Strictly average and the food was cold. I've been there twice and both times I had the same experience.

Stopped in for breakfast on our way back to Chicago. Got the French toast, breakfast quesadilla, and breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious, and the service was top notch. Ivan and Maria make you feel welcome and take pride in providing a wonderful experience. Will definitely come back. read more

We came for breakfast on a visit from out of town, as our friends have driven by dozens of times, and we liked the tents set up outside in the parking since it was a nice day. The menu was HUGE, so many choices, and some creative ones you don't see other places! The portions were gigantic, and very generous for the price! The food though, really left something to be desired. It was just generic tasting, and tasted more of a typical diner. The server was extremely rude, and seemed quite bothered by our mere presence. It was downright appalling actually, and in fact the busser was far nicer, I wish he could have switched them out! read more

Great local find! Stopped here while traveling through. Food and service were excellent. Would definitely go back if in the area.

Our food was great. And our waitress was so friendly. Very accommodating. The owner came and greeted us also. We will be back.

Great place excellent food and service all the food is prepared well and the staff is good

Definitely not coming back! I was in my way to Peoria from Lake Geneva and I made a horrible choice by stopping by at this place for breakfast. The waitress was so rude and I got the feeling that she did not like us right from the beginning. She did not help us at all, and she was so unprofessional. The food tasted okay but not as good as the reviews. The place was dirty and this is the last time I will dine here read more

Best french fries! Our meals were great and came quickly with more food than we could finish. They have very friendly staff.

Typical diner, good service. Swedish pancakes are worth the trip. The rest is adequate. read more

See all

Stopped today for a quick breakfast. Had the Country Breakfast plate. Presentation, food and service was awsome. Very fair prices. Highly recommend. read more

Nick's Kozy Nook is a Harvard Classic, and has been here for over 28 years. They have delicious food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If you are in the Harvard area, i reccommend stopping at Nick's Kozy Nook for a great meal! read more

Kozy Nook - a view of a coffee shop - American Near Me - Harvard, Illinois

Every time I order a pickup, the food is delicious! Fresh every time. And the owner is very nice and friendly. I come back to this restaurant because of him. read more

Good breakfast, terrible service! I took my girlfriend and daughter to breakfast the morning of 12/09. We seated ourselves, and were waited on by a short haired woman likely about 60. She was terrible! She walked up to us, didn't ask how we were or introduce herself. She simply held up her ticket pad to take our order. She came back twice while we were eating and told us we looked like we were doing good as she passed. Terrible attitude. I'd guess she's an owner as anyone else would not last long if they acted as she did. We will not be back! read more

I met a friend for breakfast and this place is the best diner in Harvard area. I did find it to be a little heavy on the salt so I will order mine without salt next time and season it myself. I had the Denver omelet and it was one of the better omelets I have had. They also substitute fruit for potatoes and the fruit disk was excellent. This place has constant flow of traffic but they do not rush you out the door. I will be coming again in a week and I am looking forward to it. read more

Hard to rate this one. It started off good but then the server came and she was VERY rude. Obviously didn't want to be at work and took it out in her customers. I always try to be fair and nice because you never know what others are going through but this was wasn't good. read more

As far as the food goes, its diner breakfast done well. No complaints regarding the meal, it is what it is. The service was just appalling. Our server didn't seem to give a modicum of a shit, like we ruined her day by walking into her diner. When we went to pay, she asked if I had cash and was so annoyed that I didn't that she let out an audible groan and her eyes rolled so hard I wasn't sure if they'd come back down. Don't worry, ma'am, we won't be back. read more

This is what you need to know about Kozy. Get there early Come with an appetite Make damn sure you get Dorothy as your server. Kozy has been feeding me for years. Kozy has cured my hangovers, served as a reunion spot and has not changed its style. Down home small town cooking with damn good friendly service. read more

This is a very average looking diner that is open limited hours Despite its humble appearance this diner has some things that it's got right. The food is of good quality, always served in generous portions and at a reasonable price. The staff treat you like family. This would be a three star review except for one thing. The milkshakes win an additional star. They are exceptional. read more

Great Mom & Pop food. Best breakfast for the price in town. Staff rates a 10. They pamper you and take care of your every need. Make this a breakfast or lunch stop when in Harvard, IL. read more

I wish I could give this place no stars. Service was horrible. My family and I went here after a Christmas party. The waitress was not only rude but seemed bothered when we asked for napkins. The food was terrible. My finance's skillet had something that looked, smelled and tasted like corned beef. Not at all ham and bacon that he requested. The waitress was nothing but awful. Some older lady with short blonde hair was our waitress and boy did she hate her job and us, especially my fiancé. She barely came around and when she finally decided to come & check on us, she was walking away as we were asking her for a refill. My fiancé finally went to pay and it seemed as if he must've killed her puppy due to the glares she was giving him. The best part was when she threw the pen at him when he asked to use to sign the receipt then she threw the receipt at him. The owner noticed the rudeness and quickly came over to make sure everything was ok. To date we still don't know what this waitress' problem was but I guess we'll never find out since we will NEVER set foot in this place again. Food not so great and the service was awful. Almost seemed as she was out right rude since we weren't her "regulars". Must say that throughout it all, my fiancé was nothing but nice to her. Smiled and wished her a nice day as he left her a one dollar tip. Shame on you lady and the owner for allowing this behavior on first time customers! read more

Nick's Kozy Nook is a favorite in Harvard, Dairy Capital of the World. We love to do takeout, especially during Covid. It's been great for our family. We especially love the amazing chicken salad sandwiches and chicken rice soup. Staff is always very friendly and the food is consistently delicious! read more

Awesome service we were greeted as soon as we walked in! Best cream of chicken soup I have ever had. I would highly recommend coming here!

Lovely place, me and my wife ordered the country breakfast, delicious great portions family friendly , totally a hidden jewel. We are coming back next weekend. read more

The food was good and fast. The service could have been better. The water glasses were too small and we had to ask for a refill.

Doesn't look like much but the service was great and the food was really good. It's not gourmet but as far as diner foods go, I give them an A:-) I had the chicken blt wrap and the hubs had a burger. My kids each got something off their kids menu. Portions were large and we were happy with everything we ate. We will definitely go back when we are in the area again! read more

Great service by Dorothy! We stop in for breakfest often. Good food, great quality and decent prices. The coffee is always warm and owner greets you with a smile and hello. Owner is even willing to assist getting coffee or what ever is needed. Dorothy always remembers our orders and checks on us often. read more

This is a great place for a quick, tasty breakfast or lunch. It's only open in the morning and afternoon, but the menu is excellent and extremely affordable. The servings are also large - I often split a meal with my mom or take home leftovers for lunch. This is a must-have for anyone who comes through Harvard. The staff is great and the crowd is friendly. read more

First time I was in there this old waitress was rude and impatient. Never been back since and don't plan on it either. Food was mediocre, not worth your buck. read more

We were passing through and stopped in. At first I wasn't sure because the outside looks like the typical less than average restaurant. The inside looks that way, too. The first spark of hope was our server, Amy. Very good, friendly, helpful service. Then, when the food came, it actually looked pretty good! The breakfast was good (not gourmet, but good). The beef stir fry was great. The taco salad was excellent (it lived up to Amy's high recommendation). The grilled chicken sandwich looked pretty good, but didn't come with any toppings. Overall, a good surprise. read more

Hearty, real breakfast food. Very friendly & fast service. Love that the locals are here too!

No frills diner food that totally met expectations. Bean soup with bacon was fabulous. Very good & tasty cheeseburger. Fries were merely OK. Friendly service and super fast cooking, had my food in 5 minutes. read more

Definitely a solid place for breakfast, nothing out of the ordinary(unique) as far as breakfast food is concerned. I had the Deluxe skillet and added sausage gravy to it, which they did not charge me for :) Skillet was good, no complaints, I would go back. read more

We visited Kozy Nook in Harvard, IL for a late morning meal and time of visiting with my brother and his wife. We were all pleased with our meal and the service was very good. My brother lives nearby and will go again with family and friends. I will also go back, when in the area. read more

First time eating here during breakfast. I ordered the Country Breakfast which was cooked properly with an adequate portion served hot. Breakfast was served within 10 minutes of ordering. Waitress was polite and speedy. Price was affordable costing $ 20.00 for two breakfast plates, two coffees, a soft drink, and tip. Would recommend when in Harvard. read more
