Best NYC restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

A classic "Must visit" if you're going to Coney Island. My last trip here I got a chili cheese dog and some corn dog bites. The chili cheese dog was pretty good, but I love the corn dog bites. They're literally the wonderful flavor of a corndog without the stick. I will add that the menu is extensive now and has a ton of other items besides hot dogs. Lots of sea food now, which is nice.

The word FAMOUS in there title lives up to the name. My cheese fries was so cheesy they will always be on my list with I go to Coney Island. And I only went for Nathan's Famous Hotdogs for the win 🏆 because

Sad, very sad..... having grown up in Brooklyn and visiting Nathan's since the 70's - it is a mere shell of its former self. Three hot dogs, two small fries and a lemonade - $34. Not at all worth it. The onions were bland, hot dog smaller and the overall experience was less than stellar. The staff acted as if they could care less about service, he place could use a cleaning and it seemed mildly disorganized. It pains me to.leave this review, but I will not likely go back - the bang for the buck is gone. As it is said in a Pink Floyd song, " the child has grown and the dream is gone ".

What more can you ask for. A New york now even world national place. I live now in Chicago but when i am in town. Nothing like the original Nathans hot dog. We also had the French Fries. God it was so great. Wait staff was great, happy and friendly.

The original Coney Island hotdog is good. It tastes like you would expect, but not over the top special. What was blow you away special were the fries! Holy cow, were they good. Do not miss out on these guys! We got the plain, but they have several types of smothered as well.

The food here is absolutely divine, and the atmosphere is simply electrifying! The live music adds a whole new level of excitement. It's impossible to resist the urge to jump up and dance! We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day here, and let me tell you, it was an exceptional experience. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Casually walking by, stopped in for a quick dinner was given the VIP treatment! Great food and hospitality, with that old school family owned and operated history/charm as soon as you arrive. Thank You Jerry, for both the service and conversation.

A really special experience. Gorgeous, classy atmosphere with great soft music and good quality food. Fresh Italian bread. Staff was friendly and attentive, and knowledgeable about the history of the area. My mom came here decades ago and was overjoyed to return again. One of my best experiences in NYC. Thank you!

Classic Italian Restaurant in the heart of Coney Island. We went as a large group and quickly found out they are very strict with dress code and who can come in. Several members of our group were not allowed in, which made for some tension at our table. Those who did get in were taken care of with a good meal and service. We started with some fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. To me, it was bland and the cheese rubbery with unripe tastless tomatoes. It needed oil and balsamic vinegar to wake it up. We then had their excellent zucchini fries that were light and sweet and one of the best I have had. Our pasta dish was penne with tomatoe sauce. The penne was cooked perfectly aldante, but I felt the sauce was a bit too sharp. It needed plenty of sprinkled parmasian to smooth it out. I tried the broiled salmon, which was slightly overcooked but good. I thought the egg plant parm I tasted was much better, tender, and very flavourful. The sauce on the parm to me was better than on the pasta dish. We ended with a delicious slice of their cannoli cake. It was light with the perfect balance of cream and mini chocolate chips between the layers. The regular coffee served was strong and a smooth roast but unfortunately served lukewarm. Overall, the food is very good if you choose wisely. But be prepared in this modern day to dress and look, in their acceptable way, or you might not get in.

I have so many fond memories of this restaurant growing up in Brooklyn. It was a place where we had many celebrations. The food is freshly made & traditional Italian. Highly recommend for a family event.

Amazing. Food grew up going to this place has the best pizza ever had in my life as my grandfather brought me. People can say whatever they want about the service saying it’s hit or miss. Do you know what this place has been standing on hard-working wooden legs compared to artificial brand new legs of a dinner table and you know what I wanna pass the good word and recommendation because this place is worth the it and it’s quality and I’ve seen changes positive compassionate changes in ownerships behavior for the better with my own two eyes so I am pleased to say that to Totonnos is a great an excellent pizza Rea

We used to eat at the 2nd Avenue location back in the day, this was our first visit to the Coney Island location. I’ll put this pizza up against the best, I could drink the pizza sauce by the gallon it’s that delicious. We have our go to spot back for Pizza again.

Death, Taxes and Totonno’s is the best pizza in NYC. These are three self evident truths I know are indisputable and irrefutable. I do not say this in a vacuum, this is not some cheap hyperbole. I’ve eaten at the great pizza shops in the NYC area, I’ve been where you’ve been! This place is truly number 1 and worth the visit. The sweet Nonna who’s taken care of so many patrons is at the helm of this establishment. She will take your order, she will ask you if you need plates and napkins, she will double check if you need more and give you more just because she knows you’ll probably need more. That’s what a Nonna does! Let’s talk about the pizza, all I have to say is GARLIC. It’s the GARLIC, they microplane that stuff into the sauce. It’s practically floating on top. The lip of the crust is being kissed ever so gently by that sauce with the consent of that garlic and sprinkling of Pecorino Romano cheese. It’s the perfect bite. This pizza is what you need and you didn’t know it. It’s weep worthy. In conclusion, it’s a 10 outta 10, 5 stars, an A+, with a 4.0GPA, it’s the valedictorian, the Rhodes Scholar, it earns the U.S. Medal of Honor for its service, it’s the Commander in Chief of all pizza forces.

Very good! Not the best pizza in American though; yall are buggin. The old lady was rude and not in a charming nyc way. Prices are WILD @ $30 for a small pie. Worth a try once so you can say you had it, but not worth a return visit when Lucia ave x, L&b spumoni, and di fara are so close and are frankly much much much better.

Went there for late lunch with family after hanging out at the beach. Got inside right away because it was not that busy. Food was great, staff were attentive and friendly. Drinks were good. Very satisfied with everything except one small thing, they need to turn on the AC a bit cooler during the hot days 🤣.

The food was was delicious and flavorful. I had a spicy burger with sweet potato fries dipped in 🍯 honey, big onion rings that were so tasty 😋. The portions were to much to eat that I had to bring the rest home... Hope to go back when the day is not so crazy, our waiter was all over the place, but he kept apologizing for the long wait on food... the wait was worth it!
Liz Centeno - 10 months ago

After a long beach day, I wanted to eat and relax. I'm glad I chose this restaurant. The staff is pleasant and courteous. I had the grilled salmon with grilled vegetables. It was so delicious! I will definitely go back to The Red Doors when I next visit Coney Island. Also It is conveniently located close to the train station.
Dania Reyes - 8 months ago

Good vibes from the live dj in here on my first visit. Ordered drinks, sat at the bar. The two drinks and the tab came together. My expression caused the server to apologize. Didn't appreciate that, it felt a bit profiling, as I observed others at the bar treated differently. Had the one drink and went somewhere else. Won't return but it was ok outside of that. Clean restroom, lively ambience, tastefully decorated.
Lexa - 3 months ago

Highly enjoyed the vibe of The Red Doors. Why buy a generic burger when you can dig into the restaurant's signature recipe? Loved their spicy blend beef and the fact I didn't need sauce to elevate the burger. Overall, a great place for a meal with friends. Oh and don't forget the drinks. I personally had the Moscow mule and it went well with the Red Doors Burger.

Last Saturday I went to have breakfast with my daughter, the food was delicious but I must say that the place was so dirty. When I go out I like to observe how clean is the place but once again I was very disappointed. Tables , booths and floors were so unclean, that I wanted to leave immediately, but my daughter didn’t want to go so I decided to stay. Place needs to be clean more often!
Claudia Morales - 2 months ago

Arrived there at 10:30 am and it was already full. We waited 10 minutes for the table. Luckily got the booth. Spinach and tomato omelette was delicious. Pancakes were ok but French toast was YUMMY! They have 4 different types of syrup for the pancakes. Staff is extremely helpful and very friendly.
Faryal Chaudhry - 8 months ago

I decided to take my brothers randomly & was pleasantly surprised once I saw that they were offering new French toast. IHOP’s French toast was my go to whenever I went there but it was always a hit or miss so I was definitely excited to try the new recipe. Now that I’ve tried it I can safely say that you HAVE to try it. The new French toast is 1000 times better than the old one. I recommend you get it with whipped cream instead of butter but that’s just my preference. The slices are big & fluffy & filled me up pretty quickly. The mozzarella sticks are good too & so is the crispy breakfast potatoes. I will say it might take a few extra minutes to get your order but that’s only because there’s only one person working the tables so pls remember to tip generously. Edit: went back & the crepes are amazing

Great Pizzeria located in the picturesque Coney Island area right across the street from the infamous Cyclone. It offers a vast selection of all kinds of very appetizing looking pizzas, calzones, Strombolis, rolls plus many traditional Italian dishes. Interesting ambiance, very courteous and friendly staff, young bartender was kind enough to show me all sorts of exotic beers and spirits they have in stock and advised a great one-"Fat Tire" which I never had before but enjoyed tremendously and it was a perfect compliment to the slice of the magnificent Margherita pizza I picked also following an advice of a very pleasant pizza maker plus traditional Italian chicken & cheese roll which was huge and was served with a side dish of the delectable house made marinara sauce. Pizza was delicious-flavorful, scrumptious with an amazing crunchy but soft crust and lots of yummy cheese, so was the chicken roll which was so enormous, I wasn't able to eat it all and took the 2nd half home. All in all-great dining experience, definitely recommend to everyone visiting Luna Park and Coney Island beach to drop by for a refreshing drink and a hearty meal. P. S. They have this intriguingly looking machine with an ancient fortune teller-Zaltar that reminded me of an old movie with Tom Hanks "Big" where similar machine changed young boy's life forever so I couldn't resist and paid Zaltar for the reading, hoping it will change my life too.

Two employees at the counter eagerly took our orders and proceeded to prepare our food. One dozen chilled oysters, a loaded hot dog and drinks. Everything was fabulous and at a great price.
Andrew Minster - 10 months ago

Delicious food and fast friendly service at the this authentic Coney Island spot! The clams, oysters, calamari and Italian sausage were all top notch. (Everything we ordered!) Will definitely be making a regular pitstop here whenever we visit Coney Island, to try the rest of their menu! PS: Pop in next door to their sister store Williams candy for pistachio soft serve ice cream afterwards.

Came here just to get the funnel cakes. Been ages since the last time I had the funnel cake, brought back some memories. Service was good coz we were the only customers at the time then more people came after we got our orders and started eating. The place has seating areas inside and outside. Better stay outdoor seatings if you don't want to get the smoke smell all over your clothes/body.

Wish I came here before Nathan's! All the food is way better here than any spot so far. Shaded seating available and friendly staff.

Nice small eatery near Nathan's Famous on Surf Ave in Coney Island. Staff is friendly, food is hot and at times freshly made, and the drinks are always cold. My go to's are the corn on the cob (with butter), potato kanish, shish kabobs, and chicken tenders with French fries (and tarter sauce on the side. Ask for whatever condiments you like). Give them a try!
