Koko's Bavarian
Koko's Bavarian opened in Austin's Govalle neighborhood in 2021, and its name comes directly from its founder's own nickname: Konstantin Prinz von Bayern, a real prince of the historic Bavarian royal house, who goes by "Koko." The concept blends traditional German biergarten culture with Texas hospitality, built around specialty sausages, giant soft pretzels, Belgian-style fries, and rotating craft beer, aiming to recreate an authentic Bavarian beer hall atmosphere in Central Texas. After its original East Fifth Street location closed for renovations in 2023 and didn't reopen, Koko's Bavarian returned with a new South Lamar Boulevard beer hall and also expanded into a stadium-concessions concept, operating inside Austin's Moody Center arena on the University of Texas campus. Koko's Bavarian's combination of its literal founding by a real Bavarian prince nicknamed Koko and its expansion from a single beer garden into arena concessions has made it one of the most distinctive restaurants named Koko in the country.
VS
Koko's Mediterranean Grille
Koko's Mediterranean Grille was opened in Chicago's West Town neighborhood by brothers George and Ted Kokoris, with the restaurant's name drawn directly from the family surname rather than being an invented brand name. The menu spans Mediterranean, Mexican, and American diner fare side by side, including gyros with meat sliced on site, falafel and shawarma sandwiches, spanakopita, hamburgers, and breakfast omelettes, reflecting the restaurant's positioning as an affordable, wide-ranging neighborhood grill rather than a single-cuisine specialist. Coverage of the restaurant has specifically highlighted that no menu item is priced over $10, positioning Koko's Mediterranean Grille as a deliberately budget-friendly option in a West Town neighborhood that has otherwise seen significant upscale development in recent years. Koko's Mediterranean Grille's combination of its Kokoris family ownership and name origin and its deliberately affordable, wide-ranging Mediterranean-meets-diner menu has made it a distinctive neighborhood fixture in West Town.
