    Very nice busy restaurant. Good food but a little pricey. Would’ve give them 5 stars on service but we found they lacked in communicating with their patrons. Might want to add an additional server as the front of the house seems overwhelmed.

    Good experience, food is good and service is good. It is what you expect from a small town diner.

    This was such a lovely restaurant to stop into! Food was delicious with great portions, I love that it's a restaurant that's been around for many years, and the atmosphere was really great!! I will say, the service was a bit hit and miss, but it was incredibly busy!! If you have patience, I say go here cause it's worth every minute you have to wait for the food!

    Nestled in the heart of Haliburton, Ontario Kosy Korner Cafe has been serving hearty, home-cooked meals since 1935 — and it shows in every bite! Whether you’re here for the weekend or lucky enough to be local, Kosy Korner Café is always worth the stop. We tried - Turkey Club Sandwich - Fresh roasted turkey daily — a timeless classic done right. Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwich — a sweet & savoury twist that totally hit the spot. Sweet Tooth Combo Breakfast — French Toasr, sausage and eggs... basically happiness on a plate.

    We had a good breakfast here before we carried on for our final destination. Locations was good, just on the main heading out of town. Server was great but the place was very busy. I would recommend this place for a good meal to start your day!
