Reviews of Big John's City

A. A.

This is a great eatery! It's nice, very clean and tidy (thanks to their sanitary operative, Raynata) and also very spacious. I've got a Big John's just a couple of meters away from my residence but I jump on the bus to town to treat myself to some great fast food. I particularly like their grilled spicy peri peri chicken (my favourite 😋). Do check it out whenever you're around town and need to relax and enjoy great fast food.

P. B.

Lovely tasting pizza, 3 toppings and four slices for £2.99p. Great value and quality was excellent. Ham, mushroom and pepperoni.....

S. G.

When I go into a decent size eating place with plenty of seating. I don't want to use plastic knife and fork to eat my meal. Even though, there's plenty of bench seating here. Theres posts in the way. So my group of 5 people cramed onto a table for 4. The food food was good, but drink sizes were tiny. Reasonably priced meal though.

A.

Good cheap food... 3 star isn't for any particular reason other than it is what it is, it's cheap, quick and tasty... You know what your getting.... It isn't quality food by any stretch but always tastes good... Better chippys in the near vicinity but big johns is always good for a cheap lunch.

i. d.

This used to be an amazing place to go of a night, really busy with a varied and lively clientele, some of whom were actually buying and eating food. This time it was very quiet and I got the feeling that the chicken I was eating had already had an illustrious career in the egg laying industry before being boiled and then fried in breadcrumbs. Omg. and I had to pay 50p for mayo... in Big John's!!.. seriously.

K. O. G.

Good place to go while out and about in town. Fresh and fast had a cracking buy 1 get 1 free deal on fish and chips

M. A.

Food is okay and better than most branches but pizza is not spicy and very frugal with the toppings which are small.

N. V.

Food was okay, the sauces amazing and the staff really friendly.

A. R.

Staff were friendly. Clean and tidy. Food was fresh and tasty reasinol price. Servise was good. Hope to visit again

O. S.

Clean place, nice chicken as well, except for one time I had a bad smelly chicken. I would have rated 5 stars. But it's forgivable.

k. m.

Excellent service with a smile...food was ok for a fast food joint.

s. a.

They charge too much for sauces. Used to free but now they charge 50 pence for each sauce.

A. A.

I enjoyed my chicken and chips! It was really good

J. S.

Good value for volume of food but would have preferred less but better quality.

I. k. T.

Good price but food kinda dry and overcooked like it's been sitting under the heater for a while

A. M.

Good service.... great food... I mean u cant beat their chips.... also I recommend the donner burger... delicious 😍

D. H.

Very cheap and cheerful, with great fast food, served hot. You won't be disappointed if you stop by to grab a quick snack or lunch. Very affordable but good honest food with great choices available.

S. A.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. The food was delicious and the portions are great. I will be back every time I'm REALLY hungry. The only thing they can improve on is their sauces. More mayo!

A. S.

just a standard takeaway meal nothing too nice

K. C.

Fish & chips were quite nice.

N. K.

Food is great and prices are reasonable, just a bit cold to sit and eat

V. S.

The food is good but the service is slow and the staff act like they don’t wanna be there

L. C.

The food is not the best but if your in a rush and you not felling the McDonald's there could be your second option. Quick service

B. H.

Very nice place, staff are nice and fast service. Also very good for price with great quality.

a. r.

The food was great the staff fantastic that means it was super smashing great

N. G.

A chip shop that doesnt sell battered sausage? Looked unclean and in this time of Covid-19 youd think that satchets of vinegar would still be available instead of using one bottle? Useless option for take away

A. B.

Fast and efficient service. Good food. And value.

s. s.

Came Saturday, great service, lady recommended the chicken bucket, and chips for 4 of us, instead of buying separate, saved us money, great value, Nice and clean, nice vibe.

H. O.

The food was nice but the lady was chewing gum which did not bother me much but I don't think she's supposed to.

Z.

Come here literally everyday, mainly fresh! Food always tastes good. Need some English speaker workers and staff sometimes can’t even understand what you’re saying let alone even being able to respond back English.

T. M.

Slow paced staff food is good but not always

J. P.

Poor food, nice interior.

A. B.

Food it's good, low prices, fast serving... Like it

Quick and efficient service. Friendly staff. A good hang out. Delicious pizza after a long journey back from gran canaria.

L. S.

great value for money, love their chips.... great after a night out and for students. the staff are sometimes on their phones but that is only when they've got nothing to do.

A. L.

Best burgers. Don't rate their chips u wud think they took em out the bin and were a week old before giving u.

S. T.

Nice food but customer service could be worked on.

F. D.

Good food and good value- store is clean and staff are well presented and knowledgeable of the menu. Food comes in a reasonably quick time and table service is offered for larger groups.

G. G.

nice place for grilled chicken & pizzas. also prices are reasonable. i always go there when im in town. recommended!

E. M.

Cheap, good portions. Full and a bit dirty inside. Horrible free sauces, nasty toilets.

I. k.

The best place to get food if u are shopping in bullring....the food is good and the price is right.....

T. G.

Food is great one day, come back next week not soo good. Consistency is poor quality of food is low. Certain staff need to improve customer service skills. As the cleaners have a lot more manners.

M. B. H.

T. F.

Cheap and quick. Tastes good if ur in the mood

S. S.

Slow service but food is fresh as it's always busy.

I. “. R.

Hands down the best fried chicken I've had and the chips are absolutely 😍💯. A big recommendation to anyone who has never went

J. M.

Fast food store. Cheap, big servings, decent quality given the price. Staff a bit unfriendly.

S. P. C.

Popped in with friends. Nice, clean. Pleasant staff. Good Service. These guys bring food out for #homeless people too. Chicken or pizza and Chips on Sundays around 5.30pm @Albert St

A. K.

Quick food well priced, great quality

C. C.

Staff have always been friendly whenever I've been in, even when it's busy as hell, the food is of a reasonably great quality (considering the price), a few times the drinks have tasted of nothing but carbonated water but they've always changed the drink for me and apologised, the only downside is that unfortunately the area seems to draw in a bad crowd (as I've seen fights break out inside and just outside of the place) that aside, great place

V. B.

Nice food, small portion size for the price.

S. M.

Nice food do get some riff raff in there

R. g.

It is an awesome restaurant with loads of variety and quality food.

D. O.

Pizza like none..my conclusion

S. S.

Best takeaway pizza I've had in a while. Select your toppings, 5 mins later you're eating it. Not to greasy either! They do a lot more but can't vouch for it, will update if I do. ✌️

M. V.

Good deals for meals. Tasty too.

D. A.

Clean friendly staff foods ok to

M. J.

First of all that restaurant services all halal food with such a tasty and clean food. The service is very fast no matter how busy the place is, you will still get your order faster than you think. Wheelchairs can access the place easily too. Families can go there too as they have big tables. They also have toilets for everyone to use. I really suggest you to try this restaurant out.

A. M.

Got 20 incher. Well cooked proper taste of pizza that fills the stomach. Perfect for a day out.

I. W.

Reasonable food at a reasonable price. Bit grubby in places.

S. S.

Try their whole peri peri chicken

M. M.

Quick to take your order but then takes a long time to get your food even if your the only person there

V. l.

The chips weren't bad but the service was dire. Don't expect a happy greeting.

R. M.

Its ok for price and convenience but not the best taste wise

J. G.

Good value for a quick hot lunch.

D. M.

It was good but the order took way longer than expected and I was given the wrong food at first. The pepperoni topping on pizza is shameful but the price is okay for the size/taste.

K. A.

Cheapest takeaway of it's kind in Birmingham City Centre. Good quality food too. Been coming here for the last 5 years and the food has been consistent throughout.

N. M.

Great place to sit down for a quick meal

H. B.

Food was quick . Hot and fair quality

A. D. H.

Food OK customer service could be better

R. T.

Love the hot wings. Pizza could taste a little better

L. B.

Place was clean and food was pretty fast.

B. L.

Good customer service. Cheep food. Good quality. Toilet avaliable.

z. M.

Open space good food

S. B.

Food is OK, price is OK, service could be quicker and they do need to sand down and revarnish the wooden tables. Unfortunately many of the customers should probably not be allowed out in public without proper supervision (but that could be said for a lot of places).

R. H.

Good customer service and enough chairs and tables. Cleaned environment.

r. m.

Tasty food with good price

S. G.

Great food and amazing prices. We always dine at Big John's every time we visit Birmingham, which is regular.

Z. A.

I really enjoyed coming to bigjohns every night after work and there are very nice staff and friendly people. Xx

a. v.

Great food ,fast service !

A. H.

always very busy but good price food

b. w.

Quick and fast reasonable price food

S. J.

Cheap and half decent food. Does traditional style chip shop chips to. Pizza slice and chips £1:50 can't grumble at that price.

M. C.

Nothing fancy, and not for the faint of heart after nightfall, but the food itself is very good and very cheap so you can't really have any complaints

P. M.

Cheap and fair quality good service

E. S.

Good prices and tasty food

T. J.

Very reasonable price, suitable for students as well as families, halal food, good hygiene and a great variety of food, very good customer service.

M. C.

Nice and clean good food. The wings weren't spicy and a bit expensive

R. W.

Cheap, but good value. End of night easy place.

i. d.

I would give 3 stars to big johns for the wings and chips, best and cheap, 100% worth it

F. S.

Excellent customer service skills by the staff at Big Jhons

b. l.

food is always fresh and delicious 👌👌

J. S.

Not bad tbh the chips in the was appointed damn good large for £2 is not bad cmon

M. G.

The food is delicious and with good portion and great price, but dont be surprised if you spend the next morning in the toilet. The management need to find a solution with the homeless always sitting infront of the store. As much as I feel bad for them but it's annoying when every few mins they go begging inside. It doesnt feel right when I am trying to enjoy my meal and someone comes asking me for food/money. It always happen only here compared to other fast food chains nearby.

T. K.

It's ok but I dont est much from there

K. J. T.

Great staff and great food

J. M.

Pizza is greasy, sometimes dry, nice chicken and great staff

A. P.

Ok. Music seemed to kept on some loop. No variation. Seating area kept clean.

A. A.

Love a Masala fish in naan bread here. Pile on the salad and all those sauces and I am happy.

S. T.

I love this place because they have a wide range of stuff including pizzas which come in so many different sizes. There prices are reasonable and they have one pound semi meals the last time I checked. Also £1 burgers which are not the best but good for the price. The drive through is very convenient and they have a massive carpark which always has space. I really like the self serve sauces, cutlery, straws, sachets of salt n stuff, and napkins which I always load my car with for emergencies because you can take as much as you like (I think.) I took a handful of straws (I dont know why) and salt pepper sachets just because I can! I kept some at home and some in my car. It might be rare but trust me they can come in handy for example I bought a takeout yesterday and the salt pepper and straws came in use. PLEASE DON'T TAKE ANY EXTRA IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT. DON'T WASTE AND DON'T POLLUTE. *KEEP BRITAIN TIDY*

E. (. S. p.

I come here every day for lunch from college i love it not expensive as subway

M. S.

It was Friday night... I'd had a few drinks... I needed salt...ergo Big John's.

A good place to eat something quickly and then we won't be hungry for a long time. (Original) Można tutaj zjeść dobrego wołowego hamburgera. Czystość przy stolikach pozostawia wiele do życzenia.
