Too spicy; no offer of a milder seasoning. Adding $1.00 to the cost for frying the chicken seems silly-just make the chicken one price. Slaw was put in same container as hot chicken, so was warm and wilted. Included sauces were not to our liking. Jojos were good, but not exceptional. Paid over $23 for one meal, and to us that was expensive. Service very friendly; chicken tender and juicy; atmosphere casual and easy-going. On street parking available.

This place is really tasty! If you like fried chicken, this is a place you have to try! I love how unapologetically herbacious and spicy the chicken is by default, and you feel FULL after just eating half a bird (I seriously can't eat a full one unless I was practically starving to death). The only knit pick I have is that the food is a little pricey, but then again, why should I care? If something is so well made, I can't complain that much. 😆

I love this place and will give it five stars for every other time I have had it delivered but I finally came to the shop myself for pick up (7-25-2025) and was very disappointed. Everything was so flavorless and extremely hot! Great dirty rice is hard to find here in Portland but Bigs has always delivered! Not last night though where it was all heat and no flavor, same with the gravy. My fried thighs were not hot (thankfully) but they were tossed in a breading that had no spices...
