I tried to order online and I went to see how much it would be and it automatically said your order has been processed and will be ready. I just wanted to see how much it would come to before ordering it didn’t let me. So instead of me not calling the shops and telling them not to make the order I decided to call them and tell them it was an accident and not to make the order I just wanted to check how much it would be. The person I spoke to was very rude and said to me that don’t play around with the orders when it was a genuine mistake and the app tried to make me order it without telling me the price very cheeky of them. Very rude worker

Order from here on a regular basis with no issues, unfortunately this evening there were items missing from our order: ben & jerrys ice cream, 6pc chicken wings, can of pop, taco sauce. Tried calling to resolve but rings out and then cuts off.

I ordered a portion of chicken wings. I wouldn’t say I’m a connoisseur, but I have eaten a lot of wings in my life and can say that these might have been the worst. The amount of oil was unholy. The flavors were lacking. And the texture didn’t seem right. I should have just drank a protein shake after gym instead of putting myself through this ordeal.

Ordered online and when my food didnt arrive and I called I was told there was issues contacting with me before hand. However, my number was tested the same day and was clearly working. Was then informed by a member of staff who said "money will be refunded and back in your account in a few minutes". The next day the number went through to someone who deals with complaints who stated we don't "transfer to branches after 4" which was a blatant lie as it directly went to the selly oak branch the night prior around midnight. He then said refunds will take 3-5 days and expected me to take his word for them ringing along with no accountability for the wrong info provided about refund times. Horrible service all round.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE TO EXIST! Deliberately kept putting the phone down on us as they got our food order wrong and asked them to send out the correct food but was told the 7 minute drive was too far! The manager said “ we can do, but I won’t”, by far worst customer service I’ve had! Food was not sent out and the chips I did receive were cold! Waited an hour for the food to come too.

This is my local Big John’s and was planning to order from Uber eats but my friends recommended for me to go and order as it’s much more cheaper and she was right. Prices are really high in general but on Uber eats it’s really higher. I loved how clean this place is and the pizza bar was spotless. I got to choose what toppings so I got half and half and was creative. I also got the fish and chips, chicken wings and loaded fries (family of four lol not binge eating i promise). There was a 20 mins wait which was understandable as the pizza and fish were made fresh. Mad that the burger doesn’t come as a meal although on the screen it literally says add £2.99 for a meal but they just don’t do it. Doesn’t make sense to order separately as turns out really pricy. The food tasted good. Pizza wasn’t the best as was not hitting right. Fish and chips were the best. Loaded fries portions are decent and could be a meal in its own honestly. I will definitely go back for the fish and chips and maybe the loaded fries but that’s it. Maybe I’ll try something else to see if anything I’d like.

Oh, where do I begin with my disastrous encounter at Big John's in Selly Oak? It was like stepping into a comedy sketch gone horribly wrong. Picture this: bagpipes blaring, kilts fluttering, and the unmistakable aroma of haggis lingering in the air. I thought I had stumbled into a Scottish festival, but nope, it was just Big John's attempt at authenticity. First off, let's talk about the food. I ordered their so-called "Scottish Special Burger," and boy, was it special indeed. The burger patty was so dry that even the Loch Ness Monster would have struggled to swallow it. And the toppings? Well, let's just say they were about as authentic as a fake Loch Ness Monster sighting. The "haggis" tasted suspiciously like a mushy mystery meat, and the tartar sauce had the audacity to call itself "Scottish Mayo." I've never seen mayo commit such a culinary crime. And finally, the service. I've never seen such a disorganised frenzy. The staff scurried around, bumping into each other like we were playing bummper carts back in the 80s and occasionally dropping trays of food like the london bombings. It was like watching a looney tunes comedy routine, except the joke was on the customers. My order was mixed up not once, not twice, but thrice BAH HUMBUG! At that point, I half-expected a bagpipe-playing clown to pop out and offer me a conpensation of three shillings and a £10 robux giftcard. In conclusion, if you're looking for a taste of Scotland, Big John's in Selly Oak is NOT the place to go. They've managed to turn a proud and vibrant culture into a warzone. So, if you're in the mood for a good laugh and an unforgettable dining experience (for all the wrong reasons), Big John's will definitely deliver. Just don't expect quality food or a true taste of Scotland. You've been warned!

Do not place orders if you have account credit they will not accept the order absolutely annoying why be on just eat then! We pay by card through this app to get refunds via account credit but then the company refuses to accept the order. Just eat you need to start refunding back to the card and not to the account why should customers have to face this problem because of your policy of refunding to the account. Not a problem they loose out the money no one else

Stopped off for a snack on passing by. This place has definitely gown downhill over the last few visits here. Scored low for food and service, atmosphere unfortunately cannot be scored high as the place was pretty much empty. Ordered mixed kebab on naan with a drink £9.60 definitely not good value as compared to other places (probably charged me incorrectly). Doner, naan and salad were acceptable, watery salad on naan left it soggy. The chicken doner was the top layer, though fresh, it meant that it was excessively spicy and had lumps of masala on which I had to remove. This used to be the go-to place for doner/naan for a long time which has really gone down hill. Stay away and go to Hajees further down the road.

Worst Restaurant in Birmingham - Absolutely Disgusting! I had the misfortune of dining at Food Republic, Birmingham, and it was the WORST experience I've ever had in any restaurant! First of all, the hygiene standards are absolutely disgraceful. The food was inedible, bland, and shockingly bad — people were literally puking in the hallway! The staff couldn't even be bothered to clean it up properly, and they continued to serve without care. The lack of cleanliness here is stomach-turning. The owner himself was an absolute joke — rude, inattentive, and with no regard for customer service or hygiene. The audacity this place has to overcharge customers by £1-1.5 EVERY time, citing some vague "service charge" or "minimum order policy" which is completely illegal unless a printed receipt is provided. When questioned, they give you nothing but attitude. Avoid this scam of a place! To make matters worse, there was a recent Instagram post showing a pigeon inside the shop, sitting on top of the shawarma machine, pecking at the meat that was later served to customers! This level of negligence is unacceptable and should raise alarm bells for anyone who values their health. I wouldn’t be surprised if this place gets shut down for its absolute lack of hygiene and customer respect. If you care about your health and your wallet, do yourself a favor and STAY FAR AWAY from Food Republic!
