We stumbled upon this place after trying to go somewhere else but realizing it was closed due to some problem. Honestly, I didn't see the reviews until after our meal and I was a bit surprised. After reading the other reviews, it seems like the main complaints here are that 1) the chicken is dry or it doesn't measure up to other Peruvian chicken places and 2) there have been a few instances of bill totals being incorrect and the intention of these mistakes were questioned by the reviewer.
I don't really have experience with other Peruvian chicken places in the area, but I thought the chicken was great! I liked the plantains also, and the sandwich was super tasty. There was a light mustard and just a little bit of cheese with lettuce and tomato, and it honestly hit the spot. This is a random detail, but they have a really good selection of unusual drinks in their soda case, so if you're adventurous with sugary drinks, you'll appreciate Big Chicken.
As for the bill, I thought ours was correct. If you have any doubts, I'd say just make sure to double check your order and be very clear and direct with whoever is serving you and you should be fine. The people who helped us were friendly, and I even got to taste some juice that they make which was great.
Overall, I think people probably have a bad impression of this place because of a few miscommunications and also it's kind of a hole in the wall kind of place--it's unusual that they have pool tables and a casino like environment. It's also kind of dark. But I thought the food was wonderful and I'd for sure go back if I were looking for something quick to eat! -

The food was just regular chicken nothing special it was cooked well not overcooked not dry but just not special. They have a sun roof yet keeps the lights on for some reason. And have a menu stand even though you are suppose to order at the front, those two are just quality of life stuff but it's just mediocre food.

I read the bad reviews but I had a craving for Peruvian Chicken and it was the closest place by far. So I rolled the dice and was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered one whole chicken, and they didn't have any ready, so I had to wait about 5 minutes. I also had an order of Plantains. The Plantains were okay. But the chicken was excellent.
Very pleased. -

The "specials" they have are very deceiving he won't tell you about the "extra" charges until you are already paying.... and the food is not all that

Not good as far a peruvian chicken places go. The main attraction (THE CHICKEN) Was VERY dry. Not only was the "roasted" chicken dry as hell but the chicken on my wife's caesar salad was too. I picked up a piece of the sliced chicken in the salad and the side view showed the TOP 1/8 inch of the meat was yellow (hence VERY dried out).
The coleslaw was sugery SWEEEEEEEET.
Salad dressing on the side please - HELL NO LET ME PUT IT ON THE DAMN SALAD FOR YOU.
Big Chicken thanks but NO THANKS I'M GOOD!
And for the rest of you foodies, my opinion is steer clear.
