    Burger, fries and a Detroit style coney.
    John M.

    Whenever I come home to Michigan, nothing makes the trip complete like hitting a coney restaurant. This was my first visit to National and it did not disappoint. This is comfort food, a classic America diner. Don't drop in looking for a world class high end dining experience ... ain't the place for that. But if you're down for a burger, a dog and some fries, this is the joint. My Detroit style coney was spot on, and that dog casing "snap" is something only Michiganders can truly appreciate. Our server was attentive (actually had several people check on us during our meal), and very nice. Just a good dining experience all around. Thanks, National!!!

    Fancy like is going to be at the national Coney Island. We could eat here 5 times over in the time it would hair down the street. A Large Greek salad sounds good, ordered a large and a baby , 2 southwest Hanis. Greek salads were out within minutes of ordering. Food was quick and always tastes the same too. The Greek salad was okay, had a lettuce bits of that were rotten here and there. The southwest hani tasted just like the regular hani, it had a slight hint of chipotle Mayo, but definitely not enough to be notable. Service was good and quick too.

    During our trip to Detroit we decided we wanted to try a Michigan style chili dog. We did a little research and we definitely weren't disappointed. The environment was really nice, the folks were nice, and the food as you'll see was delicious. Let's get to it.. 2 Coneys Cheesy Waffle Fries What Is It: These coneys are done up Michigan style with house made chili, mustard, and diced onions the latter of which I had left off. The waffle fries come with a cheese sauce that tasted like cheddar to me. Presentation: It looks as good as coney's and fries are gonna look. It looks like the picture which is all I can ask for. 7 out of 10 Taste/Final Analysis: The chili dog was every bit as delicious as I'd hoped. The chili and mustard were fine but the actual hot dog itself is where this shined. The dog actually had a snap to it which only the finest wieners have. I'm not sure if it's locally sourced meat but it was phenomenal. The cheese fries were nothing to sneeze at either ad the fries were nice and crispy and the cheese sauce was delicious and plentiful. All in all I'm definitely glad we stopped by here and would be a regular stop for me if I lived close to here. Thumbs way up. 10 out of 10

    Fountain Vernors I'm in heaven.

    I LOVE CONEY DOGS! Coneys are one of the first things I eat when I travel back home. You just cannot get the coney chili outside of the tri-state area. The steamed bun, snap dog, chili is bathe in, mustard, and some onions is just the best thing ever. Gotta finish it with fountain Vernors or a Vernors float. National was slammed with the Sunday lunch rush but I was greeted immediately and seated within a couple minutes. By myself and I was able to be seated somewhere a bit quieter. My server was a funny, sweet lady who was the best mix of efficient and personable. The first fountain Vernors was a blur, a euphoric blur. The bite into the first coney with the snap of the dog followed by the mess of coney sauce and I was done. Stick a fork in me. I took my time making sure I didn't miss a single speck of my coneys. Finger licking ensued and I gave no Fs. Greek salad to go because the home foodie in me is also missing Detroit Greek dressing. Tinged pink dressing served with homemade pita. Seriously

    This is a typical National Coney Island and the breakfast selections we got were pretty much what we expected. I got a vegetable egg white omelette with the hash browns and rye toast. My friend got 2 eggs, hash browns and rye toast. When he opened the apple jelly it literally dripped onto his seat - just missed his lap!! So he skipped the jelly and asked for extra butter. The waitress forgot the butter until he was done with his toast. Then she brought it!! Not sure what she expected him to put it on but whatever!!!! The food wasn't greasy which is a good thing. The waitress was pleasant and asked for some sort of donation for a local charity. If you donate you get a $5 off coupon at their restaurant.

Being that it was snowing, I was tired and had a million other things to do, I decided to stop in and have breakfast here on the fly. Walking in, the place is large, but the tables and chairs are sparse. Not much to see here, but they seem to be holding it together. I was seated immediately and my server was attentive and nice. She snagged me a menu and they have a good selection of food to choose from. I ventured off from my usual eggs and hash browns for once and tried their breakfast sandwich. From experience, not all breakfast sandwiches are created equal! I was skeptical from being disappointed in the past. I also ordered a side of hash browns because I wanted to see what they were like. I got the sandwich on Texas toast and let me tell you, it was fabulous! It was egg and cheese only and so good. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the hash browns were as well. They were cubed style, with some onions and spice to it. I topped it off with a dash of hot sauce and boom, there ya go folks, good stuff it is! My bill was about $8 give or take, I can't remember the exact amount. Overall, a good meal for a decent price. While the place isn't super fancy on the inside, it really made a good impression on me!

Reviewing the menu, they have a great selection of breakfast and brunch items to choose from. I read online that they have chicken and waffles, but when I asked the waitress where it was at on the menu, she said it's not listed there and is an "off menu" item that could be prepared for me.

I used to live nearby about 25 years ago and remember coming to a diner in this area for breakfast back then. Fast forward to today--this isn't the same place, but wow, it's absolutely amazing. Right away I loved the vibe. The chalkboards with handwritten menu items and daily specials on the walls give the place so much character and charm. It feels welcoming, classic, and cool all at the same time. The customer service was excellent from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I ordered the country breakfast, which came with biscuits and gravy, eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage--everything was spot on. I'm usually not a big hash browns person, so I really appreciated that they offer an alternative to the shredded style. I went with the cubed breakfast potatoes (not sure what they officially call them), and they were so much better--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Between the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere, this place completely won me over. I already know I'll be back next weekend. Oak Diner has a really, really good vibe, and I'm glad I rediscovered breakfast here. Highly recommend.
