Really this place was just ok but, it's important for me to mention that It is a step above IHOP. The service was great but, the food was pretty bland. I ordered the eggs and ham combo with french toast and I ate it but I knew it could be better. The atmosphere was loud and chaotic, not something I wanted to experience when sitting down for a nice brunch. read more

Very easily a better choice, than any IHOP location on the northwest side. I was with a friend, and suddenly remembered about the second Cozy location on Diversey while helping a friend do an errand(thanks for helping me recall the address, Google 411!). From my experience here, I'm very glad I suddenly remembered Cozy's other location, since I've always thought the south half of the NW side has a mysterious void in decent eateries. At least this is a start in the direction it should go, along with Bread Basket(one day I'll make it there...) by Belmont/Cicero. And if you're lucky enough to wake up before 9am, they have super-cheap breakfast specials for (I believe) $3.49. Be advised if you're driving out to this location(and I could see that, it is the less crowded sister location of the 2!), their strip mall lot often fills up. If that happens, look for a space in the residential blocks north of here. Don't park in the residential blocks south of here, (edit) most of those blocks have 24/7 permit parking. read more

I thought this place kicked ass the first few times I went. I realized how wrong I was the last time I was in there. THERE WAS A HUGE ROACH ON MY TABLE!!!! DISGUSTING. Seriously disgusting. I am sorry but that is unacceptable and I will never be back again. Needless to say, we did not stay to finish our meals. read more

I love it here....friends even joke and say I'm part owner because I go so much. Food is always good. Some of my favorite choices are Country friend steak, country friend steak skillet, and the typical egg hash brown and sausages, and the Fiesta skillet (it's chorizo) mmm. The sausages are fat and juicy. Also you can substitute them for turkey sausages. They make great sandwhiches. They only thing stopping me from giving it a five is the fact that sometimes it gets so full I've had to leave like twice because of the wait times and that's usually just Sundays. Other than that awesome place!!! Check it out read more

So glad this Cozy was nearby when I moved into the 'hood last year. Same fun, fast service and delicious menu as the Milwaukee/California location but obviously newer and, yes, just a bit cleaner. Definitely my old standby. read more

So, I love pancakes. Especially on Sunday mornings. I was very excited to have a chance to check out Cozy Corner. A friend told me about this place so i expected it to be good. What I did not expect was just how great the service was. The staff really seemed like they enjoyed their job. They were very efficient while managing to joke around and have a good time. They were allowed to sprinkle in their own personalities while doing their job. The food was really good and the price was right but what I will continue to rave about is the service. Awesome!! read more

I was introduced to this place by some classmates a few years ago. We went near the end of the semester after a Saturday class. I had never been there and was still getting adjusted to living in the city. Holy waffle hell! The waffle I had was soooo good. I have wanted one since I first had one almost 3 years ago. Fast forward to today. I stopped in there around 9:30am and was offered to wait for a booth or have a seat at the counter. I chose the counter. I was some of the quickest, friendliest service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. I ordered a Belgian waffle and two scrambled eggs. The waffle was good. I like my waffles a little on the crispier side, so that could have been better, but the taste was as good as I remembered. The eggs were good, and this is saying a lot because I am not a huge fan of them. I'd asked for them to be fried 'hard' and they were pleasantly cooked just right. The coffee was good too. Overall, this is a booming little spot with good food and excellent service! Oh and they have added an additional parking lot adjacent to the building off of Diversey. read more

So.so.food. Service is a bit slow and not warm. French toast is good. I happened to see our server coming out from stall at their bayhroom while I was drying a small cloth towel at the hand dryer. Not sure she washed hanbds or not, because she did't use the other hand dryer on the side... read more

Its a place for a decent breakfast. This local chain has better food than Ihop/Dennys, but hours are limited to breakfast/lunch.

Love it. Try the chilaquiles. Absolutely delicious. Also, the Cozy Skillet, cream cheese french toast and blueberry pancakes are incredible. read more

It's diner breakfast, plain and simple. Always packed, always a wait but it goes quick. Their bacon could use some help but I love that they put whipped cream on top of my chocolate milk. It's a get-'em-in, get-'em-out joint and service tends to feel rushed, but the food is pretty decent. Really, there's not much else in the area to hit up for some breakfast food. read more

Almost eat this every Sunday with my wife. Great diner food and can't help myself around the country fried skillet!

How come I can NEVER park in their lot!?!? It is always crowded. However, the turn around here is quick. The wait staff is always awesome. I like their breakfast. I usually get pancakes and hash browns (they are so good here!) and bacon. Their club sandwiches are good, too. I've never had a bad experience here. The bad part is that they close at 4 pm or some lame hour like that. Give it a chance! It's newer than the Cozy Corner on Milwaukee Avenue. read more

i love this breakfast place!!! it is always packed in the morning so be sure to be early cause they close early too. i have been here a couple times and i am a fan. food is always good and seasoned right. the wait staff and cashiers are always nice and helpful. it is better than ihop, golden nugget and famous pancake house! read more

5 stars for the steak chilaquiles, good service, and good prices. If you have never had the steak chilaquiles before please do yourself a favor and get them. They are sooooo delicious! I am not sure if they offer green sauce, but it doesn't matter. You must order the red sauce! Mmm...I'm hungry... read more

I came here for breakfast, the place gets pack and their is a small parking. The service is ok, but I feel like they like to rush you out. The food is average pancakes, bacon, some Mexican breakfast portions. The prices are ok not to expensive or to cheap, the food portions are ok as well. I just didn't like their coffee it felt like it was sitting for to long. We waited for ever on maple syrup and ketchup. They do get extremely busy, but that is not an excuse on why you have to wait on your essentials things like forks and napkins. read more

Boy, this place does what my folks would have called "a land office business." For you young whippersnappers, that means they are hella busy. We arrived about 11:30 on Easter Sunday and ended up waiting for about half an hour with a gazillion other people of whom I was probably the crankiest about having to wait. But it was worth it. I actually passed on all my usual first-visit dishes (Eggs, biscuits and gravy, pancakes) and tried their French toast. It was light and tasty with just the right amount of crisp and none of that weird metallic flavor that French toast sometimes has. The coffee was average, the bacon was done perfectly! (Most places either serve bacon too limp, which makes me want to yak, or over-done which means it's pig-flavored charcoal. Bacon must be chewy!) The place is clean, the service is fast and friendly and the food is good and reasonably priced. What more could you ask? read more

Only Good Things To Say. Cozy Corner is accessible, straightforward good, delicious and very inexpensive. The servers are charming saints and make you feel at home. My advice to hipsters and yuppies (my clan, I admit): The food is super cheap - but tip on your experience, which is going to be great. Be respectful and nice to the regulars; they are V.I.P.s. Sure, it's the type of place where everyone feels and is treated as VIP - but given that that is a restaurant/home, let's keep the positive energy flowing. Don't over think it - just don't be maleducado. If you can - get there early to avoid waits (duh, on brunching). The line moves pretty fast. read more

Excellent food, service and good free parking. Great location for meeting with friendly knowledgeable staff, large selection of menu items and specials. Have been here before and have never been disappointed with food or service. read more

Ordered a veggie breakfast, it was cooked just right. Many places either cook the vegies too long or not long enough. So I was impressed when I didn't have any complaint. Price is a 2 thumbs up, coffee is better than Ihop! Parking is so convenient, servers are attentive. read more

Went here for the first time ever living across the street for a few years! The place is great. ALWAYS mad packed in the weekends and sometimes you might have to wait to get a spot. But worth it. Even though they have a second lot for parking it's hard to get parking. During the week it's open very early and nice and quiet. read more

I've found my new favorite breakfast place in Chicago in the wake of Dillmans untimely closing. Diner? Check. Perfectly cooked hash browns (crispy, but still slightly chewy)? Check. Fresh Avacado for my omelet? Check. Willing to accommodate a fussy customer who likes a skillet with ingredients in the kitchen, but not necessarily on the menu? HUGE check. Friendly service? Check. The only knock I could say about this place after two visits thus far is that they can be a little slow to refill the drinks, but if that is the worst thing you have to deal with for a reasonably priced, high quality breakfast in Chicago, you'll endure. Plus, the waits have been super short on my visits (a Saturday morning and Sunday morning), though I'm sure their other location is more crowded. Thanks for a great meal Cozy Corner; I'll be back soon! read more

My usual breakfast place. Everything I've had has been excellent. Try their Reese's pancakes. I didn't trust them at first but they're 10 times better than chocolate chip pancakes could ever be. Great service. Your food comes super quickly and the waitresses are so friendly. The coffee is pretty average and the hash browns are a little greasy but it's the perfect diner food. My friend and I go here about 3 times a week and our bill is never more than $25 for both of us even if we get milkshakes. Delicious, dependable, and friendly. The perfect Chicago diner. read more

I have ordered from this location countless times as long I have lived in the neighborhood. I always order from their app, rather than Uber Eats, as I want them to get as much money as possible. Today I ordered a julienne salad and received confirmation that the order would be delivered around 1:30. At 2:00, I called to question the status of the order (not my first time having to do this; actually it's not even the third time I've had to do this). I was told it was on the way. At 2:30, the order still wasn't delivered and called again. This time I was told the salad had been ready and they were waiting on a driver. The woman I spoke with said they do not use their own drivers and that the app manages that. I hung up and called Chow Now, who manages the app and asked to cancel the order (the woman at the restaurant told me this was the only way to cancel). I received quite a surprise when the man on the phone apologized and that *the restaurant* manages their own deliveries, so Chow Now had nothing to do with that aspect. So not only do the offer terrible service, but they are also liars. The food is decent enough, but nowhere near worth dealing with all the negatives. read more

This is the best place to go for a quick bite. They have great service, even though it's always packed. The waitresses are very nice. Food comes out so fast! This place has become me and my boyfriends spot for early morning breakfast. Not all cozy corners are the same. Refer to my last review on the on in Oak Park. Do yourself a favor and go here over all other locations. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is an awesome place for breakfast. I'm a regular here and have tried just about everything on their menu, I've also brought friends here for breakfast who request that we go there whenever they are in town. The prices are good, better if you get there M-F before 9am ($3.49 for some of their breakfasts) and they have all day breakfast and lunch specials. The staff is great, the food is delicious, and it's always inviting. Parking in their main lot can be hit or miss, but they opened a new lot just East of them. It also can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but the wait is never too long. I highly recommend going here as I'm sure it'll become one of your favorite breakfast restaurants. read more

Very good Mexican diner. Old fave's like huevos rancheros and chilaquiles done right. Esp love the huevos rancheros verde...spicy and incredibly good! Ask for a side of warm fresh tortillas cause you'll need them. Plus, they have some good options for kids like the buttermilk pancakes, crepes, and waffles. The place is big so dont be scared off by the line...it goes fast. Friendly staff and good coffee make it a good option for sunday breakfast/brunch. read more

I have been to Cozy Corner a few times and I have to say that I truly like the staff and the food! I have only had one item I didn't like from them and it was the corn beef, I didn't know it was going to be hot and I just wanted a nice corn beef on rye unheated...smile, but what made me like this place is, when I told them I didn't like it the manager came over told me she was sorry and my waitress came back so I could order something else! To some that may seem like a duh moment but trust I have been to places that make you feel like you just asked for their first born because you didn't like something that was sat in front of you, but not Cozy Corner they were great! They restroom was clean and that is something that is very important to me! The coffee is addicting and the food is fabulous if you are in the area I say try them out! They do get busy so if you have a large group know you may have a small wait but it is well worth it...you will do a happy dance, I know I did!! read more

Not the tastiest food but pretty decent. I definitely don't see why the long wait sometimes but I'm assuming it's because there's really no other breakfast spot around . Double check your phone orders ! And I have patience when calling in. read more

Horrible service Literally have to be chasing them too get my order right. I was given waffles & then had too wait 10 mins to get my syrup.. Waiter brought Glass of water at the end of our meals, when we requested it since our arrival... Needs better management. read more

So happy that this place is getting the great reviews that it deserves! Professional and friendly staff, super clean environment, yummy diner food. This place is not for when you want a fancy-pants breakfast to take your girlfriends for mimosas. This is a solid spot for a good ole regular breakfast, and everyone needs one of those. Thanks for being mine, CC! read more

I ate here twice with a friend I regularly meet on Thursdays at 11:30am. We had a bit of a wait-- 10 min or so each time-- not bad. The food was satisfactory considering it's modestly priced, and promptly served. The main issue here we experienced was that they were busy and both times we were asked to leave when we were finished eating so they could seat other patrons at our booth. The second time, we had only been seated for 35 minutes and our plates had just been cleared. I understand their need to turn tables over but I thought that was too quick considering we waited for our booth and to be served. That said, my friend and I will find a different place for our Thursday meetings-- somewhere we can sip our coffee and have a conversation without being pushed out. read more

Cozy Corner is one of my family's go-to restaurants. Consistent service and consistent quality food.

I pass by Cozy Corner roughly once or a twice a month in order to go to Walmart and finally when passing it this time my wife and I stopped in with hopes of grabbing some food prior to going to Walmart... Parking The lot fits a large amount of vehicles and I was lucky enough to get a spot near the front door but I imagine it being a frustrating situation finding parking at times but it appears the place is popular. Greeting The man who seated us greeted us nicely and asked us if we wanted a booth or table and when we answered table he seemed baffled at first but nothing serious and he then sat us an went about his business. Menu I watch food network with my wife often and one thing I hear from professionals when they are helping a restaurant their biggest complaint is the menu and this place is a prime example of that. The menu is roughly 5 pages not including the insert with the specials... Wide variety of breakfast items which proved to be over whelming and the lunch and dinner menu was just as bad... I mean do you really need to have stir-fry on your menu? Nah this is Chicago, leave that to the Asian restaurants... Staff Okay so basically i looked over there entire menu twice which means a lot since that menu is huge and no one... Not one waitress stopped by to say anything... No water or beverage order and no indication that we even had a waitress... They had about 12-15 servers working and the place was half empty but none the less no service... I did see two waitresses nearby talking about how slow it was this day and how bored they are... Guess I was not in their station area therefore they will not help out anyone who has my section... My waitress finally passed by quickly with her hands full and told us to wait a moment... My wife and I were content with that but then 5 more minutes passed by and finally we just got up and left... As we were leaving the host asked if everything was okay and I told him no it was not and explained to him that the service is horrible... He said sorry and we left... The food is probably good as it smelled good but without a solid staff more people will have issues with this restaurant. The owners need to talk to their waitresses about making the customer happy... read more

My Husband and I are regulars here, going on 7 years and though sometimes it can be very busy the staff ALWAYS take very good care of their customers. Unfortunately I can not say the same for some customers! I have witnessed customers be very rude to the staff, curse at them, throw the buzzer at them and even tried to be abusive all because of the wait time. When a restaurant is very good overall...yes it gets packed and their is alway a wait time. Some people need to learn patience. Although everyone is in title to their opinion, before you write a review be the bigger person and say the TRUTH! This passed Sunday another customer was so RUDE to Alex who was just doing his job and made an honest mistake. When he realized that he made a mistake he kindly apologized to my husband and I and was very professional. Both my husband and I understood and told Alex no worries we will wait, we know it's busy. The gentleman took the buzzer and through it at Alex yelling saying why is he seating us first when he has been their. Alex kept his composer, tried to explain and apologize that he had made a mistake and the gentlemen walked away and sat on the counter. NOT at any point did Alex say to him we were regulars!!!!! You assumed we were due to all the servers coming up to us and saying hello and how are we doing. Being a Loyal customer for 7 years we have developed a relationship with all the servers, cashiers and manager. When I saw the gentlemen complaining to Marisol the manager about Alex, I just could not ALLOW him to get away with it! Marisol was very professional like always and indicated to the gentleman she apologizes for his inconvenience. He continued to say he was writing a bad review on yelp. Word of advice...STOP COMPLAINING AND LEARN PATIENCE OR BETTER YET TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED...PERIOD!!!! read more

Fast and friendly service. Good food. Very affordable. Casual atmosphere. What else can you ask for in a breakfast diner? I missed their parking lot the first time I went and I can't remember why. But parking in this area isn't a problem - you can easily park on one of the side streets. read more

I really liked this place! We went for an early breakfast. The staff was SO nice and attentive. I overheard the server next to us tell her table to be patient because she saw how the eggs turned out and wasn't satisfied so she had the kitchen re-make her eggs! I just thought that was nice and thoughtful. The food was good - we got skillets. I mean.. can you really go wrong with hashbrowns, meat, and eggs in a skillet? I don't think so. Really large space. I'd return here for sure. read more

Even though it was busy as hell the servers and team worked together to get things done and done correctly. Great job and great food guys!

Love this place! Now that they have an extra parking lot I am def going back more. The service has always been great and the food is always on point. I always get either an omlette or the skillet (meat lovers skillet is my fav!). I also like that the waitress/waiter always keeps the coffee coming while you are there. The location itself is super clean which I like. Just be ware that on Sat/ Sunday mornings it gets really crowded so be prepared to wait or just come in early (before 10am). Enjoy!! read more
