On our road trip to Chicago, we figured we'd stop somewhere a bit more interesting than fast food…read morefor lunch. Enter Virginia Coney Island. We walked in and were instantly transported to the past. We snagged bar seating and ordered an Original VCI Coney Island ("A gently, steamed bun with a grilled hot dog covered in VCI Coney Sauce served with mustard and minced onions"). It's a terrific dog. The chili is far from what I expected, as it's basically just cooked ground beef, but when eaten with the mustard and onions (and tasty dog), the whole thing adds up to a filling and very satisfying concoction. Our sassy server only enhanced the old-school feel. We had a great time.

When I arrived food was not ready. After the food was ready and boxed I grabbed multiple bags and headed home. Upon arriving home I received a phone call they forgot to give me buns for the hot dogs. I went back and after arriving she pointed to a rack that my buns were sitting on. There was no apology or were sorry I grabbed my buns and left and will never ever ever return! I will pass this on to the large community that I deal with on an everyday basis.

I have so many memories from being a kid, to dates with my husband and now looking forward to the first visit when back in town. We both got 2 coney dogs and root beer. I had the onion rings while the hubs had fries. One thing I love about Rudy's is they do not skimp on the coney sauce and I have no shame in saying that I could just eat it with a fork. lol Their root beer is perfectly creamy and has just the right amount of "bite". I can neither confirm nor deny that we returned later in the day to get a Boston cooler (Vernor's float) and a cream beer. If you are a local or visiting the area, you must check them out. They only accept cash but have an ATM on site. Service is by car hop and they have picnic tables that you can dine at if you don't want to eat in your car. I see another trip in the future before we leave even if it's just for a brown cow or another Boston cooler. lol

Went tonight's I had 3 Coney Dogs just Chili and my kid has two with everything. As usual they tasted great! On top of that, even though closing wasn't far off, our server was extremely polite and kind, as were the rest of the staff! Wasn't very busy and they had doing some prep cleaning but were very welcoming. It was quiet but friendly and we enjoyed the quick meal we had. The owner even came by and asked how things were and offered us some. Christmas cookies. I hope this Jackson staple is around after I am gone for future generations.

I ran into Slapping Foods outside Amanatis yesterday. Their tacos caught my eye, after talking with…read morethe guys, and realizing they KNOW the difference between a chili dog and a REAL Coney dog, I HAD to get some Coneys with cheese. They were a 4/5. Here's why: *The bun needs to be steamed, or at least warned. *The beef heart had gotten dry. (This a BIG ONE. Can't let the star get shabby.) I realize that may or may not be within the guys' control. *I believe they should offer both shredded and cheese sauce, but that's just my fat ass. *I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that they are EDUCATED (beyond Google) about the cuisines they are selling. *These young men presented themselves like 5 restaurant owners in humid, muggy, blazing hot 90°+ day in a PARKING LOT!! Someone give them a business loan. *They WAITED on me, even though I didn't expect them to. Talk about going above and beyond! Overall: Support this local small business. They are going to go far!

Small spot. Thankfully we had part of our party there with a table…read more We ordered a Coney Island hotdog, NY hotdog, eggs and hash brown and toast, rooster omelet, turkey Rueben and small baby Greek salad and some coffees. The NY dog tasted better than the Coney dog. The coney didn't taste the way it was expected, but it had a lot of ground meat on it. The egg, hash brown and toast was as expected. The rooster omelet wasn't too bad. The turkey Rueben was okay, would have been better with kraut instead of creamy slaw. The Greek salad was so-so, nothing so special about it. The onion rings were good at least. The woman at the checkout gave me such a hard time for asking for a copy of the credit card receipt, she asked why the itemized isn't good enough. She told me if I want the credit card receipt, she's taking the itemized bill. I said I would still like a copy of both the itemized as well as the credit card receipt. She placed both back on the counter top with a bit too much drama. How lazy, rude, totally unprofessional and unpleasant was the checkout staff member. The table service and food was a 3. The checkout service was a big fat zero! The experience was ruined by one person here.

Spinach dip was creamy, and had a nice surprise of chopped red pepper I wasn't expecting. Bean burrito was ok. Could have had more sauce and cheese. It was a bit dry.

Still felt comfortable being there with our 3 year old though.

The lines are slower because the amount of people who come and order.

The people in front of you get served because they got in line before 8; It is frankly common sense. Crazy to see so much hate for a small business ran by teens trying to make some money!
