“ Been a favorite of mine since I was a kid! I'm 60 lol Food? It's hot dogs lol Great folks keep it going, chilli dogs are great ”
“ Always reliable and delicious. Classic coney dogs with flavorful sauce, fast service, and a nostalgic diner vibe. A Galesburg gem that never disappoints. ”
“ "THE" place to go for hot dogs. Another gem in Galesburg, although not a hidden one. Offer a wide variety of dogs at somewhat reasonable prices, they are worth the price though so don't let that stop you. Family owned and operated so they go the extra mile. This is a MUST stop place for my family and it should be for yours as well. My wife highly recommends the Coney Slaw Dog, as do I. Although you pretty much cannot go wrong with any choice. It's a smaller location, and loaded with old time memorabilia, but just adds to the charm of this wonderful place. ”
“ One of the area’s oldest restaurants! Stopped in and tried a combo with two hotdogs - the Chicago and the chili and slaw dog. Both were phenomenal. Large selection of glass bottle pops. The atmosphere is great - lots of vintage memorabilia. Service and prices were good. Can’t wait to visit again! ”
“ Review Date: September 12th, 2016 If I had to be stranded on any island with a dog, it would be a Coney Dog. Coney dogs are something I discovered my love for since I started traveling in 2012. A nice hot dog in a bun with meat, onions and mustard. Hot dogs are like burgers and pizza. Almost endless customization. Coney Island has a menu to prove it. I ordered a Jalapeno Cheese and a BBQ dog. 2.50 a piece. Super cheap in my books! The Jalapeno Cheese was super good, but the BBQ dog was amazing! This place gets a 5/5 in my book. Some people may be put off by the...cluttered and dingy inside... but if you can look past that... you will be dreaming of a return trip just like I am. ”
“ Grew up in Galesburg and moved away almost 20 years ago. But every time I come back to town I make sure to eat here. Food and atmosphere remains just like it was when I left. A couple coneys, some kitchen cooked chips, and a green river is the ultimate lunch! ”
“ What a nostalgic place! Hadn't been here since I was a kid, so had to visit! The coney and kraut dogs were good and reasonablly priced. The people taking your order were friendly and down to earth. Enjoyed talking with them. The place is older, which gives it charm! ”
“ I've been going here for years. And when I say years, I mean over 20. Had the Chicago dog, Original Coney dog, and Mac&Cheese. You can't go wrong with any of their hot dogs. The Coney Dog has a distinct flavor, and the Coney sauce is thick. Never had one that compared. The Chicago Dog is excellent. Excellent service, nice people, even outdoor sitting. The only compliant I have is the Mac&Cheese. It was soupy. I highly recommend to the cook to add just 1 bag of shredded white cheddar to the mix. It will thicken it up and add a more cheesy flavor. Cheap fix and minimal cost to take it up a notch. It wasn't bad, but it needs thickening. And just 1 bag of 4 cheese could change the flavor and thickness. Otherwise, if you're looking for a hidden gem and crave a good hot dog, I highly recommend Coney Island if you're in Galesburg. MAKE SURE TO TRY THE CONEY DOG IF FIRST TIME CUSTOMER! Next, try the Chicago dog. I'll be back. I'll be a regular. I want to try everything they have. The next purchase is the Nacho Supreme.....Trust me, awesome dogs.....worth an hour drive to eat there....No joke.....Keep it up! YUMMY.... ”
