Savor Authentic Southern Grub – Fast, Fresh, From Scratch + Conveniently Served
With a Drive-Thru Option

 
Known for its fresh, all-natural ingredients and inviting atmosphere, Cozy Coop, the Southern fast-food sensation, recently opened its second location in Roswell, Georgia, with a ribbon cutting in partnership with Roswell, Inc. The 3,000-square-foot Cozy Coop location is operating at 891 Holcomb Bridge Road after gutting and completing renovations of a former Hardees. Following the success of its first fast-casual location in Kennesaw, Cozy Coop continues to deliver a from-scratch, chef-driven menu featuring fried chicken, baby-back pork ribs, and classic Southern sides all day and evening with southern breakfast staples to kick off the day.
 
“We are thrilled to welcome Cozy Coop as they open their second location here in Roswell! With a vibrant $250 million restaurant industry, Cozy Coop is a fantastic addition to our community. When we first met Mike and Ricky, they were confident in their ability to deliver high-quality, quick service dining – and they have certainly delivered with their made-from-scratch recipes and top-notch ingredients,” said Steve Stroud, President and CEO of Roswell, Inc. “In a city known for its chef-driven dining, Cozy Coop stands out by offering a quick service option that rivals the excellence of a typical sit-down restaurant.”
 
Leading the kitchen is co-owner and chef Ricky Navas, who brings a passion for Southern cuisine with a wealth of experience from fine dining at Atlanta restaurants like Storico Fresco, Paces & Vine, and Murphy’s. His innovative approach blends traditional flavors with modern techniques, ensuring that every dish served at Cozy Coop is both familiar and extraordinary. The menu has a variety of items, including fan-favorites such as the signature fried chicken, tenders and wings, baby-back pork ribs, and comforting sides like mac and cheese, collard greens, biscuits, cornbread, and seasonal or weekly specials with many items offered in individual servings or large family-style meals. Chef Ricky also features freshly prepared sandwiches, salads and desserts, and signature homemade sauces catering to a variety of palates.
 
“Our mission has always been to take fast food to the next level – to show just how delicious and exceptional ‘fast food’ can be when it’s done with heart and care,” shared Michael Madonna, co-owner of Cozy Coop. “Guests at our Kennesaw location quickly recognized we were doing something special – which opened in November 2022. We quickly became a local favorite, and we’re starting to see that happening in Roswell with support from the city, new guests, businesses enjoying our catering, and already with many regulars. We’re grateful to be welcomed with such open arms!”
 
Cozy Coop Roswell continues the brand’s tradition of providing a communal dining experience, with counter service/table delivery dine-in, carry-out, and drive-through available.
