    The food is average, no line so service is quick, and it's grab and go with no seating, so not really worth it unless you need something to go, quick though!

    Excellent packing to take your chicken with you and keep on working!

    Big chicken is good for what it is. The menu is short, but what they do is good. I would like to see a little bit more variety and I would like to see lunch served earlier in the day. It is definitely in my rotation of places to grab something to eat on my way out of Kansas City on an early morning flight

    Nashville hot

    I was wondering why the sauces and burgers were called Shaq - I didn't know he owned a burger joint? Kansas City airport doesn't have a ton of food options and big chicken had a line so I figured it was as worth a try. Burger was around $14 and came out fairly quick, good if you're in a rush. I got the Nashville hot - extra hot, and it didn't taste spicy at all.. their Shaq sauce is basically a thick creamy mayo, which tasted a bit sweet. Can't say I had high expectations for airport food, but this was a little disappointing.

    Located in the airport i don't know what to expect. It is brightly lit. The service was fast and friendly. The chicken sandwich was decent. You can taste the pepper in the seasoning. The fries were a large portion. They were crinkle cut and crispy. I needed something to eat. It was good.

    I had about an hour until my flight, so I figured I would find a nice goldilocks of a meal- not too big, not too small. Right next to my gate was a Big Chicken. Upon a quick Google search I learned it's Shaqs chicken establishment. I asked the lady at the register what he favorite thing to get was, and she said the superman sandwich. I took her advice and ordered it. That sandwich was so damn good! Chicken could have been a fatter breast, but it really was the perfect option for a travel day! This sandwich was fried chicken, Swiss cheese, smashed avocado, and ranch on a brioche bun. It was delicious! And it made me feel healthy with the avocado on it, even though I know it was NOT healthy! If there were a Big Chicken nearby, I would definitely be going back! Alas, there is no big chicken in my town.

    I probably should've checked the yelp rating for this place before coming. I got the Shaq sandwich which was alright but nothing special. I know airport food is usually pricey and not great quality, but I guess I just hoped it would be a bit better tasting. The chicken patty was a pretty flat. The menu said it should be a bit spicy but honestly it was more sweet than spicy.

    In the storied enclave of Waldo, where the rhythm of Kansas City pulses with a quiet, neighborly…read morecharm, there stands a sanctuary not of silent stone, but of flour, butter, and memory: McLain's Bakery. To step through its threshold is to surrender to the siren song of warmth that curls from the oven like a whispered secret. I have made it my pilgrimage to traverse the entirety of their menu, a culinary odyssey that has yielded no false steps, only a symphony of consistency that borders on the miraculous. Each offering, from the flaky, golden architecture of their pastries to the robust, honest comfort of their savory fare, is a testament to the artisan's hand. Here, affordability is not a sacrifice of quality but a generous invitation, a rare confluence where the exquisite meets the accessible. There is a certain magic in the air at McLain's, a sweetness that feels woven into the very fabric of the establishment. It is a place that understands the language of comfort, speaking it fluently in the dialect of a perfect crust or the rich, dark notes of a expertly pulled espresso. It is perhaps no surprise that such a bastion of authentic delight has garnered a reputation that extends far beyond our local borders; if the standard of excellence is high enough to grace the plate of Taylor Swift, then surely, it is more than enough for us, the grateful residents who claim this treasure as our own. Yet, beyond the flour-dusted counters and the glowing glass cases, my deepest admiration is reserved for their spirit. In a world that often measures worth in cold, transactional metrics, McLain's chooses to honor those who pour themselves into the future of our community. As a teacher, I feel that recognition in the small gestures, the welcoming nods, and the genuine appreciation they extend to educators. It is a profound kindness, a recognition that the work of shaping minds requires nourishment, both intellectual and literal. They understand that a classroom is a marathon, and they act as the essential pit stop, providing the fuel that keeps the light of inquiry burning bright. To dine at McLain's is to participate in a ritual of belonging. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the turning of the oven trays. It is a reliable heartbeat in the neighborhood, steadfast and true, offering a reprieve from the clamor of the outside world. Whether one seeks a quiet moment of reflection over a cup of coffee or a celebratory feast that honors the simple, profound joy of eating well, McLain's remains an unrivaled steward of taste. It is not merely a bakery; it is the living, breathing soul of Waldo, a place where every bite serves as a reminder that some things in this life are exactly as good as they ought to be.

Seating might be full, but there's both counter seating in the open concept kitchen or tables on the other side. A lot of people rave about their breakfast burritos or breakfast biscuit sandwiches. My out of town guests love them too when I bring them here. I'm here to rave about their weekend only croissants. You can only get them on Saturday or Sunday because it takes a days to ferment and laminate the dough. The quality of their ingredients shines in even the simplest plain croissant. I'll occasionally venture into the chocolate or almond version. They rival some of the best I've had in NYC, SF or Paris. In KC, the only other rivals can be found at French Market or Sour Rabbit Bakery. I'm glad their croissants are weekend only so I can have them as an occasional treat. I find their other pastries, especially the tarts, biscuits or scones are also lovely. For a baked goods focused spot, I'd say their cold brew is also pretty great quality as well. Usually I'd go to another coffee shop for a fix, but I'm okay grabbing both a croissant and cold brew here. I haven't been for their "after hours" dinner specials, but that's next on my to do list there!
