The name of this restaurant is beyond fitting! The Cozy Kitchen is indeed a very cozy, homie, and…read moredare I say nostalgic kind of diner. The staff were as friendly as they can be and made us feel like regulars, regardless of it being our first time in. We visited for a late breakfast with multiple kids (4 years and younger). The staff kept all the adults caffeinated and went above and beyond to make sure the kids had a great experience! (Ie, making sure they had drinks, plenty of napkins, and ever some cookies after they ate) The food was all very good! The table got a verity of options and all plates were left empty. You can really tell that this dinner puts in effort with their food. They even offered numerous HOMEMADE baked goods like breads, pies, cakes and cookies that's to their on-site baker. I will be returning to cozy kitchen in the future whenever I am in town visiting family. I highly recommend you visit if you're looking for someplace cozy to eat.

Small, quaint place downtown - able to park on street. Well…read morerun establishments- one server out front and she rocked it. Tables for 2 or four- and counter service. Solid breakfast- eggs cooked just as ordered- no complaints. Love a runny egg- and dip their homemade toast in it- yum! Mexican scramble was tasty - chorizo not greasy. Hash browns were nicely crisp on outside- and plump inside. Nice portions- in our minds. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars- I would. (And you might run into UWSP hockey players at breakfast!)

I asked what the sheets of paper which had various names like Victoria, Sam.. They told me it was because they fired them. And then they laughed about it. I was upstairs and the cooks eat on the line. ICK!!! Unsanitary to say the least. I also watched them drop food on the floor and still serve it.. I recommend NO-ONE to eat there. Or be employed there. It's a disgrace and disgusting food service establishment. Go to he** Joe's and Terry and that ridiculous woman that does all the paperwork.

First time trying this place on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so glad they suggested it…read more Great late night diner vibe with "edgy" art on the walls and lots of counter seating. Service was also friendly and super efficient, with food made quickly. We were also happy to see there was a steady crowd coming in on a Tuesday night and the staff had no problems making sure everyone was taken care of. We started with the Taste of Manila Egg Rolls because we were so excited to see that something lived on from that restaurant which we miss. The egg rolls were quite tasty and the slaw and sauce just pulled everything together. For our main meals we had the M&O Melt with onion rings and the Red Hot Spicy Clucker with fries. I was happy the the spicy chicken sandwich actually had some heat to it and was full of flavor. The fries were also nicely fried. The M&O Melt was also tasty, and the onion rings were a favorite. Fried nicely so that they had a crunchy bite. It's always a plus when the onion doesn't come out all at once or separate from the breading. These were quite tasty and we definitely recommend the curry ketchup. It added a whole new flavor dimension to the onion rings and fries. Overall, can't wait to try some more menu items next time we're in the area. Definitely recommend.

What a cool little diner…read more My grandma lives over in Kingston, right next door to Markesan, and I usually get up there (I live about an hour and a half away in Milwaukee) at least five or six times a year. Every time, no matter what, I make sure to stop at Sandy's. It's very old school inside (in a good way), and the atmosphere takes you back to a time when small-town diners were still a big part of a community. The service is always impeccable, the food is great, and the prices are so cheap compared to some other restaurants in the area, especially the overpriced places in Green Lake. The clientele is mostly locals on their lunch breaks or getting breakfast/dinner after finishing a shift at the factory in town, and they almost always strike up a conversation with my grandma and I and are very nice. Such a gem to have in Markesan and something I look forward to each visit.

Very welcoming owners. The food is always fantastic!! Highly recommend this small town diner!read more

The menu includes breakfast fare (the French Toast was terrific), sandwiches, burgers, homemade pizza, and hotdogs. You can build your own hotdog or burger and they also have options for gluten-free as well! I had the Cheap Seats hotdog which comes with a tasty grilled/split hotdog on a soft bun with mustard, ketchup and either pickle relish or dill. Very tasty! My husband had the build your own hotdog with raw onion and sauerkraut. Again...decent amount of toppings and excellent flavor! Everyone wàs ordering ice cream around us and talking about how amazing it was and we were sad that we were already too full, but the server (who was amazing!!) offered us a taste so we were able to try it...it WAS terrific ice cream and well worth a stop on its own :) They are open 7am-2pm so keep that in mind but highly recommend a stop if you are in the area :)
