A family side will barely make 3 servings, we were shorted 2 biscuits, it was obvious everything had sat under heat lamps or in warmers for hours and the chicken was an absolute joke. The tiny pieces were the size of what you get from a Cornish game hen, completely dry throughout and the outside 1/4" or so of meat was tough as a boot...it could have passed for chicken jerky at that point plus it smelled of old fry oil!!! I'm usually the type that won't return food and just eat what there is and go on but this was so bad I couldn't eat it and wound up cooking myself an egg sandwich for dinner. Complete garbage.

As we walked in, there were 3 staff members: a lady working the register, the older Korean gentleman (the presumed heart of the restaurant), and another cook. Once we placed the order, the 2 men in the back sat up and went to the fryers immediately to lock in. Fried chicken takes its time and unlike a chain like Popeyes and KFC who can have legs, breasts, and wings ready at the drop of a hat, Kokio only makes what's needed per order. This means there is a longer wait for the food. As we sat and waited for our food, multiple to-go and presumed DoorDash drivers came in and had a similar wait to us. The time seemed to crawl as we waited, but once the order came out and I took my first bite, all was well. I ordered their Wings Plate which came with 5 wings, fries, and some coleslaw. I upgraded my fries to waffle fries for the vibes and they were worthwhile. For the wings, I got them tossed in the Honey Bee sauce. They were smooth and sweet while having a slight kick. The crisp on the chicken was insane and had an earth shattering rumble as you took a bite. It's one of those meals you go silent after your first bite and don't say anything until your last. It's one of those meals you are willing to wait over an hour for. It's one of those meals you use 20 napkins and wash your hands twice before leaving the restaurant.

Several other customers after me received their food first. I had to inquire if something had happened to the order and they told me it would be a few more minutes.

I had heard good things about it, but I was quite pleased with how good it actually was. Bread is complimentary and comes out early. Very good bread. We both had the Pink Parmesan and it did not disappoint. If you don't know, that is Alfredo sauce and red sauce mixed. Chicken was well cooked and not dry at all. The tortellini it comes with is SO good! We had one plate with this, and then one with fettuccine noodles. Both are topped with the pink sauce. Tortellini was our favorite of the two, but we're both very good. Portions were generous. My wife and I could have split an order and it would have been plenty of food. Did not come with a salad or soup. I'm sure that could have been added, but was not included with the meal. Also had seafood items, but we did not try any of them.

I am hyper-sensitive to salt and the fish were not overly salty, which is a pleasant surprise for most foods in Lubbock. The jalapenos however, while not overly salted, but still saltier than I liked. However, not spicy at all.

Save me some money. (LOL) Not that impressed. I tried the BLT. Size of the "Sub" style sandwiches are way smaller than Subway, Jason's Deli, and Jimmy Johns. Not impressed with the bread either. Too dank, hard, like stale old bread that's been sitting on the shelf for a while. DRY as patootle. Girl asked if I wanted peppers. Said Yes. Then asked if on the sandwich or on the side. Told her go ahead put them on the sandwich. Didn't really notice what she was doing at the time (Can't really see them making the sandwich behind that 6ft counter), but I could hear her scraping the bottom of the pan with her spoon as she was scooping up peppers for my BLT. I later realized she was scooping up all the trail ends up (seeds, last of the peppers, the CONCENTRATED build up on the bottom) and packed my BLT with the last of what was left in the pan. Guess she did this to get rid of the old to put fresh peppers in the pan. I'll get back to that later. Then we checked out. 2 Sandwiches, 2 .39 cent bags of chips(.39 cents if we were at 7/11), 2 Drinks. After they scanned my Sisters BOGO code, it was $30 something dollars. I looked at the Guy like Uhhh, Buy one, Get one free. Guys said Yes Sir, it's still $30 something. What in the hell?? Sandwiches a 3rd of the size than Subway, at 3 times the price. Never doing that again. Then we get home. I bit into that sandwich. What the living hell. I tasted nothing but PEPPERS. HOT Concentrated PEPPERS at that. That Girl just totally packed ALL that trail ends of that pan onto my sandwich. I love peppers on my sandwiches, but that was ridiculous. I scraped off what I could, but the damage was done. I still ate on it best I could, but the sandwich was absolutely ruined with all that pepper concentrate soaking into the sandwich on the way home. Bad first experience. But, I gave it a try a second time. This time I just had a medical procedure done. Could only eat soft foods the rest of the day. Sister suggested Soups from Pot Belly. Said OK, but NO PEPPERS this time. (LOL) Went through the drive through. Got 1 BOWL Chicken Pot Pie, 1 CUP of Potato. Close to $15. Kinda though $15 was high for soup, but you usually get a LOT of soup when ordering at restaurants, so I didn't think much of it. Didn't look in sack either on the way home. Boy was that a RIP OFF. The "CUP" is about the size of 1/2 a can of Campbell concentrate soup. The "BOWL" is almost the size of a can of Campbell ready to eat soup. I paid $15 for the same amount of canned Soup I could have gotten at United for around $3. I don't see myself going to Pot Belly ever again. I don't get the "APP" Generation that are paying these prices for such little food. Their APP gets them all sorts of rewards, but come on, is it really worth it to be spending $300 on Pot Belly's APP for $7 worth of rewards? No it is not. The APP Generation that is keeping Pot Belly in business just do not get this.
