Cozy Table Restaurant

I enjoyed my time here. Our server was a friendly young woman who was greeted by name several times by local, frequent customers. Although this is a typical diner with burgers and fries or eggs and bacon, they offer saganaki, as well.

Dirty. Wife would not use restroom because of how dirty it was. Overall cleanliness of the store was poor. From the window sills to the nasty tables, everything was covered in grease and/​or dirt from the floor to the ceiling. The food was overpriced for the quality. The eggs tasted like water, the bacon tasted like pure grease, the hash browns tasted like grease and were soggy with very little flavor. We also found a hair in the order of pancakes. At this point in time we are ready to just leave and we have just received our food. The hair situation was brought to the manager’s attention. Rather than apologizing, she charged us for the two items we had eaten. NEVER DID THEY APOLOGIZE FOR THE HAIR. We are regulars at the Village Inn in Ellettsville and can promise you that is where you should go. Do not waste your time with The Cozy Table.

Based on the breakfast served to me I am not sure why this restaurant is not rated lower. The eggs, sausage and pancakes were all stone cold though cooked properly. The apples for the pancakes are in a thick glaze – definitely tastes like from a can. The women’s bathroom was dirty and old. The kitchen area is visible and also looked sort of disgusting. My advise is go somewhere else

Cozy Table is a nice little family restaurant west of campus. I’ve only been here for breakfast but I love their Chicken Fried Steak! And always great service when I go. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely be back soon.

This is a very tired restaurant. Had lunch which was a very dry patty melt, with 3 pickles on the side sitting on old lettuce. Fries had a seasoned coating. No ketchup on the table or mayo. Waitress never came back to check on me or the food or refill my water. Maybe breakfast would have been a better option.

Stopped in on a Sunday and they were slammed. Small place. The food was fine and the pricing was very fair. Mainly locals in there for sure. The waitresses were hustling and working there tails off, hats off to them. The place needs to be a bit cleaner, but I get it they were really busy. Food was ok. I had some eggs, pancakes and bacon. Eggs were ice cold and the pancakes were warm. Again, nice local place, but not someplace I would go out of my way again to go too. There biggest challenge is people are piling in and clogging the main doorway and people are trying to pay for there meals and get out. Traffic flow needs to be improved.

I just had what I will call one of THEE most disgusting restaurant experiences in my entire nearly 50-​yr life. I was enjoying the country fried steak breakfast with sausage gravy and eggs. I had taken about 3 bites of my fried steak when I noticed something orange underneath. I pushed the steak over a little more and a hunk of old cheese glued onto the plate became exposed. I moved the steak back further and pieces of onions and more cheese and some kind of stain from something else was underneath my steak. It was CLEAR that my food had been put onto a used, dirty plate that had not been cleaned.
After calling over the waitress who agreed that it looked like I had been given a used plate, she asked if I wanted my meal re-​made. I hesitated, but agreed. I got NO apology from the management and NO discount. The owner stood in the corner looking smugly during our entire meal. I will never ever EVER step foot in this establishment again. The waitress was pleasant enough and she tried, but the way the manager handled the situation was piss poor. DISGUSTING. I STRONGLY recommend people avoid this place. Plenty of other places where the owners actually care about the quality they are putting out.

I’ve had better breakfast/​brunch. But not in Bloomington. And I have tried almost everywhere. And most breakfasts in Bloomington are not as cheap as the Cozy Table. If you care about the creativity of your food, or think price represents quality, then you’re looking in the wrong place. But if you want something that just tastes like a good American Brunch, Cozy Table is it. I was surprised by how few people associated with the university came here until I realized that the clientele (many of the stereotypes of the west side of Bloomington) turns a lot of people off. People think that can’t be good food. Fine by me, more space for those of us who like the food and the fact that the staff are friendly and don’t care as much about ambience or class.

Pretty good breakfast. I don’t venture off in Bloomington much. But my coworker said its her fav breakfast spot. Lover of breakfast as I am, I had to take her up on it.
I had the cherry crepes with bacon and eggs. My eggs were light, bacon yummy and crêpes were filled with cherry.
It was a decent breakfast at a good price. You can’t beat that.

Classic diner/​greasy spoon. Nothing fancy here but exactly what you want from a diner in my mind… Which is hard to find in Southern Indiana.
Our bellies are always happy here with our late breakfasts.

We ordered biscuits and gray and eggs Benedict. The meat in the gravy was unidentifiable and the hollandaise sauce was disgusting. I’m assuming it came from a packet. Great oh though.

NASTY — don’t waste your time and go to Cloverleaf down the road!

Horrible conditions — dirty bugs in the dessert case, bathroom should be condemned and the kitchen was filthy. The statute at the cashier counter was dusty and dirty. I would never eat here again!

Owner/​manager is terrible. When I say terrible, I don’t simply mean at her job (albeit true), I would extend this to a human level. Not only did she cause a domestic scene with a twelve year old waitress in the middle of the dining room («apparently you can’t count!!! LISTEN. TO. ME!!!»), when I attempted to explain to our new server that it’s not exactly savory for paying customers to be brought into restaurant operations issues, rather than coming to apologize to our table, she instead continued to huff around the restaurant in a total fluster as if she was responsible for whether or not we were bombing Syria. When she overheard say to my partner that I was tempted to leave, she accosted our table NOT with an apology l, but rather a flippant explanation for why she HAD to speak to her that way because she had already told her which tables were hers. Lady, I’m a therapist by day. I don’t need to work weekend shifts in your restaurant explaining the delicacies of interpersonal business relationships. You have a kitchen. It’s for employees. Talk to them there. The dining room is… wait for it… FOR DINING. I wouldn’t go back if I was starving. Anyone who will belittle a staff member and then argue with a patron over their deplorable management skills does not deserve my dollar. I’ll find another greasy spoon.

Poor food, overpriced and crappy service. There are so many great restaurants in town. Do NOT wsste your time or money on this one.

i did not quite like it. called the cozy corner, but it did not feel cozy at all inside. décor is desperately wanting.
i like greasy spoons, i love diners with character, cuz it shows in their food. crisp bacon, hash, oj (canned, or better, fresh), eggs cooked properly in a variety of ways, some variety of toast, smuckers jelly, a dish of the day, and i’m a happy camper.
my friend had their sausage gravy over biscuits with a side of hash, and the gravy was not good at all. it lacked seasoning, and was way too gummy. our hash browns were not crispy enough on the side. when we commented on this to the cashier, she told us that we could have asked for crispier hash. fair enough, but one would have expected more of a golden brown, crisp skin to it without having to ask.
i had the 5 egg omelet. good, filling, greasy cheesey in the inside. it satisfied, but did not delight. pancakes were ok, syrup was awful, just awful. what can i say? meh food.
dessert display case definitely will not inspire you to taste their cakes or pies, which are clearly store bought (still in their plastic cases), with their frosting smashed onto the sides. It looked very sad.
our waitress was a 16 year old girl who was really pleasant and attentive, but she called my 70+ year old friend «hon». Whaaa? Hon, I don’t think you should be calling ladies old enough to be your grandma «hon», or «sugar» like you’re some tired old waitress whose been waiting tables for the past 30 years. It just rubbed me the wrong way i guess.
overall verdict? fairly good food for good prices. You know you probably won’t be returning anytime soon when the thought of denny’s excites you more than this place. tragic!

I came here after getting my hair cut. I was seated immediately and the waitress was at my table shortly. I ordered a water and a Spartan omelet. It’s a vegetarian omelet but I added gravy on top. I love gravy with my omelets. There was an omelet called farmers omelet, it is a sausage, cheese and gravy omelet but I wanted some veggies.
The omelet was pretty good! It had feta cheese on it. I’ve never had feta before so I decided to try it and I decided that I don’t like feta cheese. I’m not sure if feta cheese melts like other cheeses but it wasn’t melted in my omelet. The taste of the feta is strong but it tasted good in smaller amounts.
Pretty good food.

Uhhhhh, people make this place sound like some incredible hidden gem breakfast spot and it’s just not … but I think part of it is the actual clientele who go here. It’s a glorified Midwestern diner that appeals to the native Bloomington population of senior citizens and local families. It is not a creative, high quality joint (like Feast or Uptown).
Space is whatever. Food quality is very basic. Service was fine. Prices are affordable. I see the appeal for the less experienced.

I’m am oatmeal and blueberry guy but do go for biscuits and gravy from time to time and know good gravy. This was not very good gravy. Lots of gravy, yes, but lots of good gravy, no. Undertoasted English Muffins, overly sweet, cheap syrup did not help. Eggs were perfect and coffee was always in my mug. Service was superb, even for a Saturday. Pretty creative offerings but taste was lacking. Prices were excellent.
Lots of food, lots of selections so if you are hungry for a lot for not a lot, I think you’d give this place **** or maybe even *****. It is just not my cup of joe.

Really, really good.
I live near here and always thought it looked like a typical dive. Then a billboard popped up on 37 and I thought… really? They have a billboard? So I decided to check it out… except that it turns out you can’t get a table if you go after about 11:30 AM. So, fast forward to yesterday and I was FINALLY able to get a table.
The food was delicious.
I ordered the veggie skillet, light on the cheese with over easy eggs. It came out perfect (which surprised me, to be honest). The potatoes were not at all greasy and instead of butter on the toast, I think there was olive oil. Dave ordered strawberry french toast, which was also delicious. The bacon was phenomenal. I will most definitely be going back… hopefully to try lunch!
