Cozy Corner Restaurant — Restaurant in Williamstown

My wife and I ate here about a week ago and learned our lesson. When we first entered the restaurant there was one other couple sitting in the dining area. There wasn't a hostess or waitress to greet you or show you to a table. We stood there for at least 5 minutes waiting for service. I finally walked into their small bar area and asked the bartender where the waitress was. He just said that we should pick a place to sit and wait for her. Stupidly, we did.

From the time we entered the restaurant to the time a waitress showed up was about 10-15 minutes (keep in mind there was only one other couple in the dining area). from the time the waitress took our order to the time it was delivered to our table was over 30 minutes. We actually had to ask the waitress during one of her rare appearances into the dining area (from the kitchen which we could clearly see through double doors) when our meal was going to be brought out...that was 30 MINUTES after placing our order. she said it would be just a few minutes more. roughly 10 minutes after that we were served. My meal was served luke warm, almost room temperature. I took a few bites because I was hungry and left the rest on the plate. It was terrible.

No apologies were offered and no excuses were given, it was if they didn't care or had no idea what service is all about.

My wife and I were staying at the Cozy Corner Motel located a short walking distance behind the restaurant, so it was convenient for us. Not sure if these two businesses are associated with each other or not, but I can say if they are, there's a huge difference between the level of service at this restaurant versus the motel behind it.

If you're passing through town or staying at the motel behind this restaurant, AVOID it, one gets the impression that they cater to the locals and could care less...

This was our 2nd pick for dinner after the first place was a bust and a no go and we were soooo happy for it. First time at cozy corner, we ordered kids tenders & fries, the bourbon bbq burger & 10 sweet and spicy wings. The place was busy but we didn't wait long for a seat. The only downfall I would say, was there's no free refills for soda. The food however, was AMAZING. the wings weren't overly saucey and the fries were the perfect crispy yet soft. The burger, the thick and I'm assuming handmade, not a flat thin frozen patty. Perfect perfect.

We did witness a customer argue with a waitress over the cost of a side salad. And we have to appauld the waitress. She held her cool, spoke softly and polity to the elderly women. While trying to explain to her that the menu states the prices and that her calzone didn't fit the entree side salad option. When all said was done, the waitress' attitude didn't change at all when she came to our table. She was friendly and all smiles. That's hard to find in today's world, especially having just been spoken to rudely and particularly yelled at for 10 minutes.

we'll definitely...

Used to go here with some regularity back in the 90s when I lived in the area. Recently went back for the first time in 20 years. Everything was as good as I remember. The cooking is top notch, homestyle Mediterranean (Italian & Greek), pizza and seafood.

I decided to revisit a dish I've had countless times - Pat Kelley's Fish and Chips. It was flawless. The fries were typical frozen spuds of the classic variety but the fish was two hand-sized fillets wrapped in a crisp yet delicate batter. It was everything I remember. I only wish they had malt vinegar.

The servers were friendly and helpful and, while the restaurant was clean, neat and tidy, the decor seemed a bit tired - probably since nothing has changed since I began going there thirty years ago. That's my only constructive criticism. Still, don't let that stop you from visiting. This place is still as good as...
