Coney Island Cafe

Great place. Awesome food

Excellent breakfast at an affordable price.
Good service too

Great hamburger and hand cut curly fries.

Ive spent enough time in Michigan to equate the term "coney" with what the rest of the country would call a chili dog. I went in hoping for something tubular covered in chili and if I was lucky some cheese as well. Well, Coney Island Cafe did not have chili dogs.

What I was greeted with when entering was a real honest to goodness greasy spoon. The type my grandfather would take me to for lunch when I was a child 40+ years ago. Of course I sat at the counter. As I stated above, no chili dogs were to be had but they did have hot dogs, burgers, bbq sandwiches, and fried chicken. The prices were great. I got a cheeseburger that was plenty fine. It rivaled what you could make at home. I noticed plate after plate of fried chicken kept coming by so I'm guessing their fried chicken is the thing to get.

I'll be back to try the fried chicken because this place ticks all the right buttons. Good food, good prices, and though it isn't exactly like the burger joint my grandpa would take me to, it's close enough to it in spirit that it ticks the nostalgia button as well just get there for lunch because they close at 2 in the afternoon.

Super sweet people and absolutely incredible food with a very comfortable environment. As my dad puts it, breakfast and a show. Loved the BLT.
