couzin's cafe

quiet, comfy with good home cooked meals.  ate there first time on a thursday afternoon.  ordered chickenfriedsteak, eggs, hash browns, thick wheat toast, gravy.  $20 with endless coffee refills, and i mean _good_ coffee.  my partner agreed; best tasting breakfast we've enjoyed in years.  waitress attentive and polite.

not so sure why everyone raves about this place like i'm honestly confused why people say the food is good! my english muffin was stale and hard as a rock. confused as to why reviews mention good countryfriedsteak. i waited 30 minutes for something that was undercooked inside and burnt on the outside... it was also just very unappetizing. brown bag had the best countryfriedsteak until they changed their recipe and for less than this place! $15 for something chewy and rubbery? i won't be going back. the eggs were okay but definitely not over medium which is what i asked for. the gravy was watery. the hash browns were mushy/undercooked on the inside and unseasoned. if i wanted to have the most plain plate of hash browns i would have just gone to safeway and bought myself some to cook at home. it would have matched the level of service i received at couzins cafe! the cinnamon roll my boyfriend ordered clearly came from a package cause it was chalky and i saw a seam from packaging. it also was bland except for the cream cheese icing which was sort of an odd flavor. the bright side of that is we only wasted $4 on that. overall a very bad experience with the food, atmosphere and service. we got the nice "repaired" booth seat in the back too so yeah i for sure think that the food is way overpriced for the restaurant it's in. if your friends recommend this place to you they are absolutely crazy. don't try it!!

we went on a sunday and there was definitely a line out the door to this tiny spot. we were lucky that space opened up for us in about half and hour and service was pretty quick! i rarely had american full breakfast and decided to go all out with countryfriedsteak. crisp english muffin (with loads of butter), crisp hash brown and runny sunny side up — checked. not wow but tasty. the beef was thin, tender and crisp, with great flavors in the breading. i only wish the gravy was not as starchy; it was a little sticky to the teeth and palate. flavor of the gravy was good – nice peppery chicken flavor, what i would expect in a good diner.

awesome. get the countryfriedsteak its amazing.

best chickenfriedsteak i've ever had. too bad i'll never go back. wife had the club sandwich and the tomato was rancid. after a couple bites she realized something was wrong and completely lost her appetite. owner refused to take the rancid, unedible meal off the bill. this is not how you should run a restaurant. if you serve something so bad that it makes someone nauseous, you don't force them to pay for it. that is unacceptable.
