What randevp doesn't like about Cosy Snack Bar:
Mediocre breakfast. Has all the signs of a greasy spoon, but maybe a little too much grease. Processed cheese on the grilled cheese. Over cooked eggs. Looks like a local favourite based on the consistent customers. But the food quality didn't match the hype. View all feedback. What Bob Kato likes about Cosy Snack Bar:
Love the Cozy. Great food at fair prices. Tax included is a nice touch. The owners are so friendly and know most of their customers. Their clubhouse sandwich is hands down the best in HRM. Is it gourmet food? Not even close. Is it home style cooking? Totally. Its a small hole In the wall diner. It won't change your life but it will make you feel happy and cozy. Love this place.

Located on Liverpool Street, this family-style restaurant has been a local favorite for almost 30 years. Despite the consistent customers, the breakfast options have been described as mediocre with overcooked eggs and processed cheese. Some guests have complained about the overcooked food and unappetizing hollandaise sauce. On the other hand, positive reviews highlight the delicious and affordable grilled haddock, fish and chips, and friendly service. While some patrons have expressed disappointment with the decline in service quality and lackluster flavors, others have praised the welcoming atmosphere and generous portions. Overall, this Ma & Pa operation is a place where you can enjoy a meal, engage in friendly conversations, and experience a bit of nostalgia reminiscent of the TV show "Cheers".
