Went for lunch today with friends. Got there at 11:10 and it wasn't crowded yet. We ordered the…read morethree piece chicken special, a chicken breast with water, a two piece chicken special and another separate chicken breast with a salad. Service quick, Chicken excellent (crispy yet moist), Crinkle fries were good and a great cole slaw (Sweet, similar to KFC but different). Always a great experience if you get there before the crowd. Definitely one of the top three chicken places in the Cola and surrounding areas! Probably #1 or #2 in most peoples polls.

I'm not sure what sparked the craving, but as I passed through Columbia at lunchtime, fried chicken…read moresuddenly seemed like the only answer. I asked Yelp for the highest‑rated spot and ended up here. The place was bustling, with most of the parking lot full, yet the ordering process moved quickly. By the time I returned from the restroom, my number was already being called. I had ordered a three‑piece meal with double cole slaw in place of fries and a sweet tea. Settling in at a table, I dug in. The cole slaw leaned too far on the sweet side for my taste, though the texture was crisp and fresh. I skipped the dinner roll and the tea, focusing instead on the chicken. It was thoroughly cooked, meaty, and satisfying. Not especially spicy or bold in flavor, but solidly good. This isn't a fancy establishment. The tables and floor may not be spotless, but the food delivers. Best fried chicken I've ever had? No. Still, it was very good, and worth the stop.

We're always on the hunt for a good wing spot, and lately we keep finding ourselves back at Cocky…read moreRooster in Five Points. This time we went with the Buffalo Lemon Pepper, the Anaconda, and the Buffalo Ranch dry rub--all extra crispy, of course. The hardest part is choosing because they have so many sauces and dry rubs on the menu. And can we talk about the housemade ranch and bleu cheese? Absolutely worth adding to your order. Great wings are one thing, but friendly staff and consistently great service keep us coming back. If you're in Columbia and looking for your next wing fix, add Cocky Rooster to your list.

The guy who took our order was very helpful in making suggestions for a first visit. The restaurant is pretty small so only a few tables were available for dine in consideration.

We also ran into some trouble with the fountain drink machine and the same employee replaced our cups with bottled drinks for no extra charge.

Some of the highlighted items we tried were the cheese sticks, the boneless wings in chezzi flavor and the tradition wings tossed in kickin bourbon, citrus chipotle bbq, mango habanero, and lemon pepper. The fried Oreos were the perfect ending to this delicious meal. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. The customer service was unmatched. Plenty of parking. I would suggest doing takeout as seating inside is limited.

I've been here so many times I can't keep track, but last week I decided to stop by and pick up a…read morecouple of breasts, thights and cole slaw for lunch to take home. I've always had Zestos as one of my favorite three places in Cola area for chicken and it seems like I swap each one of those places back and forth between #1 and #3. Zestos was usually my #1. I've told many people it's the best chicken in the world, but I've always thought that it was a bit too salty. After my wife and I had the chicken I realized this was the saltiest that I'd ever tasted. It's in the batter, not the chicken. It was so salty she couldn't finish her piece. I fiinished a breast bit saved the two thighs for the next day. First time ever that I thought it was almost too salty to eat. I've moved it down to #3 on my list and it'll probably stay there after this. I don't consider KFC, Popeyes, Bojangles in the running between my 3 top chicken places, just because they're more fast food and the chicken is different (although I like Popeyes and KFC a lot). But I almost would take those two over Zestos if the chicken was like it was the other day.

Received a friendly greeting…read moreand was informed that it would be a few minutes longer than normal as they were just getting set up for the day. I wasn't in a hurry, so no problem at all. It's a small corner store kind of place, but clean and stocked with a variety of old school nostalgic items. As I waited for my egg and bacon sandwich on toast, I browsed thru inventory and my childhood memories - Sunny D, Countrytime lemonade, Golden Crisps, Fun Dip to name a few of the things I coveted from commercials. ;-) there are also a range of snack foods, and some useful items like school supplies and dental hygiene kits. Oh, and a freezer of ice cream novelty treats. There are several comfortable chairs, one table, and a TV for you to eat in or pass time while waiting for your food to be prepared. Which will be 100% fresh and to order. Keith checked in on how I wanted my egg cooked for the sandwich! They also have quarter pound hot dogs, and a very affordable collection of lunch baskets. The store is clearly community oriented. Keith took time to ask my name and how my day was going. I learned he is a Dreher graduate. And they were collecting supplies and funds to provide school supplies to those in need. And the sandwich- just perfect. All real ingredients, and the same size I would make at home. I look forward to trying other items in the future! Tip: given the limited seating and reliance on fans for cooling, takeout strongly encouraged.
