Had to go see them before they shut down even if it was temporary! Food a good as ever and great people helping the line move. Will miss the character of this place but hope the ambiance only improves when they come back. read more

Coney Island hotdog in downtown Oklahoma City is the only place to go to get a Coney Island style hot dog. No other place compares to this location in terms of price aesthetic and character. The service is always amazing and pleasant. It's an old historic family owned restaurant and if that's up your alley, then this is the place for you. read more

Ok, how have I not reviewed this place in all the times I've been here? Oversight on my part. Anyway, I've eaten here dozens of times and it never disappoints. Lunch rush is definitely a thing here, so be sure you have time to wait if you're coming at rush time. This is the OG Coney Island and my favorite location. Just a tip, they take cash only, so swing by an ATM before you pull up. Parking can also be challenging, so be sure to plan for that. It's worth it though! My favs are the #2 dogs (chili, cheese, mustard, onions), the bowl of chili with cheese, onions, and extra onions, and I always add 2-3 jalapeno peppers on the side. They're pickled, add a good flavor, and have a little kick. They're usually not too spicy unless you have too many (just get a large drink and you'll be ok lol). They also offer individual bags of chips in various flavors, canned sodas, fountain drinks, tea, and Baklava as dessert. They have other dishes too, like chili spaghetti, but I haven't tried that one or the others, so I can't recall all the options. They charge for drink refills, but it's only like $0.50 or something like that- very minimal. Unfortunately, we now live out of state, so we can only swing by when we're in town. I am definitely looking forward to our next trip to OKC. This place is great. Yes, it's older and a bit ran down. It really shows in suite they're in, but it's definitely worth your trip. read more

A Hidden Gem in OKC! Visiting from Texas and this spot was recommended -- and wow, what a find! Coney Island Hot Wieners has been serving up classic chili cheese dogs since 1924, and it's clear they've perfected the art. The place has that old-school, no-fuss charm that you just can't fake. From the OU football schedules lacing the walls to the cozy, worn booths, it's like stepping back in time -- in the best way. The real MVP? The only person behind the counter doing it all. She's been working there over 40 years and brings serious character to the place. She's quick with the dogs and even quicker with the wit. Watching her work is half the fun! As for the food -- chef's kiss. The buns are fresh and soft. The hot dogs are loaded with meaty chili and a generous layer of shredded cheddar, served piping hot and full of flavor. Simple, classic, and absolutely delicious. Heads up: it's cash only, so come prepared. Fast service Great prices Unforgettable local experience If you're in OKC and craving comfort food with some personality, this place is a must. read more

I've been going to this place for decades. Can't believe I haven't done a review. This is iconic Oklahoma comfort food. If you like hot dogs, you're in heaven in this onion filled enclave! They use Oklahoma Schwab's wieners and chili. It is Cincinnati style and as good as it gets from a flavor standpoint. I prefer number two which is chili cheese mustard and onions. The chili spaghetti is also amazing. Everything is cheap, but you have to pay cash and the line can be long. It's charming, but not exactly fine dining. And why should it be! It's tasty, hot and served with no flair! You will leave happy! read more

That's a good hot dog! We got a chili dog and a frito pie and both were the snack we needed before getting back on the road. If we visit again we definitely want to try the spaghetti and bowl of chili. Great value for the price. Walking in feels like a different time, and looks like they are big sports fans. It's over 100 years old, and that in itself is something to appreciate. So glad we stopped in. read more

Coney Island - Front door - American Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Went around 12:30 on a Friday-only a single employee, a sweet older lady just doing her best. We asked for no onions on my dogs-even repeatedly telling her hold them as she piled them on... A few moments later she made a pair more, almost distinctly reaching for the onion spoon again, but hesitated and asked us if we wanted none. For some reason our hotdog's were just laid on paper without baskets. This made quite a mess with the chili. Overall, the place could use a good deep clean, and at least one more person during peak hours, as several tables were littered with empty baskets and cups. The food was flavorful and the bones were nice and fresh. I took my wife there because she had heard so much about it and wanted to experience it and I have to say... We did indeed experience it. read more

Popped in for a cheap $2.50 chili dog for a late lunch one day. I was served immediately, no problems. The place is so old and smells like cigarette smoke. The chili dog was perfectly fine. While I ate, I watched Judge Judy on the TV and stared at boxes of canned chili stacked against the wall which reinforced the simplicity of this operation. It's probably the cheapest food you can get in the area, but that is all you're paying for. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's always been great. My go-to has always been the chili cheese and onion dog with mustard, and a sprinkle of cayenne. Always hits the spot. Last time I went was well before 2020, but back then it was cash only. read more

This restaurant (if you can call it that) is wild. Walking in here it feels like you're in the 1970s. The wood-paneled walls are covered in OU posters and fluorescent lighting shines brightly from the low drop-tile ceiling. A small kitchen in the back is the only thing that sets this place apart from a random basement that hasn't been renovated since the Nixon era. The menu has like 5 or 6 items on it. Basically just various permutations of hot dogs, chili, and some kind of Greek spaghetti. I don't think anything cost more than $4.00. The place is supposedly run by two sisters that have owned it for decades. Nice people, and apparently very averse to change. Also, they only take cash. I ordered a plain hot dog with mustard. When asked why I didn't want the chili dog, I replied "I'm a simple man." In truth, I was hesitant to try the chili because this place didn't exactly seem up to code and I really wasn't that hungry anyway. Nonetheless, the lady behind the counter hands me a plastic spoon full of chili and asks that I try it. I politely oblige. It tastes like Wolf-brand chili. Not bad, but I still stuck with the regular dog. As far as the food goes, what can I say? It tasted like a hot dog. By the way, if you eat ten chili dogs they take your picture and put it on the wall. But the owner made it clear to me -- you still have to buy the hot dogs. I'll give it a 4/5. Taking off a star because the signage in the window implies that they sell beer, but I didn't see any beer on the menu. Maybe I'll come back one day and ask them about it. read more

Awesome It was so good and first time at this location. Still amazing! Service excellent

Coney Island is a classic spot in OKC that I've been going to for years. This is a no-nonsense place, bring cash and remember that you are here for a coney you can't get anywhere else in the city, not for stellar customer service. The service is pretty quick, know what you want when it's your turn, the lady behind the counter doesn't play. You genuinely can't beat the prices, I got lunch for two for $12.50, that's unbelievable in this year of our overlord 2024. The food is amazing, if someone tells you it isn't, they aren't into coneys. It's no NYC dog, but we take what we can get. The restaurant itself is really fun, very well loved over the years. I'm not a Sooners fan but I can get over all the memorabilia on the walls because the food is just that good. I would definitely recommend! read more

The chili here is amazing!!!! If you are a fan of good chili that doesn't have beans, this is the place to go! The hot dogs are good, but my favorite is the Greek spaghetti. This is a giant plate of noodles covered with their signature chili, cheese, and (if you want) onions! It my sound a little strange to have chili in noodles, but it is surprisingly super tasty! I ate the whole plate and a piece of baklava for dessert. They make a delicious baklava. Usually I'm not a fan because the honey is just too much. This was perfect with crispy layers! The inside is dated, but I think that's adds to the atmosphere of being an original older restaurant. There's a lot of sooner sports memorabilia on the walls. read more

I've been coming here since I was little and share it with my friends all a the time. We all love the food here

When I was a teenager (Don B.) I used to long to go in The Coney Island near either The Midwest or The State movie theater downtown. I was banned from there by my parents because beer was served. It seemed like the windows were always steamed up. Painted there was their slogan - "Buy 'em by the sack." Now several decades and many dozens of hot dogs later, I still enjoy an occasional coney or three at either location. I appreciate their use of local supplier Schwab's for brick chili and all meat wieners. It's somewhat hard to appreciate the decor, but it is tolerable. As to the food, don't expect more than what it is - a place for hot dogs, chili, frito chili pies and greek spaghetti with chili. It is brick chili, not canned, but is still most suited for coneys, not in a bowl or even over pasta. One of the managers at the Capitol Hill location can lay six or seven buns along his hand and forearm and dress the coneys as if on a production line. I can no longer eat more than 3 at a time, but recall dining with guys who would easily eat 10 or 12 on a bet! In any case, the coney dogs are exactly as such things should be eaten and are very tasty indeed. While no longer priced at $1.10, as in the betting days, they are quite reasonable at below $3. Support a piece of OKC restaurant history and "Buy 'em by the sack"! Or join in some competitive eating at the downtown location. read more

Old school place that only has a few menu items. Service is quick from the two nice women, one preps as the other handles the cash. I ordered the Greek spaghetti, which is their version of chili on pasta. Chili is good but could use more spice. Prices are great but cash only. Has OU season posters all over the walls. read more

Coney Island - Greek spaghetti - American Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This place is historic in OK, and so I'm happy I finally got to try it. They were busy during lunchtime, and they only had one staff working, so I waited about 25 minutes. I did appreciate that she washes her hand after handling the cash. The place could use some TLC, and it is not the cleanest. The tables were pretty dirty. After trying their hot dog, I don't think it was that great. I had the coney with chili and onions, and the chili itself is tasteless. It was an affordable lunch for sure, but my stomach didn't felt so good afterward. read more

M hubby loves Coneys so we decided to drop in while we are downtown. Very vintage building. The ladies working there were nice, and efficient. Service was very fast. The coneys were hot and pretty good but the weiners were a cheaper brand so not as good as some of the coneys we have had. I thought they were fine but my husband didn't care for them. The prices were good and we would go back. read more

A STAPLE in downtown OKC- Coney Island has been around since 1924 absolutely KILLING the OKC hot dog game! The #2 is my favorite- coney with mustard, chili, cheese, and onions . They also have a really good frito chili pie if you've never had it and spaghetti. If you don't know, they have always only accepted CASH so make sure you have that before walking in OR there a bank across the street with an atm. There's seats to dine inside OR you can grab to go. But I will put their coneys up to anyone in the city! The only couple reasons I'm not rating a 5 is because parking can be terrible downtown and sometimes the restaurant can have a stench I'm sure due to the age of the location. Regardless, I still drop in for a Coney whenever I'm close by read more

Went here on the Tuesday after Memorial Day, 11:15 a.m. No wait. Quick service, economical food. Frito pie = $3.50. CASH ONLY.

Great people place good service ambiance. Really. Good old fashioned. All around. Thank you can't wait to go back with family friends

First time, last time. The place hasn't been updated in about a decade. It's all OU posters. The coneys were decent, but the establishment will not be winning any awards for cleanliness, food prep, or service. The fountain machine was down due to a plumbing issue. They were selling can drinks only. The only non-carbonated drink choice is lemonade. The lady behind the counter said the owner wouldn't allow her to serve any drinks without ice. Eventually she said that she could sell it if they charged double. None of this was written anywhere! read more

Greasy spoon that has delicious, ulcer producing, yummy chili dogs. Only takes cash though. Atmosphere doesn't matter. It is clean though. read more

Amazing chili; definitely go for their Greek spaghetti! Ambiance is what you'd expect from a "hole-in the-wall". If you're into food contests, they have a chili dog record of 19 (at the moment). Would like to see them stay open a little longer (pass 6pm). Also, parking can get a little challenging and a pick up maybe preferable to dine in. read more

It's a cash only in 2024. There was only one lady working and she was handling money then going to the next customer without washing hands or using any gloves. Straight from cash to the food. That's disgusting. We were really looking forward to eating the coney's, but we left after seeing the way the food was handled. read more

You want a hotdog? Come get it here. It's as simple as that! But I can elaborate. All of the best hotdog restaurants typically stick to one thing, hot dogs. And that's exactly what does! Sure they have chili, but that's for putting onto hotdogs or noodles! And spoiler alert, their chili is damn good too! While the line could get long due to the influx of workers during lunch hour, it's still relatively quick compared to other restaurants. They always have hotdogs, chili, and noodles cooking, so there's hardly a wait. Not to mention, it's very affordable too! What else can I say? Go get yourself a hotdog and support this old local business! Don't like hotdogs? Then don't come! read more

I can not imagine waking up one day and Coney Island not being where it is, It's a historic site, the best place to go and still fell what OKC was like 50 years ago. I love everything and over all my life it's the exact same no changes ! It's a must go for anyone visiting OKC read more

They have roaches. Flat out all over the place. Went here multiple times, then came back to see them on the counter... and then saw them babies crawling on the table by the front door as we sat down. Won't be returning read more

The frito pie was delicious. I had it with both cheese and onion and don't regret my decision! However, the small bowl that was nearly $4 alone was not filling and I left hungry ); I used my cash to pay for parking out front and then planned to use my card inside. I was not aware they only took cash, but I already paid to park so I just stayed and spent the last little bit of cash I had on the tiny bowl. I probably won't return just because it's all been a hassle to park then dig out cash and having to go somewhere else to get more food with a credit card to get full. They should really get a square or credit card reader. read more

It was ok. My friend thinks it's the best in the world. I had chili Frito pie. It looks like the food is all pre made and the lady making it doesn't wear gloves or wash her hands but I mean I didn't get sick and the old paneling on the walls reminded me of visiting that one family member at Christmas in their trailer. I think I'll try the chili dog next time if I'm ever forced to go back. read more

5 generations of my family have ate here , I will defend till death . This place , taste, aura has survived , it's a tradition.

The food tastes like all of the cheapest ingredients one could buy from the expired section of Winco. Over rated on every level

Excellent coneys. Since moving here from Tulsa I have missed my Coney I-lander but this place came very close. We will definitely be back.

food was great. fantastic ambience be sure and bring cash. love all the OU memorabilia.
