Kocky's Bar and Grilll

Fresno State Alumni Michael Smith and James ODonnell had a dollar and dream. The two friends and fraternity brothers became successful party/club promoters in the college scene, but realized this wasnt a sustainable career choice. So Smith and ODonnell decided to put their marketing degrees to good use, cashing in their chips to open Kockys Bar and Grill. The name is an homage to their fraternity known for being confident and cocky as well as spelling things with the letter K. Kockys Bar and Grill, opened in August of 2011, is located in the heart of downtown Fresno and aims to sell the best wings in town.The two entrepreneurs quickly learned from the critics that they couldnt just buy frozen food and throw it in the fryer or on the grill. ODonnell and Smith read their reviews online and decided to go different direction. Collaborating with their experienced chef, the two experimented with recipes in the kitchen to develop their own unique flavor.Kockys food is fresh and never frozen. We bring you crisp ingredients and products because your palate deserves the best. Kockys burgers are made in house from 100% ground USDA Select Cattlemens finest sirloin tip. Our fries are cut fresh daily. All of Kockys appetizers, dressing, and sauces are hand-made in our kitchen with the freshest ingredients.
