Feb 12, 2026"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."

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"

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."
