fresno sauce on it. I like that they don't drench the friend chicken in it and turn it soggy. It allows the chicken to be crunchy then with the pickles it's on it makes it more crunchy. The potato bun was soft and pair great with everything. Instead of fries I got a 6 piece of their wings and they did not disappoint. They smoke, then fry them and cover them in dry spice. They're crunchy and taste very flavorful. I wish I would gotten 12. It wasn't enough food that I went and ordered some of the fried Mac n cheese bites. Once again crunchy they blended nicely with the zesty ranch and Fresno sauce, Cheesy as well and they brought at the perfect temp not overly hot. My girl friend ordered the PDX Hot Chicken sammie. HEADS UP the heat will catch up as you eat the sandwich. It's not super hot, I give it a 6 out of 10, with a 10 being super hot. The zesty ranch and maple sarat gat sauce pair perfectly with the chicken thigh and remains, you guessed it, crunchy. Then you put it in between two slices of Texas toast and you get a great tasting sammie that'll get you breathing and sweating a little. The price is fair and I don't think too expensive. The vibe of the restaurant is fantastic and the decor is cool. The customer service was great too, which is better than most places these days. Bigs is easy to find and Parking is easy as well. read more

Stopped in to Big's Chicken to try their Portland Burger Week burger. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a relaxed feel and is clean. The Country Fried Burger was delicious. I give it a 10/10. I love their food, so it won't be long before I visit again. If you've never tried Big's Chicken, I would definitely put it on your list of places to try. read more

Really good, insanely fast, the fresh cucumber pickles were a great little side for the wings. Currently eating "keto-ish" the fried dry rub wings seemed safe enough. Really great. Good as a wing gets. Not cheap but not expensive either. Getting something to eat while my wife has surgery across the street. She was starving and will be upset when she finds out. I can't eat the chicken for her... Or did I? I ate the chicken for her. Good deeds, great chicken. read more

We stayed at a rental walking distance and heard some great stuff about this spot and thought we'd check it out. We both got the PDX hot chicken sandwich with bun subbed for toast and jojo potatoes. Great portions since we were starving and we appreciated the variety of sauces it came with. I love my creamy and my partner loves her spicy sauces! From the pic you can gather it was finger lickin good ha. One minor ding was that it didn't have the crunch level we'd liked. Can't speak to the service or vibe inside the space since we ordered takeout. read more

Fried chicken sandwich was actually so good. Honestly could have been the best chicken sandwich I've had. The spice and fry was perfect and the chicken was very juicy too. It was messy af but I didn't care because it was so tasty. Somehow a pickle got on top of my sandwich but who cares. Service was good and friendly. They also got our orders out relatively quick. Inside was rustic and homey. There was cool wooden decor and I like the vibe. Good place to watch football. Definitely check this place out. read more

The chicken here is nasty! We ordered wings, fried mac, vegan rice, pickles and Jojo's. The only thing that was good was the JoJo's. Small un-meaty chicken, that we did NOT eat. The wings still had feathers on them. The Mac bites were bland inside and covered in salt on the outside. Cucumber salad was average. Vegan rice was decent lacked depth of flavor but still consummable. Save your money!!! read more

Sandwich week brought me and Joe here. Great menu I recommend the pickles and bean salad. They had a tiki inspired drink on tap along with plenty of can options and a few taps. The chicken sando was delicious. There's a lot of room in this place, vaulted ceiling and several TVs with sports. Good for solo to group or 4-6 (if you can find a table). Can be busy given the location near the hospital. I went on a Friday night a peak time and sat at the bar read more

This place has a lot of great stuff, but once I had the Big Dirty, I was hooked. None of the other stuff on the menu matters anymore. It's the dish I crave when I'm in town and make a point to come here to get my fix. Now that the Beaverton location is closed, I have to go downtown now. An inconvenience to be sure, but still worth it! The white gold sauce is amazing and even though the Big Dirty comes with a generous helping, I have to add more. This is probably awful for my waistline but it's just too good to pass up. It's best when it's fresh from the restaurant because the Jojos are still crispy, but getting it delivered isn't bad either if you're in their coverage area. Now if only I can find anything close to this in Atlanta... read more

The best grilled chicken in Portland. The fried broccoli is a must try! The sauces are great, my son bought me a bottle of the Fresno sauce. I put it on Papa Murphy chicken bacon artichoke pizza! read more

I wanna start off by saying how friendly the staff is here. They greeted us right away and and laughed at my partners terrible Dad jokes. Later while eating there they even brought us some forks. The restrooms in the place have some hilarious artwork and local history. The food was perfect. The fried chicken had amazing flavor and was not overcooked. Fried mac and cheese bites had that perfect cheese pull. The food smell too good for time to take a photo. 10/10 will be back again. read more

I stopped here on a whim while I was out running errands. I ordered 6 wings and a veggie bowl to go. Order was ready right on time and I was out the door in less than a minute. I forgot I had an additional errand to run after I picked up the order so I didn't get to dig in until about an hour later, which made me worry about how the wings were going to hole up. but even with being less than fresh they were delicious! They were crispy and well seasoned, with a medium heat level. I used the alabama gold sauce for dipping and it was phenomenal. I can only image how amazing these things would have been if id sat down to have them right away. I tried a few bites of the veggie bowl and it was great too. I will order it for myself in the future. I can't wait to go back! We also ordered the banana pudding, which was not to my taste (I'm very weird with banana things) but I was told that it was good. read more

Order at cashier upon entry and the meal is brought to your table. We had grilled chicken sandwiches with gold bbq sauce. They don't have "regular bbq sauce" but what they make is good. One sandwich had the slaw and gold sauce on the bun. All Smothered and it was fabulous. The chicken had a nice char and was very flavorful. Jojos were great too. They had can soda choices, which was a nice touch. They have fountain drink choices too. We were there early afternoon so it wasn't busy. Nice atmosphere with bar seating too. Cooks kitchen is visible which is a nice touch. We were pleasantly surprised with how good everything was. Will definitely return if we're in the area in the future. I wish there was a place like this in Eugene! read more

I really like the wings here! The portion even on the 6 wing basket, is quite generous, including at least a couple legs. The skin is crisp and very flavorful and I love it. Miki... not so much, for what strange reason I know not. The dipping sauces are flavorful too, but honestly, I just love these wings with nothing on them. The chicken itself is juicy and flavorful. For non-buffalo, non-sauced wings, a thing I really enjoy, especially when not wearing old clothes and a bib, these are absolutely some my favorites. Sorry, took a star off to honor my wife's not wanting to go here for dinner together. read more

Be careful this place is addicting. Second time here in less than a week! I was of course craving another Veggie Bowl. It is packed with the best flavors I've ever had in a Veggie bowl. This time my husband got the Fried Chicken Sandwich. I had a bite. In my opinion it's by far one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! And of course we got the Mac -n- Cheese bites. Such a cute place with delicious food and great service. read more

Once upon a time, Big's Chicken was worth the hype. Now it's a tired shadow of itself. Lazy, unimaginative, and drowning in salt to disguise the lack of real flavor. The menu feels like it's been gathering dust for years, with zero evolution or creativity. It's as if the owner has stopped caring entirely, coasting on old reputation while letting the quality circle the drain. For a place that once had spark, it's clear the passion left the kitchen a long time ago. If you are looking for good fried chicken you are better off going to KFC. read more

Some of the best wings in town, unfortunately you get 2 bites out of each wing. Without a doubt the smallest wings I have ever had coming from a wing enthusiast. So for $20 it's about $1.65 a bite!! read more

I wish I could leave a proper review of this place and rave about the food, but unfortunately, we were stripped of that opportunity. This NEGATIVE review is based solely on TERRIBLE first impressions and a RUDE employee. My husband and I were eager to come here during the Portland Sandwich Week as we heard great things about their sandwich. We saw on Yelp that there was outdoor seating and decided to bring the pups out with us on a beautiful Saturday morning. We got there ahead of time and waited for Big's Chicken to open. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a disgruntled employee who bluntly told us that dogs weren't allowed inside and that we had to leave. PERIOD. I asked him if they would be setting up the tables outside and he said that they'll start setting it up during the spring. And that was the end of that conversation. OK??? We left CONFUSED and highly OFFENDED. I would never support a business with employees who aren't welcoming. Maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Maybe he was sick and tired of Portland Sandwich Week. Who knows? I only wish he welcomed us as paying customers and offered us an alternative like OH I DON'T KNOW ??? MAYBE ORDERING FOOD AND TAKING IT TO GO? Instead, he just kicked us out!! BOO! DO BETTER! read more

I walked in and the music was playing on the speakers was 1970s R&B. Every sound took me back to a very cool time in my life. So the vibe was right. The ambiance was old farm house bar with some chic. It was as if someone went out of their way to create a rustic look. It worked in this instance. The look fits the area it's in. I ordered take out so my interaction with the staff was limited. From that small interaction I was satisfied with the service level. Now to the chicken. I order the whole bird fried. The presentation on opening the containers was good, all the pieces were laid in the container with care and skin side up facing the opening. They even put the fried skin in the container that fell off during cooking. The fried skin had a consistency of hard fried pork skins, but spicy. The skin on the chicken was a slightly softer than the pieces that were not attached. The chicken was spicy. It was a blend of hot and spicy. It was my first time trying chicken like this. I would give this chicken a 4 star for the flavor. They get 4 stars for keeping the chicken moist after frying. Great job. read more

Bit's Chicken has been on my list of restaurants to visit because I am a fried chicken fan. The vibe - local, organic, homemade, and a throw back vintage feel in the decor of the restaurant. It was quiet when we arrived, but I'm sure that's because it was on a Tuesday and just under an hour before their closing time at 9pm. The staff was friendly and welcomed us as we entered. This was our first time here and of course it was their reputation for fried chicken that brought us here. The order....full fried bird to go! We sat and relaxed while waiting. They had 70's R&B playing that had us singing and grooving. The bird itself. It had a great exterior crunch to the bite, but it wasn't the typical fried chicken I was expecting. It had a bit more texture like a Chicharrón, yet the taste was distinctly Cajun inspired. It took me back a moment but it was good!!! I took another bite. The meat was extremely moist and a nice all around flavor. Of course I finished my piece of chicken, with a smile. It hit the spot. While it wasn't what I expected, it delighted my senses and tastebuds. I will definitely pay another visit. read more

Been to Big's a few times now. Great place, great food, great people. Smoked and then fried? Who knew? The side dishes are all delicious as well. Happy hour deals are incredible. Hard to stand out in Portland but Big's does what Big's does very well. Love them. read more

Big flavor, delicious food! Fried wings are crisp outside and juicy inside, just how I like them. The tips are left on. Fried M&C bites - nice, 2-bite treat. Not too much cheese flavor but nice crunch. Loaded Jojos - get the gravy on the side for delivery so it stays fresh and not soggy. Loaded up with chicken, gravy, white/gold sauces, etc. Always a great delivery experience .... Nothing bad so far! read more

Went to location off of Glisan by the hospital. Street parking is available in the nearby neighborhood for free. Went during happy hour on a Thursday for early dinner which I didn't realize they offered that! Ordered the fried mac and cheese, 6 wings, and chicken thigh meal. Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful! I loved the fried mac and cheese bites! read more

If you're not into spicy at all I can't recommend this place because even the basic chicken sandwich had some kick, and I wasn't the only one who thought so. Which means the spicy ones are very spicy. The "fries" are giant potato wedges that are quite enjoyable. Although it does make the loaded ones a bit difficult to eat, so I'd prefer just regular then so I can dip them. The salads were kind of meh for me, but I absolutely loved the cornbread pancakes. So much that this is going to be a thing I'll need to do more often now. The chicken itself was really good and crispy and for sure had flavor. It's a good place for some spicy chicken when you're in the mood. read more

I've been eating Bigs since the old place on Glisan, always good and tasty. Can't wait to come back

This is from an Uber Eats order, so I won't complain too much that it was ice cold. My chicken wings were dry, chewy, scrawny. The skin was soggy, which might have been due to the long wait for delivery. Very disappointing though. I think they're way too spicy, too. But that's just personal preference. I don't like the gravy, which tastes just like the overly spicy chicken. The potatoes underneath are good. I do like the dirty rice. I think the chicken, even forgiving for delivery and spice preference, was just not good at all. Maybe bad luck. read more

The chicken here is always crispy and tender. It is always a hard toss up to choose between the chicken sandwich or the the veggie bowl, with the added chicken. The sauces they make in house compliment them both. read more

Another great chicken spot that has become my go to is Big's! The space is pretty spread out and glad to see hours have extended recently. My go to has been the spicy-fried chicken sandwich with jo jo's. The portion is generous and can easily fill me up the rest of the day. I like that there are a variety of sauces to choose from. The very spicy sauce that is used for the spicy fried chicken packs a punch. I would definitely rank it as one of the hotter sauces this place has to offer. I am not usually a fan of mac and cheese fried balls in general. Usually it's just breading and mushy noodles with very little cheese flavor. Big's does it right and I truly think they make the best in town. They add just the right amount of breading and you can actually taste the cheesy goodness with each bite. Sure they are meant to be shared, but I would probably keep them to myself since they are so addicting. The staff is wonderful and service has always been prompt. I know when I visit I can always be sure I know I will leave a happy camper, cheers! read more
