This is the second time my husband has picked up take out and the food was horrible. Really sad with so little choice in town but I won't be going back. read more

We ate at the one in Paradise, the waitress was on the job, never had to look or ask for anything. The Santa Barbara burger was freakin amazing. This comes from a burger aficionado. The taco salad my friend had was huge and she said was as good as it looked. We will definitely be back. Everything tasted very fresh. You can tell everyone working there and was on the same page to make sure our dinning experience was the best. read more

Like the Mexican options. Been twice in past month & both servers were very helpful .

I am new to Paradise. I have eaten at the Cozy Diner a few times and nothing was outstanding. The food is expensive and very mediocre at best in quality. Most of the food is instant crap. The Hollandaise Sauce is instant and disgusting, just like their gravies. The fresh baked pies appear to have no fresh fruit; all canned pie fillings. There is no menu for lighter fare and fewer-calorie food options. There are no breakfast offerings that are reasonably priced. They have a Kid's Menu but offer no Senior Citizen Menu. They do not offer senior or military discounts. The business owner and female morning manager are both greedy, money-grubbing individuals that don't care about their senior customers. Most customers in Paradise are seniors and veterans. They used to give seniors free coffee, tea, or a soft drink with any meal purchase, but unfortunately they have very recently eliminated that senior perk. They seem to keep raising their prices, while senior and military pensions have not increased. The facility interior decor is very old, tacky, and disgusting and is a far cry from "cozy". The carpet needs to be replaced as it stinks horribly. The gray-colored walls and trim are dirty and so depressing. The interior lighting is a disaster and makes the food look awful and unappetizing, and once tasted you will agree. The fake stone waterfall, that will never work again, is also very tacky and should be demolished. The restrooms are always filthy, which is a "prime indicator" of how dirty and unclean the kitchen and prep area probably is. I intend never to eat there again. As more restaurant venues open in Paradise, I predict the Cozy Diner will go out of business. I would give the Cozy Diner zero stars if I could. Stay away from the Cozy Diner. There are much better places to eat in Paradise that have exceptional food quality, much more interior ambiance, and that are much more affordable and reasonably priced!!! The Cozy Diner sucks!!! read more

You're back in Paradise for a day before you head away for Winter Break. You're hungry. You want coffee. Your friends feel the same. There's cozy diner. The waitress that day was nice and got us a nice seat. She also got us coffee within seconds. Long story short, I had too much refill. The omlette I ordered was, dare I say, lit. The potatoes that came with it ensured I was full the whole day. The atmosphere is also cozy. Huh, it's also a diner. A cozy diner. read more

Good local diner with a full menu. Food is tasty and service is friendly and fast. They have beer and wine available. There is a multi stage dinner with several items to include dessert for a great price. read more

Paradise had fresher food, not fresh frozen vegetables like in chico. Has better hash browns, home fries, and just a better place!!! They also have Chile Verde, and a buffet fri, sat, sunday! Thank you for doing what you do! Waitstaff, owners, cooks, and all ancillary staff!!!!!! read more

Usually love this place but today sucked! Waitress acted like we were waisting her time when we ordered service was lousy. Food came out my steak was over cooked to the point it was tough as shoe leather... Think I'll go back to driving the 13 miles to the Chico location better service and food! read more

Used to eat here regularly but the food and ESPECIALLY the service has deteriorated to the point we no longer even consider going here any longer. Kinda sad since there are few good places to eat in Paradise read more

I come here a lot for lunch and its been a 3 star experience! Tonight was horrible, bad service and mile high Sandwich was disaster!!! After the waitress basically forgot about me and then refused to take the sandwich off my check,that I tried to eat but it was absent of flavor had to get the manager and he only removed it because of Yelp Do not come here for Dinner read more

Cozy Diner - The Mile High better name Mile Dry Turkey and tasteless mashed and gravy What you can Not see is my server or the drunk manager - Diners Near Me - Paradise, California

On my last visit, I ordered the "broasted" chicken. One piece of chicken tasted awful and, upon further investigation, it was obviously a spoiled piece of meat. I told the waitress, who just got me another piece. The worst part was that she did not seem surprised. I didn't think this was a small thing since spoiled chicken could make someone really sick. There was no apology, no visit to the table from the manager, nothing comped on our check. I had stomach issues later. I wonder how many other people ate spoiled chicken that day? read more

I go here sometimes and it is pretty good. But today I had their fish and chips for the first time. It was the worst fish and chips that I have ever had. The portion was about an inch and a quarter in diameter but the fish inside was about three eights of an inch in diameter. It was all breading and not crispy but soggy as were half of the fries. read more

Usually we get quick and efficient service, but the food can be a hit or miss affair. The fried chicken is always good, but the mash potatoes kind of sucked. All in all - decent portion size for the money & a good family restaurant. The all-you-can eat buffet is usually a good deal. read more

Good Service, Free Wifi, Medium good food. Had the chicken Ciabatta special first time here the onion rings were good the chicken was a bit a dry. Also had a pie (great pie). read more

ok, so we went to Cozy Diner for the buffet breakfast on Sunday. We are kinda new to Paradise but we had eaten here before and it was ok. The food is good and the buffet has lots to chose from. I just feel like we are herded in and herded out. Why are all the servers in a hurry? So we ordered buffet with no directions from our server. She knew how to take the order and write it down...... but without telling us where the buffet is and where we get a plate?? Finally she whisks by our table and I asked ?? So the happy hubby was now on his way to the infamous buffet. While I waited on my egg order, didn't come the way I ordered...... oh well. Sent back and the eggs came back to me the way I ordered them. The food and drink was good. read more

I went there to pick up some chicken to go, I got the family deal. When I got home 7minutes later, we noticed the mashed potatoes were hard and dry. It seems we got some old potatoes. We ended up feeding the potatoes to the worms. The chicken and the coleslaw was delicious as always but I won't order the family deal ever again. read more

Their breakfast is good, and general dining room same. But the buffet on weekends, which has different meat, is served in an area lacking proper food handling from what we saw.. Plates were stacked on cart shelves about 2ft off the floor level, food was sitting (without any covering) on something next to the hot meat cart in very back, some of the meat on the buffet line was completely dried out/very difficult to cut with a knife? The food handling is not very good, and the decor is just about awful. It felt like some some run down unkempt cafeteria. On brighter note, the main diner with burgandy booths/tables is fine. read more

Chicken was good. my veggies were warm at best. Veggies were dry and flavorless. Service person was great ,busser complained about the cashier and another server complained about customers, in the middle of the floor as they passed by us. VERY unprofessional and disrespectful. Not likely to return. read more

Average., used to buy the chocolate pies here and they just aren't the same anymore. Try jello pudding? Lol still come here often, staff has been nice. read more

Love Cozi Diner for breakfast on weekends. The Harris Ranch steak and eggs breakfast is my favorite.

I'm from Los Angeles, I came to visit my brother and his family. I took his kids out to the Cozy Diner. I said you pick! Anywhere you want to go I'll take you. So we ordered. Service was great. Drinks filled I ordered a turkey burger with the sautéed mushrooms and I think Monterey Jack cheese. OMFG...it's been a week and I'm still thinking about that turkey burger! It was so good! I couldn't believe it. The kids ordered chicken strips and a bacon cheeseburger. Ate it all! Then to desert! Strawberry shortcake, chocolate shake, and cherry pie heated! It was so good. Thank you. I will be back for that turkey burger... read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots! The hash browns are always prepared to perfection! The breakfast burrito is all the best things in a huge tortilla! Mmmm read more

Im giveing it a 5 stars cause i really love the place and the staff and all so the food i love going here 2 to 3 times a week

Standard diner fare. It was good, but nothing spectacular. I'll go there again in the future, but would also like to try out the other dinners in town. read more

The food, the service and the management are all awesome at this diner. I am in town working and thought I would try this place out for dinner and sure glad I did. I had the Captains Platter and omg the fish is delicious and the shrimp was great. The baked potato was wonderful with bacon and cheese. Speedy service never an empty glass at the table and the manager came by twice to make sure everything was ok. Then you get a free slice of pie on Tuesday!!!! Didn't really have room for it but it was so good I at it anyways. I don't give 5 stars often but they deserve it. read more

One of my first welcoming greetings to "Paradise". Thank you Renee & Fransisco for the friendly smiles and service. I'll be back for dinner, and my husband will like the menu I'm sure. Left the beach to come to Paradise in the Pines read more

I absolutely love this place. It is a bit pricey but amazing food. Love the staff and they know me. I bring everyone I know there.

My boyfriend and I came here to grub because we were very hungry, we both ordered burgers with seasoned fries and it was so delicious!!!!! The seasoned fries impressed me, they were way better than Denny's fries and I LOVE Denny's fries. Their milkshakes could use some work, bigger cups would be nice. But other than that it was super great and I will be coming back for more food. read more

Great place for consistent food. Typical diner menu, breakfast all day - and all of it is very basic/standard. The staff is friendly, but the service can be slow. The pies are good, but I recommend staying home and making your own chocolate pie!! Theirs is not impressive. Banana Cream though, delicious! read more

Don't get the buffet. The eggs were all dried up due to being under hot lights too long. The bacon was also dried up and too tough to chew. $10 for food that I couldn't eat. I'll never come back to this place again. read more

Having moved to Paradise from the "big city", I was amazed at the food you get for the price you pay at Cozy's. A whole pie for eight bucks? It's definitely old school with a lot of "old" people who eat there, but that's fine...I'm sure those on a fixed budget find it affordable as a place they can go for a dinner out. Families with children, too, and a kid's dinner for 99 cents! Breakfasts are great, the waitresses friendly, the staff helpful. Lots of choices on the menu - it is what it aspires to be - a down home diner and a Paradise icon for sure! Somehow can't imagine Paradise without Cozy's. It's a town staple. read more

As far as diners go, Cozy in Paradise is very nice. I don't eat out much, but this is my go-to spot. The staff is always very attentive and friendly, the service is quick and they have plenty of food options and fresh pie. I recommend the Harris Ranch steak which I usually get with their build-your-own menu for 9.99 served all day (but you may have to ask for it if before diner time). You may even recognize the place from the movie Stolen Innocence that was shot there in '95. But it wasn't called Cozy back then, but you will recognize the waterfall fountain in the background. The Chico location is nice too, but this place has an actual grill for the steaks. read more

Worst place ever! My friends and I ate here last week and it wasn't very busy. We waited almost five minutes until being greated and sat. Waitresses saw us, but never tried to help. I wanted to try the lumber jack burger or something close called that. It was suppose to have two patties, if i remember 1/3 lb each, cheese, fries, and onion rings. I asked for medium well. We got our food almost twenty minutes later. The burger patties were not 1/3 lb and did not look anything like the picture in the menu. My meat was well done and you could tell it was frozen patties. I only could eat two bites and no more, the fries were also cold. The other food my group received was also cold and could not eat it. I will not ever go here again and I do not recommend eating here. Poor service, horrible food, and not a good time. read more

The place is run by the same mexican family like several other of their restaurants in town no difference the same bland terrible food there's not much competition so why make it better you have few choices and I saw the kitchen omg typical mexican kitchen absolutely filthy nasty nasty yuk read more

We love Cozy's huge menu, the traditional diner atmosphere and especially their business hours. Not everyone goes to bed at 9pm -- even in Paradise. I know it's hard to believe but it's true. read more

Nice people, good food, friendly staff. I'm a regular and, with so many diners in towmpn would not be if they didn't treat me right. I recommend it. read more

We had a good breakfast at this restaurant with my wife's siblings. I am glad my brother-in-law suggested that I get the hash browns extra crispy. Good bacon, but a little bit fatty. Eggs were perfect. Very good coffee. The pies looked awful tempting, but I guess they would not go with breakfast. I will have to insist on lunch here the next time I am in Paradise so I can try some of their pie. Very good service. Parking is adequate. read more

My Husband an I were recently in the Paradise/Magalia area looking for a new home and our realtor recommended the Cozy Diner for lunch. As soon as we walked in I fell in love.. I am from a small town in the Midwest and it was like being back home again. It is a large restaurant that has a huge menu and a nice buffet which we had. Everything tasted homemade. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were delicious and yes the desserts looked amazing but II was to full to eat any. The waitress was great. The prices were very reasonable. We are heading up again in a couple of weeks and will definitely eat there again. read more

Check out their weekend all you can eat buffet. Not a big selection, but the selection includes two types of chicken, ribs, fish, salad bar, and more. Excellent food and worth every penny. read more

Great Food. Great Service. They really take care of their customers. Never had a bad meal there and everyone I have taken as always been very pleased. read more
