Always a pleasant experience at this restaurant! Staff is very friendly, and food is always great! Clean tables and restrooms, great for families to enjoy a good meal. 5 stars all around. Also, my go-to is the chilaquiles verdes... ALWAYS a delicious dish!

Cozy Corner on Harlem Avenue is a great spot for a laid-back lunch. I had the turkey sandwich—tender turkey on fresh bread with crisp lettuce and tomato—plus a side of mixed fruit that was light and refreshing. My partner’s Cuban sandwich was perfectly pressed, with melty cheese, roast pork, ham, pickles, and mustard, alongside a creamy broccoli soup that hit the spot. Friendly service and fair prices make this place a winner.

Stepped off a 12 hour flight from a foreign land and was craving good ol’ American diner food during a layover. Took the L a few stops because I just didn’t want airport food. Ham and cheese omelette and hash browns with a nice hot cup of tea. Held me over until I got home on my next flight. Friendly staff. Little pricy but overall, but you get a lot of food of good quality. I’d come back if I ever stop over in Chicago again.
