Great place to go for some good food at reasonable prices. There's a special every night and the food is always good. One of my go-tos. No stupid gimmicks, just good people and good service. read more

Dinner at the Cozy Inn provided the perfect ending to a lovely fall day (South Lyon Pumpkinfest/5k and apple picking at Erwin's Orchard). Pulling into the lot, the building gave off a great vibe of some wonderful little places I love up North. The dining area is small but nicely done with thoughtful touches and pleasant lighting. Flat screens allowed us to enjoy our beloved Wolverines which was a bonus. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Nice variety of craft beers on tap. The menu offers all your favorite craveables freshly prepared - pizza, wings, nachos, chicken tenders and fish & chips- and a few surprises- banger shrimp in a buffalo Thai sauce, corned beef sliders ($1.99) and chicken & waffles. But the star of the show has got to be the Cozy burger- a 1/3 lb Angus on a fantastic right sized brioche bun ($5.99) with shredded lettuce, tomato and little side tray of zesty condiments (including horseradish and jalapeños). You can customize your burger with an additional patty, cheese, bacon ($1) and fries ($2) or onion rings ($3). My son pounded his 2/3 lb with Swiss and excellent plentiful bacon. We both agreed that these were the best burgers we've had in a long time. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the area! read more

See all

Service was great - very friendly waitress, hood turnaround time for food & drinks. Casual and clean. Saturday night $3 you call it drinks and half price pizza, EXCELLENT! read more

You're not going here for the glamorous scenery or the hot night life. You won't be rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. What you'll see is the definition of a "DIVE" bar, with VERY nice people working there, and an eclectic mix of patrons. The burgers and fries on the other hand, are phenomenal! I'm pretty darned pick too. We went in this weekend and I got a cheeseburger (or 2!) and fries along with a Heiny light and I was in heaven! They are supposed to have great chili, which I plan to test out next time. The place is a bit on the "worn" side, but it's clean, great prices, and close to home. Try it. You'll like it! read more

The Cozy Inn is a Brighton institution. I remember the place back when they had their old dog, Boozer. Sadly, Boozer went to dog heaven, but the burger remains, and the Cozy Burger is nothing short of amazing. Take heed. The place is a bit run-down, beat up, and loved, but that doesn't take away from the juicy beef patty on the slightly toasted bun. And the tray of condiments! They've been doing it the same way since I was a kid. Horseradish, yellow mustard, white onions, sliced dill pickles, ketchup, relish, and hot sauces. You load it up as you like. Don't forget some fries. Can't be beat. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover they say, and if you pass by the Cozy Inn because of its divey-bar exterior you'll miss out on some excellent food and great service. The inside was renovated nearly 2 years ago and they did a fantastic job creating a hip atmosphere. Burgers amongst the best in the area, and a full complement of condiments come with so you can create your own masterpiece. Try the spicy cauliflower if they have it, really good! I will be back! read more

GREAT SERVICE and a friendly atmosphere. Good place for a casual date night or a family dinner. Grace was my server and she was very pleasant and accommodating to my needy requests. Jac, the bartender/manager kills it behind the bar slinging beer all night long. The late night bouncers are easy on the eyes as well. I'll be back soon! read more

Great burgers! Nice staff! Loud music! and a jute box you can program with Touch Tunes to your own choices!

Awesome burgers and great service! The new remolded Cozy is very nice, can't wait to go back! Joyce P. Brighton read more

Ate here for the first time. We ordered the burger. Put it together with pickles, horseradish, hot peppers, mayo, catsup, mustard. It was the best burger I can ever remember. We also ordered the chicken fingers/tenders. House battered with the BBQ or ranch dip, were tender and flavorful. Great stop. I understand it was just remodeled too it looks great inside and they had a guitar player and singer that did a great job. It was a surprisingly great night. One of those diamonds you find when you don't expect it. We will definitely be back. read more

I love and appreciate all that a restaurant owner can do to stay open in Michigan, while trying to support local and privately owned businesses, I do expect quality in what I order... for instance this afternoon in this establishment my wife ordered a French dip sandwich in which the buns were grilled (they were burned and inedible) I brought it to the attention of the waitress and she apologised, but did nothing to correct the problem... I was charged and I paid for the inferior sandwich. All the cook had to do when he saw the bun was burnt was to put another one on and send the food out . I do not recommend this establishment for food .... beer and drinks are good,hard to screw up. read more

Came here for lunch today. Nice menu, decent service. A little pricey for what you get. We had cozy coneys which I think were $7-$8 each it was $2.50 to add fries. The coneys and the sauce were good. The fries are the battered kind which I don't care for. It's decent looking inside, with a kind of modern industrial/ dive bar look. The hanging lights are dusty and have cobwebs, the window sills were also very dusty. Also bc you can come in the front and the back door, it's pretty cold. read more

Very disappointed. First time there. called ahead of time because we had a large party. Waited a long time for a table. Service was horrible food was mediocre read more

Was looking for a place to eat on our way from East Lansing to Detroit. Not at all disappointed. Newly renovated and beautiful on inside. Food was great "bar food". Loved the fried pickles. Will definitely come here again. read more

This place is great! Total definition of "dive bar" great food, great prices and friendly staff. It's a must try. read more

Delicious burger! Got the cozy burger with American cheese, comes with shredded lettuce, tomato. They also bring out a handful of toppings like Pickles, mayo, jalapeños, banana peppers, horseradish , ketchup, mustard. Ordered it with the onion rings which are also very good. This was our first time in- we will be back! Only wish the Long island was a little stronger- maybe less sour mix ? read more

Cozy Inn - Bars Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

Ok Ok let me preface this review by warning you that this bar IS NOT the newest, fanciest or largest bar in the area. It is a "biker / redneck" bar but these are the nicest bikers/rednecks around. Burgers are large, hand shaped and grilled to perfection. Chili is homemade and delicious. PLUS you have entertainment every night when you watch the customers interact with each other. Ladies, the ladies room is very small so don't plan on turning around in it or adjusting your apparel. It ain't gonna happen-LOL. Guys, I can't tell you about the men's room so you will just have to stop in and experience it yourself. Oh, btw, that really is carpeting on the floor. read more

Cinnamon sticks were AMAZING by far my favorite and I will be getting them more than once. Other foods were decent read more

We heard good things but unfortunately our experience was just mediocre. Burger was "ok". Nothing special and not worth going back for Need to do more if this is what you do. Onion rings were dry. read more

Great top-shelf Long Island Iced Tea!!!! The burgers are handmade and tasty. Very nicely remodeled.

Best burgers ever! Little hole in the wall place, lots of locals. Great service. It's worth stopping in.

Visiting from out of town and this place was suggested to us, so glad we went, for the food AND the experience. The epitome of a dive bar in the country (I mean this in a good way). Decor reminded me of my grandparent's basement in the 70's, again, in a good way! Good beer selection, not much to choose from in the way of wine, but come on, this is a burger and cold beer kind of place! Bartender was also serving as hostess, waitress and cook the night we were there. She was busy, but extremely pleasant about it. She was kind enough to turn one of the televisions to the Illinois basketball game for us, even though State Was playing at the same time. We all ordered burgers, with varying degrees of doneness. We also split a side of fries and a side of onion rings. The burgers were great! Hand shaped, nicely seasoned and all cooked the way we specified. We loved the condiment tray that was brought out, mustard, ketchup, pickles, onions two ways, mayo, horseradish, hot peppers, cocktails sauce and more, lots of options for customizing your burger. The fries were good, hot and crispy fresh from the fryer. The onion rings were even better. Yes, probably from the freezer, but generously battered and well cooked. We will be back in Brighton this summer for a birthday celebration and will definitely be making another visit! read more

This place has awesome food. I love the service! The burgers are absolutely amazing, along with the sides provided on a paddle board! 100% would recommend read more

The updated Cozy looks great on the inside. The service was slow for not being busy. The burger was average and the onion rings were not battered ("beer batted or fluffy battering" ), they seem like a Gordon Food ring. read more

Stopped in for dinner with my wife for the 1st time on 8/21/17. By the time our drinks arrived, there were three men at a table by the back door that started singing non stop and got so loud, people were starting to complain. You could not even carry on a conversation or hear yourself talk. When I said something to our waitress the answer back was, they were at a golf outing, apologized and walked away. The sad part was. they kept serving them drinks and the louder they got. We did not even finish our drinks and took our food to go. I though it was a shame that management could not ask them to tone it down. Don Y. Brighton read more

Waited for about ten minutes and was addressed by no one. Seemed like the food was good? I'll never know.

Love the cozy dogs and burgers. Such great prices and very nice service! Ellie and Tiffany really do great service! Really great staff they have there and always a great atmosphere for live music and trivia read more

I ordered the nachos appetizer for $11 and added beef for $3. It came with exactly 11 chips, a light dusting of beef and thick chunks of cheese. We said something to the server about the small portion, the 11 chips for $11 and paying $3 for less than a 1/4 cup of beef. He was stumped. The bar tender tried to make things right but came off as snide. She did add more beef but not one extra chip. I have served for years and have never seen such stingy portions. We should have sent them back and had them taken off our bill. My friends orders steak tips. They were $10 and they got exactly 10 nickle size pieces of beef, on the driest burnt toast. They could have at least gave them more than a dime size smear of blue cheese to act as a buffer to the hard toast. I love supporting local but this is out of control. Oh yeah don't drink the water. Other than the high prices on the smallest portions of mediocre food, the atmosphere was nice, we had an attentive server and the bathrooms were clean. This place used to be the local watering hole. Now it seems they're aiming to be the next one star small plate bisto. read more

Hey good people. I trusted the yelp reviews and gave this place a shot. We all had burgers and they were very good. The Cozy has weeknight specials that are budget friendly. Lots of TV's to catch your favorite game. Clean inside the Cozy. Initially we drove right past because the sign does not clue you in to the restaurant. So, my 5 star is food, service, budget friendly. Suggestion to management is get a new sign. Cheers! read more

First time visiting since it was remodeled. We loved the interior and how light the bar was, the bartender was extremely nice, the drinks were outstanding and the customers were also friendly. Only downside is the burger. Not sure what they did but it was the saltiest burger we have ever had. We both are sick the next day from them. Marvs meat is right next door why not deliver quality meat instead of processed patties. The Cozy burger before was outstanding, maybe remove the seasoning salt in the burger or get some quality meat. We will return but not to eat. read more

Great burgers ! Sign outside said $5 burgers. Burger was thick, juicy and grilled perfectly ! Friends recommended we go there. Glad we did. It's a bar with cool things to look at while you wait for the best burger! read more

My husband and I ate here late this afternoon and we both are very sick from the Cozy Burger & onion rings. The hamburger tasted a little strange but thought perhaps they had added a new seasoning. It did not smell or taste like rancid meat just a unfamiliar taste. My husband ask for a draft beer and got a bottled beer, I ask for pepperjack cheese on my Cozy Burger and got no cheese. The chicken wing special was very good. The waitress was in such a hurry she did not take time to even listen. I ask for a slice of onion on my burger and got two tiny round rings of onions. On the condiment board we had three little pickles to split between the two of us. My husband is still vomiting at this moment so don't know what it could be. He never gets sick on his stomach so it must be bad. The onion rings had this awful thick breading. This is the second time we have tried the Cozy Inn since the ownership change and both times we found it questionable. I will take the dirty old place with waitress' cooking, taking orders and serving with out food poisoning any day. read more

Holy wow! Great remodel. The menu is something else, such great choices! The staff is FAST and friendly! Great work, great staff, great food! read more

Great service and prices! We went on taco night and they were cheap and delicious! Very clean and everyone was very friendly!

I've been going here for years. Took my mom last year and now she is addicted. Yes, as others have posted - it is a DIVE BAR. However, the service is friendly. The burgers are THE BEST I've ever had. I love the condiment tray, including horseradish, pickles, sliced onions, diced onions, and other sauces, along with the ketchup and mustard. The onion rings and fries are quite good. With us having small appetites, they are also very accommodating to food-sharing with no additional cost. read more

Ask for the "Schommer Special", e.g. a bottle of Pabst and a burger with an astounding array of traditional condiments on the side. Enjoy what is arguably the best burger in all of the Great White North. The Cozy's lack of ambiance is its ambiance: a family-owned version of the Mos Eisley Cantina from "Star Wars". Cold beer, good food and great company not to be surpassed! read more

THE best bar burger in Southeast Michigan! It's my kinda place which means it's a dive bar of the highest degree. The burgers are cooked on a blistering hot flat top grill and are just amazingly good and messy! The condiment tray that comes out with the burgers with mustard, ketchup, pickles, onions two ways, mayo, horseradish, hot peppers, cocktail sauce and more, gives you a boatload of options for making your burger "your way"! Biker friendly but beware...the parking is all gravel. This place is one of my favorite haunts year round. The bartenders are always very friendly and attentive. Give "The Cozy" a try...if you like burgers and dive bars...you won't be disappointed! Oh, if you're there during Jeopardy or Wheel Of Fortune...good luck on beating out some of the regulars with correct answers...those boys are intelligent and fast...!!! read more

I went there on a Saturday at dinner time with my two teenage sons. We stood at the hostess station waiting to be seated or to be told how long our wait might be for 20 minutes. Each waitress who came to the station to cash customers out made eye contact with us, but no one spoke to us. A couple came in behind us and they too were ignored. They finally gave up and left and we followed them. It seemed like none of the waitresses wanted to fill in as hostess and they were all making a point of refusing to acknowledge people waiting to be seated. The place looked nice and the food smelled good. But I I'll never know for sure, there is zero chance I'll try The Cozy Inn again. I'd rather eat where it's not okay for the staff to completely disregard their customers. read more
