    Finally giving a review on this place! Came here for a work lunch with some co-workers and we ordered an array of food. I normally get their wings when I come but this time I opted for the Southwest Salad which was really good. We got their Buffalo Chicken Dip was alright, the chips were really good but the dip wasn't my favorite. Other than that, service was amazing and I'll for sure be back.

    I got greeted as soon as I entered. She said sit where you like. I really wanted breakfast, I asked to see a menu, no breakfast. So I had planned on getting the veggie wrap. I chose my seat and went to the restroom. I came back, and I waited, and waited, waited, and waited. No drink order, no more acknowledgment. I felt like I was invisible after I came back. So I left!

    We were in Fresno for work and decided to stop by Kocky's Bar and Grill. Great place with a good variety of food and a full bar. The staff are all very friendly and make a great Old Fashioned! There was even a dj playing music. Now, the dj was playing some great songs the entire time we were there, but my only gripe is, he kept talking and singing on the mic. Just shut up and let us all enjoy the music bro... Other than that, we will definitely make our way back here to have some food and drinks when in Fresno, and I highly recommend you do too! Pro tip: Get the wings. Bomb.com Two thumbs up and two big toes for Kocky's Bar and Grill! Happy eating, my foodies!

    Kocky's has a limited but stellar lunch menu, highlighted by some of the best chicken wings, fries, hot link sandwiches, chicken wraps, chicken salads, and fish and chips in downtown Fresno. I ordered the chicken wings on two occasions, and they were delicious. The skin was crispy and had a golden-brown color. The meat was juicy, tender, and savory. They were well-seasoned and good-sized. I more recently tried with the buffalo sauce, which I preferred to the lemon pepper. There is a choice of 20 sauces for the wings, or you can request them fried naked. 3 Whole Wings Lunch Special, $11.99, is a good deal. The special includes 3 golden-fried whole wings, tossed in one of their signature sauces or naked, celery, and carrots. You can add fries for $6.47. I recommend getting the fries too, unless you are on a tight budget. The Fish & Chips Basket, $14.03, is also on point. It includes 4 fillets of southern-battered basa, served with house-made tartar sauce and fries. The fish is delicious, and the fish and chips is a hearty meal and a nice deal. Kocky's is also a popular downtown spot for happy hour and its signature cocktails. Service is friendly, but expect to wave down the server during busy lunch hours and happy hour when it gets crowded and noisy.

    Good wings. Parking is scarce. Staff=meh Hard to order via online when you have a giftcard. Overall, it was an ok experience.

    Fun atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. This place has an upbeat vibe anytime especially during happy hour right in the business district downtown. Happy hour has good drinks and appetizer specials.

    Bartender Sereniti is an absolute gem. First timer, fresh out the hospital after 2wks over the holidays, and she ensured I had a great experience. Chilled bourbon, frothy draft beer and fries so hot I burned my tongue! Great time, will return regularly! Thanks Kocky's

    Delicious BIG wings. The lemon pepper is . Friendly staff, fun vibes with good music.

    I need to stop going out to eat on Mondays because I feel like it results in the second tier chefs (just not the A Team on the busy nights) and bad experiences. For the first time ever, the disappointment started with the water, which tasted like chlorine. It was so bad that I had to ask for a Sprite because I couldn't drink it. Now the blueberry lemon drop and Buffalo shrimp fries were very good. The potato skins were average, but the Nashville chicken strips were over cooked and just not good. My son added sweet potato fries that were limp. Even with a happy hour discount, four drinks and three appetizers with tip was over $90. Was really looking forward to trying a new place, but should have probably just have stuck to what I know. Disappointing.

    Sunday butta brunch... what can I say... First of all.. reserving a table is the best way to go. Started the morning off with a few Butta Mary's - then stepped up to the mimosa tower. Order some bomb ass food for the table - scramble plate, biscuits and gravy and the chicken and waffles. All was mmm mmm good..too good actually- finished it all. Next up..DJ Kay Rich! Feeling the R&B vibe 90s to now and then some. Overall a good way to start Sunday Funday

    Mid. It's been…read moreyears since my last visit and that last visit, I was very generous with my review. Especially since it was a rare occasion of getting great service. That's kind of why I never really cared to come back. Service was not consistent and the place is unbearably loud (yes, I know it's a sports bar)... very hard to have a decent conversation here without shouting. We sat in the bar area, Saturday, which we only went because someone misinformed him over the phone that they would be showing a boxing fight he was interested in... come to find out, they don't show boxing matches. We had already ordered our food/drinks before we found out so it was too late to go elsewhere. It was packed in there but there were two available tables for us to choose from and they did clean it off for us fairly quickly so we did appreciate that. Our guy got our drink orders right away, received it not too long after. Took a while before he got our food orders and even longer for the food to come out. Once the food did come out, he asked if we needed anything else, my man asked for another beer... apparently he didn't remember asking because he came back probably 15-20mins later asking if we needed anything else. My bf has more patience than me because he just told him another beer again only to wait probably another 10-15 minutes or so before finally getting it. Our wings were good... never had a problem with their wings. We got the Jammin' Jalapeños. The nachos... meh. Looks nice-ish upon receiving but there's really nothing to these Nachos and that was disappointing. A bunch of chips with only toppings/cheese/cream on the top layer. I should've taken a picture of what we didn't finish-- which was a lot. Either their quality went down or my taste just got more advanced. Oh, and my margarita was by far one of my least favorites I've had in a very long while... watered down, not much flavor (for a Strawberry marg), and just didn't taste like a margarita. I've had my fair share of margs, I'm very qualified to judge. Anyway, if it weren't for their wings-- I'd probably never think to come back... I'd be good with settling for getting them to go. If anything, I'd only go for a social gathering but even then-- there are better options. K, bye.

    Walked in and took a long time to get helped. I was just there to pick up and order. Tried the…read moresweet bbq wings and they were kinda gross. I would like to try other things but I also don't want to waste the money if they aren't. It was also overly loud inside.

First of all just know that a calm sit down atmosphere isn't this place, it is absolutely a take out, take home restaurant. That being said the gal who took my order was very helpful and suggested the best pizza's for what I described I wanted. The service was spot on and yes, she was correct. Now for the pizzas!! I got an all meat Chicago, Detroit combo and a Hawaiian. The Chicago stole the show with plenty of meat, a heavy cheese and the topping of sauce was perfect. The sauce wasn't too sweet and seemed like fresh tomatoes, not the fake sugary sauce that you might buy in bulk. I love a good sauce but I am not a tomato lover so this was surprising. The other pizzas were just as good but we need to talk about the dough. The dough was almost perfect with a crisp bite, but not dry or rubbery. Again, not too sweet either but seemed to carry the weight of the toppings well and didn't cave in. Overall I would put Hot Rod Willy's Pizza at about a solid 8 for the entire experience. The cost was reasonable and I would definitely travel from Merced to Fresno again to snag a few pizzas. I would encourage the owner to take a look at Merced if he chooses to expand!
