Reviews of Big John's Lawley Middleway
Y. N.
If you go in with very high expectations then you may be disappointed. The service is quick and the store is clean, although can be busy. Good selection of items on the menu also.
It is a good place to grab a quick bite. My donner burger was very tasty and the chips were perfect. The dips are a little pricey but you get a good quantity. Overall its a good meal for a relatively good price. Wouldn't mind visiting again.
M. S.
Southern fried chicken burger tasted like a cheap cut of meat, very odd overly peppery taste and the general taste of the meat was exactly the same as some other low quality budget places I have eaten at. Was edible and somewhat nice but would not order the burger again.
The chips on the other hand, amazing. By far some of the best classic tasting chips I have ever had. The service was friendly, easy and fast and the forks with tissue inside a little packet are very handy. Sauces cost a bit but theres a decent selection so that's fine.
Overall, okish food but exactly what it advertises. Just a glamourised local chippy so don't expect a ton, hence the 3 stars as the food is just not a wow factor.
A. R.
One of the nicest and cleanest Big John's I've been in, the young lad who served us was very helpful.
He called us over when our food was done.
Although it was busy with people coming and going there was plenty of seats inside.
Food was nice and tasty and I had a milkshake that was thick and how I'd expect my milkshake to be.
We popped in there on our way to town and didn't fancy stopping in town for something to eat as its always so busy, I'd have a take away from there or definitely go in there again.
Thank you.
A. U.
It was my first time visiting this place, and I'd never heard of it. I was surprised to see it had a drive-through, and inside was very spacious plenty of seating. I got half n half 12" pizza with every single topping. It was lovely, nice, and freshly made right in front of you. I also tried the big johns double decker burger as a meal, which was nothing special, tasted like every other place that does 1/2 pounder but perfectly serviceable.
All in all, it is a lovely place to eat in with family and friends, or if you're in a rush, a quick stop by the drive-through and you'll have fast fresh food just like that.
T. O.
Customer service wasn't great, could have been more friendly during interactions. Peri-peri chicken medium spice was very nice and strawberry milkshake was great!That would be my recommendation.
Although they did not have plates to eat off. Environmentally conscious packaging with card board and wooden cutlery.
I. S.
Excellent location and now a beautifully done up interior. Food is good with very great choices and decent prices and special offers. Though my only concern has been their chips frying skills or the quality of potatoes used. Always dry and an uncooked feeling. Honest feedback as a customer who has been coming here since 2006. Service has always been pleasant.
K. A.
A very clean and brightly decorated, the food was nice, affordable and staff amazing got my order wrong but couldn't apologise enough and quickly replaced it
S.
The food is nice when they can be bothered to cook it properly. I've ordered from here on Uber eats on a few occasions and they always send the wrong sauces and drinks. They sometimes send the wrong pizza or order altogether. I don't know who they have working there but they certainly can't read. The other day they sent tartare sauce instead of mayonnaise. So, just one thing then, just follow order notes and everything should be fine.
A. A.
Soo this was meant to be a quick food pit stop post some serious go kart racing...& I'm so glad we did!! Amazing food..quick and efficient service..we ordered the spicy chicken burgers which were delicious and the fillet o fish was spot on...mango milkshake was divine...we will definitely going back for that..decent priced good quality grub...v pleased..X
A. K.
Absolutely amazing service. Staff was helpful. Clean place, good location and plenty of car parking spaces available.
Food was fresh and delicious. Kids loved their food.
H. B.
Just wanted to say excellent service from Yousaf all the time! He is always so polite and friendly even in busy times he has such good manners and great customer service! Feel he needs some recognition! So thank you Yousaf!
P. O.
Always the place to go for some delicious chicken and chips...better chips than any chippy...great menu for all take away requirements...only bad thing is there isn't a branch in my home town 👍
J. R. C.
Nice food I had the chips and fried chicken with a pizza. I recommend the milkshakes they are nice, thick and creamy similar to American style milkshakes.

Adeel was fantastic, Great Service, Fresh hot Food & Looked After the Family
Thank you
A. Q.

The people at the restaurant were friendly , great people . Rating it 5 as customer service was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful .
A. P.
Really picked it's game up lately. Food is nice and the drive through is really convenient. I love the boneless chicken.
H. S.
Went on our lunch break from work, wasn't so busy when we got there but then started building up a little as we waited for our order. Food was nice, only issue was that it took a while coming out and had to tell the lady on the till they forgot our ice cream, drinks and had to wait on the onion rings a little longer
k. k.
Possibly the best Big Johns out there.
The customer service is out of this world!
They have recently renovated and now have a beautiful new store front, spacious, good food, good times and good vibes.
Definitely check this place out if near by, a must to visit atleast once.
T. S.
Got the cheeseburger, well put together, delivery was quite fast, however I requested chilli and mayonnaise on the chips, yet nothing, not even salt and vinegar. Delivery was fast and efficient.
K. S.
First time I have visited.
Very clean and nice atmosphere.
Food was excellent.
Plenty of parking outside and has a drive thro as well.
Great for a small meal when passing.
J. H.
We were in Birmingham on our first ever visit. Seen this on way to hotel and tried it. Everyone was delighted with the food we got. The options were varied and the staff very friendly and helpful. If ever back down we would go again.
Y. R.
Wow brilliant customer service had panini meal from there was nice but garlic sauce was the best
A. S.
Food was nice but they gave us someone else's order and someone else must have had mines. From joining the Queue for drive thru and leaving took 25 mins.
M. H.
I ordered fish and chips . But the fish tasted like it had been in the oil with all other products. I also wanted salt and vinegar on the chips but you cant taste the salt and vinegar.
w. a.
The big John's in this location is the one for me as I have been to a few and some you have difficulty finding parking as they do not come with there own car park but this one does which is very handy, and also has a drive through which I am big fan off for a quick stop. The food is on point and very reasonably priced too.
S. T.
Shop has been furnished but the food quality is substandard. Everything is processed material. They should work upon quality rather than quantity or cheap.
I. A.
First time I've tried this. The menu is massive in terms of options and the food is just delicious 😋 I'll be back again soon! Eat in and free parking at this one.
B. P.
Great pizzas, great service. Must try for all you pizzas lovers out there. I highly reccomend the 12" pizza which gives you a choice of opting for the thin crust, and upto 20 toppings of your choice. How amazing is that!😍
M. M.
Super friendly service and a wide range of fast food including burgers, peri peri chicken, pizza fresh to order, fish and chips, panini's, wraps, kebabs,masala fish, desserts including Ben and Jerry's ice cream tubs, milkshakes, coffees, fizzy drinks large choice.
Drive thru or eat in
A. w. R.
Fantastic big John's. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was great. And nice and clean inside. Perfect. Will be useing again
z. K.
Food is always on point and the cod and chips hit different love the food great customer service and its always consistent
T. B.
always like to call into big Johns whenever I am passing. good choice of good fast food in a portion that's just right. drive through always looked packed but then again most do nowadays we parked up and ate inside.
J. O.
Decent quality fast food in a refurbished environment. Wait time was long, especially as we consciously got there earlier than the typical football crowds, but still a worthwhile stop off prematch. Will be back, as ever. The kids wouldn't forgive me if we never returned!!!
m. u. k.
Located off very busy road it can be busy at peak times reasonable size car park they do have space to sit down and eat or you can order from the drive through I don't like to go inside to order because I think they give priority to the people ordering through drive because of queue can be massive
D. C.
Very friendly service, very tasty food, no issues at all. Will definitely be back.
s. T.
Love it when I get to drive pass a Big John's and stop off for a wrap meal.
r. A.
Was served at the drive thru by trae, the food was lovely and customer service was lovely also
M. J. H.
Big John's has finally started to produce decent food, they no longer serve the world's most disgusting chips, instead they're much better, actual chip shop quality.
The only issue I've had is that I went to eat in a few days ago and saw a bottle of vinegar by one of the tables, but it was full of watery sanitizer. Yes it stands out because it's blue, but the fact that it's in a vinegar bottle with the label still on, someone (possibly a child) could mistaken it for vinegar and put it on their food.
N. Z.
Gone more expensive then before but service was good even tho was busy
J. C.
Food ok. Not much stuff for veggies except pizza and odd burger. Good for meat eaters
R. A.
Poor service at drive thru. There was no queue, yet we were still rushed by the lady who took our order.
Also very disappointed that sauce and mayo is no longer allowed on your food. Instead you have to pay 50p each for a tiny container.
H. k.
Tasty food, fresh chips. Chicken donner is the best to order from here. You can eat in or drive through and eat in your car in their car park. Good place for a quick bite
D. Q.
Very long time to wait for 1pc chicken and chips, chips were good
K. T. I.
Great food. Good seating area.

Food is really good, big portion, quick service and very clean premises

Quite pricey but worth it. The chicken burger is amazing.

A. S.
Drive thru big John's. Modern refurb. Decent fast food.
I. B.
Good food . Plenty of costumers all the time and they also refurbished all the inside so yea. Looks good . Messing up orders sometimes but from me got 4☆
S. H.
I like Big John's I'm always happy with their services and the food.
P. J.
It's not a bad diner at John's, I sometimes drop in for lunch when I'm passing through
J. D.
Best and tastiest chippy ever.
Update doesn't taste the same anymore and extremely expensive can't believe how much they've put the price up ridiculous £8.49 for fish and chips rather go elsewhere now for better value.
D. O.
Only the 2nd time I've ever been to a Big John's. It wasn't great then either.
T. S.
Great food, well done Big John
Beautiful Chips
T. A.
Good budget quality food. Be prepared its almost like they cook for small people. Small burgers and drinks. Need times 2 for a average person. Lovely chips. Very reasonable price
H. M.
Amazing food and service . The manager kokab was excellent. Amazing service
K. A.
Real quality fish and chips, and excellent customer service by Anisa - who is always very helpful and welcoming.
F. Z.
Classic drive through, great food as always
N. Y.
Updated store, more seating added and better layout
The food is good, chips are well made as well as their pizzas.
H. A.
Really upped their game since the new fit out - better food and great hand turned milkshakes!
H. C.
Ideal if you don't want to get out of car to pick up food and the food is halal which is a bonus. The chips can be a hit or a miss and price for small chips is expensive for the amount you get. Cheese burger is nice as well as the pizza if you pick the right topping,this place isn't one of my favourite but I do go to it time to time for convenience.
A. M.
Hit & MISS. When nice it money well spent / AVOID CHICKEN BURGER AT ALL COST.
D. H.
Great selection of food, had to pay for ketchup tho 😂
M. S.
Usually order Masala Fish in Naan, I have to admit this branch is way behind comparing to Shirley or Highgate, this is my personal statement, food is nice and tasty, packing not so great, but yet again feels like lacking somewhere....
g. h.
Huge portioms nere and a quik service the foods always good at Big johns nit tye friendliest pl;ace around but i go for the food so its cool
S.
Had to stay overnight in Birmingham for work, and was recommended Big John's by the hotel. I've never been to a fast food restaurant with so much choice, and judging by the tailback to get into the drive through on a cold Monday night this place must have something to offer.
If you go to Big John's for the first time take some time to study the menu because its vast. Everything is made to order. The Pizzas looked amazing and so did the fried chicken. I ordered a big sizzle and small chips, which were proper chip shop chips with salt and vinegar applied, perfect. The burger was substantial and grilled (which is the only way to cook a burger) overall I was more than satisfied and full. If I'm ever near the Birmingham City football ground or staying for work in Birmingham again I will definitely visit again and this time try a Pizza.
n. r.
What's not to like. Always packed out portions. Busy at times.
J. J.
Not what it used to be. As they’ve grown in success & customer base - the food quality and effort has drastically slipped whilst the prices have increased. Staff turnover is high (familiar faces don’t last long) and queues are longer. I’ve waited 40minutes for a kebab which is now the norm. Queues now can go out car park and around the corner. Car parks are full of yobs in expensive cars and I’ve filmed a good three fights (one of which was up against my car 😡). Food has gone from fresh to be frozen-reheated (ask, they will tell u).salad and sauces are now charged extortionate rates if asked for separately even if you spend £20+. I ordered kebab in naan £5 something. Separate salad and sauces was +£1 for sauces (50p each) and salad was £1.50 (as THEY chose to place it in plastic storage tubs over the paper bags they used to use!) so £2.50 to have my sauce and salad separate because they splotch the sauce haphazardly everywhere? Wow. They get orders wrong 40% of the time between the order taker and order processor, so you take your time explaining it - which they clearly take offence to so you sit in the drive thru terrified that the reason they left the till after giving you your change before serving the next customer WASNT to tell the chef to mess up your food 😭. Disposed of food and rubbish are strewn EVERYWHERE from the car park, to the roads outside and EVEN the drive thru (🤷🏻♀️) so much so, there’s even bins along the drive thru now. You can’t tell the difference between the cats and the rats on the outskirts of the building, even carphone warehouse have done one (previously based yards away next door). Cracks heads begging for change at your car in the drive thru by the payment window next to the large collection of Uber Eats/Deliveroo/JustEat drivers squeezing through cars & jumping the queue on foot to knock the order window to ask for their deliveries - no one concerned about covid or wearing face masks. The guy serving at the order hatch not taking control and ordering the beggars to go away or telling all food couriers to collect food at the rear door. (No, there’s no notice up to direct couriers where to go). Because of the queues going out of the car park & around the corner, cars wanting to enter the car park drive into the exit way potentially causing an accident every 5 seconds as speed is no concern to them when entering through an exit-only roadway. Those queuing show their impatience by waiting on the yellow box lines blocking the drive thru exit, car park exit and the make shift exit / entrance. Big Johns are currently doing massive indoor renovations in the dine in area so based on what I’ve seen, don’t be surprised if any plaster board dust arrives on your pizza, no sense of hygiene AT ALL and no attempt to hide it through the open glass windows that you have no choice to look through as you wait after paying before collecting your food in the tight drive through. And lastly, as you leave with you food you waited an entire hour for (start to finish) be careful of the big johns own delivery vehicles returning, they park on the base section of pavement holding up the light up menu board which is as you leave the drive thru. As you leave, they enter the ONE WAY drive thru the WRONG WAY at 100mph onto that curb to park. Be careful they don’t hit you. Good luck!

Tidy place
Food is average
Good customer service
S. W.
Food was ok unfortunately they forgot some of my order
S. M. S.
Place is ok and food is amazing for the price you pay, i go there every time I'm in Birmingham.
A. M.
Chips is super.packing in cardboard boxes is superb.
J. A.
Very good food but staff have very poor english
T. W.
Lovely interior but quality of food only good on certain items
T. D.
This place has a large variety of fast foods from chicken and chips to burgers to pizzas. The food varies in quality (my friend's chicken burger was "excellent" whereas my chicken and chips was just "OK") but I would go back to try something else next time. Ample parking and there is a fair sized seating area but there is also a drive through option. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the food preparation area and there was no food wrappers anywhere. I didn't check out the toilets but that's because I'm just a customer, not a health inspector!
H. H.
Delicious food, expensive drinks and no free sauce on drive through
A. N.
Nice food , eating in, take away and drive through as well. Halal food.
i. c.
Good customer service. Nice food
h. s.
No sauce on chips as requested, food is ok, but to be fair for what it is...it's way to expensive! Portion sizes particularly for the burger meals are tiny. I feel if you want to get your money's worth then try somewhere else....
B. T.
Very quick service, food always tastes great and served up hot. Tried sit in service, take away service and both was handled very efficiently. Friendly staff.
J. D.
Big John's is just Big John's, always going to be a favourite place to visit as food always fresh and friendly
S. O.
The first impression of this place is that it's so busy, it must be good.
It definitely doesn't disappoint.
I visited at 23.00 and the food was great. I had the chicken kebab on a naan and all the ingredients tasted really fresh.
Can't fault it and I'll certainly get food from here again.
S. B.
Food is always fresh and 😋 however had couple of issues wrong order and wrong items and they're sauce is just TOO hot should have a mild option to
D. “. W.
I had a mixed meat fresh naan kebab, it was lovely. The lady who served was friendly and helpful with the options. service was quick and we ate in. the staff were helpful and moved a table so we could sit together. the prices are great and I can`t wait to go back. There was a bit of mess that some lazy customers had left, but there was a guy going round and cleaning up after them.
N.
Good tasting fast food generally. Plenty of variety...fish and chips, fried or piri-piri chicken, kebabs, burgers, pizza...
Prices have been going up recently, and the cheeky deals aren't really good value anymore I feel.
One shouldn't really have to pay for a sachet or tub of sauce either. And if you're eating in then sauces should be available on the tables or counter...napkins too. It's the little things that count sometimes...and it's a bad economy to ignore them.
To end on a good note...there's a hand washing point and separate toilets...and plenty of car parking spaces.
M. S.
Quick service even when they are busy. Foods great.
Regularly buy my lunch from here.
Reasonable prices too. Cannot complain.
I've had one issue where they have given me the wrong burger, after mentioning it to them, they were more than happy to resolve the situation by making a new burger AS WELL AS giving me the first burger which I hadn't ordered.
S. A.
Food: If you keep in mind that it is fast food, then what you get is actually pretty good.
Portions are generous and taste pretty good too.
Service: Inside can get a little chaotic during busy periods, but the people on the tills are pretty speedy taking orders.
The drive thru in my opinion can be quicker, but only if there aren't many other people using it.
Verdict: A good, cheap and cheerful, take out option if you are feeling lazy.
M.
Great choice of food and quality was really good. However I brought 30 quids worth of food forgot the mayo asked for mayo and got charged 40p. Not like I just ordered a small portion of chips so could've chucked the sauce in.
F.
Good drive through and quick. Also got free chicken once when we ordered chips only, bummer I'm pescatarian!
We used go enjoy the fish and chips and other foods but the
Taste seems to have changed over the last couple of years.
l. w.
Food tasty. Very strange way for a drive through to work. Give order to young lady outside, you park up she brings food and change to you.
S. A.
Not bad for a quick bite as your going along , food is average but a defo go to place on the go
B.
When you order sauces in pots on the side, they put less than half in, multiple occasions. You get more chilli sauce or mayo put on the chips than paying for a 1/3 full chilli sauce pot. They whole reason I pay for pots is so I can get more chilli. Disappointed with this.
K. S.
I can only share my experience of the drive thru. Which was absolutely fine. It was quick and easy and i had no problems. Food was great. Portions are big! One small issue sometimes the car park can be full of idiots but nothing big johns can control.
M. S.
Have been going to this restaurant from over 7 years. Hygiene, food quality, customer service all deserve 5 Stars. Big car park, drive through available. Probably the only chippy with drive-thru, also make nice pizzas.
F.
Cant see why theres bad reviews, the food is cheap priced so you get what you pay for. Customer service isnt going to resemble that of a restaurant when you're paying £3 odd pound per meal.. let's be realistic
Personally everytime I've been food has been good, I either get a pizza/burger chips. Not everything on their menu will please everyone but theres something there for most
M. A.
Stunning food, clean and polite staff
M. R.
Good food. Got a delivery from a bloke with glasses and red cheeks. He asked to use the loo but forgot to put the seat down. However he washed his hands for 13 seconds. Confronted him about the Government 20 second rule and he said do1 mate i shot tupac. I told him Biggie had a better flow but okay.
G. H.
Been going there a number of times during the lockdown as its open via drive thru or collection. Good choice of food, but always get my order wrong. Have travelled back home only to realise they forgot something or gave wrong order. A bit frustrating if you leave 20mins drive away. Wouldn't mind if it was a one off mistake, but happens every time iv been.

NO NO NO!!! I ordered the southern friedchicken ciabata and the chicken inside was dark brown and hard like someone had run it over in a tractor , the chips were undercooked , I bit into my panini and it felt like I was biting into a piece of metal , I will not be returning , I am deeply hurt by how they treat their customers food
r. .. 1.
We ordered the Southern fried chicken panini, the chicken was 'very dry', there was no salad in it other than 2 large pieces of tomato, and the bun was very crunchy all around and there was no sauce in it, not nice. The donner was nice but a small portion. Chips were tasty
S. B.
Really enjoyed my food. Had 2 chicken breast meal. Generous portion
a. W.
Revamped. Good atmosphere. Great food
K. M.
Food is nice when your hungry late at night staff is a bit dopey and they need to open back up for inside dining
G. G.
Food is good, open 24/7 so can go anytime. Service was good. Used drive thru which if you have a wide or big car the fear of hitting the curb makes you drive at literally 1 mph. That needs sorting. Inside has tables to eat, good selection of good, most of the time is busy.
R. P.
Good choice of fast food; burgers, chicken, chips, etc. The Masala fish with naan bread was very good. Staff were friendly and the dining area was reasonably clean. On-site parking and drive-thru available.
D. G.
Very nice food. Very cheap. Pleasantly surprised. Lots of choice.
P. B.
I hadn't been here in a while thought me and the partner could get a quick bite here before heading home. Used the drive through, quick efficient (gave us all the options available with what we'd ordered)service from the staff taking our order. Cos we'd ordered pizza from the drive through it was going to take some time but we expected that as the pizzas are cooked fresh and to order. We got our order and took it home. For some reason this branch always gets the peri peri chicken spot on, we've tried all the other ones local to us but still we find ourselves coming to this branch to order our peri peri chicken, I was however disappointed with the meal deal option as we got a small drink rather than the can and we got a small box of chips rather than a regular (which is what I normally get from other big johns outlets). Its safe to say we'll be back again but won't be ordering a meal deal option again.
G. Q.
We did the drive thru. The service was quick didn't have to wait long. Food was great!
s. j.
Halal fast food drive thru and restaurant.
We need more of these through UK.....
Good food 😋
E. G.
Wasn't busy during lunch, you still can't eat in even though the restrictions have been lifted. Service was pretty good.
R. H.
Food it's wonderfully tasty..and the new interior deco...its FOIRAH
F. J.
My 'go-to' takeaway. Restaurants are all good and, with so much variety, there's plenty to chose from but sometimes you just need classic chip shop food and that is Big John's for me. Their margherita pizza is amazing.
J. J.
Portions are small for the price you pay.Drive through needs to be improved.
R. G.
Excellent food & service - a change from the usual
N. F.
Cracking food, visited the area to pick up a eBay item and drove past Big John's noting that it was going to be on the route back home. Called in and we weren't disappointed... Left with full bellies for the journey home.

Epic as always
Used to be better when the car nights was on 😜
d. o.
Never used it before but pass it most days.. Chips where OK abit firm but had a crisp to them but I liked them and better then soggy chips, I had chicken kebab in a naan and it was really nice if not pretty small compared to other chip shops for same cost. .. Not a fan of big Johns usually due to quality but this time it was nice but wow since my last visit how much as it gone up thou..

Food is well priced and very tasty

Food is very nice , fresh and tasty, you can't go inside coz they working or repairing something inside the shop but you can get food by drive through, you can sit and eat in the shop as well but now a days they don't do coz of work.

This one and the one in town are the only big johns that i enjoy going to. Food and the service are brilliant. The Acocks green branch is the worst experience iv had in ordering food. The food has not been fresh no smile and they got the order wrong on more then 4 times.
M. Y.
Since the revamp the food is alot better but customer service could be better
S. T.
Not as good as it used to be. I used to like them alot before because of their variety was massive and the prices were reasonable. But now their quality seems to have gone down but their prices haven't.
Last night I ordered a single burger. I dont remember the name but it was kind of new and it was oval shaped with two chicken strips in it. They always ask if you would like salad, chili, or mayo. And I said clearly to the young girl who seemed a bit too young that I dont want any chilli. She acknowledged very politely but was busy in conversation with other young girls that I dont think she even heard me. After I received my order she turned around and continued to laugh and joke with her colleagues which in my opinion is not a bad thing to do at work. I just disagree with having so much fun that you can't notice the customer waiting for service. I needed a serviette and was waiting their. She forgot to finish serving me and forgot that I was still standing there. Her subconscious must've thought that I had walked away but in fact I didnt!
Eventually she noticed and I got my serviette.
After leaving the big John about three minutes later I took a bite of my burger and had that disgusting tangy chili sauce infect my mouth with a horrible taste of one of the worst chili sauce tastes ever. In fact it was the base chili sauce that most fast food places use but unlike some alot of good places where they alter it to make their own signature taste big John's uses it as it comes from the cash and carry! It was horrid!
That's all your honour!

Food always comes out hot 🔥 and good quality for price ! Open at reasonable hours aswell, always a pleasure
M. F.
Love biggies! Main reason I love this branch is because of the server, he is a great person and always happy to see him!
S. W.
Food was lush really nice
O. o.
Better then McDonald's Road man food lol
A. K.
Good place to eat, nice food great price, Drive in or eat in. At the momment its drive through only, covid ristrictions, other wise great place for family eat out.
M. M. A.
Customer service is good, the food is full of flavour and taste great. The only thing is the toilets are small and the drive through goes around so if your sitting near the window there's a good chance you will be stared at when eating.
d. j.
Great service great food highly recommend
A. A.
Great service from staff and food is excellent, thanks Big John's.
A. M.
Food is always consistent. Handy being able to pay by card and the choice of a drive-thru. However, just like all Big John's, they use low quality oil for frying so they're chips are poor. The main let down is at busy times - their system of having all staff work on food then serve customers when finished causes long delays.
A. B.
Worth the wait...fresh food excellent customer service, peri peri chicken wings are Amazingly delicious along with the chocolate milkshake, both highly recommended 😋
A. K.
Food is always fab! Especially the cheese burgers 😛
H.
My favourite is £1.50 pizza slice with chips. But make sure you ask for chilli and mayonnaise on the chips otherwise they are too dry. Everything else just seems overpriced considering that it tastes the same as a chippy up the road in small heath alum rock or bordesley green.
M.
The fresh pizzas are so nice, and value for money
A. b. L.
Food is good.. customer service is not. Went here a few times and every time there has always been a mix up of my order which just causes delays so stop going here
R. A.
Best halal fast food! Please set up a branch in Leamington
A. S.
Great service food was nice
G. C.
Bit disappointed as they no longer do Indian starters, ie shamus, pakora, kat lamas, its mainly a fast chicken stop, 🤔🤔
S. P.
Good food & reasonably priced - late night life saver when everything else is closed.
H. A.
If you order for delivery they are very good. Instore they seem very slow to give orders and also very stingy with sauce. Food is lovely though but needs improvement on speed and also who has to pay for sauce these days.
b.
Always had takeouts from here ,no problems ,really enjoyed the mix kebab recently . Has drive through and sit down and lots of parking spaces .
R. M.
Great for a quick bite, chicken wraps, burgers & piri piri chicken in my opinion are the best things on the menu. Side orders like onion rings tend to be bland in taste also chicken wings are so small they are not worth ordering.
M. S.
Quick service even when they are busy. Foods great.
Regularly buy my lunch from here. …
A. S.
It's a nice place, food is good, only downside is that its drive-through only, so unless you have a car, go to a different branch
I. M.
Decent take away with a drive through. Usually open till late. Can take a little while to make the food so there can be a wait.
O. F.
Chicken fillet wrap meal was a bit dry even though requested for chillie and mayo but tasted nice
S. O.
The first impression of this place is that it's so busy, it must be good.
It definitely doesn't disappoint.
I visited at 23.00 and the food was great. I had the chicken kebab on a naan and …
F. R.
that strawberry milkshake pepto bismol special
S. J.
Really good, drive through Kebabs and all manner of fast food. Absolute genius!
D. T.
Good quality fish and chip shop. Pricing is reasonable and they have a drive through which makes it more convenient! Definitely try the pizzas and the peri-peri chicken which is good value for money and very tasty.
a.
It's a drive through and has eat in facilities,has plenty of parking.
Recently have started charging extra for chillie,mayo etc tubs and removed self serve bottles from tables.
Chips can be a bit of hit and miss lately,last few occasions they were cut small and thin,making them hard to eat.
Staff are friendly though!
S. A.
It's not great but it is open late for drive through and delivery so at least you can have some greasy foods
S. H.
You can’t go wrong with a Big Johns
T. A.
i found nice customer services called khulid is vary helpful and kindly
G. s. g. c.
Good food but workers always mess my order , I order burger without cheese and salad I received cheese in my burger all the time
u.
Great milkshakes and excellent system to order customized pizzas.
Let down because the drive through doesn't have a long run and I'm often left waiting on the road behind driving customers when I would rather park up and walk inside to order
S. L.
Food was good. Open till late. Nothing extraordinary.
M. A.
I tried pizza. It was OK. Not excellent
I. M.
Decent take away with a drive through. Usually open till late. Can take a little while to make the food so there can be a wait.
N. M.
Fast service food tasty will recommend
A. h.
It's good a late-night drive through as most drive through or takeaways close early, however the food is average I've had a lot better u also have to pay extra for suace
I. S.
Majority of the selection is generic, but you do have your Double Decker cheese burgers which are the best I've tasted and your chicken donner which looks very nice and tastes superb, lamb donner isn't that desirable, the Southern Fried chicken is nice and crispy, they use to do real nan before now it's like a pre made nan thrown on the grill for heat and goes rubbery quick, there's disable parking, drive though is quick and convenient.
j. d.
Drive thru is a plus food is just your standard uk takeaway stuff but was ok
F.
Good drive through and quick. Also got free chicken once when we ordered chips only, bummer I'm pescatarian! …
K. S.
I can only share my experience of the drive thru. Which was absolutely fine. It was quick and easy and i had no problems. Food was great. Portions are big! One small issue sometimes the car park can be full of idiots but nothing big johns can control.
a. s.
Tasty food and great prices
J. H.
fantastic food,amazing service,very friendly staff highly recommended
D. M. R.
Portions good size, quality food is average, over priced for what it is, could get more elsewhere, would recommend though 👍🏻
A.
Food was banging proper hit the spot would of been a five star if I got the chicken leg I requested instead of a breast but either way it was perfectly crispy
O. F.
Chicken fillet wrap meal was a bit dry even though requested for chillie and mayo but tasted nice
K. Z.
Cheap and cheerful fast food chain. Plenty of parking in car park with the drive through facility. Brilliant offers. Where else can u get food for 99p. Bloody bargain.
Z. I.
Nice, quick and tasty
N. C.
Really good food and good portions :)
A. K.
Amazing food and cost very reasonable. X
F. G.
Shouldn't charge for sauces
A. R.
Cracking selection of food, from Pizza to Curry's fish n chips to fried chicken. One stop food shop takeout. Love the chicken wings.
A. R.
Wraps are 🔥 but the chips are meh. Make nicer chips & it'll be 5 stars
S. A.
Loved everything about this branch food/service 10/10 keep it up 👍
J. B.
Best mixed meat naan kebab ever, all freshly made, nothing to much bother. Tables clean, staff attentive and pleasant, prices competitive and the food quality excellent.
Q. f.
Bought regular fish and chips today & the chips were definitely not as they use to be they looked & tasted like frozen iceland chips full of oil ,,,,,definitely not fresh potato chips as previously sold here...anyone else noticed this???????
b.
it's big john's so food is consistently edible, sometimes downright tasty. always seem to have to wait before I can order in here though - staff don't seem very organised, probably due to poor management.
Q. M. 7.
Enjoyed the food. Definitely good value for money!
Would have given it 5 stars, if ladies toilets were clean. They were really filthy.
D. B.
They have a new menu theres no longer halal pies which is annoying the prices gone up and worse chips I've ever tasted but like that it has a drive through and decent food
S. M.
Good for a quick bite to eat service is fairly quick highchairs was a little dirty though not wiped over after use
M.
I would have given 4 stars but i ordered a small chicken burger and the burger wasn't cooked properly (had abit of pinkish substance).
X. s.
Lovely fast experience. Nice staff and lovely food!
H. P.
Massive selection of food. We had the fried chicken which was extremely tasty. Great chips too. Nice staff
H.
Had to wait ages for food. Queue system is really silly.
Food was okay when we finally got it
