Big Chicken, Novelty architecture restaurant in Marietta, US
The restaurant features a giant mechanical steel chicken structure, measuring seven stories tall, with moving eyes, beak, and comb above the entrance.
Originally constructed in 1956 as Johnny Reb's Chick-Chuck-'N'-Shake, the building underwent a complete renovation in 1993 to preserve its status.
The steel chicken structure serves as a navigation landmark for local residents who commonly use it as a reference point for giving directions.
The restaurant provides a menu of chicken sandwiches, tenders, and milkshakes, with convenient parking available directly in front of the building.
The mechanical chicken's eyes rotate in their sockets while its beak opens and closes, creating a moving display visible from Cobb Parkway.
