    My fam loves getting the family meal for 19.80$ its a whole chicken, rice, refried beans & tortillas. Its enough for us 4. The chicken is our favorite, tasty charbroiled chicken :) my mom lovesss the beans. For the price its really great, I just wish inside they had stronger ac bc it can get kinda hot. Service is pretty fast. They also have agua frescas which are good.

    Dropped in for an after gym lunch. Restaurant was very clean & staff was friendly and quick to attend to me. I had a chicken quesadilla with beans and rice that was very good. Highly Recommended!!!!!!

    Hidden gem alert! I first discovered this spot after an early morning workout at EOS Russell. Arriving at my car, I'm smelling BBQ at 845am! Follow your nose to billowing smoke from the outdoor wood fire grill obscured by an automotive garage. Located at the corner of Pecos and Russell, they open at 9am so I waited until they opened. Fresh! Fresh, never frozen grilled whole chicken. Great seasoning, hot, moist, never dry, meaty tender goodness, oh my goodness! They do have Carne Asada and Baby Back ribs too. This review is just about their namesake but the ribs, also cooked on the outdoor grill, look very good. There is a refrigerated salsa bar with three fantastic condiments consisting of a pico de galloesqe chunky salsa with a perfect 6 of 10 spice, a chipotle like sauce with a 5-6 spice factor and a delicious tomatillos sauce with a 4-5 spice range. On Wednesday they have a 12 piece for $12 for all you Ketogenic folks. All healthy, all natural, highly recommended.

    very dry, flavorless chicken but excellent sides

    I really really wanted to love this chicken but I just don't. We opted for takeout and got a the whole chicken which comes with tortillas, beans and rice. The chicken was a huge let down. While the charbroiling was great, the meat was dry (even on the dark meat sections) and it was pretty flavorless. That being said the sides were fantastic. Probably the best beans I've had a from a fast service place in a while. The rice was really good and the salsas were amazing. I'm glad this was true because I had to douse the chicken in salsa to help with the dryness. I'm not saying I wouldn't try this pace again. The sides were good enough that maybe this could have been a one of. Def give it a try and I hope when you go (and the next time I do) the chicken will be better.

    Chicken burrito with cheese
    Armen G.

    I came here because I was really hungry and needed food that was not from a fast food chain. This isn't the first time I've came here so I'll go ahead and provide my thoughts on this place. 1: Aroma- They grill their chicken outside. The aroma of the chicken will make u want to order chicken even if you came for something else like Asada, pastor, etc. 2: Customer service- CS here is not the best. The employees here don't really like to engage with customers regardless of how nice u may be with them. But it is always someone different at the counter yet the same experience. 3: Food- I ordered a chicken burrito with no onions and cheese(extra $1.00) and my order felt it was completely wrong. There were onions in the burrito.. I'm not sure if that meat was chicken or not but when I was picking it out it seemed to have another meat inside that was not chicken.. the burritos don't have a lot of meat in them.. they stuff them with beans, rice, and sour cream and very little meat. They didn't add cheese and if they did it was very little.. and they added onions after I said no onions. Overall- I would come back and would prefer this spot over say, a el pollo loco or Taco Bell. But it is not a place that I would recommend for people to visit as say a "top place for Mexican cuisine or a must visit". The horchata drink wasn't bad however. A little sweet but good flavor. Thanks again!

    Bbq rotisserie chicken at it's best, daily during lunch time. Fresh and delicious. Prices are on point and they deliver delicious bbq chicken with fresh sides. This place has fast and friendly service with a clean restaurant to eat at. It tastes as good as it smells. Thank you, I was totally satisfied.

    4/5 place is mid, I'd go back but not in a rush. Wish they had better sides and flavored chicken.

    5/5 This special absolutely delivered!…read more The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The sauces paired perfectly and gave every bite an extra kick. The patriotic red, white, and blue dessert shot was a fun, festive touch--not only did it look amazing, but it tasted great too. The presentation was clean and creative, making it perfect for the holiday. Great food, great value, and a fun way to celebrate Independence Day. If you're looking for a festive bite this weekend, this special is definitely worth trying! Highly recommend--I'll be back for it again!

    As a California girl, I had to give the Big Cali sandwich a try when I visited Big Chicken. I also…read moreordered the 3-piece chicken tenders with the Memphis BBQ sauce, you only get one sauce for three chicken tenders. You can get more for an additional charge. The good news: the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, not dry. But let me say this it was plain chicken NO FLAVOR! The employee who took my order was friendly customer service was good. Now for the not-so-good news. Again the chicken lol! It wasn't bad it just wasn't seasoned enough to get me excited. The Memphis BBQ sauce did some heavy lifting, but I was hoping for more flavor from the chicken itself. As for the Big Cali it was meh also, I asked for the bacon on the side. Let's just say the bacon and I were not a match made in heaven. It reminded me of fast-food bacon I've passed on before, and it quickly found its way to the trash. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible, but it wasn't memorable for the food either. The staff was great, the outdoor seating and the bar setup perf, but the flavors never really showed up to the party. Unfortunately, I don't see myself making a return trip.
