Went to pick up the huge lasagna for 146.00 and brought it home to cook . They have cut back on the meat sauce and cheese and they lasagne when taking it out of the pan was falling apart and u could hardly see meatsauce. I have ordered this many times and never had a complaint but this was horrible. Must be a new cook or they r just cheating out . But for 146.00 plus tip this is ridiculous. Won't be ordering agian and will be spreading the news that they have changed and r skimping on items.

This is an excellent place to eat with family and friends. It is my daughter's favourite. She even named her pet "Cosmo" because she loves this food so much. Those bread rolls - 😋 we'd come in just for those!

Stopped here for an early dinner. Got the clubhouse sandwich and my bf got the salisbury steak, my kids got the spaghetti and hamburger kids meals. Food was okay, nothing special. The bun was fresh and delicious, the sandwich was cold and hard, coleslaw was good. The steak was bland but the veggies and potatoes were good. Hamburg was dry and overcooked. This and 2 sodas cost about $60+. The restaurant was clean with lots of seating. Service was ok, bathrooms were clean but had to go down a flight of stairs and not very accessible for everyone.

I love Cosmos for so many reasons! The buns are UNREAL… honestly that’s reason enough for me to go there BUT there’s more! Their family meals are awesome huge try of pasta, family salad and 4 of their famous buns! Staff have been there for decades and are lovely! Pricing is a deal!

Cosmo’s restaurant is fantastic. We enjoyed their delicious Soup and Pizza, both of which were excellent. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is wonderful. We traveled from Toronto and had a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it.

Amazing family meal for $45 plus tax. I think it can easily feed up to 7 people. That was my first time trying it, and I really like it. Unfortunately, my lasagna was not warm enough. I was told to pick it up in 30 min, and I showed up exactly in 30 min. I think they only needed 15, and it was sitting waiting for me what makes it cold. I'll definately order again.

The best chicken Caesar I have ever had! So much meat, and I must say it was packaged very well with the meat and cheese seperated from the salad. God job!

Cosmos is always good. It seems like it has been around forever. I recall when the building or a portion of it was move to the Capel St. location in about the early 60s. The 3 Little Pigs BBQ was a short lived restaraunt on North Christina St.. It seems that nobody remembers this bbq place but me. Cosmos and Enzo was about the only place in Sarnia to get pizza for many years. Cosmos usually has a lunch special and a daily special as well as its regular offerings as well as a wine list.

Had takeout as there is not the option for dine in after 4pm. Salad was an immediate throw out...it was all wilted and sitting in a puddle of water in the container. Only the middle of the bun was edible as the outside was hard and crusty - whipped butter that came with it was all separated in the container. Pasta was ok - tasted good but was nothing I couldnt have made at home -- I remember a much different sauce on the capaletti.

December 23, 2023

In the past we have raved about Cosmos cheese cappaletti. The sauce was almost a rose and it was so cheesy. We ordered 2 large pans for a family gathering and nobody liked it. Not what it used to be. Wont be getting that again.

December 23, 2019

Food and service was just ok. Waitress stood around and talked to other employee while cook in the back frantically rang the bell in the back. I ordered the hot hamburger sandwich with fries and vegetables. The vegetables are frozen and then steamed. Ok except for the fact that they leave a large puddle of water on the plate which turns the bread into slimy mush. The sandwhich was just a previously frozen patty on two pieces of wonder bread covered in gravy. Gravy was very salty and burger was not great. Fries were very good however. Restaurant itself is nice. Gives a diner feel but the food just did not do the same. I would be willing to give it a second shot however but probably not right away. Update; Gave Cosmos Tavern another try tonight. Unfortunately it is even worse than it was last time. Service is very slow and building is dirty/deteriorating. The food now seems like the chef (I use the term chef loosely) has just given up. I ordered the veal parmesan with alfredo pasta. The veal is in fact a frozen veal cutlet with a piece of cheese melted on top. The alfredo sauce is definetly from a jar and reheated. This is my last visit to Cosmos Tavern as I will definitely not be back. You couldnt pay me to come back to this place. Gone from a 3 star to a zero star in my books, unfortunately still have to give it one. Avoid at all costs. FYI: McDonalds is not far and will definetly be a better meal.
