Paradise Cozy Diner is really much nicer in Paradise vs Chico, service is friendlier too. The hamburger was okay but the breakfast was wonderful, you guys need good fries not these frozen crappy crispy fries, what ever happened to good old style french fries! With a little seasoning, salt? Ah the good old days..... read more

I had the cranberry chicken salad and was it a tough chew. My companion's patty melt looked forboding to say the best I can. He is an eater and left part of the thing on his plate. The place has an unwelcoming odor. I will say our server did a good job. read more

Hello my wife & I are glad the Cozy Diner returned after the Camp Fire. We ate there this past Saturday. The service was friendly and prompt. Though later that morning we were feeling sick this lasted for two days. With repetitive trips to the bathroom. We have eaten at Cozy a number of times & enjoy the people & food. We think there needs to be more attention in the kitchens sanitary activities. O read more

Been here quite a few times, and it's hit or miss depending on the day. The last time I went here, they served me a flat soda and a burger that was still pink on the inside. I'm still alive though :) The prices are good, and the portions big. Seating is comfortable for groups. It's the only diner in town, so...I guess everything evens out. read more

Although we did not take my dad to Cozy Diner, my mom did take us. Super good food. Our 16 yo Grandson cleaned his plate. We did hear a neighbor booth had an issue with his food, the Server immediately offered new meal which he seemed to be happy with. Great place. read more

We hadn't been back in years, and just a few times since the fire. It keeps improving, the food is good, and the folks working there are friendly. The prices and portions are great, especially compared to the drive thru across street, where they want $6 for a postage stamp-sized biscuit with egg on it. Worth another visit to Cozy! read more

We have our birthday ladies luncheons here quite a bit. They have an extensive menu, reasonably priced and the food is good! Oh and parking is good also. read more

The food is so bad, we took a few bites and walked out. We had their meatloaf. It was uneatable. Really bad. Anyone who thinks this is good food has no taste buds. Tastes like something out of a can - a garbage can. DON'T EAT HERE. read more

Every time I have eaten at Cozy Diner the food is low grade and always tastes like a greasy spoon that someone shoved in a toilet. I'd rather eat air and die of starvation than spend another day expecting that place to ever get better. read more

Found a hair in my breakfast this morning. They never offered a refund. All they said was sorry. Lost a customer that ate here regularly. People check your food please. read more

Food is mediocre. Service is great. Ambiance Zero. We have been coming here since 2016. Their broasted chicken is my favourite but last week I ordered it and it's not as delicious as before the CampFire. read more

Food was really good. My dad and I shared the captains platter and still brought home leftovers. Service was GREAT! Little blonde named Michelle. She was very attentive and had an amazing personality! She kept us laughing and kept our drinks full. Would definitely recommend! read more

So happy to see Paradise coming back. I had the French Dip, and it was great! The service was perfect. My only complaint was I think that was the smallest piece of cake a restaurant has ever served. It was 6 bucks. Just thought that was a bit high. I did give 5 stars because it was so good. read more

Cozy Diner - a piece of chocolate cake in a styrofoam container - Diners Near Me - Paradise, California

The fried chicken was hot but found some black hair in the mashed potatoes, didn't refill water...waitress Tracy said it was mine. Probably won't come again. read more

I suppose if you can't cook and you don't have any tastebuds, perhaps this is the place for you. However, for everyone else, it's a no go. I honestly don't understand how they are still in business. The food tastes like something I would imagine out of an institution..bland, no seasoning, most likely out of a can or frozen. Fresh is NOT on the menu here. I realize choices are limited in Paradise, but do yourself a favor and just NO. Try the Paddy Wagon, the Thai place, Nics, or ANYWHERE but Cozy read more

Always looked to go on Monday evenings between 6-8pm to listen to the live music in the bar seating area. Didn't really have a big appetite so I ordered a chicken enchilada made on a floor tortilla... A la carte. Simple. First one I had was awesome, just enough to fill me up and not too expensive. Washed it down with a beer. Second time... Wanted the thing... They were out of floor tortillas, so I had strips and fries. Greasyt but filling as all French fries and deep fried chicken strips are. Third time I wanted the a la carte enchilada and got told the waitress got in trucks because they cut a full size tortilla in half, make the enchilada and throw away the remaining 1/2. Who does that? They won't make it anymore so, we eat before we go there, save a bunch of money and take it own water with us to drink. That 1/2 of a flour tortilla cost them $40 in sales. How they like them more than happy customers. read more

We love Cozy diner! We usually sit in the bar area, and the service there is fantastic. Food is standard diner food, and nice quick hot meal. I've been multiple times and nothing has ever been wrong with the food or service. Great pricing, kids eat cheap, and the cakes and pies are delicious. read more

The food here is great and the atmosphere inside is also good. The servers were very nice to us as well, i recommend coming here!

The place was clean, the staff were on it, and very nice, did not have to ask twice for anything. Ummm the food, I had a Cobb salad they used some weird turkey that I had to remove, did not taste good. I ate a bit of the rest, also had half a can of black olives lol! The bad thing. I looooove broasted chicken. I ordered a 12 piece to take home. I was devouring a breast my favorite, it hit my stomach and right back out it came! Nothing to In dicate anything wrong with the chicken. No bad smell taste, etc. I had to throw the other 11 pieces out didn't trust it. This is really . Bad Chicken can make you hospital sick. read more

This morning is our second day in a row eating breakfast here. That should tell you something! First of all dining room is comfortable, seating areas are spacious and noise level is low. Service is friendly , the manager/hostess remembered us from yesterday. The menu is expansive (we want to come back again and try their lunch and dinner menu) and portions are huge!! We've ordered something different each day and everything has been delicious. No skimping in flavor or preparation. This is what a breakfast diner should be. Friendly and personable servers, fast service to table and amazing food. If you are in Paradise , CA and want a great breakfast experience, come here! read more

What a great place to stop for breakfast-with coffee and a good bloody Mary! Great omelette-good service -Nice ride from city! Really like the town and interactions of people-friendly town! read more

Great chicken and mashed potatoes. My husband had the liver and onions and his plate was cleaned! Coffee excellent and the over 65 dinners are great. Can't wait to come back for breakfast. The waitress was great, forgot her name but service was impeccable. read more

This review is based off of multiple trips to Cozy Diner. I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed every time I leave Cozy. The food is delicious, always brought out in a timely manner & what impressed us the most is the service. They have an amazing crew that all seem like they genuinely care about their job & the customer experience. Five stars to Cozy from my wife & I. read more

So much food for such little money!! Definitely a "what's for dinner?" Go to. The breakfast burritos, sandwiches, banana split are all10/10.

Good food and great pies !!! Good value and service is good too ! Breakfast is their best meals But luncheon are also good !

Excellent service and food The wait staff are friendly and customer oriented! Tracy's staff are the best read more

Large portions and delicious!! Great service. We will definitely be back-oh & the pie!

Food expensive and not necessarily outstanding. Place busy and more patrons arriving. Ordered: Salmon w veggies, $20+? White meat salmon. Diner thought saltier than warranted, somewhat dry. 2 Stars. Omelet $14+ supposedly vegetables missing in action, person who ordered it said not fluffy at all, took half to go, rested in the refrigerator for 2 days then, and I hate this part, tossed away. 1.5 Stars. Liver with sides, $15? 2 pieces, liver lover devoured it all, claiming this is one item hard to find in eateries, obviously a fan! If only for its uniqueness, deserving 4 Stars. Lumberjack special, $14.99? Bigger than Dennis. 2 ham, 2 sausage, 2 thicker bacon-semi burnt, salty. 2 Pancakes with butter, overly cooked hash browns-disappointing, 3 over medium eggs-hard to mess up and good. 3.5 Stars. Coconut slice pie, $4.99? Dense, not very skillful job. 2.5 Stars. Service very decent by the hands of wonderful "Flipper", tough and sweet all at the same time. 4.5 Stars. Coffee with refills 3.5 Stars. Water clean tasting. Total $70+ and a well earned gratuity. Chances of a fast return? None, thanks. 3 Stars read more

See all

The first time I came here, the food was good. I've given it a few more tries and it's been worse each time. Most recently, they burnt the wings, forgot to include ranch, gave french fries instead of the loaded potato I paid extra for, gave french fries instead of the seasoned fries ordered, and couldn't be bothered to caramilize the onions on the Frisco burger. The shrimp has to be frozen food, the chicken strips are extra thin and bland, the wings are way smaller than they used to be, and I think this is all the owner's fault. Despite emphasizing I was in no rush, they must've rushed their employees for so many mistakes to happen. Plus the noticeable changes in quality is the restaurant owner cutting costs on their end despite charging high prices. Will not return, and cant recommend read more

We ordered eight pieces of broasted chicken to go for the first time tonight and we're somewhat dissatisfied with it. The drumsticks and thighs were very good, but the two breasts were very dry and appeared to be overcooked. We are unsure about trying again and would appreciate input from others. read more

I will never go back here! I was served BLACK avocado 2 different times. The cooks are horrible. And I should mention the greasy disgusting eggs, or the undone hamburger panties. I tried to get ahold of ANY manager or even the OWNER and after 2 months of nothing i give up. I moved up here to take care of my aunt who is disabled, and that is the one place we could get a hot meal. And now I can't go there because they have absolutely no respect for their patrons. The worst part? He owns the hilltop diner in magella as well. And I left messages there and again no one could be bothered to call me back. ​ read more

Love cozy diner. Great food, great service and really nice people. Love going here with family when they come into town

This restaurant has great employees working for them. They are quick to seat you, take your drink order, then return for your meal order. No matter how busy they are or how many people in your party they always get your food out to you in record time. We have never had a bad meal here as they do have a great variety, something for everyone. read more

We've been looking at Paradise as a place to retire. After the fire the community is slowly coming back. We stopped in to have some breakfast at this spot and everything was amazing. Food was awesome, service was awesome... seriously one of the best dining experiences in some time. When we go back up there we will absolutely go back to Cozy Diner. read more

It is good... the potatoes were way over cooked with black on them... but the biscuit and gravy was amazing!!! It wasn't the worst or the best so I gave a three to match. read more

Love Cozy diner, prices, service and most importantly the food is quality!

Don't listen to those bogus reviews. Their food is your typical diner food and no they're not racists. . The owner and most of the employees are Mexican. Always great service. read more

Great food and excellent service!! Lots of menu choices. Prices are reasonable! We'll be back!

Since their return after the Pandemic, the quality of the food is not as good as before the Pandemic. I loved their chicken fried steak. The first time I tried it after re-opening, I could not eat the meat as it had been in the freezer too long and had a 'stale' taste to it. Their breakfasts are generally good and the service is always great! Last night I ordered a cheeseburger; they dumped the fries into the box on top of the burger which made the fries limp and ruined them. This was a pickup order. We still go there but not as often as before. read more

Tuesday night and was decided go out for dinner, went to the old local Cozy diner. Ordered our food, waitress was nice and courteous. Noticed customer come in with the Dog!! Since when do they allow dogs into restaurants.The only time they should allow dogs in is if its a guide dog for the blind. Complain to the management they didn't seem to care. Got up left my steak and shrimp sitting on the table and went to an establishment that doesn't allow dogs. I will not return to Cozy diner for this reason, they probably really don't care about my business anyway. But you can rest assured of one thing I will tell all my friends that they allow dogs and it is not a Sanitary place to eat. read more
