Coney Island Hot Dog

Exploring local restaurants while working downtown this week, I needed a quick establishment within walking distance for lunch today, and decided to give Coney Island Hot Dog a try. On entering the restaurant, I paused, unsure if I should take a seat or if I needed to order first at the counter. Looking up from her grill, the short order cook saw my confusion and told me that I could either pick a table if I wanted to eat there, or place an order at the register if I wanted it to-​go. Sitting down at a table, I had just enough time to peruse the menu before the waitress came to take my order: I selected two coney dogs with cheese, a side of coleslaw, and a Coca-​Cola. My total bill came to $ 7.90, which is a good price for lunch downtown. Décor at the restaurant is pretty utilitarian, with a television (set to the daytime soaps) and what looks like a full bar (maybe in the evenings they are a bar and grill?).
Being a straightforward order (you know, ordering hot dogs from a hot dog restaurant), my food was ready pretty quickly (I only had enough time to exchange a couple of text messages with friends arranging my Tuesday and Wednesday lunches). While the coleslaw was nothing to write home about, the coney dogs were very good. Additionally I was very happy that the waitress brought me a second soda without me having to ask.
Overall I rate the restaurant as being Very Good, and will definitely come back.

Seriously! Somebody rated this place with 1 star?!
RIDICULOUS!
5 stars!
A perfect quick lunch when you are craving chili dogs in downtown toledo.
And don’t forget the fries!
Good for breakfast too!

Coney dogs for $ 1.55?! Yes indeed. A quick, inexpensive place for lunch and a staple to Toledo’s downtown.

Great little downtown Short Order Grill. Coney Dog sauce was nothing out of the ordinary but good nonetheless., The Egg Sandwich was good, the prices great, and the staff very friendly.

They are in a great location, they just need to invest some money into updating. The building is in okay condition, but looks like it was built many decades ago. The food was only okay, I couldn’t believe they actually had gyros here.
But the waitress was really nice to us and I think that she is the only reason why I give this restaurant a star at all. They need a new menu, new equipment. The only good thing about this place was the pop and people.
