We were shopping over at the Fairway in Pelham Manor and decided to grab some lunch in the area. We popped open Yelp and noticed Cozy Cottage. From the pics and reviews, it seemed to be a greazy hole in the wall luncheonette (which I love) so we decided to head over.
First things first, parking is murder. We had to park 3 streets away, and partially on a mini snow mountain. I assume most people are walking in because there are simply no spots to be found, at least when we were there. Something to keep in mind if you're driving.
Upon entry…complete chaos. There were 2 waitresses alternately serving, cleaning up, and helping at the grill/prep area. Nobody mentioned if we should wait to be seated or not so we just grabbed a table.
We were pretty much ignored for a good 10 to 15 minutes while we chatted and looked over the menu. No water, no offer of a hot drink, no hello. Nothing. I could not get their attention at all so I walked over to one of the waitresses and asked to order. We went with a burger and fries, mac and cheese, Western omelette, and some coffee. I also asked for ice water for everyone and a small cup of milk for my kid.
Food took about 20 minutes to get which was a bit much considering the place had 10 patrons or so. However, when we did get our food, it was good, pretty much what you'd expect in a place like this. And it was really cheap too! The entire thing came to about 14 bucks and it was a lot of food.
On the downside, the waitress never brought us water even though we asked a few times and instead of a small cup of milk for my kid we got an empty paper cup and a small glass of OJ. Oh yeah, the coffee was abominable, with the primary notes being shredded cardboard, extension cords, and stale almonds.
All in all you can surely get a decent lunch here, just be prepared for spotty service and long waits.
Cozy Cottage is a through back to the classic "Greasy spoon/truck stop" breakfast places of yesteryear. The place is small, the décor is rustic, the one waitress is over worked, classic dinner speak, large portions and amazing taste.
If you want a fancy "gourmet" meal this is not the place but if you want great comfort food and lots of it, this is your place. In the current world of cooperate chains "Denny's, IHOP, Panera, don't miss out on a true gem in the Northern Bronx/Coop City/Eastchester area.
Support small businesses that are trying to do the right thing and keep "classic food alive".
