Tiny cafe with a reputation for a great breakfast. Mine was tasty, but not extraordinary. The ambiance is typical midwestern diner. Nothing to write home about. The service was good. While it was ok, I found it to be rather average and I am wavering between 3 and 4 stars. read more

What a fantastic find! Local favorite for breakfast! Small in size but huge service, quality and value. The waitstaff were friendly and fast. Definitely a small-town diner atmosphere with great home-cooked breakfast favorites! read more

The name is as advertised. This place is small but delivers big. Home style cooking, fresh brewed iced tea and coffee, fast and friendly service. These three gals worked their tails off during today's rush. My husband and I ordered breakfast and felt we both had very good meals at a reasonable price. The food came quick and our drinks were never more than half empty. Great job. read more

Let's start with service. From the greeting to the goodbye at the cash register, this place is country friendly and we loved it. Service was solid and watching these ladies apply their craft was like watching a choreographed dance. They must be long-term coworkers to be that fast while working in very close quarters. As a former server, I appreciated watching it. They worked as a team so everyone got their food fast and hot and the cups never went too low. Ambiance: this is a diner with worn finishes but not so worn it's an eyesore. It's comfortable and as the name says, it's cozy. It is the kind of place you would bring your family for breakfast after church. Food: the food was prepared as expected with the added bonus of the eggs being fried perfectly to order. I can't believe how many places have a problem with making over medium eggs. This place isn't one of those. The senior breakfast was a good solid meal that filled me up. My husband's omelette was too big for him to finish it and he left half on the plate, while quite satisfied with the portion he ate. The hash browns are tender on the inside, crunch on the outside, as it should be. They were a little too greasy for me, but the normal level for the region. The toast was well-buttered, a nice surprise coming from an area where there is a movement to only butter when requested. I always forget to ask for it. All in all, it's a solid homestyle meal, nothing fancy, but it's not meant to be. It's definitely worthy of a return. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 read more

Went here on a weekday. The special was one biscuit, gravy over it with a sausage patty underneath with hash browns. Hashbrowns were warm. But the only thing on the plate that was. Gravy was lukewarm at best, but the biscuit and sausage patty were ice cold. At nearly 30 dollars for 2 specials? There are much better places to go. read more

Great comfort food Breakfast served all day. Conveniently located on KK just off 54 read more

Breakfast food is good at a great price, staff has always been friendly when we visit and the place isn't fancy but it is clean!

Greasy spoon-- I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a tummy ache or are used to a lot of greasy food. People were super nice, though.

Locals go to for breakfast. Great bang for the buck, prompt service. Good quality offerings. Down side is limited seating so get there early. read more

Everyone was very nice and good service. the omelet fillings were plentiful. I had the create your own omelet. daughter had.biscuits and gravy. they serve breakfast all day. way more reasonable priced than our hotel breakfast and better. you get two sides with most of the breakfast items. she offered my husband a soda to go. read more

Great spot with great food and even better service! Old school mom and pop type feel. The staff makes you feel right at home!

3 stars for my wife's chili dog and a fail for my omelet. This is the second time we've been in there and we won't be back. The vibe is very much a "locals only" feeling and even though we are locals, we aren't your usual old guys in baseball caps type locals. The food is a strictly restaurant supply variety, nothing surprising or imaginative here. The place is smaller and the servers missed the classes on how to be nice to everyone class. read more

Popular breakfast spot at the Lake of the Ozark's. This is a down home, uber casual- hot spot. Locals and Visitors alike visit the Cozy Cafe. You will find a Diner style breakfast restaurant with booths and tables for seating. The hash browns are my favorite since I can never get them exactly right at home. All food has been flavorful with large portions on my visits. If you need to fuel up before a day of fun in the sun, stop by the Cozy Cafe. read more

Good food. Hard working ladies working there. There's nothing to look at, but that's all right for me. Enjoyed our meal and no wait.

Great mom and pop cafe! If you leave there hungry, it's your own fault! Fast friendly service and excellent food! Omelettes made the right way! read more

The food was great and the service was even better. The work place was not too loud and our whole baseball team had a great time. 5 stars.

This place provides two breakfast meals for great prices, service is something Buffet could learn from, and tight but family friendly unlike Margaritaville! read more

Food was really good. Service was excellent! I would go there again. My husband loves the gravy and biscuits!

Another awesome breakfast. We took advantage of the breakfast special, country fried steak. Hash brown casserole, biscuit & gravy and eggs served by a totally delightful server, Lisa. At Cozy Cafe it is 5 star experience every time I visit read more

My husband and I went here today for breakfast. The wait was short which was nice. I got eggs and toast and tomatoes- all fresh and tasty. My husband got breakfast burrito and did not like it. He also got grits with cheese and said it tasted microwaved. By the way cheese on grits costs .75.... He also got the Apple bread pudding which was on a specials board and that was delicious. The servers were ok. It's hard to decide on a tip while getting stared at. I don't think we would be back. read more

Great prices, good food, friendly and fast service. It was our go-to place for breakfast (along with Pancake House).

Great if you like precooked meats, canned gravy...tasteless. if you are expecting home-cooked this is not it!

We were recommended this place by my parents. We went in it was very busy but the atmosphere was great!!! We ordered our food shortly after we were seated, didn't take long at all to get our food even though it was busy. The portions were large! Everything tasted amazing. Very filling, very fresh, and great customer service! We will be back!! read more

The Cozy Cafe - Full stack of pancakes banana foster's style!!! Oh so delicious, this was served on a platter style plate!! - Cafes Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

The "Shingle" is the way to go. Hash Browns, chili, cheese, eggs, ground beef Texas Toast. Mmmm great.

The employees were really nice. One time we even went in 10 minutes before closing and they were still ready to serve. The food is delicious and their pies are especially good! read more

If you're not a regular, you're not a priority. Service is pretty sloppy and definitely lazy. The food was fine, but nothing to brag about. I'd stop in again but will look for other options first. read more

Went with a group of people. The Greek omelet was the best. Everything was good. (Except the biscuit).

This is "our kind of place" so we had high expectations which were not met. Some observations: 1. I love my coffee - usually getting 3 or 4 refills with a meal, The coffee here was totally unremarkable. 2. My hash browns were swimming in a pool of grease and had a very unusual, and disagreeable, taste. All I could eat was two forks-full. 3. My "Cozy Shingle" (eggs, chili & cheese over toast) was just OK. I would not order again. 4. My wife reports that her "New Yorker" (hot dog covered with sauerkraut) was quite good, but too much food. She didn't understand that this was a foot-long hot dog. 5. My wife's tater tots tasted a little greasy, but were cooked to perfection. I ended up eating these instead of my hash browns. The portion size for the tater tots was enormous. 6. Service was spotty - promptly greeted & seated with drinks delivered immediately and orders taken without error. However, we had to ask twice for a soft drink and coffee refills were not automatic. We arrived a little after noon on a Tuesday and there were only two other tables occupied during our stay. With so many better options available in the Lake Area, we will not be back here. read more

Wonderful "cozy" old style breakfast cafe. We had to wait 10-15 minutes to get seated, but well worth the short wait! Service was wonderful, our pancakes, bacon and eggs were delicious and was very inexpensive! read more

Had to ask customers if I could seat anywhere. No waitresses to be found but a lot of conversation being heard in the kitchen. Food bland. Waitresses very loud. Will not be returning to this establishment. read more

We order from work on average once a week...My wife and I also eat breakfast here about once a week...Great place with great food and people...I hope they stay in business for another 30 years....If you're a snobby asshole and complain about every place you visit, they don't want your business and I don't want to run into you there.... read more

Have eaten breakfast here several times and never disappointed. Great service and food is always cooked perfectly. Try this cozy cafe and let the atmosphere take you back a few years in time!! read more

We stopped in for breakfast the other day when the wait at the Pancake House was a bit too long. This place has some things going for it, but some definite problems too. When we walked in, one of the two servers was working the register. There were a few tables waiting to be bussed. Both of these servers were working frantically the whole time we were there. Our waitress was pretty grumpy, but really I couldn't blame here. They were understaffed. Still, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The quality was a mixed bag. I got the short stack of buttermilk pancakes. They were tough. My wife had a Spanish omelet. I exchanged some of my pancakes for a portion. It was very good. My MIL was with us, she hated the bacon - too salty, smoky and thick. I didn't like it either - the salty/smoky taste lingered way too long. I could see where some people might like it this way, though. Our daughter had a chocolate chip pancake and loved it. When it came time to pay, the grumpy waitress put the check on the table. I assumed we had to pay at the register, so I brought the bill up and she started scolding my wife, saying "I have the bill here, pushing a folder at her." Not nice, especially since she had already given us a bill. I have kind of a hard time giving them more than two stars, but they worked really hard to get our breakfast to us, plus the omelet and choc chip pancake were really good. read more
