The food options and India on tap are two very good reasons for checking this place out. The bar staff and servers are also very quick to get you your order and go above the normal to make your time out a good one, from start to finish.

The only downside is the limited parking, this place can get extremely busy but it usually doesn't overly impact the restaurant itself in terms of a wait time or service speed.

Out of the two Bigs restaurants in the city, this is the go-to for sure. The mozza sticks, veggie nachos, Mexican dip, and spinach salad are all great options!

We have found a great last minute date night spot! Ample parking, friendly staff, cozy booths and the best playlist! We absolutely love the rice bowl and an ice cold beer on tap!! Never disappoints.

If there are better wings in the city, let me know!

My first time and I was impressed. Visited on a Sunday. Lots of football on.

The wings were amazing. I had hot + honey. I've been craving them since.

💯 Best Sports Grill With Halal Wings! 🍗

We regularly eat from Biggs Ultimate and everytime we dine in or takeout, the service and the food is perfect every time! 👌 Food is well portioned, cooked well, accompanied with its respective sauces, well priced, all with excellent customer service. 👏

On this night we dined in and the atmosphere was pleasant on the eyes, grill was well kept and very clean. Our hostess, Taya was so welcoming and very entertaining 😁 she was very quick with our order and often checked on us to ensure all was great. Her customer service is excellent! 🙏

We started with the Bruschetta which was absolutely delicious, and then we got the Pizza N'Pound deal with pizza and wings 😋 food was absolutely delicious! We would have gone for desert but we were so stuffed by the end 🍰

Biggs Ultimate is the big deal, we always eat here thanks to its quality and consistency, as well as the warm and welcoming staff! 😁 We cannot wait for the next date night to dine in and satiate ourselves 😋

A shell of its former self. I used to really like coming here with friends but over the years, we've found that the service is unbelievably inconsistent. We used to come each year for our fantasy hockey draft, but we've grown tired of being disappointed by The Bigs. Food is okay, nothing special.

The only thing keeping this place from being a complete disappointment was the service — the staff were friendly and attentive, and that’s the best I can say about our visit. Unfortunately, everything else fell flat.

I ordered the flatbread pepperoni pizza, and my girlfriend had the chicken bites with a side of kettle chips. The pizza was borderline frozen-oven quality — maybe slightly below. The crust was dry and the toppings felt like an afterthought. Nothing about it felt fresh or well-made.

The chicken bites were essentially a breaded chicken breast chopped into chunks and deep fried. They had no real flavor and were served — oddly — on a bed of tortilla chips, which didn’t make any sense and didn’t add anything to the dish. As for the kettle chips, we paid $10 for them and couldn’t eat most of them. They were barely cooked — squishy, greasy, and wet in the middle. Tasted like they threw too many in the fryer at once and didn’t bother checking them. Absolutely disgusting.

To top it off, we went during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals — a huge game — and only two TVs were playing it. The rest were showing a Yankees vs. Royals baseball game that nobody was watching, and they never changed the channels. The audio was also way too loud, drowning out conversation and making the atmosphere unpleasant. And to make things worse, the place reeked of cigarette smoke.

This just isn’t it. You can go almost anywhere else in town and get better food, a better game-day setup, and a cleaner, more comfortable atmosphere. Honestly, even The Rec Room in Avalon Mall offers a much better viewing experience. The bar is pretty low here — literally and figuratively.

I wouldn’t recommend The Bigs.
