"This place is not inviting once you get inside. Outside is very colorful, dark green with yellow & red accents, lots of flags on the roof. Inside it's all prison cafeteria. Bulletproof "glass", a slide you put your money through like you're at a bank, a turntable your food comes out on (also bulletproof). Even though I was the only one there - at just past noon - I wasn't eating in. Getting my two coneys to go (it didn't actually matter, it turns out) I was happy to eat in the car, something I rarely even consider. The menu is very expansive, pitas, breakfast, etc., on offer. And they have a drive thru. Per the sign, they are open 24 hrs. The dogs were fine, the buns seemed a bit old & were a little dry and flavorless. Can't envision returning here."

"Standard Coney Island decently cup how to sign up the front window being broken into their service is very nice and your order comes out pretty quick to completion Can I have the grilled chicken salad and white coconut cake just because I wanted it and it looked so good"

"The cashier is super friendly and accurate. Made sure my order was prepared right. Great Customer service. The pita sandwich ordered was EVERYTHING. They have great options to add on. A little more expensive then expected but worth it. Will be coming back to try different options. Very generous portions so the price was undoubtedly worth it. Would suggest adding a menu online would have liked to make a selection before coming in or a call in. Nonetheless excellent place to try if your looking for the Detroit Specialty Coney island"

"They are usually very polite when I go. The food is still hot by the time I get home. The selection is good. It is a little pricy for a Coney Island so if you're on a budget, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. To me , I'd rather pay a little more knowing my food is going to be cooked correctly. Also, I damaged my car on the pole they have (totally my fault) but I wish it wasn't there to begin with. I also wish they had a better and more clear menu online rather than user uploaded photos. Other than that, I have no complaints."
