    We came here for a quick lunch on a Sunday. Was not busy at all, but the wait was quite long considering. We sat on the patio which was nice as it is dog friendly and were able to bring our dog. The fries are really good. Would come back just for those. I had the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was juicy but the sandwich overall was bland. The boneless wings could have used more sauce but we're good overall. This is a great casual spot to go for lunch if you don't mind waiting a little bit.

    Well i returned here. The only thing I didn't like was the free sauce bar was gone and it was 50 cents per sauce now. Still, ths new shaq snacks was very good with the Smoke Show having a tender and Cole slaw and sauce and the curds were very good too.

    I am pleasantly surprised by Big Chicken! Was craving lunch and this place was under a mile from my rental. YUM! I got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries. I would say the chicken sandwich was a 7/10, it was super crispy but needed a bit more sauce. The fries were excellently crisp, like an upscale Culver's fry. While I still have had better Chicken Sandwiches, I am happy with the meal I had here.

    Really nice bar seating area

    So we came to Downtown Gilbert for date night. We decided to check out Big Chicken. This place did nit disappoint. We loved the atmosphere, this was a fun place to have dinner and a drink! I had the Uncle Combo and Janna had the Ultimate Combo. They were so good, the chicken was soooo juicy. I would absolutely do it again. My chicken was super spicy, oh my goodness, it was so good. The staff was awesome and they all seemed to enjoy working there which is always a good sign. We will absolutely be back!

    After recently moving to Gilbert, AZ, my husband and I have found ourselves choosing Big Chicken as one of our go to restaurants when we are wanting something quick and tasty! I had tried the limited-time Sir Charles chicken sandwich and was very happy with my order! Next time I am trying the Original and also getting a double chocolate shake We recently met the new owner and he was so welcoming and nice! Seeing his excitement about what is to come with their establishment made us forever customers of Shaq's brand! (Fyi.. New sandwiches on the way!!) I noticed they have a bar and could only imagine how fun it would be to start a fun night on the town here with dinner & drinks! I believe you can even order a boozy shake too!

    Fries were really good. Wings could definitely use a bit more sauce, they were a little dry. Grilled cheese chicken sandwich is amazing. They definitely don't go light on the cheese, love it! Ultimate chicken sandwich was also good and they have a great patio to enjoy it all that is dog friendly. We will definitely be back.

    First impressions is that it's very clean.. and up to date, the guy that took our order was patient and directed us well it's very open and has a nice patio. The food was actually very good, gramps approve as well! The chicken wasn't dry the sauce was like a peppery canes sauce the music was good in there overall enjoyed

    New favorite spot in Gilbert! I stopped by Big Chicken on a whim and WOW--what a find! I had the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and it absolutely blew me away. Perfectly crispy, juicy chicken with just the right amount of heat, all tucked into a soft, flavorful bun. You can tell they care about quality and flavor here. The staff was super friendly, the service was quick, and the whole vibe of the place was fun and welcoming. Honestly might be the best chicken sandwich I've had in Arizona...

    Me and shaq (cut out)

    Wonderful! Everyone was real kind and the food was fast! Did not see Shaq but other than that 10/10

    This was one of our let's check out a new chicken sandwich place episodes! Decided to give Shaq's restaurant a try. Not very busy inside. We did get the chicken sandwich specials which I thought were a nice value! The chicken sandwiches were actually very good and I would recommend stopping here to try them out. Well prepared, tender, moist and delicious! The fries were outstanding too. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely go back here again.

    I was at a community event that was close to this location, which was great because I have been wanting to try the spot just because of Shaq and he thinks he knows chicken so well. Went in the place was pretty empty. It was an odd day and an odd time it was a Wednesday evening. Nevertheless, I ordered buffalo chicken and barbecue chicken bites. I ordered some chicken tender strips, french fries and mac & cheese just to get a variety of things and check out the sauces. The buffalo boneless chicken bites were the best with a close second on the chicken strips now I didn't taste all of the sauces, but my daughter says that the BC sauce was extremely good. The mac & cheese was one of their signature dishes. It was good, but it was much too cheesy for me personally. Overall, I think that the chicken was very good and I would return if I wanted a nice buffalo boneless and I'm in that area. Like I said it wasn't anyone in the place, but me and my daughter, but the set up was very nice. They had a bar TVs all over to watch the games and the seating was pretty comfortable. The service was nice the young lady at the front helped us pick out some items because it was our first time.

    Kenny the jet chicken sandwich with jalapeño slaw and fried pickles
    Dale H.

    Interesting, but not too bad. Was kinda nervous when we walked in around 6pm on a Wednesday and NO ONE was in the restaurant. We ordered from a variety of chicken sandwiches (there is only chicken) and one chicken salad, pils some "dirty" fries and sweet potatoes waffle fries. Easy menu to order from, and the folks taking our order was nice and made some suggestions and food came out fast. It was ALL delicious! The chicken on the sandwiches was large, moist and flavorful. The sweet potato waffle fries were probably some of the best I've ever had. My spicy Kenny the jet chicken sandwich with jalapeno slaw and fried pickles was really good, it did have a bite, but not too bad. We had someone come out from the kitchen and asked how we liked the food. Interestingly though, we were there for about an hour enjoying our meal and no one else ever came in, but all the other restaurants seemed pretty busy. I'd go back though, but you have to like, and want, a chicken sandwich because that's pretty much all they have.

At first I thought I didn't want a burger as I usually make my own at home but was pleasantly surprised at the menu & ambiance. Sarina was our waitress & I asked her if the California Bowl was like a salad with a veggie burger as it doesn't state a beef patty? She said it's like a burger w/o a bun but as a bowl w/the ingredients & TOPPED with a beef patty. Oh, I see... So I asked if I could just have the Basmati Rice but it was a mixture of Basmati & Quinoa so she said she could give me more ingredients of something else like Brussels sprouts or Greens so I asked for more Greens. The ingredients are: griddled Sweet Potatoes, roasted Mushrooms, caramelized Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Quinoa, Avocado slices with a Tamari glaze. It was also topped with Cilantro & Green Onions. I also ordered an Iced Tea. The California Burger Bowl was soooo delicious with such a flavor bomb of textures, sweetness & caramelized, smokey flavors! The crunchiness from the cold greens, warm Brussels Sprouts, soft & sweet Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potatoes, plus the creaminess of the Avocados was such a great medley! I think I need to replicate this at home! Very creative & healthy! My cousin & friend both got burgers, one topped with mushrooms & one with a lettuce wrap sub, Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fries. The seating is very comfortable with the cushioned seats & booths & the restaurant is very bright & airy with lots of windows & high ceilings. If you have to use the restroom, it's located outside & will give you a passcode. Highly recommend this place!

Very nicely decorated with their theme. The street view seating was shaded and the misters were on which kept it cool. Street traffic was a bit loud but not too bad, the front parking buffered the noise. Our server greeted us quickly and was jam packed with suggestions of comparable commercial beers to their brand of beers. Not going to lie, their brand is delicious and actually a bit better than the commercial brand We had their Dead out & Dont F it up. Dead out is a must try, I'm not in any way a dark ale person but this was by far more tasty than the Don't f it up. However both were wonderful. The food is not a reason to go. We both had tacos and shared onion rings. The meat was cooked perfectly but the sauce was less palatable, flavors were too overpowering and drenched sauce. It killed the flavor of the meat itself. When mentioned it to the server, she simply shrugged and stated they do have "heat", I said that it was too much on there, lifted a piece with my fork and it was dripping, covered. Heat was not the issue, too much was. The sauce itself was tasty, but took away from the dish. Had it been on a chip of a fry dipped into it would have been better. Duly noted, next ask for it on the side, let the meat itself shine through. Lastly, the onion ring were truly disappointing. Arrived a very cool room temperature. They arrived few minutes after the tacos, and after reminding the server as we had ordered them. Almost felt as if they were ready on time by the kitchen staff, she was purely overwhelmed and simply, forgot. Small portion and my opinion not an option on my future visit again. Soggy and very greasy, perhaps would have been better if served hot and on time. Worth a visit, may go again. Maybe. Definitely go for the extensive list of brews, here is where they shine.
