coney island

i grew up in tulsa oklahoma and attended, central high ( downtown) in the sixties. atlunchtime (30 min, gulp!) we students would race to the coney island on boston.the store windows would be fogged from the steam, during the winter and the smell of those lil dogs were heavenly! customers wld hve their trays loaded! they were only 25 cents then, and delicious! the coney buns were gently steamed warm & moist,( not soggy) onions,finely chopped, yummy chili and tasty, tender, dog! they also had slices of pie,,,,yum! downtown employees and students filled the place atlunchtime.
if i'm not mistaken, i think, ikes chili house, was on the same street? now if i cld only say the same about the coney island downtown in tulsa now??? its not the same location and its not the same food either...sorry.. the coney buns were cold ( what happened to steaming?) the chili, flavorless, onions, overwhelming.. .and i hvnt been back ( ten yrs ago) give me the good old days! :( i do not wish to offend anyone again sorry

best coneys ever. this is the one that started it all in 1926!! all the i lander restaurants are spin offs of this one. they just moved across the street to their old location. by far, these are the best coneys in tulsa. if you are going on yourlunchbreak, the line will be out the door....they're that good.

reasonable prices for the downtown area. excellent potato salad! i tried the bbqlunchsandwich & it was a generous serving though it did have a unique but pleasant taste. overall a good choice for a quick lunch.

best chili dog in town. my brother visited from michigan; had to take him by here on the tour of the local eateries. he liked it well enough to eat five of them.

the menu is simple: good chili on your choice of either a hot dog or spaghetti. the chili is also sold in a separate container for us atkins folks.

thelunchhour stays busy with a long chow line. been that way ever since i can remember, going back to when i bought my first one for 10 cents.

'nuff said.

really bad. i'm not from tulsa, so i have no fond memories of eating at this place as a child that might skew my taste buds. i'm totally independent. went tolunchwith some guys and they wanted to go here. these things are terrible. took my wife back to get her opinion, since tulsans swear by the darn things, and she is more of a hot-dog connoisseur. her opinion: these things are terrible. unless you were born and bred on these things, forget it. if you grew up eating them, you don't need my opinion.
