Food was amazing. I got the coco wawa super bowl with the mac & cheese. It's definitely the best fry bowl I ever had. They have spice levels too for people who like it Portion size was large as well. Food was made fresh to order, and the guy at the counter Bason was super nice and helpful.

Stumbled upon this gem in the wall and ended up eating the best chicken of our lives. Everything was freaking phenomenal, we will talk about this meal for a long time.

I love coco wawa so much, I come here often and all the workers are so nice!! I have never had a bad experience here and I reccomend this place to all my friends and family, the mild chicken is so good and the sauce is also awesome I love coco wawaaa

The best crispy and juicy chicken we have ever had! Yes! Everything was amazing! We can eat it every day, we were a little bit upset with the waiting time but they told us that they make everything fresh to order and it was definitely worth the wait as they were slammed with orders, absolutely coming back for more!

I am surprised I enjoyed this place as much as I did. On one hand, it's a pretty standard chicken shop. But on the other, it just nails what it does so well. Every item I had I just really enjoyed. It was simply well made food. I tried the 4 piece chicken tenders with ranch and Southern sauce, mac and cheese, and banana pudding. The chicken was delicious. Beautiful white meat. It was coated in a nice house seasoning. They have a spicier seasoning, but I enjoyed their house seasoning not being excessively hot. The pieces were large. The chicken was still moist and the tenders were reasonably crunchy. Both of the sauces were very tasty. The Southern sauce had a hint of sweetness and creaminess to it. Would recommend if you're not big on spice. They had a piece of bread and pickles served with the meal but that was a bit meh. The Mac and cheese just tasted nostalgic. Nothing too fancy or crazy about it, but it was well made. Cheesy and not too oily like most places make their Mac n cheese. A tad artificial, but I still enjoyed it. The banana pudding was also really good. It doesn't have an overwhelming flavorful and it's not too sweet. Great creamy texture. Very good; definitely hit the sweet spot. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a reasonably cheap dinner of delicious chicken and sides.

The classic chicken sandwich, hot, with coleslaw and all that, worth it. Tastes great, has an equally impressive amount of flavor to back up the heat. Coleslaw helps with the heat just enough so I don't drink too much water lol, fries are a good accompaniment. If I figure out how to post a picture with my review, you'll see how good this sandwich looked, it was gone within 5 minutes lol

They were slammed, but it was well worth the wait! So delicious. If you like it spicy get the reaper. It is so good. I got chicken and waffles and some mac & cheese with reaper for the chicken and fantastic. Quite enjoyed it. Tiny space, most people takeout-order ahead they keep busy.
