Our Guestbook
“ This was our first time here. The food was delicious. Our server's name was Jodi. She is amazing. Very nice atmosphere, very clean and employees are very friendly. We will definitely be going back. I'm anxious to try some of their other foods. ”
“ Cosmos is a great local family restaurant. They don't get flustered when you bring in a large group. The wait staff have experience to handle kids and your coffee cup never gets past half empty. Portions are generous and you will not leave hungry. Our family eats at Cosmo's a handful of times a year and never a bad meal. I recommend the Hobo Skillet. ”
“ Just what you would expect from a classic diner type restaurant. I got the hot beef (they call it Manhattan) it was overly salty gravy, tender beef, mashed potatoes and basic white bread. Total comfort food! The side salad was crisp and fresh. We also got the tres leche cake (3 milk) and it was melt in your mouth delscious. ”
“ The food here is pretty solid, we have gone 3-4 times and everything has come out wonderful. The interior is dated, most of the tables have shims for stability, but it adds to the quircky charm of the place. ”
“ Great restaurant with delicious food! It took a while to get our food, but they were pretty busy. They did great with drink refills. ”
“ Amazing food and good service, but the food was a little slow in coming ”
“ All their food is absolutely great. Their pancakes are absolutely the best and they're huge, super fluffy and overall taste great. They're a good option for Lunch, Breakfast or in between, they usually have little to no wait time and offer booths and tables. You're usually allowed to seat yourself and the waitresses are always kind. You never feel pressured to leave too soon and there aren't usually many children or babies there. The restaurant is cozy but no cramped and the interior is very clean overall, making for a nice experience. It's best enjoyed with a friend or a group of people in my experience. ”
“ Come here quite often with my family when they are in town to visit. Always great service and great food. I highly recommend the Gyro, Double Cheese Burger, and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. If you are like me and want to experience a meal how it was before life got too complicated, this is the place for you!! ”
