“ Excellent sole proprietorship that serves a simple but dynamic tasting chicken smorgasbord of items. Everything was cooked to perfection. Small place with limited seating, but the food is worth every penny. ”
“ They have good chicken that's crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside some of the pieces can be a little hard to eat and by that I'm mean get every piece of meat off but it's worth it ”
“ The chicken is very moist and tasty. The coke slaw ha the right amount of twang to it as well. The Jo Jo's are healthy sized. I'll be back. ”
“ I just moved to St. Paul a couple months ago and was looking for a good chicken place! The Coop is absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken strip basket and it was really good. I wish they had a veggie burger! The staff was very pleasant and I got my food quickly. I will definitely be back. ”
“ Great Coney dogs and onion rings. The burgers are good too. If pizza burger is available that is fantastic. Friendly service. ”
“ Good food good chicken strips corn dogs french fries burgers and good drinks go hereBroasted Chicken ”
“ Still a favorite, after all these years! You cannot find better chicken than the Coop! My sister totally surprised me & ordered a cheeseburger (which was excellent) but NO onion rings? How is this possible? I would understand if she had the fried cheese curds...but she opted for their fries-which she totally loves since they are so crunchy! ”
“ This place is awesome. I was working nearby, so thought I'd check it out. One of my coworkers previously worked here, & had recommended it to me. I ordered their chicken & a coney. This place has been in business since 1963. There are a few dining spots inside. It was a beautiful day out on my visit, so I was able to sit outside to enjoy my meal. The chicken was fantastic. Huge pieces that were juicy & the skin was perfectly crisp & seasoned. ”
“ Yummmmm we had carryout for dinner from The Coop. They had a steady stream of customers and we had no questions why. The chicken was cooked fresh so we had to wait. No worries they have outdoor seating and it was a beautiful evening. Our order was ready after about a 25 minute wait.It was well worth the wait!!!The food was still nice and hot when we got home The chicken was very flavorful (not salty) and very crunchy. The potato wedges were soooooo good. I was sad that I did not order an extra side of them. Tip: Call ahead to place order if the weather isn't beautiful!!! Enjoy ”
“ My boyfriend and I were visiting the South St. Paul area recently, and I wanted to find a nearby lunch spot. The Coop popped up and it had been so long since I had been, so I knew we had to go. They serve a variety of baskets, burgers, fried fish, ribs, sandwiches, Coney Island dogs, and desserts. They have specials every day Monday - Friday and we happened to be there on a Wednesday, so we both got the 1/2 chicken dinner special which includes 4 pieces of chicken, choice of potato, coleslaw, and a roll for $11. If you want all white meat chicken, the price is $12. They have had this special since 1963 and I can see why. Their broasted chicken is among the best I've ever had. The chicken itself has so much flavor and every bite left me wanting more. I closed my eyes and took in every bite, it was THAT good. The chicken was so juicy and tender and the crispy skin was the perfect contrast. Although the skin had a solid crunch, it was somehow airy. We both agreed we have not had chicken like this in a long time. The potato sides were incredible too - I got mashed potatoes and gravy and my boyfriend got the potato wedges. The gravy was very good - it was rich and I loved dipping the chicken in it. My boyfriend got extra gravy on the side just so he could have it with the chicken. Something to plan for: Because they make everything fresh, expect a longer wait for them to cook up your order. For our 2 orders of 1/2 chicken, it took us a little over 30 minutes to get our food. I can't say enough how amazing our experience was however the one thing we did have to tell the staff about before we began eating was that one of the dinner rolls in our order had mold on it. They were very appreciative of us informing them of this. Just check your rolls before digging in. We will be back to try their ribs and to get more broasted chicken. A cute summer spot! I'd recommend sitting outside at one of their picnic tables on sunny days. ”
