We've been here a couple of times and each time the food has been mediocre. My husband got the chillaquilles with steak. They charge extra for protein. I had the hipster meal. It was okay. I will go back and try other items. read more

Purchased $150 in gift cards at this restaurant, right before Christmas. Drove 45 minutes to meet my children for breakfast with intention to use the already purchased gift cards. When it came to pay the $120 bill I was told "my manager said the gift card system is down so we can't accept your gift cards." I went up to the counter to speak to the manager and was told the gift card system has been down for weeks. I explained that was not my problem and that I had already purchased $150 from the restaurant. He told me he would not accept the cards but could take my name and number and have the owner call me...never received a call. read more

Who trains these waitresses? Well, you're not doing a very good job. Lackadaisical forgetful work ethic. Not crowded yet they can't remember to bring the Splenda we asked for. Coffee? Are you so afraid to give us a refill on the coffee? You're charging good prices, don't pretend you didn't see we need more coffee in a timely manner! The prices are high for what it is. This is not a customer, repeat friendly place to dine at. read more

Cozy Corner - Harlem Ave - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow, I am so incredibly impressed by Cozy Corner. Sure, it took forever to open, but I am so thankful that they finally did because the food is incredible. My friend and I came here yesterday for lunch, and even at 11:30, the place was jammed. The parking lot is pretty large, but it wraps around the building, which I hate because people can drive like idiots in such a narrow passageway. Anyways, let's get back on track to the food and service. The people who were taking care of us were such sweethearts. When we first walked in, since there were only two of us, my friend and I were asked if we wanted to wait a little bit for a booth or if we just would like to sit at the front "bar-like" area. We just agreed to sit at the front bar like area, which was fine, but next time I would much rather like to sit at a normal table for a more intimate, comfortable experience. Because of our seats, we sadly did not get to enjoy or see much of the actual restaurant dining area, so I cannot yet review this part of my experience too much because I was staring at the cooks the whole time I ate, haha! Kinda reminded me of Steak n' Shake when people sit right near the cash register. Nice though for people who are alone and want to have a quick lunch or cup of coffee. Our waitress was so nice and helpful, and it was evident that she liked her job, or she pretended really well ;) Very helpful and she was very attentive to us and always asked me if I needed more coffee. The prices are not too bad. I ordered a chicken stir-fry on the dinner portion of the menu, and it came with either a soup or salad. I chose to eat the chicken enchilada soup, which was seriously heaven in a cup because it was so thick and a tad spicy. It also had crispy chips on top which made the soup so much more enjoyable. My chicken stir fry was very good, as well, though the teriyaki sauce they used did give me heartburn. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the chicken comes on top of fresh rice and mixed with snap peas and some other veggies on top. This meal was $12.99, but the portion size was large, so I do not think this is an unreasonable price for what I got. Their coffee was also fresh and not too strong or bitter in taste. It tasted a little nutty. My friend ordered a skillet, which she absolutely loved, and she said everything tasted fresh and well-cooked. I will definitely be returning to see what other items I can try on the menu! read more

Long time, customer today a waitress felt she can reach across my table where my food is to grab a menu, very rude and in polite needless to say not happy with that service. read more

I've been here a few times in the past few months. It's ok, that's it. The food was hit or miss. It was either perfect or just kind of ok. Friendly servers and hosts. The place is always tidy. read more

Service is always great for brunch. I often enjoy the breakfast skillets! Wish they offered gluten free pancakes.

Was good when they first opened Now it's just a money grab Cheap quality ingredients and poorly cooked dishes for a premium price Two thumbs down! Last time ordering from these crooks. read more

So good. Delicious Denver & ham/cheese omlett. The hash browns were crispy on the outside & soft on the inside, perfection. We dined Friday morning, first booth to the north of the entrance. The gentleman who served us was attentive & anticipated our every need. I noticed the busman/server assistant was superb at making sure every table was pre-bused & cleaned in record time. Kudos. I watched how the staff was working in harmony. This is y I enjoy dining a Cozy Corners since high school. read more

Been here a few times I always get the Capone lemon berry pancakes they are SO good. I ask for extra filling too. I like how they have a combo deal there , eggs and choice of sausage for an extra $4 . They have turkey sausage Pattie's too. It gets very busy but they do have free valet if you can't find a spot in their parking lot . The staff has always been very nice and even when it's super busy , they always come check on us and see if we need anything . It's definitely a great breakfast place added to the neighborhood. They took down Sally's and built this in its place , way better "new" food and updated decor . read more

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SECRET PARKING LOT? I was heading to meet a friend at the Cozy Corner 1 week ago and noticed the "secret parking lot" is no more. No mas! What happened to the secret parking lot on Rascher (off Harlem Ave)? It no longer exists. All the Cozy Corner signs were removed from the secret parking lot. The good news is that you can still catch breakfast specials Monday through Thursday $6.99. -- they have a good selection of breakfast specials and the portions are decent. You will leave very satisfied. They don't offer breakfast specials with the $6.99 price point on weekends. Expect to spend $10 or more on weekends for the same hearty breakfast you can get for $6.99 (during the week). The service here is hit or miss -- depending on your server. Some servers at the Cozy Corner are much better than others. The bottom line: the food is decent but I've had better breakfast dishes at other restaurants. I usually go here for their $6.99 breakfast specials. The secret parking lot does not exist anymore. The parking lot is extremely small. The best time to go here is between 6 and 8 a.m. Some people park next door at Wendy's parking and walk over to a Cozy Corner. We usually come between 6 and 7 a.m. We have never had a problem finding a parking spot in their tiny parking lot. My 3-star rating is based on several factors: Parking lot is super small Service can be hit or miss $6.99 breakfast specials not offered on weekends Water glass may not be refilled for a while read more

The food is always fresh, our servers have always had a great attitude, the wait time has not been all that bad. Weekends, of course, are always busy. That is how a lot of restaurants are on the weekends. The restaurant itself is clean. They have valet parking if you choose to utilize the service. The servers were very careful during the pandemic with masking up. I also like the environment. There is more diversity with the customers that go to this restaurant. I like that. read more

The food was very good. The staff in the front was friendly and the buss boy was friendly. Unfortunately our server was rude and didn't check up on us. I did come on a Sunday so I understand it was busy but that's no excuse to forget about your table. She poured coffee on our champurado and it seemed like she got offended when we told her about it. Also we had to wait over 10 minutes for our check, didn't check up on use so eventually I had to get up and get it. If you can't work well under pressure, the service industry isn't for you, as a server myself I would know. read more

I like the food and the morning breakfast special before 9am is a good deal. Cozy Corner has multiple locations and I think the service can be good somewhere and better elsewhere. The ambiance is fine, it's a diner that's not too old or dingy, but i even remember anything about it other than the burgundy colors, (if that's even right!). read more

Cozy Corner - Harlem Ave - This is the "four pieces" of French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here on New Years Eve for breakfast with my family. They weren't doing the breakfast specials that day because it was considered a holiday. The absolute best thing about this restaurant was the service provided by Alex and his overall presence and joy. He was an incredible server and he seemed genuinely happy. He answered all of my questions and kept my water glass filled. I like to drink a lot of water! We had ham and cheese omelette with pancakes and hash browns, two eggs, bacon and hash browns and chiliquiles. I chose incorrect between this and chicken fajita omelette. I can't have dairy so they were too spicy for me and I needed the sour cream to balance out the heat. I also thought they were pretty expensive all things considered. They did have good flavor and I would not order them again. Nice job with the remodel at this location! read more

New location just opened a week ago. Lots of parking too. What we ordered: Chilaquiles with salsa verde and steak, and strawberry banana French toast. Food thoughts: Chilaquiles were tasty and the salsa verde was great. Steak was cooked well. Our over easy eggs were nice and runny. The strawberry banana french toast was semi sweet, which I like. They were pretty fluffy and filling. Very good. Also, the coffee was smooth and roasty with hints oh hazelnut, I think. Didn't have that burnt taste that other places have with low quality coffee. Portions: Large. But still managed to destroy both our plates (an indicator that we like the food). Service: Our server Alex was very polite and upbeat. He took care of our table very well by checking on us at the right times. Conclusion: We'll be back for more. read more

So excited that this place is finally open! It was slammed when we arrived, and parking was a pain, but they had open seats at the counter so we were sat immediately. I ordered the corned beef hash and 2 eggs ($10.99), and my husband had the corned beef hash skillet ($11.99). We both ordered a side of hollandaise sauce ($.99 extra) and had our eggs poached because we like to build our own benedicts. The food was tasty! Corned beef is homemade and not too salty. I also chose cheesy grits over hash browns, which is a nice option to have. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dishes and left bursting at the seams. Our waitress, Paige, was super friendly as well. Only downsides would be tiny parking lot and a bit watered down coffee. Otherwise, awesome food, great service, and little to no wait time at the counter! read more

Good diner to visit in the Norwood Park area. I visited this location last week on a weekday morning, and it really was busy (which was a pleasant surprise given the toll that Covid has taken on locally owned businesses). We were seated quickly and attended to by the wait staff in a timely manner. The food was tasty and well priced with appropriate serving sizes. The only piece of constructive criticism is for the busboy who cleared away our table without asking if we were finished or acknowledging our presence, for that matter. In general, I recommend this location if you're looking for a quick bite for reasonable prices. read more

Our server Robert was really nice. I ordered the eggs Benedict that comes with hashbrowns and fruit. I also ordered pancakes. What's cool is that when you order their hot chocolate, you get one free refill :) the restaurant was super clean and everything tasted great! Will come back again. read more

MY JONESING WAS SPOT ON! My fave place before 'Rona hit and was desperate for their CHEESY GRITS! Well, many places have increased pricing, slashed portions, and although I hate to say it, serve up soured wait staff since reopening. But not at Cozy! Although there weren't as many patrons as usual and when you walk in there's a distinct scent of bleach/cleaning fluid (which I like, actually). The same cheerful staff greeted me. I'm ALWAYS torn between the strawberry salad with chicken, the veggie melt and breakfast. Breakfast won. I went with Denver omelette and cheesy grits. The same dense golden omelette awaited me. Bursting with crisp veggies and creamy cheese, it didn't disappoint! And the grits?!?!?! Don't get me started! Creamy, smooth, dense, salty and cheesy. Best on NW Side. Like the kind I get in New Orleans. Service excellent. Price on point. Don't forget about these guys. They're doing dine-in, carry-out and Grub Hub. read more

my family and I come here quite often, their food has always been good. Love their cheesecake French toast, skirt steak, and Mexican omelet.

Ordered steak and eggs. Eggs, hash browns, and pancakes all O.K. Steak was hard and dry, ordered medium rare. Told waiter and he said nothing. I was brought the check and asked if everything was O.K. I again said no, look I did not eat the steak. Asked for a manager and I was told it was my fault I ordered the steak well done. Nothing he would do about my problem. I do not think this was the way to handle the situation. ART C read more

Cozy corner has always been my favorite since the Logan square original! This location is very nice, clean, and professional. Social distance is being used with only 50% capacity. Food is great. Friendly staff! Absolutely great portions for the price usually kind of packed on the weekends which is actually a good thing extremely great spacing for this covid life we are living.. Parking was available and they have valet parking also..Parking was always a drawback in the Sally's days..not anymore. Raquel was our server...she is in the 99th percentile of servers all time...next time in I will ask to be seated in her section...that's how good she is. Only negative was the eggs, very very small..they should consider using extra large..they looked puny next to the potatoes. Go to has been Denny's..always thinking about value...Cozy Corner is the New King. P.S. if you are lucky enough to be seated near the kitchen, you will wear the pancake/sausage/potato smell on your clothes when you leave...it's a good thing. I would definitely recommend them for breakfast, nice clean atmosphere. read more
