Cozy Corner Deli - Cobb salad with Grilled Chicken fire - Delis Near Me - Union, New Jersey

My parents moved to Union two months before I was born back in '86, and Cozy Corner was already 3 decades old. 40 years later, this tiny lunch counter is still going After dropping my car off for an oil change, I stopped in for the first time in about 25 years...and little inside changed. The counter and stools in the middle of the deli are still there, and the menu sticks to the basics. I thought about riding the nostalgia and getting a grilled cheese (properly greasy, with yellow American) but went with a tossed salad instead The salad wasn't anything special: romaine + thick cut tomato + shredded carrots + cucumber + red onion + roasted red pepper, topped with a scoop of tuna salad. It was dished up quick and I managed to kill some time before heading back to the dealership The original owners are long gone, but it feels like Cozy Corner will be right there on Rahway and Liberty for another 7 decades read more

Sandwiches were very good. Price and service were okay. The first experience was better than the second. They should leave the sandwich making to the cook in the back. The women moved too fast preparing the sandwich and it showed. I would purchase from them again. read more

Love it! Easy and convenient! Good local joint. Great breakfast! Love Ann Marie! She's the best! Nice people! When so many other just don't care, it's nice to find a place that does read more

Notable differences under new ownership. Always top notch lunches over the years Now soggy wraps, tiny pieces of dried chicken in the salads and higher prices on everything At least pack a pickle or chips with sandwiches to stay competitive No coupons any longer read more

This is a place I would go to 2 or 3 times a year for breakfast when I was nearby. Usually good, never great. This time it was pretty bad. Stopped by this morning for breakfast and ordered two eggs over easy with Taylor ham and home fries and rye toast with coffee. Coffee was a little off , but drinkable. When breakfast came several things were wrong. Taylor ham was so overcooked that they resembled chips. Home fries were cold and clearly not cooked. Toast was buttered , but not toasted. Nobody came over to offer refill of coffee. Overall just a bad experience. Probably will not be returning read more

Good sandwiches but horrendous at delivering food on time, even when you place the order for lunch at 8:30 AM. Very limited help to fulfill orders on a timely basis and management just doesn't seem to care! read more

If you order take out open your order before leaving. I requested hold the tomato and they held everything. No oil,vinegar, lettuce,or onion only meat,cheese and bread. Also on their Italian cheeseburger they were skimpy on the onions and peppers. read more

Loved their grits. I mean some people mess up grits bad but they were on point with some great grits in the morning.

This place catered lunch for my office and it was delicious! The sandwiches were all delectable. I had the tuna on whole wheat and I totally recommend it. The orzo salad was the best I've ever had & the pasta salad was robust! My co-workers raved about the vegetable lasagna but I didn't have any. If I'm ever in the area- I will definitely stop by Cozy Corner for lunch! read more

Cozy Corner Deli - Delis Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Okay, officially done ordering here. I have ordered here a several times because it's so close by my work. Less than 2 minutes away. Every single time I've gotten my food I've been annoyed after opening my meal. The customer service in store is okay but over the phone is horrible!! The girls are so rude. The last time I sat in there to eat, over a month ago..I watched one of the elder waitresses slice sandwich meat without gloves, sneak to eat a couple Oreos and then use her same hand to continue slicing meat. I immediately lost my appetite and threw out my food and promised to never go back but today time slipped by I was starving and decided to just order and hope for the best... I just received my order of chicken tenders, and the breading is almost black and with oil. I'm trying figure out why they would deliver this to me and think I would want to eat it. I'm trying to figure out why the chicken tenders are darker than my skin complexion. I kind of need an explanation. The person who packed this meal up should've had enough common sense to say "hey, I think the oil needs to be changed, we cannot give this to anyone to eat" Very unacceptable It's nice the owner below tried to make amends by offering a free meal, but at this point after being disgusted several times, I'm not interested in spending money at a business who keeps getting it wrong. read more

I like the feel of this place. It has the atmosphere of an old world diner. No nonsense service is another plus. So far I have tried their Chicken Noodle soup, Philly Cheese Steak and their suicide wings. The first two were pretty good but the wings were AMAZING. I like spicy stuff. Their suicide sauce gives you a pretty good kick but is not overwhelming. I have been looking for a place that served fresh cooked wings with the right tenderness and I score these folks 5/5. read more

This place has a lot of great reviews on Grubhub, so I had really high hopes that this would be my go-to breakfast place. I was beyond disappointed! The good: they have a digital way of placing an order. The bad: the estimated pick up times suck, and they don't prepare the order the way you indicate in the order. The ugly: I watched the woman who readies the order for pick up touch: paperbags, a carton, several receipts, a stapler, her clothes, and the countertop ... all before putting her hands on a bagel. She put cream cheese on it and cut it, and I'm not talking fingertips. Bonus 1: I LOVE waiting 30 minutes to get over easy eggs, soggy toast, and canned corned beef hash without the crispy crust top- especially when I ordered "over medium" and specifically asked for the corned beef hash to be cooked well done so it's crispy. but hey... to get over medium and the crispy top on corned beef hash, it's supposed to take over 30 minutes, right? Bonus 2 conversation: Me: How much longer? Woman: 2 minutes Me: Ok, bc I've watched several orders go out before mine. Man: Do you have a menu Woman 2: Grubhub JUST sent this to us. Me thinking to myself: yeah, 25 minutes ago. Me outloud: No. Grubhub is the reason I even knew about this place. If you can't handle a Grubhub order that got me here, why would I come back? AND...What I'm grossed out about is Woman 1 touching stuff. Man: but ma'am, she's not touching food. Me: YES, SHE IS. Man: no, she isn't. Me: I WATCHED HER touch (insert previously mentioned list here) then touch a bagel. Man: *walks away* Woman 1: *goes back to readying bags* Is it all bad? no. Just know what to order: you can get bagels & muffins quickly. As for me? NEVER AGAIN. read more

Cozy Corner Deli - 2 eggs "over medium" & "well done" corned beef hash. - Delis Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I brought a breakfast sandwich from bacon, egg and cheese on a roll from cozy corner for $5.00 and I had more bread than anything. The sandwich had one egg and 2 pieces of bacon on a hard roll. It's a shame to charge so much and get hardly anything. You get more from McDonald's. read more

The neighborhood lunch counter, Cozy Corner has been around forever. The setting is very 60's, with the spinning counter seats and a few tables. My guess is that they probably do far more deliveries ($1 fee, no minimum), and they are good (but not perfect) at packing their orders complete. I guarantee that unless you've recently been paroled, the food won't impress you-- it is, however, as-advertised and reasonably well-made. Their club sandwiches are almost always my choice, and I keep coming back. Parking can be a bit tight in their lot, and blocking a lane of traffic to park on the street isn't a good idea. I've never found the crew who works here particularly friendly, but the delivery guys usually are. read more

I have been to this cafe twice. My first experience was ok. Food was so so. But I told myself maybe it was a bad day for them. So I tried them again and this time was even worse. The staff was rude and ignored me and my mom right in front of them ready to order. I asked one of the workers if I could see the sandwich and she said no I already wrapped it. Then I explained why because last time it was so skinny for $8.50. She rudely replies it's by ounces. Like what does that even mean?! I almost walked out but Thought better or it. Again the sandwich was skimpy; barely any turkey and three slices of cheese. Basically a cheese sandwich. Old lettuce and hard bread. How do you mess up a cold-cut sandwich. Never again. One star is generous. read more

I can't believe I haven't posted a review for Cozy yet! I lived on Cozy for about 4 years when I worked in Union. Not sure where to start so let's just go with breakfast, ok? First I would like to thank the small minded and mostly unintelligent worker girls I used to work with for submitting my name to their lunch contest without my permission. That was a gift. My first week I won first lunch and that's how the affair began. Went with the potato and eggwich with a side of grits. YUMMY for my tummy! The sandwich was big and on a kaiser. I love kaiser rolls. The grits were still piping hot when my boy Derek delivered them. Derek is the 2nd reason I ordered so often. He was cool, like not a delivery driver. Came in my office and actually kicked it with me. Can't understand how the hell he got everyone their food hot because I know he chats with other customers too! But he does it and for that reason I love him. Now, moving along to lunch. I am a Roast Beef sandwich girl. And their RB is killer. They make it and they layer it on the kaiser super thick too. Slammin! I have also eated thenr BLT club, Cheesesteak, Chicken Caesar wrap, and havee had their corned beef on rye. All were just what G-wiz needed. Cozy is located on Rahway ave in Union. Go up Morris Ave and make a left on Rahway by Cafe Z. It's on a corner on the left. They are cheap too! Not the quality of food or service, the prices. Dolla dolla all day baybay!! read more

I went to Cozy for the first time a few months ago and had no idea what to order. The lady behind the counter suggested their balsamic grilled chicken wrap with roasted peppers and mozz cheese ... SO happy I listened to her, the wrap was great. Good customer service, food takes about 5 minutes to prepare after ordering. read more

I just ordered delivery from here for the first and last time. I ordered a turkey club from their "Gigantic Club Sandwiches" part of the menu and was disappointed to find that adding avocados to the sandwich was over a dollar extra, but I did it. I also ordered sweet potato fries because they are listed as a popular menu item. I ordered a sandwich and fries and it took over an hour for the food to arrive. When I opened the bag I was disgusted. The bag was wet with condensation from the fries, which were cold. The napkins in the bag were useless, SOAKED with moisture. The fries were mushed into a blob of foil and had no form whatsoever. I tried one and it tasted like a shoe; I threw the fries right in the garbage. I would like to note that those sweet potato fries cost me $3.50. The "Gigantic Club Sandwich" was ironically the smallest club sandwich I have ever seen in my life. It was somehow made with all the bad ingredients people hate in their sandwiches: shrunken Wonder Bread, shredded-snot textured lettuce and slimy deli turkey. My one dollar extra of avocado was a whole sliver's worth. I paid $8.10 for this masterpiece. Read the positive reviews of this place: people are saying crazy things like, "Oh I like the owner, but not the food." WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!?!?! read more

I'll start by saying I've never actually been to this deli but my co-worker and I ordered lunch from here yesterday using a Yelp deal. I really like this place for several reasons: 1) Their menu has an ample amount of food items to choose from including breakfast and lunch and low carb/healthy options (yay for me!) 2) Their food is made to order. So let's say the grilled chicken sandwich comes with roasted red peppers but you'd rather have another topping? You got it! 3) Prices are really reasonable and portion sizes are adequate- not too large, not too small. Goldilocks would love this place. 4) They will deliver even for 1 order with a $1 delivery fee. No longer do you need to order from someplace you don't like just because that's where everyone else is ordering from! 5) You can place your entire order online if you'd rather not call it in. Ordering online is unbelievably easy and you can even add special notes for each item you order. And the absolute BEST part of their online ordering is you can split the check with a co-worker if neither of you has cash- you can pay with up to 5 different credit cards AND include the tip while you're at it! Although I had to order by phone because of the Yelp deal, the guy on the phone was very friendly and didn't rush me through my order like some delis tend to do near lunch time. 6) The food came quickly and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this my new deli any time I forget to bring my lunch to work. 7) They are clearly enlightened business owners who appreciate a good Yelper, hence the Yelp deal :) Give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a Deli / Miniature Dinner. Everyone is friendly ... ( Now, I don't mean nice or polite. I mean genuinely friendly) I don't associate the Tri-state area with this level of welcoming attention. I recently started working in Union and this place is literally 2 minutes away. When I first stopped in, I felt like I was down South. They greet you with a smile, and they are attentive. Well enough about the customer service. The food is very fairly priced esp when you need something to grub for lunch. The only reason this can't get the full five is because it's a little dark in the actual location and it needs some renovations. Other than that enjoy !!! read more

I am a frequent customer to Cozy and after the past two weeks I have to say I will not be back. Usually the sandwiches are good and the soups are delicious. However they have now lost a customer over $2..25. My office is across the street and somehow it took 45 minutes to deliver an egg and cheese sandwich last week which seems a little outrageous to me. Even if your busy the delivery is 1 minute away and the sandwich takes 10 minutes (if they are busy) to make. I let this slide because the sandwich was good. Then a couple days later I order a lunch sandwich and ask for very little honey mustard (a sandwich I get all the time there) and it comes to me drowning in honey mustard, I couldn't eat half of it because it was just too much. This time I had to call... The staff was very nice and apologized and offered to cover the sandwich on my next trip. No problem... like I said I eat there all the time. Then today I redeem my sandwich and again it takes 45 minutes to deliver... across the street!! The guy on the phone was nice, he knew exactly who I was when I called and was offering soda and chips which I thought he was taking care of the whole order since I was so dissatisfied. Once the delivery guy gets here they charged me for the soda and a delivery fee. I would think that they would comp the whole thing since he was asking if I wanted all these other things. Needless to say... I hope the $2.25 was worth losing my $15/week that I spend there since I commute from NYC and this is the most convenient spot. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because they are friendly and usually the food is decent. read more

I live near Union and I'm always on Rt 22. My husband and I didn't find this place until I purchased a voucher to come here. We wanted to try something new, so we figured we'd try this place. I have to say, they are VERY busy. The food was good and it had a laid back atmosphere. First impressions, it was confusing. When I walked in I probably looked like a "deer in headlights", I was so confused. The store-front looks like it used to be a mechanic shop turned liquor store. So, it was surprising to see that inside it had a "diner" feel to it, except with lottery tickets and deli store. Would I go back? I don't think I would, just because of how busy they seemed. I felt like I was being a bother if I needed to pay the tab or ask for a container to go. One of the employees was literally making food, answering the phone, and taking orders. They're a small family business and I completely understand they're doing their best to run it. My husband and I fully support small businesses. That's why I'm giving them a 4 out of 5 stars because the food was good and they were somewhat friendly, I just wish they could maybe hire more people (since they seem under staffed) or have a better system. Personally, this is just my experience. Everyone is different and may have a different experience than mine. So, I recommend trying this place out if you haven't yet. read more

The thing I do like about this place is the owner is very friendly and you can tell that he really thinks of his customers as family and wants to make them happy. (Which is where my 3 stars come from) The thing I don't love about it is the food. The last time I ate here my eggs were super runny i don't like to send my food back at restaurants and was hungry so I ate them. Bad mistake I got super super sick ! But I decided to give them a second chance I ordered Belgium waffles for pick up w again two eggs scrambled. The eggs were good but the waffle was terrible. They should take it off the menu because it is so tasteless and tough. I would legit rather have an ego waffle than this. I guess they stay around due to being in town for so long and having loyal customers. I don't see them making any faithful new ones. read more

Cozy Corner Deli is my first go-to when I'm hungry and looking for delivery. EVERYTHING I've had from there has been good. I've done both breakfast and lunch so I've had a variety from their burgers to their wraps to their French toast and their omelets. The drivers are always on time and courteous. I would recommend them anytime. read more

Typical breakfast place. Sausage, egg, and cheese is usually the way to go here. Cheap prices and the delivery is swift.

Amazing food, very delicious. They have great salads and wraps and apparently the best burgers in Union yet I've never tried them. It is pretty small if you choose to dine-in. They have never messed up my order either. BUT, their customer service needs some work. They are always rude and it honestly stops me from coming here more often. The women who work here make you feel like you are an inconvenience for coming into the restaurant to get food. read more

Disappointed. This used to be my favorite breakfast spot but it has just become far too inconsistent. Every time I order here it's wrong. I ask for soft eggs and get brown eggs. I asked for onions in the hash browns last time I didn't get any this time I can count the number of onion specks in the tasteless potatoes. Some days the food is great and other days it sucks. I guess it depends on the cook. I don't appreciate waiting almost an hour and a half for my food to arrive only to be disappointed. read more

Great sandwiches BUT the service is HORRIBLE! The attitudes, the vibe they give off, the way they treat one another. They always look SO annoyed to deal with the customer. The only person with a positive attitude is the delivery driver. I've been ordering from here for a little over a year and am officially done with the place. The sandwiches are AMAZING but not worth the horrible attitude and service the employes give. read more

Unfortunately there may never be a time when I can try this place. I'm told I don't know what I'm missing, but with their hours of operation and closing time of 6PM, it's not likely that they'll be seeing the many folks that get out of work at 5pm or later. The many deli and "breakfast" places I frequent are open either from 6am or 7am and open until 8pm or later. Many diners are 24 hours. Of course they have a great rep and steady customers; it's just that given their limited and never changing hours of operation, I won't be one of them. read more

This is a great place for a quick bite to eat. Quality food, good service, and not overpriced. I had the tuna fish sandwich while my friend had a rascal burger, both delicious! I have been back twice and have not been disappointed. It a small place with a "diner-like" feel. Definitely worth a shot! read more

This place is such a hidden gem. It is much bigger than it looks on the outside. The food is extremely inexpensive and pretty tasty. We got basic eggs and toast and it came out really good! If you want cheap breakfast food then this is the place to go! read more

I really liked this place for some nice subs. On the outside, and even on the inside, it doesn't look so great. But service was excellent and they had a menu of a number of subs (and breakfast items, which we'll check out sometime later). We ordered a three cheese sub, which was big. But what was really tasty were the potato skin french fries. DELICIOUS. And this place was not that expensive at all -- though both times we've been there, we tipped more since the service was so good. We plan to return to try their breakfast, and perhaps other dishes on the lunch menu. read more

I stopped in for the first time during my lunch break today. They seem to be fairly quick, friendly and I like that they make food to order. I had a grilled chicken wrap, which was both very healthy and delish. Decor is dated, but I think that's it's charm. I'll definitely return soon. read more

ok food, nothing to rave about. To be honest it seems like they don't take time to prepare their meals. I never actually eaten at the deli itself( food was always delivered) but the times when I have stopped in there it did not look very appetizing. Very old decor and the staff were not that friendly along with some of the patrons who would prefer the whites only bathroom. read more

Wife and I had a Groupon so we decided to have lunch here. The menu is not very big. But you can order anything or combo of sandwiches that you want. Service was great and very friendly if you get here before the lunch rush. We both had the chicken gumbo soup (sm). The soup was very good and filling with plenty of chicken. I had the roast beef, turkey, bacon club/fries. Wife had the cobb salad with grilled chicken, dressing on the side. Nice salad plenty of chicken grilled perfectly, just not enough lettuce. Choice of any cold drink in fridges. Excellent value. Definitely worth the money. Looking forward to returning. read more

Breakfast sandwiches were just okay. Home fries were undercooked and delivery took 80 minutes. I live 2.4miles from the place.

My favorite restaurant near my work location and I order 2-3 times per week and my order is always correct. Food is consistently good, fresh, reasonably priced,and in large portions. I'm particularly fussy with my fried eggs as I like the yolks soft but not runny. They consistently cook them perfectly. For lunch, I love their fresh salads which are ginormous. Menu has variety and delivery is quick, so not much more to ask for. read more

So far so good! Got a bagel with egg and my boyfriend got a roast beef sandwich! Ingredients are fresh and tastes great! Cashier and cook were very sweet. Definitely will be back and I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick inexpensive meal! Especially recommend the Cole slaw, very good. read more

This isn't a 5-star dining experience, it's a deli! And they do what they do really well! I have been ordering from here for upwards of 5 years and I don't think I've ever gotten an incorrect order. Highly recommend their homemade soups and breakfast combos. Bonus: Their delivery service is awesome. (Special shoutout to Derek who has NEVER let me eat a cold breakfast!) read more
