    A neighborhood gem that stands the test of time!

    The Cozy Corner was one of our absolute favorite spots over 20 years ago when my wife and I lived right around the corner on the border of Bucktown and Logan Square.

    We recently came back, and while the restaurant has expanded physically, it still captures the same friendly, welcoming feel it had two decades ago. They have implemented a great new online waitlist system now. You can join the line remotely before you get to the restaurant, which saves time. We still waited about 15 to 20 minutes after arriving even though we had joined the line ahead of time, but it was still much faster than waiting from scratch!

    Sadly, we learned during our visit that the owner we fondly remember, Nery (sp?), passed away about three months ago. However, the legacy is in great hands. The service remains incredibly efficient, the staff is welcoming, and the food is still absolutely excellent. It is so heartwarming to see a classic Chicago staple carrying on its legacy so beautifully. Highly recommend!

    This is a friendly neighborhood spot that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. The menu is loaded with comforting favorites, from eggs and omelets to sandwiches and classic diner plates. The portions are generous, the food comes out hot, and the service makes you feel at home. It’s a reliable place to enjoy a relaxed meal any day of the week.

    The food at Cozy Corner is actually pretty good, but the pricing structure felt like a bait and switch experience.

    I stopped in for a quick sandwich and asked the server what the best option was for something fast and reasonably priced. I was told that the patty melt was a good deal. I specifically asked what came with it for the listed price of $11.99 and was told clearly that it included both the sandwich and fries. Based on that explanation, I agreed that it was a fair deal and placed the order.

    When the food arrived, the sandwich was only room temperature and not hot, and the fries were somewhat cold as well. I was hungry and did not want to make a big issue at the time, so I ate the meal.

    When I received the check, I was honestly shocked. There was an additional six dollar charge added, labeled as a value meal, essentially charging me extra for the fries that I had already been told were included. When I questioned this, I was told that it was Saturday and that prices fluctuate similar to Uber or Lyft. That explanation made no sense to me, especially since I had asked upfront what was included in the price.

    When I reiterated that I was told the meal included fries, the person handling the situation simply put their hands up and said there was nothing they could do, stating that if you get fries, that is considered a meal deal and costs more.

    The way this situation was handled felt very shady and dismissive. Transparency matters, and customers should not be surprised with extra charges after being told one thing at the time of ordering. If you decide to eat at this location, I strongly recommend being cautious, asking for everything in writing on the menu, and double checking prices before ordering, because I personally felt misled as a customer. Never Again..

    Excellent food and service. Mexican Hot Chocolate and horchata were great. The meat skillet and breakfast burritos had a lot of flavor. All our over eggs were cooked to perfection. Our waiter Rodrigo was very helpful and provided great service. Everything was top notch. The spealcial Abuelita pancakes we perfection according my wife and daughter.
