Thought I’d give this place another try because we can all have an off day. Wow never again! Chips were stale , order was cold, asked for sauce on the burger and there was none. The curry sauce was so watery and for the 2nd time your delivery driver looked at me like he had just trod in something. I hate throwing food away but we couldn’t stomach it 🤷

No complaints about the food but can you tell your drivers to stop taking 15 minutes to give me my change. If I want to tip you, I'll tell you as soon as I give you the money. You don't need to stand there messing with change untill the customer gets board of waiting and just wants to eat their food.

Big John’s Kebab is a must-visit spot for any kebab lover! The flavors are exceptional, with perfectly seasoned meat that’s juicy and tender. Their garlic and chili sauces are the perfect complement, adding just the right kick of flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you’re getting. The staff are friendly and efficient, ensuring a great customer experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or satisfying a late-night craving, Big John’s delivers every time. Highly recommend the mixed kebab—it’s a flavor explosion! I’ll definitely be back.

Avoid this place. Ordered off Uber eats was expected the food not to be piping hot but at least mid temperature, the food was absolutely freezing, I l ordered a sausage, donner burger and a portion of wedges. The wedges were stale, the donner was so black and burnt and stank like it has been sitting there for days and the sausage was absolutely freezing and it looked as if it hasn’t been cooked from the inside. They need to be shut down or some serious health precautions need to be taken into place for serving people food like that it’s taking the piss.

I had a terrible experience at Big John's in Erdington. I ordered two chicken burgers and asked to upgrade them to meals with chips and drinks. The guy serving me clearly heard my request, but he purposely overcharged me. He charged me for an extra burger and added the cost of one chips and drink, even though I was getting chips and drinks with both burgers. It was clear he was trying to take advantage of me. The food was also awful. The burger was dry and cold, and the chips were like cardboard. I only went there because it was my last option, but I’ll never return. Dixy does much better chicken, and Mother Hubbard is far superior for chips. Please be cautious when ordering here and always ask for your receipt, as they seem to purposely withhold it to hide overcharges. It’s probably not the first time they’ve done this, and it’s really disappointing to see this kind of behavior.

I used to love getting food from Big John’s in Erdington, Birmingham, as the food and service were great. However, my recent experiences have been disappointing. The chicken has been incredibly dry and chewy, with a plastic-like texture. When I brought it up with the staff, they just insisted it was freshly cooked, claiming it had only been made “10 minutes ago,” which didn’t seem honest. It’s sad to see the quality go downhill like this. I hope they make some improvements soon because it used to be so much better!

My order arrived quite early, but when I opened the box, I noticed that the salad was missing from the healthy meal deal. I promptly contacted the store via telephone they assured me that they would send me the salad as soon as possible. However, it’s now almost 5:41 p.m., and my food has gone cold while I’ve been waiting for the salads. I’m deeply disappointed with the service from the store, and unfortunately, I’m unable to eat the cold food. To make matters worse, I haven’t received the salads either.

Big John’s Erdington in Birmingham offers a wide selection of pizzas, kebabs, and burgers. Many customers highlight the friendly staff, especially praising their politeness and efficiency. The pizza, with a variety of toppings, is often commended for being flavorful and fairly priced. However, experiences can be mixed; while some note the fried chicken is perfectly cooked, others have found it inconsistent. Overall, it’s a popular late-night spot, with freshly made meals served quickly and clean surroundings being a consistent positive point .

Walked in and ordered a pizza but when selecting the toppings I was told there is a limit to 4 topping with extras at 50p each. Please update your signage John, as customers don't know this until the order is payed for, the 4 toppings is inadequate. Staff seemed disinterested and lacklustre when questioned. Shame as I've been coming here since its opening but I probably won't bother again.

Food over cooked over sauces and over priced... so I have to update this review as it won't let me make a new one.. I visited again after having a taste for good old chicken and chips like back in the day.. only we're here today.. where the staff are very customer service lacking.. personality of a dead fish.. so unenthusiastic... its like they hate they're job to the max.. But anyway let's get down to the food... alot of chips shops are refrying there chips ... so instead of throwing them away or giving extra portions to prevent waste they're are refrying them.. yesss.. believe it it's true .. now you can tell this because the chips appear wrinkly.. over cooked .. dark and tasting horrible and no amount of salt and vinegar will help these dead chips .. now big John's are slightly clever hear.. as tge cook their chips lightly so when refired they don't look it lol.. but they are wrinkly on appearance also they have a weird chewy texture and the ends are so sharp they wreck your gums and almost break your teeth.. the chicken was a joke in portion size had I not walked away from the establishment already I would have taken this back .. chicken breast .. not a full breast may I add.. but half but a quarter size honestly it was a joke.. not freshly cooked like I'd asked because I didn't want the pieces in the cabinet they looked dry.

The food is great, the portions are big, and the prices are good. My favourite is the mixed grill. Hamza makes it amazingly well. But only he makes it this good and not so much from Mr Boss man.
