Carry-out/delivery only wing spot. I had the smoked lemon pepper wings which had a noticeably smoky flavor and a good dry rub, salt and vinegar fried cauliflower which again was flavorful and fried to perfection. Lastly french fries, plain, and again fried perfectly. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about allergens in sauces, even uncommon ones, and helped recommend sauces for my issues.

I thought I’d give this place a try because I had really good review turned out wrong. I even called the had my wings.Remade because I wasn’t cooked enough in the second time there’s so much sauce at the bottom of the tray that it comes in, you can’t even pick them up and eat them without making a mess that’s part of it is football night both times just wasn’t cooked long enough

I always feel incredibly full afterwards. Get the sandwich combo for sure. Always amazing.

The chicken tenders are huge but I highly recommend you remove the fascia before batter and frying. It is like a rubber band is fried when you leave that membrane on. Tater tots tasted like old oil and onions were fried with them. I probably will not want to try other food items.

Excellent food for a fair price. You get a ton of fries if you go big. The chicken is solid too. I ordered the Fuster Cluck.. Super tasty.

Pretty good! Buffalo wings dont taste like buffalo, but it isnt bad - I like the smoked flavor. Fries are great.

They literally turned a bad experience into a beautiful moment! Our door dasher stole our food when we placed our order. We called the restaurant to confirm if the order was made and we were able to get the situation resolved with door dash. After talking to the manager they remade our order and personally delivered it. Just the definition of over and above customer service.

The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. We ordered 10 wings, 2 tenders, and a bottle of water. The tenders were huge. We weren’t expecting that and they were so good! I can’t remember the orange powder we had on the side but it was absolutely amazing.

Thank you for righting a wrong that you had nothing to do with and showing us that there are still good people in the world. If I could give 10 stars I would 10x over!

I got the businessman and it was amazing! The employees were extremely friendly and helpful immediately when we walked in, which isn’t found very often anymore so it much very much appreciated! I loved the art on the walls and everything about the restaurant!

This is maybe the third time that my order has been missing things & barely has any sauce on it…. Over $20 on a meal and not getting what you paid for every single time is INSANE.

First time trying tonight, got it delivered. The food was still hot when it got to me. The food itself, was amazing! Will know better to get a small fry though, lol. But very delicious.

Food is spectacular here. I like the choice of either fried or smoked wings. I'm personally not a smoked wing fan but can appreciate their willingness to serve to those that do. What I am a huge fan of, however, are their sauces. I tried the buffalo lemon pepper and hot and the flavors were on point. You can tell a lot of thought and carefulness into how each sauce is made. The fries are tasty and there are many seasonings to choose from with them too. I got lemon pepper and it was great! Cocky Rooster is a home run spot if yku want some great wings that are full of flavor. Highly recommend!

The chicken is terrible. I could airfry frozen chicken and it would’ve tasted better.

Honestly the best boneless chicken wings I’ve ever had in my life. They were cooked to perfection and the quality of the meat was amazing. First time eating here and I can’t wait to try more items.

Updated Review (aka “The DoorDash Disaster Turned Delight”):

So after fighting with DoorDash over a driver who decided my food looked too good to deliver, they told me to “ask my bank for a refund.” Be so for real. Why would I make the restaurant suffer because your driver wanted free tenders?

Instead, I called Cocky Rooster, told them what happened, and baby—THE CUSTOMER SERVICE! They didn’t argue, didn’t make excuses, just said, “We’ll remake it for you.” And they did it with a smile. Now that’s how you win a customer for life.

Let’s talk about the food though, because whew—🔥. I got the 3-piece tenders with their Truffalo (that’s truffled Buffalo, for the fancy folks) and a small fry. But listen… if that’s a small fry, I don’t even want to see the large. The fries were seasoned to perfection with blackened Old Bay—soft, flavorful, and living their best life. The tenders were juicy, crunchy, and had me questioning why I ever trusted DoorDash with something so precious.

Moral of the story? Cocky Rooster = 10/10. DoorDash = 0 stars, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I’ll definitely be back—but I’m picking it up myself this time. Lesson learned!

First review: Babyyyy I wanted to leave a 5-star review for this place so bad… but my DoorDash driver, Tavion, had other plans. 😩 Tavion picked up my food and must’ve decided it looked too good to deliver, because I never saw it—or them—again.

If your order ever says “Tavion is on the way,” just go ahead and light a candle and grieve that meal. 🕯️ You’re not getting it. Lick your fingertips, hit “Order Not Delivered,” and move on with your life.

The pictures still look amazing though, so I know the food was good. Shoutout to the restaurant — sorry I never got to taste your greatness because my driver turned into a fork bandit. 🍴💨
