The flavor revolution is officially landing in Tampa Bay. NBA legend and culinary mogul Shaquille O’Neal is opening the doors to Big Chicken, his wildly popular comfort food concept, in Westchase next month. The restaurant—set to launch at 8725 West Linebaugh Ave on May 6—is already building its local dream team. The buzz? Absolutely electric. This isn’t just another chicken joint—it’s Shaq-sized flavor with a side of heart.
Why Westchase Was the Perfect Choice
“Big Chicken was built on the vision that comfort food brings people together,” said co-owner Sam Reddy. That’s not just lip service—it’s the soul of this new location. Westchase was chosen for its strong sense of community, its family-first vibe, and the belief that locals would truly appreciate food that brings both bold flavors and big smiles. This spot is more than a restaurant—it’s about connection, warmth, and a plate full of joy.
