This was good. Everything is fresh and made to order. The fish was good, but we will go with the bone in next time (whole piece catfish). We are used to Joe Tess' and Catfish Lake, so this crunchy coating was nice! The coleslaw is on point and those fries! Crispy, hot and fluffy! All they need is some malt vinegar (which they do not have!) The beignets are some of the best we have had in the area! Crispy and airy. Perfectly done! Let me tell you about the service! That is truly what elevates BigWay! Our gal took the orders at the counter, took care of the Dining room, checked in on us, refilled cooler items and kept moving the entire time we were there, all with an infectious smile. We went in on Sunday after church! It wasn't crazy busy, but we got right around noon. We will go back for sure! read more

I've been here a couple of times and have never been disappointed. I love their fresh cooked gizzards and the chicken rice bowl. You get a ton of food for a good price, and I'll always end up having a ton of leftovers. The gizzards have never been overcooked, and the ranch, chicken bowl is loaded with cheese, ranch and meat. read more

Awesome!! Flat out awesome! I love independently owned restaurants! There's care and love put into every dish and that's what you will find here. You order your food at a counter and then seat yourself. The Restaurant is inviting, brick walls and decorated in a classic way! Lots of fried options as you can imagine. I wanted to try as much of the menu as possible but opted for the catfish basket. The breading was crispy and the catfish was tender and perfectly cooked. Of course we also had the fried okra which was a nice side that we often don't get to order most other places! Bigway is winning in a Big Way!! read more

Hot and fresh fish. I recommend not coming here if you're in a rush or try ordering a head of time because they make you food fresh per order and that takes some time. I ordered the catfish fillets and fries. The only con is that I wished it was a bit more seasoned. I 7/10 recommend read more

Wanted to check this place out after seeing good reviews while in the area. You might miss it if you don't use your map, it's in a strip mall area behind a bank. It Definitely didn't disappoint! Surprisingly catfish is their speciality, given their name is chicken. It's one of the few, real southern cornbread battered catfish places I've seen in the Omaha area. Their fries are the thick, Louisiana style southern fries that go great with fried catfish. Or if you want tots, they have those too! All in all, I thought the food was flavorful, filling, and just the right amount of crispy! read more

Owner served me old food just redipped it in the grease. I called him out on this and he wouldn't give me a refund or a partial one. Look at the fries... and those blacked little rocks are supposed to be wings it wouldn't be bad if this didn't cost me $26 bucks. read more

I've been there twice now. The place is pretty simple, and smallish. The catfish is good, but could use more spice (I used a lot of hot sauce). Fries are great. I don't like that the cups and utensils are all paper and plastic and are thrown out with every meal. read more

We usually like to each try something different when we eat somewhere new, but today we all three had the catfish. Boy was that the right choice, as we all ate every drop and declared it the best catfish we had had in many, many years, if ever! The fish was lightly breaded in the most perfect, crispy cornmeal crust. Beautifully moist, perfectly cook, and as tender as warm butter! Tots were super tasty and so was the slaw! This has set a standard for us all when it comes to catfish! So happy Yelp has led us to yet another fantastic find. We're sure to return next time we pass through read more

Spotted this place on the way to an appointment. We had no idea what it was. It's a bit tucked away off of L street. Decided to give it a shot on the way home for lunch. It's not a large menu. They tend to stick to the stuff they do well and oh boy, do they do some things well. I got the chicken tenders and fries and my fiancé got the Ranch Chicken Rice Bowl. We discussed getting some beignets and finally decided to go for the extra calories. The chicken tenders had good flavoring and were a decent size for the price. The fries you could tell were hand battered and they were fantastic. My fiancé enjoyed the rice bowl and said it was cheesy and had lots of good flavors. It was the beignets that stole the show for me. I'm not a sweets person generally, but these were so dang good. Light and fluffy and just the right amount of a warm and doughy inside. They are the type of food you close your eyes and just savor each bite. We will definitely be back sometime soon so I can try the catfish. Definitely an excellent place for lunch. read more

I am so glad I stopped by to try this. The place was dead and honestly I didn't know if they were open - the OPEN sign was flashing but when it is dark the shade they have on the window is so dark that it looks closed inside. I trusted the sign. Now I was a big fan of the Buffalo Co. and so sad when they close the previous restaurant didn't excite me and this one has the same feel. I was greeted by the woman running the cashier and the chef. The menu is small but it all looks good. I am surprised they call themselves ...and ice cream but I really didn't see any ice cream or feel that it was obvious on the menu that this is a main focus of this place. I went with the parmigiana chicken and I am so happy I did. I loved it. It's almost like they encased the sauce in the cheese so it wasn't a sloppy sandwich and the food tasted amazing. They even threw in a free beignet for me to try and it was tasty, but I would have to look more into those - bite size and good but I always had them with a filling of some sort so it was a little dry to me. I will be back, in fact today while driving to work, my mouth was watering for another sandwich. read more

Was passing through on our way to a family event and saw a few reviews for this place and decided to drop in for a late lunch and add it to our list of foodie reviews. This place is tucked in behind the Wells Fargo and next to Romeo's Mexican Restaurant near 96th and L. We took the whole foodie family to try evaluate the whole menu. A relatively small eatery with a limited menu. We ordered the blue cheese chicken sandwich, Buffalo chicken sandwich, Parmesan chicken sandwich, chicken fingers, tots, fries and the beignets. Counter service helpful and friendly. Overall the food was not great but okay. Tots were better than the fries. We expected blue cheese on the blue cheese sandwich, it was more of a blue cheese dressing drizzle. Buffalo chicken was decent, Buffalo flavor was decent but we prefer a stronger spicier Buffalo sauce. Chicken Parmesan was the best of the three. It was simple. The kids loved their chicken fingers and fries. Our combined score and disappointment was that the chicken sandwiches appeared to be chicken patties and not chicken breasts. Beignets were average, nothing fancy and a bit over priced. Take it for what it's worth, we are biased as our beignet standards are from New Orleans. We know most businesses must balance between quality ingredients and price, but we believe that this eatery is a bit heavy on price with lower emphasis on quality. +$70 for lunch for a family of 5. read more

First time and the only time! I would not go back nor will I recommend it! I'm sorry but this was the worst experience ever. The fish was tasteless and over cook. I order the carp dinner terrible.....But the strawberry soda was good. read more

I recently had lunch with a few friends getting takeout at Bigway chicken, and I thought it was pretty good and deserved a review. They have a smaller menu, which doesn't bother me, I don't mind when places focus on what they do well and keep it simple. They offer chicken strips, sandwiches, fish, fries, a few specials and beignets. The chicken was tasty and cooked nicely, not too heavy or greasy. The fries were very good, and so were the sandwiches. Special mention to the beignets, they are very tasty, dusted with powdered sugar and either chocolate or caramel dipping sauce. Nice little place with friendly people and easy to get to. read more

What a friendly staff. Some people came in behind us and were welcomed as if they were regulars. We bought a Groupon so we fixated on two burgers, but the young lady taking our order had us eating beignets and fried pickles with it. The pickles were spicy. The beignets memorable with Carmel or chocolate sauce. The burgers were delicious and the tater tots were good flair. We left full! The prices are not bad at all. Worth a try and a repeat visit. read more

Not much variety here. How many ways can you fry catfish? They also serve carp. Hope it doesn't come from the Missouri. They have wings and gizzards. The gizzards are over cooked and tough. Too bad. They could star. Not everyone knows how to cook them. However, this place has a surprise for diners familiar with Cajun food. They have beignets and they are very good. If you like catfish and want to try beignets, this is your place. read more

The term "hidden gem" does not do this place justice. First, we were greeted by a lady named Kylie. I've worked in customer service for years, and I've never seen such a stellar example of customer service in my life. She was sociable, patient, and truly so kind! My friends and I were very impressed. Great interactions like this truly stick with people, and we have a few reasons to adore this spot now!! Next, THE FOOD! You guys, the fried green beans are the eighth wonder of the world. We also LOVED the fried pickles, the patty melt, the fries, the salad, and the chicken strips! On top of that, they had daily specials that are worth coming back often for. The food came out so fast and the decor is cute and cozy! I love this place and truly don't have enough good things to say about it. This was my first time but definitely will not be my last! This family owned spot is worth your money AND THEN SOME. read more

The catfish is OK, kinda bland. It is like a Shore Lunch breading, lots of cornmeal. It can only be as good as the grease, and that is where my first visit and impression of this place was not good. Tots are better than the fries, but again the grease was old and gross. They have good ice! Two adults and a 7 year old cost $40 no way it was worth that. I know it is only $0.50 but if you are going to charge extra for tarter sauce and hot sauce, it better be home made, that was absolutely pitiful to see on the receipt! The lady who took our order was rather rude as well. Not in any hurry to return here read more

Pros: Staff was friendly and courteous Food is made fresh (so there is a wait) Cons: Catfish is VERY thin, added hot sauce to give more flavor Overall: Not awful, not amazing read more

Best chicken sandwich in Omaha, hands down. The one thing I have learned is that you need to add some spice to your chicken sandwich, it makes the flavor so much better. read more

I ordered from here several times during the pandemic via GrubHub and really enjoyed food. I had ordered the catfish one time, and ordered that Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl several other times which I wasn't sure if it would have a good flavor profile based on it's ingredients, but it turned out fantastic every time. I can't comment on the inside of the establishment or the staff since I've never met them, but the food is pretty good. I really should drop in for an actual visit one of these days. read more

Yes, this is the place for chicken. The beignets alone are worth the trip. Tenders were very good and the catfish was excellent. Very friendly staff, clean shop and great service. A little skimpy on the fries but still a great meal. read more

Really good catfish and the chicken was also good. What I really liked was the beignets. They were so warm, crispy on the outside and soft inside. ALMOST didn't rate 5 stars because it seemed to take a while to get our food and they were not "busy" yet, but I also understand EVERYONE is short-staffed these days. If you have not been there, you gotta try it read more

Always happy with my meals. Love the catfish! Deep fried items are not too greasy, just great taste. My problem has been both my last two orders I ordered hot sauce and Tarter sauce (for an extra charge), and when I got the order inside and went through it, it wasn't included. A little irritating. read more

Wow! First time here but will be back! I had the special - BBQ bacon chicken sandwich with fries. It was so flavorful! I hope they put it on the regular menu. The fries have a nice crispy coating. My spouse has the catfish and convinced me to try a bite. I don't like catfish or cornmeal breading BUT this was delicious! Even I liked it! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Great local spot for all things chicken. Recently stopped here for lunch for the first time an was planning on trying one if their chicken sandwiches an ended up ordering the chicken teriyaki rice bowl an added black beans an mushrooms. It's definitely not your usual teriyaki sauce; its almost like a garlic teriyaki glaze but it works really well an flavor is on point. Beans an shrooms were definitely a good add but would probably eliminate the lettuce next time. Chicken tho was bomb an had an extra nice sear on it. Could've used a cold brew so hope they get their liquor license at some point especially since they have wings too. But and I mean a huge but!!!!!! I officially just tasted the best beignets I've ever had; I'm talking life changing game changer here. These bad boys melt right in your mouth and are absolutely decadent. These alone are reason to come back. Atmosphere was meh but clean. It was that weird quiet w the office playing on tv. Recommend getting some tunes instead to create a better vibe but all in all this place is great. read more

During this coronavirus chaos, I am trying to support local restaurants. My two cents on this restaurant: The burger was good, fried pickles and chocolate covered beignets were amazing! Seriously, I don't usually have a sweet tooth, but those things are like crack. And extremely fair pricing. Go out and pick up some of your own delicious food today! read more

The fried catfish was fresh, piping hot, and delicious! Tartar sauce was decent. Fries were good.

If you're expecting a Popeyes or Chic-fil-a chicken sandwich, rethink what you'll be getting. Their chicken sandwich is on a better bun, they have lettuce, American cheese, mayo, and pickle. Its more a burger set up, but replace the burger with a well sauced, juicy, tender chicken breast. I got the Buffalo chicken standard and was very happy with my choice. It came with fries which outside one other place, would be some of the best quick serve non-hand cut fries I have had in Omaha area. Their ranch was thick which provided the perfect fit for the meal. Service was very friendly and helpful. It was quiet in there during lunch time, people were coming and going with to-go orders. I look forward to coming back to try the catfish and beignets for my next visit.
