There are a lot of chicken joints around here....really...tons of them. Finally got around to…read moretrying WS today and glad I did. There are quite a few positive attributes going for them. 1) great boneless wings...big and juicy 2) seasoned fries were delicious 3) staff was incredibly friendly 4) food was prepared quickly 5) chicken was still crispy after the ride home 6) the sauces my goodness were they fantastic I got the chicken and waffles sauce...it is cravable, more than just maple syrup That said there were a couple things I didn't like 1) the vanilla cornbread wasn't worth ordering again. It was dry and had an odd banana taste, almost like an artificial banana extract was added 2) I didn't like the packaging of my wings, sides of the box were messy, covered in sauce and difficult to eat out of 3) I also didn't like that the fries were thrown in with my sauced wings. Made them sloppy to eat

You must order carryout or Eat the delicious foods cooked perfectly here at Big Joe's Chicken & Ribs. (Seafood too) I've bought different dinners to go on the weekends when My friends come over to relax in the basement at the bar and enjoy a tasty and satisfying meal with combos from this yummy business. Vicki and her crew of talented cooks and other staff work very hard all day long to fill orders and walk-ins too. I would place your order the day before an event or call in the morning the day and night to pick up a carry out order that is so Finger licking good and with their Fantastic Flavors! BTW: I still have not met BIG JOE Yet! :-) My photos attached from different orders placed for parties shows the large combo dinners in nicely packed containers with large portions too. Never overcooked foods! The sides are choices of broasted potatoes or french fries to compliment an order of chicken, ribs or fish. YES the fish fillets are so crispy and lightly battered and crunch when you taste. Their homemade sauces on ribs and sandwiches are sweet and delicious with sassy tastes!

Let's try to start this on a good note…read more Ambiance - it's a nice place, seems very clean. Very organized. Lots of electronic boards on the wall let you know exactly where you are as far as orders go. I'd give the ambiance a 4 out of 5. Service - been here a few times and I've never had to wait for my order more than 5 minutes. The employees are attentive, nice, and kick the food out pretty quick. I'd give the service 4.5 out of 5. And now... Food - I live wings and I've eaten them from just about everywhere that serves them. I ordered my typical order, 5 buffalo wings and 5 lemon pepper wings with a large fry. The wings, sadly just mediocre. They tasted heavily of fryer oil and the sauce was thin. It didn't stay on the product very well and almost tasted "thinned out". Buffalo wings you should really TASTE the sauce because that's the most important part, the flavor. The sauce didn't have any WOW impact. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. The lemon pepper wings I mostly tasted lemon. Very tart, not the flavor I am used to when eating lemon pepper wings. Again, the wings tasted heavily of fryer oil. When I was done eating my stomach felt off because of the oil taste. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. (Side note: the oil from the wings had seeped through the basket they were in, and through the bag onto my car seat. That's a lot of oil) The seasoned fries. This was my second time ordering them and it was the second time I hardly tasted any seasoning. If you're going to call them "seasoned fries" you should probably be able to taste the difference between a plain order of French fries and seasoned fries. The seasoning seemed rather non-existent. The fries were in fact hot, mostly still crispy when I got home. The homemade ranch really did save them though. I'd give the seasoned fries a 3 out of 5. In a bind, I'd order from there again if it was late and nothing else was open. But it's definitely not a place I'd drive past other wing places to get. There is better out there. Overall: I'd give it 2.5 out of 5

Wow... time sure does fly! I's been almost 15 years since I first reviewed this one…read more.. Bad Brad's quality is still top notch, and they must have great management as their servers have been over the top good at each location year after year. It's hard to not complain about pricing in 2026... Brisket (or "premium meats") being added to meals is $3.25 ABOVE the normal price, and they now have "premium sides", which are also served with an upcharge on top of the menu price... I get that there a lot of complexities at the moment, and I'm hopeful that prices will come down in short order as it's really hard to justify ALL of these extra costs. I figured it was a better value this time around to get the 1/2 Chicken and add sliced brisket; sides were mac & cheese and BBQ chowder. Despite my gripes about pricing, this was an exceptional meal!!! The brisket was great as always; not too fatty, not too dry and tender, with a great smoke flavor! Sides were great as always... that BBQ chowder gets me each time and the mac & cheese was HOT, very flavorful and just hit the spot as a perfect comfort food. I took the chicken home with some of the sauces and it was just great as well... Even after being reheated in the air fryer, it was tender and juicy with zero toughness/stringiness. It was a really nice smoked bird! GOOD BBQ is hard to find, but Bad Brad's is still doing it right, even after all of these years!

We also got a large salt & pepper fry and a regular lemon pepper fry to share. Everything was hot, fresh, and fried well. No soggy wings, no limp fries. The inside felt calm and welcoming, and the staff was cool and accommodating. Honestly, it was just a solid visit. Good deal, good food, no stress. Would definitely come back.

The tenders were very big. You could definitely get a 2 tender meal and still be satisfied. The Nashville dry rub was spicier than other places, we liked it. The garlic parm fries were good, but I'm not sure I would get them again, they were really oily. The ranch was really good and I'm happy that the combos come with 2 sauces with no additional charge. The tables were a bit dirty but that might be because they need to be cleaned after every use due to it being a menu of generally messy food. I will be trying it again!

I was first introduced to Chicken Shack through work as we get it catered for some of our meetings…read more My boyfriend was curious since I'm always talking about it so I decided to take him on Sunday night. We ordered the junior super combo with potatoes and coleslaw. On the menu, it says the hot sauce and BBQ sauce are extra but the guy at the register didn't charge us. Food came out in less than 10 minutes which was fine with us. Let's start with the bad - sauces aren't good and the food doesn't need either. Coleslaw is diced too finely and I prefer my slaw with bigger pieces of lettuce and less creamy. Now on to the good - chicken had a nice crunch and the dark meat was pretty juicy. Chicken breast was a bit dry but we expected that. The wings were a bit small but luckily we only got one in our combo. Ribs fall off the bone and are surprisingly good for a fast food joint. The buttery potatoes are my absolute favorite - the calories are terrifying but it's so worth it. I prefer to get the potatoes that are the bottom because they're drenched in butter lol. My boyfriend and I cleared the combo no problem and I'll always hope for Chicken Shack catering rather than sandwiches.
