Cozy Diner

Our experience at this diner location was a positive one. The biggest positive surprise was the fact that they serve Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice, which made it the first of several breakfast and restaurant places in Chico. My companion been asking for it for quite some time, and Cozy Diner had gone the extra mile and purchased the machine in plain sight. Not many patrons at 2 PM, but we were treated cordially and service was efficient at the able hands of our server, Imelda? Food requested:
Veggie Crepes, $13.39? Three crepes with in store made potatoes. One of the ingredients was Spinach, which was the lesser amount, with the most broccoli and tomatoes, etc. Turns out, after conversing with Charles, one of the managers, that is permissible to request more of the spinach, per say, and problem solved! Good looking plate with fresh avocado 🥑 4 Stars.
Ham, 3 over medium eggs, and hash browns, almost $14? Including a very nice and thick Rye Bread lightly toasted. Must right here and now say that our server was not joking when she said the ham was a big one, because it is. All items accounted for, and for ham enthusiasts it certainly delivered, at the very least on size. Sizable dish and filling. 4 Stars.
Orange Juice Large, $4.95. What can one say about freshly squeezed orange juice, if only for the novelty of it, 5 Stars.
This one beats the big D, in that is slightly better and priced. We also bought 2 bread puddings $2.75 each?
Mondays 2 for 1 free range fried chicken with a couple of drinks. Fridays all one can eat Fried Fish (Swai?), which I am curious to find out if they make a good one.
Overall nice experience, 4 Stars.

Nice Clam Chowder on Fridays compared to several other establishments, better than most. 2 Bowls with warm cornbread, $12+ plus gratuity for a job well done.
5/24/2024 Today the fish, in fish and chips had declined in serious fashion. Salad with blue cheese a tremendous insipid no no. Service nice, which only proved the valid point that quality in the restaurant industry is truly elusive. Good one day, so so next, disappointing with zero warnings. 3 Stars.

First time for early bird breakfast, great deal. We ordered the carrot cake to go. The most awesome carrot cake. It was not too sickly sweet like others I've had. It was moist and full of pecan nuts. We bought the homemade apple pie the next day and was very disappointed. The apple filling was tasteless and watery which made the bottom soggy. There was no spices in the filling. The crust was also tasteless. They need to upgrade the apple pie. I'm now hesitant to try the other pies.

The dinner is really cozy, the food is not, bacon was not crispy felt like it was old, pancakes were ok also, syrup was not good also felt like old, orange juice is great. Service was not the best either, nobody came to refill water or even offer us water we had to ask for it.

Great prices, quality of food is great as well. We entered the restaurant with over 15 people and it didn't stop our server from taking care of us, and doing it with a smile, at least I assume she is smiling under the face mask. The chaos of our family is always something of a stress point for any server, and our server was on top of her game.

I would recommend the French toast no matter what, it was a cinnamon roll bread!! All I can say is YUM!

The special where you get country fried steak, eggs, sausage link, bacon, hash browns, and option of toast, Belgian waffle, pancake, french toast, or my favorite a biscuit and gravy. Gravy is not super salty so I added some cause I'm a salty fella. All of that breakfast for $13.99!!!!

Recommend this place for sure, if you have large parties they have a spot in the back fao you can be open to speaking with family without worrying about loudness.

Man, cozy diner...how you've fallen from grace. Food was not great, service was abysmal, pricing is just too dang expensive. At no point did a wait staff member offer my accompanied person a refill on their water. I rarely come here anymore due to how expensive they got, now I just have more reason not to come back again.

Kid-friendliness: They offer crayons and a coloring page for kids to draw on. They also offer a kids menu.

I used to buy pies from here about 5 years ago. I tried a piece couole weeks ago and I was very disappointed....it seems like these days so many places are altering thier recipes due to cutting costs etc. (or they utilize different suppliers?) and the QUALITY disappears. I bake pies myself at home when I want something that will knock my socks off--but still...I hate to be disappointed. I wont buy any pies from there anymore but I can tell you they make a fantastic CHICKEN FRIED STEAK!! Just keepin it real

This was a great experience. We really enjoyed our food. Large selection of all kinds of food. Service was great. Awesome atmosphere. The only DOWN side. There is a little sign as you walk in the front door that says that youre charged a processing fee to use your credit card or debit card. I totally understand this. I just wish the waitress would have mentioned it before she ran my card or a sign at the credit card machine would been great. Other than that definitely recommend. Check it out if youre ever in the area.

Our family enjoyed the homey and cozy atmosphere of this classic American diner. They have a senior and a kids menu so all ages were happy. The place was quite busy and the tables were a bit crowded, but we didnt have to wait long. The food was as expected and hit that comfort spot. I appreciated the friendly and straight to the point waitress. Anything fried was well made and the ranch dressing was yummy. Kid-friendliness: Classic kid menu and offered a Sundae add on which made my 8 year old happy.

Turkey dinner, mushy stuffing, wilted salad, lack of any turkey meat, cornbread was asked for twice and finally thrown onto our table. Hamburger was lousy. Our waitress had an attitude and seemed put out that we had to remind her that she hadnt brought the cornbread. We will not be back. Oh I forgot about the phone ringing constantly and then they started cleaning the floors with a vacuum cleaner at 6:00 p.m.

Love this place!! The food is always amazing and so is the service!! I got the French dip and it was delicious. I love that they use nice thick pieces of tender meat instead of super thin rubbery slices like most other places!! My daughter got the Kids Funny Face meal she loved it! (Instead of making the ears 2 separate round pancakes they made it have connected pointy ears which was super cool and weve never had that anywhere before!! It was amazing, they did a smiley face with whip cream but she wanted it to be sad face because its sad im about to eat its face lmao so I rearranged the whip cream to a frown lol.

I found this place on google and it had several stars so I figured I d try it out. Never in my life have I experienced food that awful. I ordered the New York stake with a stuff potato and steamed veggies. The veggies legit looked like veggies out of a frozen winco bag. The meat was over cooked and the cheese they put on the potato was legit a slice of cheese. They advertise on the site that they are affordable and good food. 80 dollars for the worst food of my life. Highly recommend not going. Unless you are over 70 years old with no taste buds.

I grew up in Chico with Jacks and Cozy Dinner, and Koloa Kitchen. The food was a fair price and very good.. Local open here and that is something to be proud of. But today the manager had her 2 kids with her in the restaurant and carrying her baby around. Know I do understand that its hard times and schedules and illnesses. But that not a good excuse to have your children there. The food was bad... and they mess up the whole order. Cozy dinner had a few regular there that are in there 80 and 90s. What if one of those kids have a cold. That could be very serious to the elderly.
