Coney I-Lander

We went to Coney Islander with high expectations from past memories. It had been several years since we had been, and I was looking forward to chili cheese coneys like I remembered from back before I retired. Unfortunately, they didn’t measure up to my expectations. Perhaps I expected more than I should have, but the taste was simply not what I remembered. The service was. Good, but, it was a Saturday afternoon and we were one of three tables of customers there. The restaurant was clean, considering the age of the building. Everything else was fine, except for the taste, and that was a letdown.

I have about had it with this location. I have been going to this location at least 2 times per month for the last 2-3 years and each time I order the $35 (12 Coney family meal). The last 4 times I have been there they seem put out with the order by either rolling their eyes and or a deep sigh and have gone on to ultimately mess up the order. I typically use the drive through but this last time I decided to go inside so I could watch them make the order. Once again, when I made the order the lady rolled her eyes. I asked for the manager and explained the situation while the lady that took my orders was still making my Coney's. I also noticed that the same lady that took and was making my order was apologizing over and over to those behind me for the wait. It was without question a passive aggressive comment also meant for my ears. So not only was she put out by having to make 12 Coneys all at once, she couldn't apologize enough to the people that had to wait in line just like I did. Not sure I want to spend over $1,000/yr at a place that doesn't appreciate my business.

This place was definitely a favorite of mine. I'm from Louisiana and never had anything quite like this. The chili was unique and very delicious. The hotdogs and buns were exactly what I wanted. My son got the tamales and they were good too. Not a traditional tamale, it was over-steamed and topped with their signature chili. It was its own dish. My wife got the chili 3 ways, which was served over what looked like long macaroni noodles. All unique and delicious. Great spot to grab a meal that will stick to you. Seems like great food after a long night out. Employees were nice and helpful!
