Cosy Grill - St. Catharines

I had unfounded expectations of this restaurant. I wish I could "unfounded" it. Plainly, I didn't find the dishes we ordered any good, with the exception of their honey garlic ribs. The lemon chicken was oily and I think they forgot the chicken. But, they also forgot the meats in the other dishes. And, perhaps a better quality rice would help, a lot.

The empty parking lot should have been enough warning that Cozy Grill is a place to avoid. I liked the retro feel of the place - its a step back in time - but that's where any positive feelings stop and the stomach cramps begin. The food is horrible - cold, greasy, bland. The 'experience' starts with an over salted bowl of broth with chow mein noodles floating in it and goes down from there. I had a sweet/sour pork (breaded) lunch special - which could have been mistaken for a plate of cold sick. Fried rice was cold. The lo mein was a heap of tepid grey cooked sprouts. The sweet/sour pork was ok at best. I couldn't bring myself to eating the food - left having not eaten much of any of it. Walked away paying $6.99 for nothing more than stomach cramps. One word - gross.

It's been a long time since I was there, and as I remember it was a very nice meal that I had, a combination plate so that you get the best of everything they offer, chinese style , chop sticks and all, fortune cookies and dessert, a nice dinning experience.

4.99 Lunch, beats fast food places. Food great! Six itiams on Lunch menu . most 4.99 a few 5.99 I get the #3 it is awesome!

Place hasn't changed for what seems like 20 years. Food is very average but a lunch combo with soup for $7 you can't complain.
