I'll be honest, I didn't originally plan on coming to Cozy Corner, but after seeing the free parking and the charming retro diner interior, I decided to give it a try. I was seated quickly, and the bright 60s-style booths in shades of brown and green were comfortable and welcoming. My friend and I started with coffee. I ordered decaf, but the waitress accidentally brought me regular. Thankfully, I caught it right away and she corrected it. It was a busy Sunday, so I understand service can get hectic, but our waitress felt a bit rushed and not the warmest. Not rude just not very personable. For my meal, I ordered the French Toast Combination with the cinnamon French toast. Since I don't eat pork, the only alternative meat option offered was turkey patties unless I wanted to pay extra for steak or chicken. I chose the chicken and received two grilled pieces clearly the type used for salads. Unfortunately, they were overcooked and dry. This is exactly why I avoid chicken and waffles made with chicken breast it's the driest cut and never a good pairing. The cinnamon French toast itself was excellent flavorful and a huge portion that honestly could've been a full meal on its own. The eggs were fine, and the hash browns were tasty, though I later learned you have to choose between hash browns or meat, not both. My friend ordered the vegetarian omelet and thought it was just okay. Neither of us finished our meals. The plates looked nice, but overall the flavors were pretty mild. I love diner food, so I really wanted to enjoy this place. While the conversation with my friend was great, the food didn't live up to the experience. Cozy Corner seems to shine most with their sweets, and I'd definitely recommend the cinnamon French toast. If I'm in the area again, I might give them another try, but the limited alternative options make me hesitant. I do think offering turkey bacon like other diners such as White Palace Grill, would be a great improvement. For my first experience, I'd give Cozy Corner at 6349 N Clark a 2.5 out of 5. read more

Honestly really good and homey diner brunch food!! I got it delivered to me because it's just one of those Sundays and it really hit the spot for me. I got the corned beef hash which came with an option to get a side of one of their fancy pancakes! The hash was great and great portion size too! I got the lemon berry capone pancakes and I wasn't expecting a stack! So delicious too. Lastly, I got the soup of the day which was chicken wild rice soup. It was pretty standard but no complaints here and the bread it came with was nice and fluffy. I'd totally get brunch from here again! read more

While looking for a last-minute breakfast spot before heading home home, I accidentally drove by cozy corner. Never heard of them before until that day. Definitely a hidden gem to someone that's not from Chicago. We ordered the coconut pancakes and the blueberry French toast, along with a few other things. Everything was exceptional. I recommend the biscuits too, they grill them perfectly. The staff were all very friendly. Can't wait to come back and try out some other things on the menu. read more

My dish (Belgium waffle combo + coffee) was standard and nothing outstanding. I sat at the bar and was intrigued by how synchronized the staff was. A server holding a tray of four full plates over her shoulder while holding a fifth plate with her right hand and maneuvering through the tight space between the front counter (where I ate) and the window to the kitchen. 5 professionals in the kitchen working to fill order-ins, take outs, and door dash. Another server makes sure everyone has a full cup of coffee. All 13-20 employees are constantly moving to keep the diner machine humming. The customers had a local community vibe. Old and young. It's a cornerstone gem that sits at the corner of Clark and Devon. read more

On a blisteringly cold morning in Edgewater, we hurried to Cozy Corner for some warmth and it arrived in a steaming mug of black coffee. Shortly after, I got my standard by which to measure any diner: two eggs over easy, three slices of bacon, hash browns and toast. The eggs were perfectly runny (with hot sauce on the table, always a plus), the bacon was crisp and salty, the toast was crunchy and soft at the same time. And the hash browns were a mix of browned and unbrowned. Just the way I like it. I worked my way through the standard American diner fare and as soon as my cup was empty, it was refilled by our server Maria V, who knew exactly what I needed before I asked. I always love a good diner, and Cozy Corner in Edgewater is a good diner for sure. If you haven't been here yet, give it a try! read more

Over priced nice portions tho but food is damn near tasteless I will not be returning there are cheaper places with good food read more

Came here with one other person and noticed an automatic tip was added to our check -- highlighted in yellow like they hoped we wouldn't catch it. When I asked, the manager (Miguel) eventually admitted they add tips based on whether they think someone won't tip. Seriously? Even worse, I looked around and saw white customers nearby didn't have any added tip or highlight on their checks. That felt targeted, unfair, and just wrong. Shady practice. Watch your bill. I won't be coming back. read more

I've been here a few times, both the service and food is consistently good for comfort-style diner fare. The place is always clean and though the coffee could be stronger, they refill it often enough that I can't complain! Fries always come out steaming hot and they offer rotating menu specials seasonally. And while it's often busy, it's not a place you'll ever need a reservation, so it's great to walk in between errands or as a stop on a cold blustery day. Thanks Cozy Corner! read more

This is a definitely our go to, really a regular tradition now, for me and my partner. The staff is so awesome and greets us warmly every time. The food is consistently delicious. They have an abundance of booth seating which we love! I think I've avoided writing a review cuz I don't want our spot to get too crowded if the secret gets out more than it already is!! There's a steady flow of customers which is always a sign of a good restaurant! And I love that the staff is happy! Super important! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Went here for the first time on 11/25 around 1:30pm and enjoyed the food very much! We did not enjoy our waitress (we were unable to get her name) nor the atmosphere, it was unacceptable. Our waitress spoke openly disparaging comments about the transgender community with another waitress and the person who sat us is an adorable transgender individual. We gave them the tip and let them know why. The tip for that server is to watch her mouth about race, gender and politics at her job and in public (she covered all those during our meal!). I literally felt sick to my stomach when I left and not because of the food. Oh and the waitress asked if we wanted our sausage and bacon over medium?! We didn't know what to say except we wanted it cooked. read more

Cozy Corner is always a super solid breakfast / brunch place, no matter which branch. I'll review Edgewater specifically, since I go regularly - probably ever other Sunday! - because it's always such a treat. The ambiance is always bright and cozy, the diner-style tables, booths, and bar are comfy, and the servers are absolutely lovely, efficient, and welcoming. Cozy Corner is always pretty solidly busy especially on weekends, but wait times are generally less than 15 minutes (in my experience). Limited parking lot available next to restaurant, but I believe parking is also available across the street at Devon Hardware. Food is always delicious and quick, and great portions - you really get a great value. This location serves 2 brunch cocktails as well - impressive Bloody Mary (according to my beau) and I can vouch for the delicious (and strong!) Mimosas (the freshly squeezed orange juice is phenomenal on its own, as well). For fun - If you use the "Too Good to Go" app that combats food waste, you can purchase a surprise bag of leftovers from Cozy Corner for $5.99 for pick up in the afternoon. They are quite popular and sell out quickly the night before! Did it once and got loads of delicious Macaroni and Cheese, Hash Browns (my weakness), and a large container of soup. Very fun! And I love that they help combat food waste this way. Breakfast or Lunch, this is an affordable go-to and neighborhood staple. Highly recommend. read more

Although the pancakes look plain the video attached, they were my favorite. The skillet was okay. I feel like I had more onions in there than anything else which I don't mind onions, but having them in every bite was too much. Our server was extremely sweet and kind and kept checking up on us. I will be coming back for the pancakes!! read more

I had a booooomb breakfast at cozy corner. Ok admittedly I just got the classics: scrambled eggs, bacon, and chocolate chip pancakes. But everything tasted so FRESH. The bacon I swear had to have been just cooked, it was hot and crispy and soooo good. The eggs were fluffy and delicious. The chocolate chip pancakes were plentiful! Everything was awesome. The prices were pretty steep but it was worth it! I feel like I pay similar (maybe slightly less) for the same breakfast at other spots but the food isn't nearly as fresh, tasty, or as large of portions. Highly recommend cozy corner for a casual breakfast spot! Oh - and they have flavored creamers for coffee. My fave! read more

It's Classic diner food with good service. We both ordered omelettes that were very good!

Ordered out here for some shrimp and grits. They have Cajun shrimp and grits on the menu. I order the grits and shrimp with a side of turkey sausage patties. The grits were good. The grits come with shrimp, bits of real bacon, bits of sliced green onion and cheese. The portion is enough for 3 people to eat off. The turkey sausage is tasty and not overcooked. The shrimp were nicely cooked the way shrimp should be cooked. The way the grits are prepared makes them Cajun but this is not grits and shrimp cooked with Louisiana red sauce. I enjoyed this meal! If you are hungry for cheesy grits with Cajun shrimp and bacon this is your place for sure! I recommend. read more

Wow wow wow! My partner and I were in town visiting and wanted an easy breakfast to start the day. I cannot stress enough how amazing the service was all around! Despite the breakfast rush, our waitress Carol was very attentive to us throughout our meal, and great at recommending good items (which honestly did not matter, everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing)! I ordered one of the French toast and my partner got a skillet (with some special mods that were all followed), both amazing and good portions. I especially want to touch on the service in the kitchen and all around the restaurant. It was clean and welcoming inside. Miguel, the manager was at the expo checking every dish before it went out. And all the staff seemed HAPPY. Everyone working in sync and smiling. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in town read more

I visited here in a Saturday around 11:15, and was very surprised to be seated immediately. That was a plus, as far as I'm concerned, and I don't think it says anything bad about the quality of the restaurant. Parking is at a premium here--there's probably about 10 spaces total in their parking lot right next to be building. However, there is a parking lot across Devon where you can park for a few, and there are a few spaces along Ashland that are pay to park as well. Oh, and there's an bus stop directly in front of the door to the building. The restaurant has about 10 counter spaces in addition to the standard booths and tables. They offer pickup and delivery. read more

WARNING!!!! THOSE WITH FOOD ALLERGIES MUST READ!!! Let me first say I take partial accountability for returning as the following is the 2nd time this has happened to me here. I've visited this place 4x, 2 of those times my food allergy has not been taken seriously. My husband and I stopped in 9/8 for a brunch after church. I ordered the 'Fiesta Skillet' with NO chorizo. (My husband is fluent in Spanish so there was no language barrier when explaining the seriousness of the pork allergy). After leaving the restaurant within 15 mins we had to get me to a bathroom, I've had the same reaction to pork since age 11, severe stomach cramps, vomiting, sweating, and immediate need of the restroom. Mild exposure last 48-72 it's just like food poisoning for me can't leave the house and a need for tons of fluid. Instead of writing a review I called the restaurant Monday morning and had a 15 minute conversation with Miguel the manager. He was extremely apologetic and assured me that the kitchen staff is very aware and competently trained on cross contamination and food allergies. He invited us back for a comped visit and was so empathetic I naively believed him. 10/27 we decided to give it another try as we arrived I asked if Miguel was on staff, reminded him of our conversation (he did not initially remember). However he honored his word that he'd comp the meal... now I stupidly ordered the 'Fiesta Skillet' NO chorizo, we explained to the server 3x no pork, no cross contamination. SIDEBAR:: We've gone to Bryn Mawr Breakfast Place for EIGHT years, I always order the Chilaquiles and request NO chorizo, I've NEVER once had an issue. Within 30 mins of eating just a portion of the food I found myself needing a restroom (going to the restroom and vomiting simultaneously). Rather you have a food allergy, a religious restriction, or simply prefer not to consume meat. Understand that this kitchen staff is incapable of honoring such requests. I suspect that they are cooking food in the same pans meat has been cooked in causing cross contamination. NOT FOLLOWING PROPER FOOD SANITATION! I'm fortunate enough to not need an epipen when I get exposed however for the next 2-3 days I will feel horrible. read more

I always enjoyed eating at diners. For me, diners provided some sort of comfort. When walking around, we saw upon Cozy Corner Restaurant. So glad we did! What stood out was the advertisement of the early bird specials. I do like the early bird specials. It starts at 7am and ends at 9am. The prices range from $9.99 to $10.99 on breakfast items. I ordered the vegetarian omelette. I decided on the fruit and toasted rye bread. It tasted amazing! Joseph ordered the meat lovers skillet. He said it tasted good. While we dined on our food, we needed to rest as we just moved into the neighborhood. So we took our time and looked out the windows to take in the atmosphere. Our server, Arturo did a fabulous job in serving us. Prompt and courteous, he made sure we got what we needed. Come and bring friends, family or even a date. read more

I used to love Cozy Corner back in the day and hadn't been there in years, so I was excited to visit again. They used to have the best lemon chicken soup or something similar. I visited on a Saturday afternoon with my sister and a friend. We were greeted and seated immediately by the hostess. I ordered a grilled cheese and fries. The meal also came with a drink. The meal was $12.99, which is a tad expensive for bread, cheese, and potatoes. The soda also seemed to be generic. It definitely wasn't Coke or Pepsi. The sandwich was good, but I could take or leave the fries. My sister had the club sandwich, which is said, was just okay. She didn't like the fries. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles, which he loved. He said the chicken was really good. So much so that he said he was still thinking about it the next day. Our server was a young lady named Centuria or something like that. I asked her what the soup of the day was, and she said, "I don't know. I just work here." I didn't say anything to the waitress at the time, but I didn't care for that reply. It gave an air of "I don't give a fudge about my job." She should have simply said she didn't know, but she would find out. Other than that, she was friendly and semi attentive. One thing I observed was our waitress eating, which she was on the floor. She would eat and wipe her hand with hand sanitizer before touching food that was to be served to customers. I didn't like that because it's not sanitary. There's no reason an employee should be eating while on the clock serving patrons. I witnessed her chewing food while she was walking to speak with customers seated adjacent to my table. Overall, the experience was okay, but I doubt that I'll visit a Cozy Corner location again anytime soon. read more

I got the seasonal pumpkin pancakes here like 3 days ago and I'm legit still thinking about them.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I went in to Cozy Corner on Clark at 2:50pm for a Too Good to Go pick-up. I understand completely that you never know what you're going to get in a TGTG bag, and that wasn't my complaint. (Although, be warned - it was literally the scraped out bottoms of a vat of soup and a tiny bit of leftover rice with two pieces of bread - save your money.) My problem was the HORRIBLE, ATROCIOUS customer service. I went to pick up the bag, and the man at the counter stopped before handing it to me, reached into the cooler and pulled out a giant lemon. (He swears it was an orange now that it's gone up to his boss, but I'll provide photos and you tell me.) He dropped the lemon into the bag, tied it up and handed it to me. I took it home, and when I opened it, the lemon had punched a hole into the top of the soup container, and the soup had spilled ALL OVER the entire contents of the bag. I didn't want to fish through chicken noodle soup for remnants, so I threw EVERYTHING away. Honestly, I was a little annoyed, but things happen, so I decided to call and tell them what happened. I was calm and polite. I got the same guy who had packed the bag on the phone (Jose - a manager) and he insisted that A. It wasn't a lemon and B. They can't guarantee I'll like what was in the bag. I told him several times that I wasn't complaining about the food, but about the fact that he lobbed a huge lemon into the bag and it broke the packaging, spilling soup all over everything so I had to throw the bag away. He LAUGED at me, never ONCE apologized for the lemon, and said, "Okay, I'll give you another bag." He was openly mocking me, laughing at me and really, really rude. I told him to keep the bag, but I won't ever come back because of how he was laughing at me. He laughed MORE and said, "Great. That's good." The man was disgusting and rude and cruel and (I felt) incredibly sexist. I just didn't feel that I would have been spoken to that way if I hadn't been a woman. His boss called me to discuss what happened and I finally got an apology. But then very quickly what came out of his mouth next was, "He's been with us five years and everyone really likes him." So I'm left to assume that this is their culture. They're cool with men treating women like this. It's so incredibly gross. They could have offered me a $100 gift certificate (he didn't offer me ANYTHING), but I wouldn't have taken it because I would never step foot in that restaurant again. I suggest you stay FAR away. Incredibly gross. read more

My guy and I were in the area and I chose based on the 4.2 reviews to have date day here. Our waiter Alan was PHENOMENAL!! Very friendly and Knowledgeable was on top of everything except the extra Mayo but that wasn't a big deal. No one is perfect There is parking in the front, down and across the street but it's pay to park. The food was ok to me and really good to my guy. I had French toast with eggs with cheddar cheese and crispy bacon even though my bacon didn't look burnt. It had a burnt taste. The French toast was just OK. I've made better at home and the eggs were just eggs with cheese so they weren't bad or good. they were just OK so everything in my opinion for my food was OK. My guy on the other hand loved his burger, maxed it!! and then turned around and ordered a side of french toast which he ate as well. Would I go here again no, would I recommended it? Based on service and the value for the quantity yes. It's not the best but it's not the worst. I hope you have a better experience!! read more

4 Stars all around. Prices are on the high side, for example an omelette is $16. The Eggs Benedict were good. I asked for the grilled tomato on the side.

Chilaquiles with Salsa Verde + Chicken: This is what I ordered and it was between this and the huevos rancheros. Definitely this is the more expensive choice but also a larger plate. Our waitress recommended the green salsa over the red (which is my typical choice) but I am so happy I listened to her! The green salsa was fab and I asked for a side of the red, which I ate with the rice, and it was a less flavorful option. The refried beans were very tasty and the chicken added on made me feel like I at least got some protein instead of just having nachos for breakfast. $12 for the chilequiles and then $3.50 for the chicken - so kind of pricey for a diner but I would order again. 5/5 Biscuits and Gravy: This was kinda meh. I feel like the best thing about a diner such as this is guaranteed good carbs and the biscuits were smallish and blah. I would recommend a different option, but that said B&G is like pizza - it's always satisfying. 3.5/5 Hashbrowns: These deserve their own section because I stole some of my friends and they were so tasty! Seems simple to make good hashbrowns, but lots of diners get it wrong, whereas this place got it just right! Not soggy but not too crispy, with just the right amount of crunchy friedness. 5/5 Chicken and Rice Soup: We got this as a bowl and it came early so my bestie and I scarfed it down, even cleaning the bowl with the white roll that accompanies it. It's simply flavored and we added some Cholula into the mix at the end to spice it up - which worked well with the creaminess. 5/5 There was no wait at 11 am on a Monday and the food was all super hot fresh from the oven. The ambiance is diner-ish but I mean - that's what you get. Parking is also easy (to get in) in a dedicated lot in front of the restaurant- although it's annoying pulling out of the spot due to the layout. Service was friendly but not too "extra" and very attentive. We were in and out fast, which was our priority to catch a flight. Food didn't blow me away but it was filling and just the ticket on a hungover Monday post-Lollapalooza. read more
