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

I love eating hot dogs 🌭, but I usually hold back for weight control reasons. However, coming to this iconic place, I finally gave in. The all-beef wiener was a big plus for me. It was easy to see why this establishment is so popular. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.... eating, taking pictures, and soaking in the beach breeze and sunny weather. I was also pleasantly surprised by the prices. I honestly expected them to be more expensive, and the service was definitely fast. Definitely a place that creates good memories.

Quite famous restaurant but honestly nothing special. Hot dogs were great, but I definitely ate better ones. Service was perfect, I didn’t have to wait that much and someone immediately took care of me. There’s really nice beach nearby so that’s a bonus!

My son and I went for the experience. The food was WAY overpriced rivaling ballpark prices, and there was barely any place to sit and eat. Service was helpful, but nothing special. However, it is the original Nathan's Famous. We're glad we ate there, we appreciated the experience, but it's a one and done for us.

Had to visit the original location of my favorite chilli dogs! Love those classic fries as well. Great snap to the dogs and the famous chilli recipe did not disappoint. Fries were on point as well. Very quiet because I went during the off-season, but it was a Birthday treat and did not disappoint! 😁

Enjoyed taking my son to Nathan’s. Food quality and service are top notch. They get you in and out quick. Hope this place never leaves.

The world in general is a rough place, and Brooklyn is just as rough. But it’s made all the better by the likes of Gargiulo’s. I had their Caesar salad and risotto. And to put it simply, it was all authentic in an age of authenticity. And our server was also a really cool cat. I don’t know if I’ll ever end up in Coney Island again, but if I do, I wouldn’t mind making another trip to Gargiulo’s for some authentic Italian food and friendly service.

Gargiulo’s Restaurant was a wonderful venue for a christening celebration. We had the pleasure of capturing both photography and video there, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. The staff provided great service, the food was delicious, and the space had a warm, elegant feel for a family celebration. One of our favorite details was the beautiful natural light on the dance floor, which made the moments feel even more special and photographed beautifully. A great location for anyone planning a christening, family event, or milestone celebration.

We had just arrived in town and needed a nice meal. Wow, did we hit the jackpot! Greeted at the door by the owner, atmosphere was gorgeous yet comfortable, food was amazing, Emilio, our server, was not only professional, but friendly, and made our dining experience that much more special. Very reasonably priced for this quality of food and level of service. On the way out we spoke to George, the bartender, I can’t wait to come back and try one of his espresso martinis! Thank you!

Hate being a hater. All I can say is this is the first time I’d DIDN’T finish a chicken parm (and not because it was too big or I was too full). Granted I was there for a big event and catering things is tough but wasn’t what I wanted it to be.

Woooow such an amazing experience! Stepping into this restaurant was like going back in time 60 years to a bygone era of the godfather and goodfellas. Tuxedo clad waiters and a dress code with classy 1960s era of fine dining was such a cool experience. Our waiter Jerry was soooo classy, funny, and friendly! He was able to explain everything in the menu with detail and gave us awesome recommendations. The food was spectacular 60s era Italian dining with baked clams, veal Parmesan, and an absolutely massive seafood pasta platter that they served on still in the pan. Absolutely spectacular gargiulo’s is a must visit when you come to Coney Island, grazie mille!

Really good pizza! Thin and crispy with good crust. Multiple bag of flour and mixer in sight as all doe is made fresh daily.

Totonno’s in Coney Island is a true NYC classic. The pizza is excellent — you can really taste the quality ingredients and the care that goes into making it. The staff are wonderful, straight-up authentic New Yorkers, which makes the whole experience even better. The old-school atmosphere feels like stepping back in time, and you can sense the history in every corner. This place is a real gem and such an important part of New York’s pizza story. Definitely worth the trip.
John Gonsalves - 10 months ago

Haven't been here in like 15 years and the pizza is still amazing. Currently open on weekends till 530 and takeout only so no eating inside 🙁 but 4 of us devoured a pie in like 5 minutes.
Tracy Marotta - 2 months ago

Visited Totonno’s Pizza today. Located in Coney Island, this institution is only open on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 5 PM. There is a lot to love about this pizza.   The crust was baked just right. Each bite you heard a satisfying crunch unlike other pizzas that are doughy. The end/crust was puffy and not flat. Lastly, the sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese round out your sensory overload! Coal fired pizzas take on a different flavor vs. wood and gas stoves. If you are in the area, you must try one of the few remaining coal fired pizza restaurants in New York City. Recent regulations have made it extremely costly for these restaurants to remain in business.  They only sell one size starting at $27 for a margarita. Visit them and check out Coney Island along the way.

I wanted to love this place due to its history, being on Somebody Feed Phil, and being walking distance to home. However, it’s very expensive for what it is, 2 pizzas (one white and one pepperoni with a few vegetables) was $60. They were between 12 and 14 inches. The pizza is good but not enough for the price. The owner at first can be a bit rough around the edges but I stood in there and chatted with her and the staff with everyone becoming friendly. There is no inside seating anymore, takeout only.

We visited at a pretty off-season, odd time, so it was nice and quiet. The bartender was incredibly kind and accommodating to my little one, which we really appreciated. While it’s not the most typical family lunch spot, the food totally exceeded expectations. The burger was absolutely delicious, and my son loved both the space and his grilled cheese. The place has that perfect sports bar/dive bar vibe—great if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for something casual. I only had a beer, so I can’t fully speak to the drinks, but the service was solid overall. What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food—we’d definitely come back for that alone. There are plenty of other options nearby, but the price point here is hard to beat. We spent under $40 and left completely satisfied. It was empty when we went, but honestly, more people should give this spot a try.thank you to our bartender 03.18 around 4pm we didn’t catch his name but he understands hospitality and def appreciate his service !

Had my first date here and the customer service was amazing. The burgers were delicious but what makes me and my man come back, is the mozzarella sticks. They are the best mozzarella sticks we ever had. The ambiance is chill which we love. Will be coming back soon for our anniversary ❤️

Probably come once a year here, and have been doing so for over ten years. Usually after spending the day at Coney Island, we'll go to this place to unwind. It's low-key. The food is decent. I like that it's not too crowded. Don't get much, the typical order is a beer and some snack. Think the main reason is because they have an AC.
Michele Borg - 5 months ago

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 General Manager who is working in the morning is very good and hardworking person when ever I come he treats very good with everyone! Thanks to Popeyes and the owner of this store who hires him! He is the gentle person! 👍 I will definitely come to this Popeyes daily ! This Popeyes is one of the best Popeyes in this whole area ! I love this Popeyes!
Roy Baby - a month ago

This has to be the worst Popeyes experience I have ever had. There was vomit on the seats in the restaurant, a customer was openly vaping at a booth while they waited for their food, the wait was insane and the food itself was a disaster. The red beans and rice was not fully cooked, the sauce content on the chicken was laughable and the "wings" were not even wings as there was no bone in the chicken which I asked for. Also, I am quite sure that there was only one guy working both stations (register and food). If that is the case then I don't blame him, there is only so much one guy can do. But honestly that is the manager's fault for not hiring enough staff. The overall experience was not worth the $25 that I paid for the order. I normally have a decent experience at this place so I am quite surprised that the quality has gone down so much. I hope this changes really soon. Otherwise, I am never coming back to this location.

This is my favorite IHOP in Brooklyn! I've been here multiple times but when I went for dinner a few days ago I had the most memorable experience. We got breakfast for dinner and our food came out fast and delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful, specifically Samual who was an absolute delight, he really made our night. Would definitely recommend coming here!

Good value for money, very friendly staff. Yara was really helpful and charming. A friendly diner like family restaurant. Just the meat on the big steak omelette was a bit chewy, the restrooms are not exceptionally clean, and some seats need a more professional repair.
Steven - 8 months ago

This was my best experience with IHOP so far. I always have the same few things that I've tried and love: the hot chocolate, the chocolate milkshake, and the 2x2x2 combo (2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs any style, and 2 bacon strips or sausages). We also ordered a side of fresh strawberries. Although that is not my usual experience, this time, the service was very fast (they are always nice, though! Just it usually takes some time to get a server to notice you). The bathrooms were spacious and clean. I love the food. The pictures show the 2 combos and a strawberry & banana French Toast, but the friend who ordered it wasn't too happy with it.

One of my favorite day drinking spots in Coney Island. I always end up staying longer than planned. The tiki area is chill and this year I noticed they have some flatscreens , weather is nice, and I love that they have games like Jenga and Uno while you hang out and have drinks. Margaritas are always good, the atmosphere is fun, and bartender Alexis is my favorite! I usually end up going back when she’s working because she’s always welcoming and makes the experience even better. Definitely a fun spot to hang out with friends.

Stopped by early for a couple of drinks. Plenty of seating, service was good. Walked around for a while then decided to go back for more. Small crowd had filled up most of the place and still got good service. Bartenders were busy but still made time to follow up on our drink orders to make sure she got them right. Will be back.

Been here a few times and always had a good experience. Great margaritas, friendly staff, and the bartenders are always really nice. Love that there’s indoor and outdoor seating — sitting outside on a nice day is definitely a vibe. They usually have games on the flat screens too, which is a plus if you want to grab a drink and hang out. Great spot in Coney Island.
Christian Saenz - a month ago

Overall rating: 4.5 A must visit whenever I’m in Coney Island. I’ve been here 3-4 times and it never disappoints. A tad too expensive for Coney Island but the drinks are so strong. If you’re by yourself the smaller ounce is fine but expect a small cup. If you’re with a group just go for the larger size.

Amazing pizza and service. Our whole family enjoyed the pizza here. We tried the meat lovers and the pepperoni. This is a family ran restaurant and they had a great atmosphere. There was a lot of seating for large groups and the service was very fast.

This place is perfect to go to before a cyclones game. They showed the Champions League Final on the big tv with speakers throughout the restaurant. Food was great! And so was the service. Everyone was polite and accommodating. We’ll definitely be back.

I went to Surf City Pizzeria with a couple of friends, and we had such a lovely time! It’s a cozy and pleasant spot with a really welcoming atmosphere. The place was pretty clean, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. We ordered three wraps, and they were absolutely delicious — plus the portions were huge for only $14, which is such a great deal! The pizza at the table next to us looked amazing, so I’m definitely planning to try it next time. It’s the perfect spot to visit in the summer, but honestly, it’s a great place to hang out any time of year. I’d definitely come back!

I just visited NY and one of the main things I wanted to do on my trip was to have REAL Brooklyn pizza. I had a couple of slices in Times Square and was disappointed, so I was getting worried that it wasnt gonna happen. We decided to spend the day at Coney Island and I asked several police officers where to get real pizza and they sent me to Surf City. When you enter, it is very unassuming and you can tell its a beach place.(You woukdnt expect it to have the best pizza of your life) The staff were friendly and due to them not having pepperoni, I got a slice of meat lovers with peppers and onions on it! Let me just tell you my life is forever changed by this pizza. The toppings were great, but I can in no way do justice to this crust!!!! It is such a great mixture of soft and extra crispy that it must be magic, because I've never experienced pizza crust like this!!! From the moment I took a bite, I literally did not put it down. (In fact I walked down the street eating it) I can tell you, hands down the best pizza ever! I will make a trip back just to eat this again. Please have pepperoni next time though.

I absolutely adore this place. I’ll go on record to say it’s the staple that holds Coney Island together. They have an amazing team that is always ready to accommodate you and treat you with hospitality. I have NEVER received bad service here. I’ve spent some of my BEST spring/summer nights stopping in here. What I love most about Pete’s is the ambiance. The simplicity amazes me year after year. There’s “no self-serve kiosks” or menus on a TV screen, everything is real, personable and authentic. You can come with family and friends, or you can come alone and just chat with the employees. A couple of beers, some calamari, clams, oysters, a fresh fruit punch, hot dog and cotton candy for the kids. It’s a tradition at this point! Great people, great music, great vibes. Every year I’m sad when they close for the season, and ecstatic when I see the gate reopen in the spring! Today, I was told I ordered the FIRST Brooklyn Summer Ale of the season 🥇. Come and get you one today! 😊

The service was friendly and helpful, and the food came out quickly. The clams were sooo good 🤤! Oysters, calamari were great, and the funnel cake was just ok. 🚨They will be closing for the season on 10/13 (Columbus day) and they are only opening on the weekends until there 🚨

Stopped by here after the beach with my girlfriend… perfect spot for a beer, amazingly fresh and delicious oysters, and the sausage and peppers on the toasted semolina bun was just phenomenal. Fantastic calamari as well. Great spot in Coney Island!
Jon Jones - a month ago

My friend has taken me there two times now & the freshness of the clams is great. 1 dozen for 24dls...that's not bad at all. My friend Al has been coming here for a long long time & am glad he introduced me to this place...ck out the pics and vids.

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.
