★★★★★ 5.0 Mark H · Jan 2026

Been wanting to try this place for a long time and then stumbled upon it today. I was not disappointed. Food was hot and fresh and service was fantastic. Rick, the guy working the Register and lobby was fantastic with recommendations and overall service. Lucky to have a young guy like him working so hard. Food was great, french fries were nice and crispy like I like them and the chicken sandwich which was wonderful. There are many versions so I will be back!

I would give this place a two star review just because the cashier was nice but I am so disappointed in this place it’s one star. Was excited because endorsed by Shaq. This place gives him just negative pr. I spent $15 on this sandwich. Not only did they not put the onion rings on it look how absolutely sad this piece of chicken is. The thinnest piece of chicken I’ve ever seen. I was still hungry after leaving here and spent $40. Also the meal doesn’t come with a fountain drink….WHAT DID I SPEND $15 FOR THEN?? Absolutely no value found here. Go look at my reviews I’m usually very supportive of companies but this place was such a bad experience. Also the owner/cook was watching me from the back like he personally chose the thinnest piece of chicken for me and wanted to see my disappointme

I give it two stars based solely on the kindness and attentiveness of the employees in this individual establishment. If they had not been kind, I would have given it a one star. The chicken is not particularly flavorful, despite getting a sandwich with plenty of toppings. The bbq sauce is just refrigerated sweet baby rays. It’s wildly overpriced, the “meal” does not come with a drink. It’s $14 for 3 strips and fries but no drink. The fries are not seasoned, you have to do that yourself. There are so many other chicken places in the area that are both cheaper and better. The quality and price are just not there. Customer service is an A plus though.

Happen to be in the area and was absolutely starving!! I thought this was actually great time to try out Shaq backed Big Chicken. The store, spotless! Employee's, GREAT!! Why was there not a soul in the place during the lunch hour? Location is challenging at best, by the time you realize the store is here you've most likely passed it and the intersection is harrowing to try and double back and it may not be worth it, I'll let you decide. Let's get to the food: I ordered the original sandwich meal and it's was ALL way, way toooo salty, just from the chicken to the fries, salt, salt, salt and its a shame because the chicken was a nice thick breast, juicy and tender but I couldn't get past the 3rd bite and the fries....I love salty fries but this was overwhelmingly salty also a shame because

I've only eaten here once but there was basically no wait and the food was pretty good. We got the larger portion and it was sufficient for both my wife and I. Their sauce is pretty good as well.
