Big John's Shirley in Solihull - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was fresh and awesome. Taste is outstanding. Customer service is very welcoming and appreciated. Soon visit again

Nice tasting good value pizza. Like the fact that you can select exactly what you want rather than a restricted list.

Cold food, undercooked chicken and potato wedges, £33 gone to waste as wouldn’t replace our order. Find somewhere else..

Ordered Masala fish with naan. Cost about £11 plus. The naan wasn’t hot and it wasn’t freshly made, I think they buy them in and just heat them. Tasted pretty bad. I also asked for sauces to be put on the side in a container. They just squirted in inside the box. When I paid he said cash. I said I didn’t have cash then the card reader appeared. I used to go few years back and was decent. Now I will never go back. Bad food. Bad customer service and expensive for what it was. Never going back!!

Rude staf who blatantly lie to your face, treat certain customers differently to others

I don't even want to give this outlet one star, the service for a fast food chain is quite possibly the worst I have experienced, not just the service but how they dealt with a simple complaint at what they had themselves caused, with what we had paid for and what was delivered was diabolical, we got fresh food eventually but was just fit for the bin. Never again.

Went to big John's friday evening . Large chips were stale over cooked and hard. Certainly not good value for money. Last time I will be going

This is by far the best big johns I have been eating in, with the best food and everything, and the service is amazing to, highly recommend

Tasty and fresh fast food, they make love pizza and you get to choose your ingredients, no seating though, look nice and clean, parking is not hard, no on site parking

I visited this branch at lunchtime when you would expect the food to be freshly made. Chips were not fresh and cold, fried chicken was also cold. Curry sauce was watered down. All for £6.30. Would not be visiting here again. By all means avoid!!

I will definitely not recommend this place in Shirley. It was waste of money and food not worth the money and time. There is no privacy, very bad mannered staff watching you at all times and it took forever for the food to arrive, and especially with children it was just not on. 0 rate to everyone and everything including food.

Super good! Ordered pizza chips chicken nuggets absolutely delicious definitely ordering again!

As always, great breakfast (if you want muffins, baps, and more...)

Extortionate prices, food aint all that and stingy with their protions.

Years ago this place used to be really good. Their pizzas were amazing, but lately it's gotten worse. Not only that, I used their own online ordering, and placed it an hour before I wanted to collect (19.30 collection). The time came to collect, but as I checked their website, it stated it was preparing. I checked every 15 minutes until 21.30, and even messaged them and tried calling, but no reply. Calling them was a nightmare. Had to go elsewhere in the end, sent them an email and still had no response two days later. The day after the order was put down as cancelled. Gone down hill. Terrible service.

I just placed an order for 26 pounds for pizza only to get crust with cheese what nonsense is this not first time big johns you are a big mess

This is, hands down, the worst place, I've ever ordered from. The customer service is poor, no emotion towards dissatisfied customers. I had to ask the gentleman if he was going to apologise for the fact my food was soo late. Then the driver called me after I had waited over 45 minutes from the allocated delivery time slot to say he would be four minutes, he arrived over fifteen minutes later. When I called to complain to their customer care team, the call was dropped four times. I will NEVER order from this branch again!!!

It was awful staff were ok food was nasty got 2 piece chicken and chips been there since morning would never go there again

Good good, prices are alright as well. The quality of the chicken and the chips has dropped a little though

Food is normally decent but why keep changing your minimum free delivery

Absolutely rubbish, cold food salty chicken no tissue no souce

Comes in very handy. Their Stratford road,solihull outlet chips/meal is absolutely amazing. Recommended anytime.

Rude staff and Worst customer service I’ve ever seen. I ordered 2 piece chicken and chips with Mayo, One of Staff member refused to give me Mayo by saying we don’t have free policy, We charge 50P for Mayo. It was So Rude Even I didn’t ask him for free Mayo”.I paid £5 for food but dumb staff member thought I can’t affairs 50p for mayo”. Disgusting food, Chicken was alright but Chips were dry not fresh”. I wish I could give you 0 star for your customer service”.

Can’t comment on service and atmosphere as I used Uber eats but most of the chips were black - guessing rotten potatoes

Got a burger and chips. Burger patties were over cooked, fries still hard and cold

Walked in and asked how long a pizza would take and was told 9 minutes. Informed the gentlemen I was in a rush. After 15 minutes another member of staff asked if my Pizza had gone in ??? Eventually walked out after 25 minutes 😭 got home and there was missing food from the order!!!!! 😡 Pizza was delicious, but behind the counter very poor organisation and lack of basic management. Won't be going again!! Not the type to leave negative reviews but couldn't resist!!!

Use to go here a lot, food was always on point now the quality of food is poor the prices are ridiculous now they don't even do any offers anymore, even more tight with sauces now just been put off this branch, other branches seem more welcoming and accommodating.

Usually the food is great. However the last 2 orders have been wrong. When spending £40 its very annoying. The 20% discount isnt applied to the bill when placed on the app... Called the on line number and spoke to a very rude man. Who advised me I don't know the difference between the app and a website. Wont be going back to them again.

Big Johns used to do lovely pizzas with great service. Spent £40 on pizzas tonight. Firstly they arrived 25 min late (didnt mind as they were probably busy) Tried to call the number for the branch to see how long the delivery would be. Unfortunately its a centralised num, after calling 11 times and them putting the phone down (waiting in the queue then they hang up) finally got thorough to a chap, asked him how long the delivery would be and why I didnt receive the discount from ordering on the app. The man was adamant I booked it online and not on the app. After advising him I have placed 6 previous orders in the same way and had no issues he still talked over me telling me I don't know the difference between an app and a website. Very frustrated at his pure ignorance i put the phone down. Food arrived 3 out of the 4 pizzas were wrong. The garlic bread was lovely and the taxi driver was friendly. Disappointing as i enjoyed a Big Johns but unfortunately I won't be ordering from them again.

Thought I’d give them a second chance twice but never again. Twice, they had got my orders wrong. Never again will I go there again.

Can't go wrong with big John's it's a bargain and the food is always spot on. Just gutted ther is not one in Liverpool

Pizza decent because cooked fresh- Donner kebab shocking and paid for chips and none in the bag- got pictures of the kebab will post if I can

Great lunchtime deals friendly staff Well priced

Really expensive for fishshop foods 😪

dont go here absolute rip off!!! everything is overpriced. and very poor quality i dont know what's more cardboard the chips or the box it comes in. Charge you money for chill sauce.

Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious. Very large portion also, much more than can be seen on the Ubereats photo's. Just very disappointed that I didn't receive my utensils etc. as requested.

Superb cheap and cheerful 😊 Excellent value

Good choice , quick and nice service

Food very tasty, nicely cooked and generous portions. However after eating it in the park I checked what we'd paid and discovered we'd been overcharged by £2,

Everytime I order food from here for delivery, whether its via their website or uber eats, they ALWAYS put mayo in my food even though I select without mayo in my order. I hate mayo, I never have mayo in my food. Why do they even give us the option to remove mayo if they never listen. Very poor service. Also their chips are usually stale and hard. The hall green and acocks green big johns actually pay attention to my order and don't put mayo, avoid Shirley big johns.

I bought some chips from here, left the store and crossed the road. I then opened the box to eat the chips and they were already cold within 3 minutes of leaving the store. The staff attitude and vibe inside is dead, would avoid it.

Burn and old chip they taste like previous day and burger never again

Pizza arrived completely cold and like it had been left to sit for a very long time.

Food was hot and tasty, prepared pretty swiftly and good portion sizes for the money. The staff were not listening when they were spoken to sometimes but it was the end of shift so 🤷

Had cold food delivered, the chips were not fresh and pizza was not good with a lot of olives and less of other vegetables

Went this eve and they stopped serving my margarita pizzas but the queen of a server got them to make it for me and it was amazing. Was struggling to get a taxi home. Best place I could have gone into at 2.30am. Thank you legend queen. Wish I knew your name, you are wonderful. Best service.

I never knock food, the donner was the worst I’ve ever had so dry like it had been left out for days and had been chiselled off stone, chips were a quarter decent naan bread like it was the base of a pizza I would never eat from this place again and after a long day’s fasting you can imagine how I felt.

Visited to Big John's, vicrage road kings Heath. Order was simple 1 large chips with salt and plent of mayo on the chips. He refuse to put mayo and telling me we are not allowed from head office. Just to clear him self he called other BIG JOHN'S branch where they clearly said each branch have their own policy, so i went other store had the same order and guess what i had lots of mayo on the chips. Went back to the same old branch and showed Mr IMRAN the Manager. Well after that he straight been rude said go do what ever you want. I must say if you dont want you day to be spoiled than definatly avoid BIG JOHN'S VICRAGE ROAD, KINGS HEATH BRANCH.

Really nice person everyone there love it

We ordered a bbq chicken and a vegetarian pizza with a side of chips. Not only was the food cold on delivery through just eats but the vegetarian pizza had meat underneath the cheese. This led to our vegetarian friend biting into the meat unknowingly and she ended up vomiting. This ruined our lunch date. Avoid this place like the plague as the food is below standard and they do not care about customers with dietary needs.

Ordered on Ubereats last night, Amazing food, delivered on time. Their new line of burgers is delicious especially the Mexican and Korean chicken. Would highly recommend. Thanks Naeem 😊

Bland tasteless food, ordered a southern fried chicken panini and the bread and chicken were soggy all throughout! Chicken nuggets were dry and tasteless. I appreciate you get what you pay for but £11 to throw it all away isn’t on!

Food was delivered wrong, the food was absolutely disgusting I wouldn’t even give it to my dog. Called customer service and they asked me to take the old food out my bin before they would take the complaint any further Avoid Avoid avoid

Was alright, much better than the last time I went In

Nice staff. Corporations with customers.

Warnings - these guys are thieves!!! If you order a takeaway make sure you check your order before leaving the shop. They gave me an incomplete order and when I went back 5 mins later they called me a liar. Visit at your own risk…

absolute rip off £6.00 for 2pcs chicken & Chips. you get it half price from bens down the road. Overpriced.

Fish and chip are overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. Donner is fantastic.

I wasn’t particularly impressed with the food we had, it was merely ’ok’. The portions of kebab are slightly small and the chips are just ok.

Big Johns has always been a funny one…. Sometimes the quality of the food is perfect and sometimes it’s just worst than other days…. It’s a 50/50 chance at times weather you get the best food or not…. However, the Pizza in Big Johns are pretty nice

Ordered a takeaway through the app; firstly and very annoyingly their order tracker updates to say your food is on its way, even though it still doesn’t arrive for another 30-40mins. Which is pretty disheartening when you’re hungry. Secondly when it does finally arrive it’s incomplete but the driver runs off so fast you can’t tell him. When you call, their customer service is fairly rude and you have to wait about the same amount of time as you did for the initial take away again for your missing items to arrive. We’ve ordered twice now and had the same situation on both occasions so we won’t be ordering again.

Excellent service. Fantastic pizzas and excellent delivery from Qaiser, who is always smiling and very polite. Highly recommended.

Didn't go there, just looked thru the window!

Great customer service food is really good I try masla fish whith naan is nice

Tasty food, good variety and good value. Been ordering from here for years

Ordered a build your own pizza, not sure if the pizza I got was even the one I ordered as it had two ingredients I didn't order and not the chicken I ordered either, also didn't taste or look as nice as I've had from other Big John's locations. The mixed meat kebab in naan also wasn't great, was presented awfully, both meats lukewarm and dry, naan was solid on one end. I'll go back to Big John's Kings heath next time as I've always received good food from there.

Great food as it has been over the years. Reduced menu from before though? I really miss the small dinner kebab burger for 99p as it was a good little snack whilst you waited. Will pop back again when passing that way.

A lot better than the seaspray in shirley. Still wouldn't go back

Its a shame that Big johns dont seem to have the items we occasionally want, occasionally I like a soft battered fish and chips but they must be low on batter, then other times I like sausage and chips potentially with a curry sauce, but they dont have the sausage this has happened on many occasions, I guess they do not order enough or not at all. So I now go to Shirley kebab house who always have those items in-stock at a slightly cheaper price too. I would say Big Johns seem to aim at pizzas & burgers as they also deliver.

Customer services was really bad the women didn’t even take my order for about 5 mins when she wasn’t doing anything and then she didn’t give my order to the guy at the back to make. Just waited for about 20mins and then the guy made it the donner meat was cold and not fresh Disappointed with the customer services as they were just talking to each other rather then serving also she touched the chips without glovers that is very hygienic. Chips was cold to Not happy at all

Picked up chicken and chips the chips were not cooked properly and food was cold and dry. Never had such poor quality uncooked chips

Worst experience ordering food here. Waited for 2 hours and still not delivered. Got a call now saying delivery within 15 mins. Not gonna order ever again.

Chicken was like it was from the night before, stupid rule that they can't put chilli or mayo on the chips just so they can charge you for the tubs, but some of the other stores are fine to do that

Fish and chips delivered tasted as if though they were prepared several hours ago, hard and dry, definitely not fresh, no wonder they delivered so quick. Also requested a couple of sauces which was ignored. They responded saying that the customer needs to pay extra for all sauces which is not made clear when ordering online. So you increase prices on your menu item which is poor quality, and then still charge for extra for tiny sauce pots. No thanks again.

Cheap, good quality food and kind staff

We have ordered to our home address before but this time after placing an online order they called to say we aren’t in their area, and we could not get a refund for 3-4 days. Two upset children who were looking forward to a treat! GET A BETTER WEBSITE AND TREAT CUSTOMERS BETTER! Although from the looks of some of the reviews perhaps we had a lucky escape! Head office attitude sucks!

Not great experience this time, chips were rock hard, of course that means they have been cooked for long time.. Donnor was nice actually, staff was OK, friendly.. Guy plz don't serve old chips.. Thanks.

Good food and I was really looked after by Asad.

No flavour in the chicken wrap and chips. No sauce allowed on chips had to pay extra. Disappointing food.

Good place service sometimes is lacking.

Good selection, reasonably priced and great staff

We almost didn't make it to Big John's alive, courtesy, ironically enough, of one of their delivery drivers, who'd decided that speed limits and give-way signs don't apply to them and bombed across the give way lines at least 80 mph in a 40 zone, forcing me and other drivers to do an emergency stop. Anyhoo, we eventually made it to the takeaway in one piece, shaken but not stirred. But they got part of the order wrong. And when we told them this, they argued and and insisted we'd ordered something completely different. Eventually, they reluctantly agreed to change the order but it looked distinctly like one of them was doing something unpleasant to the new pizza, presumably to get back at us, so we decided not to take any chances and left. We didn't even ask for a refund - we just wanted to get out of there!

Used to be very good. Gone downhill. Lazy, slow staff and less offers available than there used to be

I bought a diner kebab with chips, and chicken wings the chips and diner were stone cold and the chicken niblets were off will never buy from there again😡

Rubbish service, staff on till was v confused even didn't know himself what he doing. I ordered 4 PC chicken n he gave me 2 pcs, I ordered kebab wrap n he gave me just kebab. Disappointed

Awful place. Never open when it should be and everything is dry and old

You get 5stars if you're Michelin. :-)

I bought 3 portions of Fish & chips and 3 curry sauces this evening and it cost me over £30!!!!, The fish tasted fishy and with hardly any batter!! Chips were hard and no one enjoyed any of it. Im sticking with Zebs next time. They are cheaper and have best quality fish and chips . Never going to Big johns ever again!!

Fast service takeaway, large choice of food. Competitively priced.

The young man serving was so pleasant and helpful made my visit delightful.

Fantastic kebabs best shop in Shirley. Never had anything otherwise .Great

Good quality food at reasonable prices. Our go to place for a take out.

I’m regular customer since 2019 never ever have any problems with staff or food everything’s perfect in this store nothing wrong 5***** one of the best place in Shirley, and prices are cheap too, highly recommended keep it up guys DO NOT THINK ABOUT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, GIVE THEM A TRY, thanks

Only went there due to a lack of options

Great staff, basic standards in food

Food is always a hit or miss experience here. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Same with customer service and service time - if you go in during peak online order hours, they don't want to know! Prices have gone up more, especially for the quality of food.

When he gave me two slices with the pizza slice & chips I knew it was going to be trash. Dry chips, and only the cheese burger was decent due to it being made there & then.

Went in ordered my food only to get home and found out instead of pizza and chips got chicken and chips 😔

Visited this morning at 1am. The staff are so friendly and do a wonderful job. We ordered: 9 inch vegetable pizza £4.99 - Fresh, very nice taste as expected Peri Peri Chicken meal £7 - Chicken was cooked perfectly. Very tasty.

Good food, reasonable price and very quick service.
