Great location for visiting a show at the PAC. Food was tasty. Gumbo and pecan waffle were my favorites. The restaurant was clean and the service was prompt and courteous. Loved the decor painting inside.

The food here is absolutely amazing, it's like a warm hug for your soul. The service is top-notch, and the food is just delicious. We usually visit on the weekends, and it's quite busy, especially when we come for dinner. Finding parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's street parking only. Last time, we had to park a few blocks away and take a walk to get to the restaurant.

What I really appreciate is the restaurant's vibrant paint job and the lively colors inside. It adds a fantastic atmosphere to the dining experience. I can't resist coming back here every time I'm in Appleton; it's just that good.

The reviews appeared spotty but I said let me give them a try. When I arrived, I discovered what appeared to be a restaurant straight out of the 50s or 60s that probably hadn’t been updated Since They were short staffed, and I had to seat myself. I wasn’t sure if I should stay, but I looked around and saw a mixed and diverse crowd. I was In town for work it was my last night with nothing to do for the evening I got comfortable in one of the booths and listened to the blues playing in the background. I didn’t see a server for several minutes and I waited for what I assumed would frustrated employee to come take my order. To my surprise, a very nice gentleman came by explained they were short staff, but assured me he sure he would take care of me. And that he did. I took his recommendations and the food was fabulous. I had the cornbread waffle as an appetizer. Never heard of a cornbread waffle, but on the first by I knew I picked the right spot. For my meal I had the fried chicken, collard greens, mac & cheese, and yams. It’s a rarity for me to have soul food better than my grandma from the south. My entire meal was on point just as the service was. I couldn’t believe it when I got my bill. The cost was also out of the 60s lol.
Next time I have to go to Appleton I will be visiting the Cozzy Corner.

The food was good- not great.
Chicken and butter pecan waffle- the waffle was very good, chicken was moist but not much meat on the bones.
Ribs were fine, hush puppies were fried perfectly but had little flavor, did like the okra.
Service was okay until a woman came in who works there and was very loudly complaining about someone she clearly doesn’t like. She went on and on and on…not appropriate for an establishment setting.
I wanted to love this place but didn’t. I did like it but don’t know that I need to eat there again.

The walls are decorated with beautiful artwork, and the music creates a great atmosphere. The fish and lemon pepper fries were cooked perfectly. They serve delicious, soulful food here. I highly recommend this place for a casual dining experience.

Top notch soul food in a cool atmosphere. I had the Big Azz Gumbo with smoked pulled pork, corn bread and Hush Puppies. Loved it all.

I really enjoyed my first visit. The inside is comfortable and fun. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the two meat plate which comes with corn bread and 2 sides. I ordered the fried spicy BBQ chicken and Cajun catfish. My sides were collard greens, Cajun fries and a bowl of gumbo. Everything was delicious and the items that were supposed to have a kick delivered some good heat. I will go back and recommend anyone who has a craving for some great soul food to give this place a try.
