Went here after church on the recommendation of one of my daughters, and let me tell you, she earned her halo for this one. Turns out one of our senior Sunday school groups from church comes here regularly, and the owner actually sets up a long row of tables just for them (which tells you everything you need to know about how this place treats people).
The food? Excellent. The chicken was seasoned right, fried right, and tasted like it was cooked by someone who genuinely loves poultry. The ranch dressing was on point too – creamy, tangy, and made me question every bottled version in my fridge.
Now, one of us did get the three-tender meal, which indeed came with three tenders, but I’m not gonna lie… those tenders were a little on the “fasting” side of the serving spectrum. A fourth one would have really sealed the deal as a meal instead of a hearty snack. That said, the chicken tenders on my sandwich were massive, so I’ll call it even.
Bonus points for variety, to; this isn’t just a chicken shack. They’ve got fried catfish and burgers on the menu too, which makes it a perfect spot for families or groups with mixed cravings. The catfish looked golden and crispy, and I’m already planning to get that next time. As for the person at our table who got the burger? I couldn’t get much feedback because they were too busy chewing, which I’ll take as a glowing endorsement.
Fries were cooked perfectly, crisp outside and soft inside, and when I asked if they offered a military discount, they graciously covered my drink. That’s the kind of gesture that earns loyalty.
Actually, did I mention the sweet potato waffle fries? Cuz if I didn’t, I’m doing your disservice. These were literally one of the best sweet potato fries of any type I’ve had anywhere. Unbelievably delicious, crispy, and perfect. Perfect. Maybe some cinnamon sugar honey butter dipping sauce would pair and nicely
If you’re in the area, skip the chain spots and head here. Rocco’s Chicken Joint isn’t just serving food – it’s serving kindness, flavor, and community on a plate. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a lunch here today. With the multitude of chicken and wing places in the area, this place stands out BY FAR! You can’t beat the pricing, food quantity, or quality. We were very impressed. The staff was friendly, our order came out quickly, the food was hot and fresh. We will DEFINITELY be back! This is one of the first times in a while that we can boast on a great dining experience all the way around! Honestly, the BEST wings I’ve had in the area in a VERY long time.

Great service and the food is excellent! Perfectly seasoned chicken fingers and the ROCO sauce is super delicious! Love the fry seasoning as well and glad they give you the option to add more at your table! Also tried a side of their buffalo sauce which was very good and so planning to order the chicken fingers tossed in the buffalo sauce next time!

Great chicken and burger place that really stands out from the many tender places in town. I have had the tenders, wings, and burgers and they are all excellent. Nice and clean dining room is a good place for a quiet meal. They also have a drive through. Highly recommended!

Came in for one of their amazing burgers and saw the 9.99 lunch special. 4 tenders fries a drink and toast. Absolutely perfect. They really treat you right at Rocco’s.

NOW SERVING TATER-TOTS!! Okay, the reason I am giving a good review is because of all the other menu items that the other joints don’t provide. First and foremost they offer GRILLED tenders. Secondly, they offer sweet potato waffle fries. And most recently they offer tater-tots. At one time there was a place in town that offered wings and burgers with tater-tots but they stopped. So I was so happy to accidentally discover Rocco’s had tater-tots. This was my first visit ever to this establishment. And being honsest I will say the fried tenders today were not the best in town. HOWEVER, I will be given this place a second and third chance so I can try the burgers, wings and catfish. I am all about supporting local small businesses. And you should too especially if you like a variety of choices at a chicken joint. I might be craving fried tenders but the others in my house like grilled chicken and wings. Rocco’s gives everyone in the group an option.
(2nd visit) It’s been 4 days since my 1st visit. Today was grilled chicken fingers, mango habanero wings and sweet potato fries. The grilled chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The wings were friend correctly but the sweet potato fries were over cooked and tasted burnt. Next visit will be soon to rate the burgers and give the SP waffle fries one more try.

OMG. This is by far the best chicken fingers/ wings in the area hands down. Chicken has the best taste, perfectly seasoned. The wings were top notch! We saw this place while we were trying to find wings and fingers at the local Publix, which by the way seems to not have anything available for purchase after 630P. Roccos was awesome. They had the food cooked to order in mind blowing time and it was amazing. A must eat!

I was genuinely excited to try this place for the first time, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t meet expectations. The lemon pepper wings were overly salty, the fries were cold and hard, and the toast wasn’t toasted, just a plain slice of light bread. The tenders also weren’t good.
That said, the customer service at the drive-thru was great, she was friendly and welcoming. I really wanted to enjoy it, but overall, the food just fell short.

I thought it was ok. It was a couple more dollars than the competition and there is certainly is no shortage of chicken fingers in Auburn. Fairly standard chicken fingers and fries. I did enjoy the dry seasoning. Conveniently located in the Hamilton place shopping center. Definitely going to give it another try.
