A real hole in the wall gem. As mom and pop as it gets. Who wouldn't trust a fat Greek chef??? Well if you want good quality food in an environment that's sort of like going to visit good family, then go here. I drove by this place many times hemming and hawing whether I should try it out. The exterior is not confidence inspiring to be certain, but this clearly attests to what the proprietor values, and that's the food and friendliness. In the photo is a meat lovers omelet and their homemade corned beef hash. I'm 6' 200 lb and I left stuffed They say it's a three egg omelet but it's got to be four eggs just by the size of the thing. It's also PACKED with meat, no token amount to call it a meat lovers...you better love meat. There is no home fries or toast because I am as low carb as possible so can't comment on those. Very happy I finally went in, now I know, and I'll go back to check out the quite hearty looking lunch options. Remember, this is very much mom and pop, zero chain restaurant atmosphere. Btw Greek influences but not overly so. The husband (chef) and wife (assumed) speak Greek to each other but nearly no accent in English. read more

Cosmos Restaurant - Meat lovers omelet and house made corned beef hash - New American Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

We stopped at Cosmos for breakfast because it was conveniently close to the highway. The place only had 1 customer when we walked in at 8 AM on a Sunday. We were told we could sit anywhere we wanted. They have a lot of specials posted so some of their off menu options may vary. I went with the poached eggs florentine with hollandaise sauce on the side. That also included home fries. I found my eggs to be ok and with a harder yolk than I would have expected. I found that the spinach wasn't wilted enough for my taste. I found the home fries to be uneven seasoned. One of the people in my party had a fruit cup that looked interesting as it had kiwis and plums. I would probably get that as a side if I ever came back for breakfast. read more

Cosmos Restaurant - Delicious meal as always at Cosmos. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and it's always an enjoyable experience. - New American Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

What a hidden gem, wonderful people at this establishment, The freshest beautifully prepared breakfast out there, their fruit cup is out of this world, not your usual fare, including plums, kiwi, peach among the other usual fruit, The corned beef hash is delectable, The almonds are a work of art ,cannot recommend highly enough. read more

We live in Charlton Massachusetts and travel through here to our farm in upstate Maine. We visited the restaurant in early June 2025. We got off the highway due to a Burger King sign but discovered Cosmos instead. This place is fantastic. Best coffee I ever had, so smooth and fresh. Breakfast omelette had fresh vegetables and actually had a great flavor, these Greek guys know how to cook. The best was the corn chowder, it was so full of flavor. The burger was also exceptionally prepared and presented. Prices are reasonable and fair. Waitress treated us as if we were friends. We highly recommend this place and will ourselves, stop in every time we are going up the highway to Maine. Easy parking right outside the door. Stop in, it is definitely worth the trip. read more

I just ate here, and I would have given a higher score but for 1 thing. Politics on the tv. I asked for the channel to be changed which they did. They put on Animal Planet. After we got our food, the channel was changed back to the political channel. The food was really good, not a bad price but I don't want to visit an establishment that has politics on the tv. Sports, animal planet, even infomercials would be ok. If you want to have politics with your meal, go here. If you want to be free of politics while you eat, then don't go here. That ruined the ambiance for me This response means I won't be back and I will share it to food areas. I don't feel that I am different or better than the rest, I feel you could leave politics off the tv. For ALL your patrons. I get enough of it without paying to watch it. Also, asking me to change my seat is NOT good business. But, apparently you don't care aboutALL whowant your delicious food. read more

Cosmos Restaurant - The response from the owner of the restaurant since I can't seem to reply to him directly - New American Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

Melina our server was friendly and intuitive. She understood our needs and we had some laughs too. My husband is the "picky" one and loved his meat omelette and the coffee. My Irish Benedict was delicious and for both the potatoes were like home no extra orange flavorings. Diner feel to the place was clean and lots of regulars game and went. Always wanted to stop in and today we had the time glad we did and I know we will be back! read more

Good old-fashioned cooking also homemade chowders fresh Fresh and hot meals. Staff was excellent.

It's a lil hole in the wall the breakfast is very Good the owners are nice it's clean read more

Great service, great food, great atmosphere! We asked to move seats because we wanted to watch the news and the waitress was so accommodating. Don't listen to Karen's making a fuss about nothing. Great job Cosmos! read more

We enjoyed the Cosmos special and the authentic homefries. We have driven by hundreds of times and so glad we stopped. Reasonable prices. Sweet service and atmosphere. We will be back. read more

Have driven by this place on many occasions but finally pulled in yesterday! We were glad we did. The food and service were great! You will not be disappointed, give them a try! read more

TrCosmos has the best mature, bubbly waitresses. The food is exceptional and portions are well worth the money. Thursdays during the winter months from 11:30-til they run out is "Corned Beef Dinner" meals, order early though, it sells out fastn no read more

My husband and I stopped here for a quick lunch after learning the seafood place we initially were going to go to was closed for the season. The service was prompt and pleasant, and the food was excellent. It was nothing fancy, but they nailed the basics. I had a grilled chicken wrap and my husband the cheeseburger. Fries and onion rings were great! The old fashioned ambience added character. read more

Amazing service and food! So yummy I love this place. They have such creative breakfasts

I ate at this cafe because I wanted breakfast and it was late in the day, and they serve breakfast all day which is nice, however this cafe was below average for a few reasons: First it was pretty dirty inside there was a fly that liked to hang out at my table which I didn't appreciate. The waitress was nice and service was pretty fast when I was there, however, later the waitress was complaining to a customer about her long work hours and to the cook how she was hungry. She definitely was overworked it seemed, and that reflected poorly on the cafe. Lastly, while the food portion size for the price is pretty fair, the food itself wasn't much to write home about (I got the tomato & bacon omelet with home fries). I did get my breakfast desire quasi satisfied, but unless you really have an urge for breakfast late in the day, I recommend skipping this one. read more

Stopped for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. Huge portions of great food. Classic breakfast spot!

another graet meal today. We were a bit late for breakfast so while my friend had breakfast I decided to change it up and try their club sandwich. OMG it was yummy! It was huge so I only ate 1/4 the turkey club. I really liked their fries too! As always great service and great food for a decent price. read more

Stopped here on the way to.Kittery. Breakfast was very good and very good portion for price. When we walked in waitress looked at us but didn't say hello or anything. We just sat ourselves. Another waitress came over to take our order. I got a soda. It was very flat. We waited about 10 minutes and the waitess came to let is know she forgot to give our order to the cook and had it in her pocket. Mind you we were her only customer! That about says it all read more

Stopped in for lunch. Seafood chowder was amazing and the best gyro I've had.

This place is not not not kid friendly even though they boast m&m pancakes on their specials board. Service was slow and unfriendly....they would not give my toddler an extra plate, or bring me an extra fork or napkins, slammed our dishes in the washtub when clearing our table, and basically avoided us. But the rudest thing of all was that they cheered when my family left the restaurant. We could hear them in the hall. My kids were not bad just kids and maybe a bit loud....but the treatment was just uncalled for. The food was okay....not the freshest....no real maple syrup as an option and every single piece of toast was burnt especially the kids' toast. Maybe they should put a no kids sign on the door and remember what it was like to have little kids...this is not a five star restaurant people just breakfast at a mediocre diner on Sunday morning. read more

The decor has something to be desired, but isn't it about the food? Amazing! I had a BLT and I have to say so full, fresh and delicious!!

Very affordable prices here and excellent portions! I really like the corned beef hash and it goes great on the eggs Bennedict. They cook it up nice and crispy and it has a unique spice flavor to it. The soups are great here! They usually have corn chowder on Wednesdays and fish chowder on Fridays. The fish chowder is better here than I've had at most neighboring seafood places! The home fries here can tend to be a little mushy sometimes. I don't really care for their pancakes either. They taste like a cheap store bought brand. But overall a great choice for breakfast or lunch! read more

This is a cute little diner with a very friendly staff. Too bad the food wasn't that great. The home fries tasted watery, the bacon was terrible (worse than microwaveable bacon). They must put nutmeg or something in the corned beef and hash which ruined the taste completely. The coffee was watered down. I would try a different place...., read more

Sub par. As someone who's worked at a diner I was not impressed with Cosmos. I went on Easter Sunday, I had ordered the corned beef hash eggs benny this is one of my favorite meals at other diners so I had high hopes. The menu had said it was homemade but when my plate came it was clear that it was out of a can. I was appalled and disgusted that someone would have the audacity to pass that off as homemade. When I informed the waitress she went back and asked the chef. Apparently they were on vacation and didn't have enough time to prepare the corned beef, which usually only takes 1-2 days to prepare anyways. My boyfriend got eggs with home fries, toast and bacon. His bacon was cold and there was barely any home fries on his plate. Sorry cosmos, but I won't be back. read more

I had a sausage breakfast. It was a very good value. I would be happy to pay more for a higher quality sausage. The home fries were warmed on the grill. They should have been browned on the grilled. The waitress was excellent! If you are looking for the chain restaurant look and feel then this is NOT the place for you. Its an older building and Its exterior could use a paint job. It was busy (a good sign). The food being delivered to other tables looked fantastic. The portions were large. This was my first time there. I will definitely try it again. read more

I have not been to Cosmos for about 2 years or more because of a lousy experience we had there. The food was actually pretty good, but the way we were treated was unacceptable. My son (who is physically challenged with cerebral palsy) and I arrived and took a seat at a booth. I'm a very patient person, but after sitting there for 30 minutes and having the waitress pass us by several times to wait on new arrivals, I finally approached her and asked if we could get some coffee. Well, she started loudly yelling at me that it wasn't her fault that she didn't see us and that she was the only one on duty, etc., etc, She took our order and again we waited. Finally she brought out the foods, and unbelieveably, it was the wrong order. She started yelling again and took it back to the kitchen. I did hear her say to herself " I don't know why he did that" (referring to the cook). About 10 minutes later our breakfast arrived. We ate and left promptly, with the cook standing in the door of the kitchen, arms folded and glaring at us with a smug look on his face. So I don't know if it was the waitress causing the situation, or was it the cook? But I have never been able to shake the feeling that my son was being discriminated against because he is disabled. There just was no other reason for this to happen and I will never go back there, I don't care how good the food is. read more

George and the crew put out the finest comfort food in the area. The secret is his fish chowder served each week on Friday. This stuff is nuclear! Cannot be beat or equalled! Service is a snap, food always fresh and good. A superb restaurant read more

Had a greek salad with chicken at Cosmos. The Greek Salad was made with Iceburg lettuce instead of Romaine. The chicken was extremely processed and salty!. I did not eat the salad and told the waitress it was not good. She took the plate away. I ordered eggs and ate them. When we got the bill they charged me for the Salad and the eggs - even though they took the salad back and did not tell us they were keeping it on our bill! So paid $10.50 for 2 scrambled eggs. Not sure whose decision that was, the cook or the waitress, but would not eat there again. read more

I have eaten here many times just for breakfast since my move to the area early this year. The food is fine and the breakfast special from 6 am to 8 am is a bargain. But I won't be going back unless I see the older waitress on duty, who is attentive and nice. The younger woman with the black hair that I had last week, had no personality and no sense of humor and paid little attention to me. She brought me regular coffee instead of decaf, and the coffee was filled up so high there was no way to put even one creamer in it. I asked for butter and she forgot. Above that the entry hall is full of plants and the whole area needs to be CLEANED as do the windows outside and inside that are full of webs and dirt. read more

I went to Cosmos for the first time the other day with my grandmother and we both LOVED it! It's just a regular little old diner, nothing fancy inside, but the food was magnificent! She got a pancake and a side of bacon, I got a western omelet with homefries and toast. The bacon was melt-in-your-mouth and the omelet was huge and delicious. Everything was so good and the staff was very friendly. Like I said, the restaurant/ambiance was nothing special, but the friendly staff/owner, the delicious food, the generous portions, and the reasonable prices make his a five-star breakfast visit! read more

This is one of the best breakfast places around! I'm not a big egg eater so typically I don't like breakfast, but Cosmos has so many pancake options that are to die for, like the Reese's Crumble pancakes. The homemade hash is also fantastic. The wait staff is very friendly, and the prices are low for the amount of food you get. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

Exactly what you think of when you hear whole in the wall! A simple family owned and operated breakfast/lunch joint. With good food, reasonable prices and friendly people. Would go back again! Just a Great Neighborhood Restaurant !!!!!!! read more

Had another great breakfast here today. Nothing fancy, just good food, nice staff.

Love this place. Always great food and fast service. Have been going here for many years and will continue to go.

Interesting and creative menu, beautifully executed. Not your typical Greek diner at all. Seems like a place you would drive right by, but don't! Delicious food, lovely service. read more

I am a regular at Cosmos; I only get toast and a coffee every morning but I'm surprised by "John W"'s review. The staff there is always friendly, service seems to be fast, and they seem to take good care of their customers. I always see the same customers and I have never seen anyone leave unhappy. In fact, everyone I talk to raves about the food there!! Try it out for yourselves! It sounds like "John W" might have been looking for a free meal... read more

Watch your wallet. Count your change before you leave because if you realize after you leave you were short changed and go back, the manager could care less. He's more interested in his profit than his customers. I'll never go there again and I was a faithful 3x week at least customer, as I work in the area and it's a quick place to grab a sandwich. Never again. Manager/owner is worthless I'd give 1/2 a star or none if I could. read more

I absolutely love getting breakfast here! I've had their pancakes, waffles, muffins, the cosmos specials and they were all so amazing. Also, their burgers and onion rings are to die for! The cooks are great and the waitresses are so friendly. Will always be my favorite breakfast place. read more

I had a very unpleasant experience at this establishment. The waitress was very rude and took for ever, which I could not understand because there was only three people in the restaurant. When we finally got the food it was extremely salty and it was burnt in some places. I only had two bites when I called the waitress over and they refused to take it off the bill. At that point the waitress was giving us dirty looks and asked if I had a problem. Being a professional business man I was appalled at this type of behavior. I would not recommend this place to anyone that has any bit of class. When the cook came out, if there ever was a person that could be described as sketchy then he would be it. read more
