An opening on Valentine’s Day weekend may make the opening extra fun, with people on dates able to come to the restaurant, but the opening date was not intentional, said owner and longtime West Side Little League coach Ken Coomer
“It was supposed to be Super Bowl weekend, but I had a couple of delays with things, and getting things ready,” he said. “So, yeah, come have a Valentine cone.”
The restaurant’s main staple will be a no-fork-needed chicken-and-waffles, with the waffle being the cone that holds it, plus a choice of sauce. A meal comes with Cajun fries and a drink. Once a liquor license is obtained, perhaps as early as a week after the opening, margaritas will be served.

“Everybody likes chicken, but it’s air-fried as well, so it’s a lot healthier for you,” Coomer said. “It’s lightly breaded, so it’s not the thick bread. And who doesn’t like a waffle cone?”
In addition, there will be several sauces to choose from, including sauces of the month.
“We’re so excited to bring you an insta-worthy experience that you’ll want to share with family & friends!” the restaurant, located at 134 Riverfront Plaza, announced on Facebook. “We’re changing the game with the tastiest air-fried chicken inside a freshly made hand-rolled waffle cone.”
It’s yet another recent opening of a restaurant in Hamilton, following such others as Chipotle and Fretboard Brewing & Public House. Another chicken franchise, Raising Cane’s, confirmed in November plans to open a restaurant next to Bob Evans and across from Kroger.
Chick’nCone asked people to “spread the word about this local family owned franchise!!” and noted that Health guidelines will be in place at the grand opening in accordance with the city of Hamilton’s health regulations.
Coomer told the Journal-News in December the air-fried Cajun fries will be delicious.
There also will be an invitation-only “soft opening” next Thursday and Friday.
