while visiting family in Chicago stopped here. bistro burger was da bomb! great coffee and they have pastries that are out of this world!

I love this breakfast place! The food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. The first dish I ordered was the shrimp and grits, and I was really impressed by how good it was. Since then, I've been coming here regularly. I also recommend the lox bagel, skillets, sweet crepes, and the steak and eggs. The pancakes with coconut and macadamia nuts are a must-try from the menu. The coffee is good too. I highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered Nutella Crepes and Eggs & Corned Beef Hash. Not bad but they cut corners. Based on the texture, crepes are not made-to-order fresh and corned beef hash most likely premade in a can. At least the fruits were ripe and eggs were properly cooked. My friend liked his country fried steak and I tried another friend's Mexican Omelette and that had good flavor. Good portions and service. I like the clean and large interior space. Quality is hardly above average but it's a decent go-to neighborhood spot. read more

Such a cute brunch spot! We were seated immediately. We both got the lemon berry capone pancakes. Pancakes were so fluffy and came with so many fresh berries topped with lemon mascarpone cheese and yummy raspberry sauce. Absolutely devoured every bite. read more

I met up with my bud for a weekday lunch at Cozy Corner recently. This relatively new Cozy Corner is on Pulaski a block north of Irving Park, and the wall art acknowledges this location. There is a parking lot surrounding the restaurant too. We were seated at a cozy booth. We both ordered lunch combos with entree, side and soft drink for $13.99 plus tax. I went with the California Melt, while my bud ordered the Tuna Melt Supreme. We both chose fries as the side item, and the crinkle cut potatoes come out unsalted (you can also order soup or fruit as the side). My Cali Melt was stacked with chicken, avocado, bacon, cheese and tomato. Our attentive and pleasant server was happy to give us refills on our soft drinks and water. read more

Got corned beef hash skillet, chilaquiles, and pancakes with side of turkey sausage. The food was great, the server was very nice, and the place itself was clean and classy. I wouldve given 5 stars but the pancakes at ellys beat cozy by a mile(sorry). Either way I highly recommend and will be back. read more

My favorite indulgent breakfast is the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. 830am on a Monday, not exactly peak time. Restaurant was spotless. Bathroom clean and well maintained. Service was quick and friendly. Oh yes the food, hot delicious and perfect. You want a great breakfast? This place, they nail it every time! read more

We had a really nice Sunday visit here a few weeks back. Having the parking lot is great there too. The menu is enormous, portion sizes were right, and service was nice but little distracted. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, which was really flavorful and loaded with a lot of great stuff. The order of fries that came with it was so large and practically had its own area code. I was a big fan of that. Soda wise they have Pepsi products, not Coke. The chilaquiles were also good but there was an issue where they gave us the wrong salsa, but it was still tasty as it just not something you can undo without throwing out the food which we didn't want to happen. Overall, a nice down to earth spot for food. We will definitely be back. read more

Excellent place for breakfast. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, and the restaurant is spotless. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing great service throughout.

The food was delicious the meat lovers skillet, pancakes, and cafe latte with oat milk was everything. My party also enjoyed their food we will definitely return. Roger' was phenomenal and checked on our table periodically. The restaurant was clean and noise level was great too. read more

Came in on Sunday morning and it was very busy but the staff worked fast to turn people around. Don't leave if you see a line, hoping they get the app up soon that lets you see wait times. Service was great overall and food was also really good! It's more elevated diner food, much better than other diners I've been to. I tried the sweet heat sandwich & it was almost like a burger. It was delicious. And then also tried the homemade horchata- so good! My husband got the carnitas skillet with pancakes and a coffee. He really enjoyed his as well. Food was brought out surprisingly quick. Will be coming back! read more

Cozy Corner - Old Irving - Sweet Heat Breakfast Sandwich & Carnitas Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of the only restaurants to make their sausage gravy in house. It's great. Their hashbrowns are actually seasoned, and their pancakes are fluffy and delicious. So, glad they opened in my neighborhood. We came in on two different occasions, once on a super busy weekend morning, but the space is large and the cooks are fast. We were seated immediately and had fantastic service throughout. read more

We got seated in the back of the restaurant by an exit door and it was cold (0° outside). There were other seats in the diner that were available to be seated at so I'm unsure why we were seated here. Our server was decent, but could have come back to check a few more times as we ran out of water & by the time she came back we were all done with our meal. The food came out quickly which was nice since we had two hungry children. Whatever was on the griddle made most of the food have that same (unpleasant imo) taste, therefore I did not eat most of my meal. The prices were okay. read more

The food was amazing, very delicious. The coffee there is also great. The service was fast. The ambiance was cute and the interior was clean. read more

Great food and great service. Lots of parking available. Lots of space inside and don't feel as crammed versus the Milwaukee location. Only gripe is the place is FREEZING. read more

They close at 3 PM. I walked in at 2:40 PM. The first waitress walked by me with the ugliest and meanest frown on her face. Then came the second one same thing. I was simply going to order a bowl of soup to go. There was a tall guy behind the counter. I'm guessing he was the manager. He backed them up on that. Also I won't spend my money where businesses don't deserve it. read more

I love this new location! Brand new restaurant, we got seated right away, and food came out fast and tasty Kat took excellent care of us! this is definitely our new breakfast spot ! read more

I'm a little late on posting this comment. I went in like 2 weeks ago and totally forgot to post a comment but I enjoyed our experience that I have had it in my brain that I needed to post a comment.... We truly enjoyed our visit to Cozy Corner Restaurant. Kat, our server, was friendly, attentive, and did a wonderful job making us feel welcomed. I wanted eggs Benedict and usually go traditional but was curious on the other options offered so I asked the server for a recommendation... she recommended the carnitas eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious--an excellent choice. My mother and sister also enjoyed their breakfast. This was my first time visiting this location, but it certainly won't be my last (I will definitely order that carnitas egg Benedict again.). Both our server and the busboy were very friendly, and the food not only looked great but tasted amazing as well. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we look forward to coming back (food quality and quantity was great for the price). We appreciated that we were greeted as soon as we entered and also the manager and server both thanked us for coming on the way out. In a time we're customer service seems to be lacking in the service industry, this restaurant is doing it correctly and we truly appreciated the hospitality. Thank you. See you soon. read more

This is my neighborhood restaurant that I have been going to consistently the past few months. Today I was served raw chicken and only noticed halfway through eating. As an immunocompromised person, this is horrific. The manager offered a measly free sandwich coupon as an apology. Do better, Cozy Corner. read more

I ordered the steak & eggs, it was great! The service is fantastic and the place is clean and bright.

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday. I would give this restaurant 7 stars if I could. Service, food, pricing and menu are all EXCELLENT! Thank you to the owners and staff for doing a fantastic job. We will be back often. read more

Really good food. The Gypsy Skillet was delish. Santa Fe salad was wonderful, with very fresh green lettuce (many times the lettuce is light color/not fresh). This place gets it right and understands quality. Selena was an amazing server. We came late in the day and she was helpful and honest about best choices. Would highly, highly recommend. read more

Feels like home but I don't have to cook.... And actually, the food's even better! My Son, Jon, Wife Lauren and I are regular customers also introducing family and friends to the pleasant neighborhood environment and friendly staff. Kat's welcome greeting and enthusiastic help with menu ideas are a large contribution to the "Cozy Corner" feel. From my observations, all these positive elements are orchestrated by the watchful Manager who moves around the diners, greeting with his own warm professionalism and attention to service needs. Great job, Cozy Corner! Kathy, Jon and Lauren read more

We have been here twice so far since they've opened and the experience has been beyond excellent! We brought a baby here too, and the staff was so good to her professional and inviting staff, hard working, they run a very clean and organized business.

I had a great experience during my visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out just the way I expected. On top of that, our waitress was incredibly attentive--she checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and was kind without being overbearing. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and excellent service. I'd definitely come back! read more

The pancakes and maple syrup is my favorite. I've ordered the corn beef hash twice in a row and it is still so good. I want to try other things on the menu. read more

Mm* Mm* *sigh* It was definitely not a good experience for me. Being invited and later UNINVITED and PRESSURED to LEAVE my cozy corner by the manager ELLEN, was not as embarrassing for me as I had thought it would be. I knew this day would come. Be at all that time as Americans who are tossed out by those who don't understand what it means to pay a price for freedom. Father, mother, sister, brother, all marched in their graduation gowns heads bowed in prayer there, etc. So when Angus refused to let me pay, then Ellen threw away all of their goodwill over an issue with a spoon on the floor, perhaps, 'twas true my guys in blue who showed up and shot the manager's glare down, though Angus kept his frown (after the Ellen episode, who can blame him?). And it was Ellen, who did keep my receipt which I requested for tax purposes because it was Angus, who had offered to pay for coffee and toast (complete breakfast) for me in the first place most generously with his frown that day. And if you recall, it was always the lesson which I learned long ago that I must pay a price for all things in life included my breakfast, which was perhaps about $10 including tax and tip. I only asked for the receipt to prove to my accountant that I paid for my breakfast: Coffee and toast, but calmly left with nothing. No food no receipt no invitation back no kindness no smile no grits in a bag with a spoon no.Kat and the DISINVITATION and promise that I must never ever come back again. Service with a smile is always appreciated and Kat is a leader worthy of her title who deserves a raise. And perhaps a promotion. However, I would be remiss if I did not mention the kitchen ambiance. Cooks who do not smell good while they cook food leave a bad taste in the mouth of the patron. He... perhaps he and his crew lead a quiet rebellion in the back. But whatever it was that drove them to add a most putrid smelling yellow version of the same classic cleaner is one that this 58-year old woman has never heard of before. Good luck with the putrid smell. As for the rest, read the article about the solution to the prairie grass problem in your parking lot...meanwhile see pics down below read more

Cozy Corner lives up to its name! There are plenty of booths as well as tables and a counter. It's spacious so you don't feel crowded and there's parking. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. You can really relax here and take your time visiting with your friends. I enjoyed their grilled cheddar cheese sandwich on sour dough bread with a generous serving of crinkle cut fries. It's a bargain - and I added crisp bacon, cooked just the way I like it. They have good coffee that they keep offering to refill. I like their cappuccinos. The restaurant and bathrooms are modern and clean. The staff help create that homey atmosphere that's like a real diner! They are accommodating and have a full menu of breakfast and lunch items. My husband liked the chicken & waffles. This restaurant is worth a visit. I've already been back twice! read more

Food was really good. I had the meatlover's skillet. Service was nice. Nina was so nice! Very peaceful setting.

Always great food & great service from Selena! Love all the skillets here and the lemon blueberry Capone pancakes were awesome!

Food is fine. Typical diner/restaurant faire. Service is good, place is clean. My gripe is that it's really expensive. Breakfast skillet with 2 eggs, toast & coffee will run you $30. read more

New cozy corner in the neighborhood. A friend told us to try chilaquiles which were good but the lemon berry pancakes were exceptional. Ask for Kat she is one of the most pleasant servers I have ever had. Also have homemade bakery. We tried the peanut butter rice krispy treat delicious read more
