What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cuckoos Chicken House is a beloved spot known for its exceptional wings and casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Many praise the variety of flavors and the quality of the fried chicken dishes. However, some diners have experienced long wait times and occasional issues with food preparation, alongside concerns about parking.
"A really good chicken house! Onion rings are hand cut and breaded in house. Tenders are great albeit not too big. Prices aren't cheap but food is really really good... Downside is there's never anywhere to park without walking a decent ways. Wish the owner would work out something with a delivery service... I know 15-20 people that won't even patronize the place due to parking and thats a shame!"

"Sitting at the bar getting top notch service from Mark - a star - (local draught beer, loaded potato skins) and watching by Steelers hopefully getting vengeance on the Browns. Had seen online this was a place to catch the NFL (multiple screens, great casual ambience) and I can confirm. The food, beervand service an unexpected plus. Location also perfect. If in Durango when a game of interest is on STOP IN."

"So good! We went early (5:30pm) on a Saturday night and had to wait for a table but it was worth it! We started with the fried okra and I had the chicken fingers dinner and my son had the chicken wings dinner. We love spicy and chose the spiciest sauces and they had good flavor and spice which is hard to get both. The chili lime sauce was overly salty for me but my son said it was fine. Will definitely go back when next in Durango."
