Best Burgers In The Galaxy! Best Burger Joint In The Middle of Kansas. Great Ambiance & Service. Buy Them By The Sack Full!!!

YALL! If you are looking for a sweet little charming restaurant to eat in then this is it. Seeing lots of people complaining about the onions on the burgers--its legit not that big of a deal, they tell you on at least three boards before you order--its not like it's a surprise. If you love the sweet little cozy diner vibe, then it's totally worth it. The staff was super kind, owner was friendly. Food was pretty good (maybe not the best in Kansas but it was tasty). If you don't like this restaurant, it clearly isn't targeted to you because everyone in there LOVED it! read more

What a gem for Salina and the state of Kansas. This place is charming and has history. Great chatting with the young lady today and the owner. What amazing people. Will be back and make sure to buy more burgers for our guys in the manufacturing business. Keep up the amazing service and the tasty burgers!!! read more

Cozy Inn - Fast Food Near Me - Salina, Kansas

This place comes up on several lists as the best burger in Kansas. I had to check it out. I didn't know much about this place before showing up. I was expecting a big juicy burger but was surprised to see a slider. Is it the best burger I have had in the state of Kansas?... well that is subjective I suppose. They are pretty good sliders... maybe the best sliders in KS. The real kudos need to go to the 100+ year history and sticking to the classic menu. It is simplicity at its finest. They sell fresh, made to order slider hamburgers. NO CHEESE! Just ketchup, mustard, onions and pickle on a steamed bun. No fries... just chips and sodas to go with your bag of sliders. It's worth a stop by if you're in the area. read more

Such a fun historic little burger joint. If you sit inside they serve the sliders 2 at a time served fresh off the grill until you are satiated. Inside space is decorated with tons of articles from the mid-1900s to entertain you while waiting for your next taste. Plenty of outdoor seating available too. read more

This place is pure history. No fuss no mess they have what they have and that's it. Great slider burgers for a great price. 2nd oldest burger place in the state of Kansas. A great experience for the grandkids. Still cooking up burgers on the original flat top. Service is excellent. Worth the drive every time read more

I've driven through Salina multiple times either going to St. Louis or down to Oklahoma. I had seen the signs on the highway but never stopped in. This time I was staying in town and decided to stop in and try the burgers. I wasn't disappointed I ate 5 of them at the counter. The employees at the counter were super nice chatting to us about the sliders and things to do in town while I was there. This is a no frills joint however I would drive to Salina (over 400 miles) just for these sliders. My only regret is I didn't eat there my first night and they weren't open yet when I had to leave to get home. My mini me wanted to go back too which is a bonus as he can be picky when we are out sometimes. Highly recommend this place. read more

Such a good little place to get slider burgers! They are simple but yet really tasty! Would definitely recommend this little spot!

Place is great but, it's 2026 and most people want cheese on their burger! Why would you not make a little extra profit and give the people what they want and put cheese on your burgers? Seems like a crazy decision to me. Not hatin on this place-I like it and the burgers are good but, they could be better with cheese and some mayo. read more

This was one of my favorite things to experience when I was in Salina, Kansas. What a cute little gem of a place and the staff was so nice when we arrived. They welcome us to have a seat at the counter. It was limited space with just five seats... Making it nice and "cozy"! I love the aroma of onions! If you don't, this might not be the place for you. It's the key to these tasty little gems. They gave us a great overview when we first arrived that we basically keep the burgers coming until we call it that we're full. They said the average is about four per person. I was actually full after three but the guy didn't understand that I was cutting it off and he gave me two more. I couldn't let them go to waste so of course I ate them. I don't drink soda pop too often, but it was fun to see some of the old flavors that I grew up on so I had to have a grape pop. I also liked to add extra ketchup to my burgers. I will definitely be joining this experience for a long time. I wish it was closer to home and we had something like this here in Seattle. read more

Had a chance to sit at the counter inside and chat with the team during a slower weekday lunch service. The burgers are a tiny bit drier than what you might be used to with White Castle but right on flavor-wise. If you're not sure, order 4 first. 6 was really filling for me. read more

Food is excellent, but then they only cook and serve one thing Cozy Inn hamburgers. Those of us that were raised there went whenever we hit town, we had for the cozy in for lunch. Lines will be down the street around the corner. The establishment has not changed. In 102 or 103 years, they still have the same establishment with the same counter, the same stools and the same grill. The cozy and hamburger is still made the same way. I took my son there and he couldn't understand why. He bitten into the hamburger and said now I understand. read more

If your go-to is burger "sliders", this is a LOCAL stop, in Salina KS, serving no frill bite-size burgers for over 100 years! Simply made with a fresh grilled ground beef patty, add pickles, mustard and ketchup on a soft slider bun ... without cheese (not an option). Get a combo meal with a variety of chip offerings plus a beverage. Friendly service at the order window for takeout, or sit at a picnic table to eat. Very limited, casual indoor seating at a small counter (only 4-5 seats). Our meal cost was ~$8pp, having shared a burger meal, extra burger, chips and drinks. Overall, 3.5 rated experience for food quality, good service and limited ambience. Burgers were tender and freshly cooked, served hot and ready to eat. If particular about condiments, mention it when you order. I like cheeseburgers, but these were not available on their menu, so ONLY hamburgers offered. For a successful and simple burger business, they have a strong customer following. Enjoy this "slider" experience if this is your kinda craving! read more

An American classic! Found out about this place from an article talking about the best burger spot in every state. Was driving through Kansas and decided to stop in. A tiny little dining room with vintage articles and decorations from the years of media coverage this little hot spot has received. Pictures and magazine covers, cover the walls with their simple and to the point menu. Burgers. Sliders to be specific. Grilled on a flat top, with onions pressed into the meat, served with ketchup, mustard, and pickle on a soft steamed bun! The team inside was extremely friendly and very helpful. They gave us a quick rundown of what they serve and had us in and out in minutes. The burgers are delicious little 2 bite sliders. Tons of flavor in a little package. We were not disappointed!! read more

They could not remove the onions because they're 103 years if tradition which I get but I hate onion

Best place to get a burger Steve and his employees are amazing highly recommend such a cool little place to eat!

This place is awesome. The history of this slider hamburger spot is awesome. Every time I am in Salina, I go by and get a bag of the little burgers. The people are always kind. Love it. read more

Very nice burgers here. I grew up in McPherson and had never visited the Cozy Inn. I am now in my early 50's. On my way home from visiting my dad in Colorado, I stopped by for a sack. I tried both the single and double burgers. I think I prefer the singles, which is rare for me. I added mustard. Yum! The service was quick and efficient. They have been here 100 years or so. I enjoyed eating outside. I took heed of the warning from others about eating inside because I still had a 4-hour drive home and didn't want to smell like onions. :) Great experience! read more

Cozy Inn - The walk up. - Fast Food Near Me - Salina, Kansas

One of the last 6 stool burger joints in the country. Sitting at the counter is perfect, but you will smell like the restaurant all day. A must stop if you like what White Castle originally was! read more

I first stopped at the Cozy Inn several years ago on one of my trips across Kansas. I spotted a small sign along I-70 advertising the Cozy Inn and being a sucker for a good burger, we stopped for lunch. This is now one of the highlights when driving across Kansas. Nothing fancy. Buy a sack (6) and you get 6 burgers in a sack - no other packaging or wrappers. Want something to drink, they sell cans of soda. Want something with your burger, they sell bags of chips. That's it - it's all about the burger. The burgers are small, grilled on a bed of onions and served with a pickle. Great burgers, great service. Note - there are only about 5 or 6 seats inside but there are picnic tables outside. Get off the freeway and try the Cozy Inn, if you're a burger connoisseur, you won't regret stopping . read more

$2.36 for a double and there's NO option of cheese. This is a sliderrrr! If you're gonna serve a snack for that much, the least you can do is provide cheese please. I couldn't justify paying that much for a dozen. 6 doubles is perfect for a taste for my partner and I. He insisted he needed more when we were ordering so the compromise was ordering 6 singles lol. After trying both, we've come to the conclusion we should have ordered all singles as they taste more balanced. I think the flavor everyone raves about is hype on Yelp. I think IF anything people drop by for the nostalgia and history. This place has been around since the 20s! Double slider 3.5/10 on this onion hamburger. 4/10, single slider. Add some cheese and I THINK I'd give it a 5/10. We TRIED driving to a general store and a cvs nearby and I did not find cheese anywhere in sight! I get that there's inflation but it's a darn slider! I may just be extra upset because we paid that much and there was no cheese! Please to the owner, add some cheese to your menu. It takes a second to slap on and your customers would think the price is more worth it. read more

Cozy Inn - Single slider - Fast Food Near Me - Salina, Kansas

Great little burger joint. Over 100 years of "smash-burger sliders". Never frozen fresh Kansas beef. Two ladies working were awesome and wonderful ambassadors for the Cozy Inn. Sliders, chips and soda. Nothing more, nothing else needed!! If we are passing through again, we will be back!! read more

A century old hidden treasure. Same grill used since 1920s. You can touch it the place is so small. A few stools at counter. Onions and grease galore. Buy them by the bag. The original owner knew the founder of White Castle which began in Wichita and long gone. A spectacular little place from a hamburger fairy tale. It's very hard to get to Salina Kansas from most of America - don't miss this tiny wonder. read more

This little gem is absolutely delicious!! This place has been open and in the same location for 101 years now. These little slider hamburgers come with onions and pickles, no cheese for $ 1.59 each. This place has stood the test of time and for good reason, you will have to go to see why. The staff is friendly and nice. There is 6 bar stools to sit inside and eat but prepare to get cozy as this place is packed when open. This hamburger dive should definitely be on anyones bucket list of places to eat. See you there! read more

This place is so old school but I love it! A friend in Salina said we had to get these burgers and man was she right! Growing up in the south we had Krystal burger which is kind of like White Castle. That's what these remind me of but wayyyyy better! Fresh ingredients shine through and that griddle clearly has years and years of flavor cooked into. I can not wait to come out there again! read more

What a treat to visit here! The Cozy Inn name fits them well, the diner dating back to 1922 is small and has that hometown welcoming feel. Menu is their famous hamburgers ( ground fresh daily beef) with grilled onion, chips and drink. A+ rating from fast friendly service to their additively delicious lil old fashion hamburgers. read more

Thicker than White Castle but a similar concept with little sliders. Only side is chips and can of soda. Friendly service. Nice that they can customize the toppings, though. Patties tasted of beef and, obviously onion. I am kind of a grilled burger taste lover (no not you faker, Burger King!) so I wasn't that into these. I really missed cheese. As a bag of burgers place, given the cost I'd give it 4 stars. For just "good burgers" I'd say, 2-3 stars, but again- I like mine more grilly, or more beefy, or more pepper perhaps. read more

The food was decent & worth the wait. The building doesn't look like they've updated the decor - other than to comply with heath codes - which does add to the charm of the place. However, being told the punch card - based on 6 cooked burgers - and not frozen - was not. "You bought 6 cooked burgers?" "Cool, here's your punch." "You bought 6 frozen burgers?" "Sorry, those don't count." (The punch card states nothing about cooked vs. uncooked; only "doubles" are addressed as not being part of the promotion.) read more

Love the vibe of this place!! Classic slider sized burgers in the original building where it first opened. You can read more about the history at the place itself. The service is pretty quick even though it can get busy. While the small counter can hold several folks to eat, I recommend grabbing your burgers to go and eating elsewhere so you don't smell like Cozy Inn all day. read more

If you like unseasoned burgers with crunchy onions then this is your place. If you like your burgers to have actual flavor, maybe don't come here? Cool gimmick, but gimmick is kind of all they have going for them. read more

Loose meat sliders with onions, the only way they cook them. Served with K,M and P or not. No cheese, no fries. Can soda and bagged chips. They have it down to a science. Unfortunately our order did not get written down and we waited while others after us were served. That being said we would go back as the sliders were very good! read more

Good little burger place. Like a Little Tavern or Krystal but better! Nice service and worth the stop on our way to Denver

Really enjoyed my last experience. Sadly this experience made us super-hangry. Oof - things fell apart this time around. There was a bit of a line and that's fine, but things kept getting slowed down. The one window worker had to holler out and then wait for customers to mosey back up to the window to get their food out of the way. Not sure why nobody could just wait on the benches next to the window. Also, several to go orders of several bags clearly were slowing down service for people who waited. Don't take to go, if you can't support both. The grilled onions were weak and half the onions weren't even grilled. Also, we ordered the sliders with everything. They asked if we wanted pickles and exactly one had one pickle. They took my name off the credit card and hollered it out when our food was ready way after the person ahead of us. No one calls me that name. How about you ask what name to call? read more

After reading that this was one of the best burgers in the country, we had to try it as we crossed Kansas. If you like White Castle, then this is the place for you. The sliders were fresh - and totally a greasy spoon vibe. I was glad I read ahead about ordering at the window and not going inside. :) The wait seemed a little long for what we ordered, but I got the impression locals knew to call ahead. I think the friendly guy who took our order might have been the only person working. Definitely worth trying once! read more

1st time coming to Cozy Inn for the little sliders & they were absolutely amazing. We've been visiting a friend who lives in the area & stopped in for a little history. The staff was friendly, courteous & knowledgeable. The sliders were hot, oniony burger deliciousness. Definitely worth your time to stop in for a tasty burger treat. read more

Yah baby, old school flat pressed burgers by the bag and yah they were amazing, but so was the smell of cooked onions. Do not, and I absolutely mean it, do not go into this burger joint if you have any type of business meeting or a hot date scheduled afterwards. Simply walk right to the side and order from the "walk-up" window! The interior is that of Bobs Inn (if you know, you know) where it seats about 6 so if you are dining in, then order, eat, and get out because this place is hopping. Burgers were well worth the stop and fairly priced. Please don't ask for no onions or to add cheese as although they will just smile at you, they are really laughing at you because there is no option for that. At about 100 years old, this smart little burger joint really knows how to make a burger. read more
