Best Sunday Brunch in Downtown Fresno: Butta Brunch at Kocky's

Butta Brunch is Kocky's Sunday brunch party. Music comes from DJ Kay Rich plus special guest DJs, so expect R&B, hip-hop, throwbacks and brunch-party vibes from the moment you sit down.

It's a 21+ event, and a valid ID is required for entry. The crowd is grown, stylish and ready for a good time, which makes it a natural pick for birthdays, girls' days and any Sunday that deserves a celebration.

Butta Brunch runs in two separate sessions every Sunday: Session 1 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and Session 2 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Each session is its own experience, so plan to arrive for the session you reserved. There's a 15-minute grace period: if you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your table may be released or you may be seated with another party.

The brunch menu is built for Sunday cravings. Go sweet with Chicken and Waffles, the Churro Waffle (a golden-brown waffle with sugar, cinnamon and butter, served with three golden fried chicken wings) or the Butta Luv French Toast Bites, brioche bites with maple syrup and powdered sugar, served with bacon and eggs.

Go savory with Big Ol Biscuits and Wavy Gravy (homemade buttermilk biscuits smothered in sausage and bacon country gravy), the Van Ness Breakfast Burrito, the Hot Link Breakfast Scramble served in a hot skillet, the Bacon Breakfast Scramble, Country Fried Steak with eggs and sausage links, the BUTTA Breakfast, or the Tyson Brunch Out Sandwich: an over-hard egg, cheese and bacon on a brioche bun.

Brunch drinks are a big part of the party. Share a Mimosa Tower (two bottles of champagne with OJ, served with a chambong or flute glasses), step it up with the Henn Mosa Tower with four shots of Hennessy, or grab the Bucket List: five Chandon splits with OJ to mix and match Brut, Rosé or Garden Spritz.

Prefer your own glass? Try the Butta Mary (Tito's vodka, house Bloody Mary mix, a chamoy and tajín rim and a breakfast stick), the BIG MEECH michelada, Peach Believe Me, Pretty Ricky, C BREEZY, a Chandon mimosa, an Irish Coffee or an Espresso Martini.

Butta Brunch is by table reservation at kockys.com/p/Brunch. Tables seat up to 4 guests. For bigger groups, reserve multiple tables under the same name so your group is seated together: 5 to 8 guests need 2 tables, 9 to 12 need 3, and 13 to 16 need 4.

The reservation fee is per table, not per person, and table and entertainment fees are non-refundable, even for no-shows or late arrivals. After you book, reply to the confirmation text: unconfirmed reservations may be canceled.

Butta Brunch has a dress code. Slides, house shoes, Crocs and see-through clothing aren't allowed, and management may deny entry based on attire.

Celebrations are welcome, but please skip the confetti and sparklers. Outside food and drinks aren't allowed. Kocky's is at 1231 Van Ness Ave in downtown Fresno, near Chukchansi Park. Questions? Call 559-266-5500.
