    Brought our kids for lunch after baseball, after they had been begging to go since it opened. Fun greeting right when we walked in, all staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, and food was great as always! Definitely happy to have this location so close to home.

    Nice, new addition to Tacoma. We ordered the original chicken sandwich, mac-n-cheese, Cobb salad and fries along with 2 drinks about 40.00 with tip. Everything was quite good but the portions are very small. Much cheaper than superchix but also alot less food. The staff was very friendly and our food was prepared quickly, although they were not busy all. We will go back soon.

    We were enthusiastically greeted as soon as we walked in. The food was fantastic! The chicken was like real chicken filets and not formed patties. Perfectly crispy and saucy chicken, and the bun was perfection. Fries were some of the best of all the fast food restaurants. Maybe even better than McD's!! The woman taking our order was charming and seemed happy to be there. Our order was brought to our table very quickly, despite the line out the door. Prices were a little lower than expected and the food was better than expected. The food is very high quality, but the environment is very casual, so the prices are closer to fast food. The pineapple cream soda is a new favorite. I wasn't going to even try it, but one of the workers said it is the most delicious thing ever and yes, it might be. I'm excited that Big Chicken is in the neighborhood and I'll be there often!
