“ Great catering menu! Everyone has always enjoyed the chicken when we have served at parties. ”
“ Big Joe's will forever be my favorite place for fried chicken. I don't live nearby anymore but anytime I visit home I always get a craving! Service is always so kind, I love the ladies who work the counter. It's a pretty cute little place, I've always gotten carry out but there are tables if you'd like to order inside and eat there. It looks unassuming but this is probably the best fried chicken in the area. Really great prices and plenty of inexpensive lunch specials. The food is always so so good and fresh. ”
“ Love rib and chicken combo. Ribs fall off the bone! Broasted potatoes and slaw are really good too. They are busy so plan ahead on football days but definitely do it! ”
“ Review #503 11/30/2024 Do you love the taste of Broasted Chicken, Potatoes, & Saucy Tender Ribs that fall off the bone when you rip into that first bite??? You must order carryout or Eat the delicious foods cooked perfectly here at Big Joe's Chicken & Ribs. (Seafood too) I've bought different dinners to go on the weekends when My friends come over to relax in the basement at the bar and enjoy a tasty and satisfying meal with combos from this yummy business. Vicki and her crew of talented cooks and other staff work very hard all day long to fill orders and walk-ins too. I would place your order the day before an event or call in the morning the day and night to pick up a carry out order that is so Finger licking good and with their Fantastic Flavors! BTW: I still have not met BIG JOE Yet! :-) My photos attached from different orders placed for parties shows the large combo dinners in nicely packed containers with large portions too. Never overcooked foods! The sides are choices of broasted potatoes or french fries to compliment an order of chicken, ribs or fish. YES the fish fillets are so crispy and lightly battered and crunch when you taste. Their homemade sauces on ribs and sandwiches are sweet and delicious with sassy tastes! Their prices are reasonable and again portion sizes are LARGE so well worth the money! Stop in a grab their flyer ad with special prices on meal combos!

“ Came in here for a cheap eat with my daughter, it was awesome!! Staff was incredible, and food was top notch. My expectations were low for the price point, and I was blown away by the overall experience we received. I will definitely be back!! ”
“ Better call in advance and reserve your timeslot. The chicken is incredible, but so are all of the other entrées seafood is incredible except I have not had the fried perch yet. Potatoes are incredible and not oily yet crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. ”
“ Never had Big Joe's before last night. Growing up near the original Chicken Shack locations in Royal Oak, I always was a shack guy...I think that may change. Went to a party where the host catered big Joes...so glad they did. Big Joes is a far better product. huge pieces of chicken, with an amazing, crispy crunch...so good. Their broasted potatoes are fantastic too! ”
