Tuna melt on rye with cottage fries and coleslaw.
Erik E.

tl;dr Mediocre greasy spoon. My first Yelp letdown. I was headed up north and needed a break for food. Looking at Yelp reviews for things in the area, that wouldn't be too busy on a Friday night, brought me to South Point. It's a vintage (and dingy) 24-hour dinner with counter service and decent (sorta) prices. I arrived around 5pm and was able to snag a spot at the counter. Service was fairly quick. I ordered the tuna melt on rye with "cottage fries" and slaw, as well as a strawberry malt. From my view at the counter, I could see directly into the kitchen. The formerly white walls in the kitchen were a weird tinge of yellow, with dirt around all the edges. I tried to move past that. Don't even get my started on the disgusting closet they call a bathroom. The food (see photo): The swirl rye bread looked great, the tuna salad inside, not so much. It was crazy dark in color, and I couldn't see or taste the usual celery, onion, parsley, etc., that is standard. The slaw was your basic creamy slaw, nothing to write home about. The strawberry malt was made only with strawberry syrup, not actual strawberries or strawberry preserve. They did provide the stainless steel cup to eat the extra out of though, some kudos for that. The cottage fries had the most potential. They are rough cut potatoes that are boiled first then fried for a crisp exterior, but they lacked any seasoning, leaving just a bland taste that even ketchup couldn't help. My meal cost just under $11. Not exactly as cheap as the reviews claim to be. But hey, at least they did have a Yelp 10% off offer... I won't be back.

This is the most authentic and enjoyable diner in Stevens Point. The South Point is small, often crowded, and a bit dingy. It's not the type of place my wife likes to visit. However, it's one of my favorites. You can get breakfast at the South Point Diner (aka "Restaurant") anytime -- and I mean anytime. It's open 24/7. Their Eggs Benedict, only available on weekend mornings, is served with hash browns. It's affordable and fabulous. The Diner offers many breakfast options, including pancakes that I can use to lure my daughters with. I don't know much about their lunch and dinner menus because I always order off the breakfast menu here. They always have a great selection of pie, tho. Good value. No frills. Service is often friendly. Sometimes grumpy. South Point will fill your belly without setting you back. No credit cards or pretense here. Don't be afraid to sit at the counter.

Cod & cottage fries

Great food at reasonable prices. Not a great place if you want pristinely kept ambiance. This is a local favorite. Stopped here on our way north. Liked it so much, we stopped again on our way home. Saw some of the same locals eating there. We even took home a gallon of their Chicken Dumpling Soup. It will continue to be our lunch stop each time we head north.

Full house on weekday AM.

Exceptional value for my two breakfasts. Fast, friendly service and the food was just great. Portions, cooking / preparations all 'as expected'. Pancakes weren't 'box' and held up when cutting. Sausage and chopped steaks were big and really good. It was a full house on a Fri morning, and quite noisy with the regulars. After hours or early AM, I'd be a regular if I lived in Stevens Point!

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 stopped here for a refresher course because my city doesn't have a Hardee's and I have eaten at…read morethem a few times and more breakfast so I thought that I would get a burger for lunch. The drive through menu looks like typical fast food chain options so I ordered the famous star with cheese which is a charbroiled all beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, special sauce, mayo on a sesame bun. It looked a little messy but it had leaf lettuce for a chain restaurant which I thought was classy, iceberg lettuce should never be on any sandwich in my opinion. The bun and toppings were fresh and the cheeseburger was tasty even though the traditional ketchup and mustard is not on this one. Honestly my first thought was that it tasted like a whopper with cheese but the burger patty didn't have the charbroiled flavor depth that the whopper has. Overall I liked it and I would do a burger here again on the road or out of town when I have access to the restaurant.

The service here was TERRIBLE, my children and I we were just finishing playing at the playground…read moreand we went to this Hardee's and asked for water politely, and they said "Can you get theses f wording kids out?" And we thought it was other kids, but when the guy came back he said "I'm sorry but you need to f wording leave." We said "okay?" Then he said while we were leaving "You guys are f wording this s word up!" So we are putting these review to make sure to notify people of this service.
