I couldn't resist stopping by the iconic Nathan's Famous. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere had a cool, nostalgic vibe. The hot dogs were spot-on, with a satisfying bite and a crisp finish from the casing. The onion rings were fresh, perfectly golden, and light. I'm not usually big on milkshakes, but when I indulge, theirs is a must—sweet, thick, and absolutely delicious (no pun intended—thanks, Kelis!). The corn dogs and buffalo fries were also fantastic.

I had a fantastic experience at this fast food café. Despite being around for many years, the interior is impressively modern. The food is delicious, and I treated myself to some clams this time—they were outstanding. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food in a contemporary setting.

I don’t care what negative things people have to say this place is an institution. It’s perfect because it’s Nathan’s. You can have a bad experience here, it’s still 5 stars. You think it’s overrated? It’s still 5 stars. You don’t like hot dogs? You got overcharged? You hate fun? Still 5 stars. Chili cheese dog once a year is what the doctor actually ordered. Orangeade is also a move. Good washrooms too. This place is like everything your inner child could dream of. Oh you want liquid cheese and bacon?? The answer is yes. 5 stars.

Hot dogs are good as always but I think the price is a bit high. Coming to Nathan’s for many years. It draws a big crowd during the summers. I try to make it annual pilgrimage on my bicycle from Long Island. I come more for the vibes than the food. If you haven’t been, then I do recommend it. 👍

Nathan's Famous on Coney Island is an iconic institution that truly lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of energy, reflecting the rich history and tradition of this legendary hot dog stand. The hot dogs are simply unbeatable - juicy, flavorful, and topped with all the classic fixings that make for a wonderful dining experience. They also offer a variety of sides and sandwiches. Definitely a legendary destination all foodies should visit.

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.

Always a pleasure eating here. Food is good, service is great, and the atmosphere is like a small family restaurant. I've been here seven times and it is my go to place for a good meal at a reasonable price.

Can not say enough great things about this fantastic place. Food was amazing, servers were attentive. Everything about it was amazing. The food was by far the best Italian food I've ever tasted.

The staff and atmosphere were great. Food could have been better. Sausage was undercooked and the pasta was not hot enough. Salmon and meatballs were just ok. Drinks were good.

"If you watched a show, like I did—‘Somebody Feed Phil’ on Netflix—and you wanted to experience it firsthand, prompting you to visit this place, you made a ‘glamorous mistake.’ At first, I felt angry and then very disappointed, but as the place grew on me, I started to feel the ambiance, almost as if I were looking at a painting. It was no longer about the food; it was about experiencing what we always run away from. No matter how great you were, time can change everything. The glamorous people you see on TV could be sitting in a broken booth, taking orders, and getting frustrated with every ring of the phone. The place is a wreck; it’s not for food, it’s just another roadside eating joint. You can’t sit inside and eat; if you’re not local, I wouldn’t recommend going there at all. I took an Uber to this place at four times the cost of the food and had to stand outside to eat this pizza. If you love to see a part of history, go there. If you have an arrogant boss or colleague, take them there; show them that power and greatness don’t last forever."

Amazing Food grew up going to this place it has the best pizza that I have ever had in my life as my grandfather brought me here growing up. People can say whatever they about service this place is worth the wait. 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 Pizzaria for all
Ryan Darko - 4 months ago

Still one of the best in NYC but take out only means the pie goes in a box where it loses some of that amazing texture you get when eating it right of the oven brought to your table fresh and hot. I fear those days are gone. It was kind of sad picking up our pies with all the old tables and chairs stacked in the corner. Different times for the place that was always my NYC favorite.
Tony Badalamenti - 2 months ago

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.

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!

New spot on Coney Island. Pretty nice place. Dark interior, music playing. Burger was made just right. Fries were good. Beer cold. Good place. Check it out. Service was fantastic

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.

I went to this Popeyes a couple of years back to try some real Louisiana food, and I wasn't disappointed. The flavors were authentic and delicious. The staff was also super kind, making the experience even better. Highly recommended for a taste of Louisiana!
NINO V - a month ago

Popeyes was a great choice for a quick bite. The chicken was crispy, tasty and served hot! The biscuits were buttery and delicious and the apple pie was insanely scrumptious! The service was prompt and efficient, the young lady was courteous and pleasant. The store was clean and organized, and it is wheelchair accessible but small. Talk about fast food - they got it!

In late 2022, I recently visited IHOP and had a delightful experience that truly captured the essence of the holiday season. I tried the Ginger Snap hot chocolate, which was rich, spiced, and incredibly comforting—perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. Accompanying this festive drink was a plate of thick and fluffy French toast that was simply irresistible. Each bite was a warm, indulgent treat, with the toast cooked to perfection and topped with just the right amount of sweetness. The cozy atmosphere and holiday decorations added to the festive vibes, making it feel like a special Christmas morning. It was a memorable visit that left me with a smile and a bit of holiday cheer.

Coney Island IHOP I highly recommend if you're picking an IHOP in the area. Comfortable seating. Air conditioning was on at a nice, cool, comfortable level. Service was great. Waitress kept asking if we needed anything and offered another pot of coffee when ours was done. Cinnamon stack pancakes with side impossible sausage and hash browns are our go to choice and always Hardy and delicious!

Always a nice time going there. The nice lady who took out order was very attentive and on point with suggestions. Food was good. Ice coffee was yum.

IHOP in Coney Island offers a decent dining experience with good food options that cater to a variety of tastes. While the food itself meets expectations in terms of quality and taste, there is room for improvement in other areas, particularly in terms of service. One area where IHOP could enhance the dining experience is by improving their service standards. Being more attentive to customers' needs, maintaining cleaner tables, and having more efficient waitstaff could greatly enhance the overall experience for diners. By making these improvements, IHOP could elevate its dining experience from mediocre to memorable, ensuring that customers not only enjoy their meals but also feel well taken care of during their visit.

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!

Yummy margaritas, great service & super fun & chill vibe. Right in the middle of it all @ Coney Island. Fun spot to people watch & sip frozen concoctions!🍹…hilariously playing football 🏈 in July🇺🇸!

Strong management. They turn any issues around and make any bad staff member be good or else. Indoors if rain and outdoors area. Great prices for Coney Island on beer. They seem to mave some specials on jumbo margaritas but you need to ask. Food prices what you expect for coney island. But for NYC not over the top. Well now have $3 drafts today 4/Aug/2024 so maybe every sunday. During the week they have Margarita and Beer specials. One bartender only thinks beer specials only for draft but another bartender is for all beers of bottles plus cans as well as drafts. 23/Aug2024: All was going well until eay evening when a aggressive African American backed into me a few times crowding me and when I turned around she said "do not touch me, alright" which is aggressive behavior plus race baiting taunting to me. The bouncer also African American tried to calm her down but did not let the manager kniw as a fellow African American and their "bro code".

my gratitude for the wonderful dining experience I had at your restaurant recently. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly service that made me feel right at home. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but meeting the owner was a special touch that truly added to the personal and welcoming atmosphere of your establishment. The Auntie tiramisu dessert was a delightful surprise and the perfect way to end a fantastic meal.

Surf City is the best restaurant after a half marathon!! It has been my 3rd year eating here after Brooklyn Half and it does not disappoint! Location: It is located in Coney Island. Right in front of Cyclone. There a lot of seatings inside and outside! Service: the staff were nice, they are very attentive and give us recommendations. Food: The food is always good! 3 years I have been going here and everything was delicious. PENNE ALA VODKA with SHRIMP: it is probably my favorite! The pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce was just delicious! They topped it with grilled shrimp and it was the perfect addition to the sauce! MARGHERITA PIZZA: best type of pizza here for me! The crust is crispy and cooked properly. The sauce and mozzarella is delicious. 1 slice and I’m already full. SPAGHETTI with MEATBALLS: very authentic! The meatballs is juicy and flavorful inside. The sauce is af course tomato base and tangy. The pasta again is cooked al dente! Price rating: 6/10. To be honest the price is not bad for authentic Italian food. I will definitely come back here to try other food!

Very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend the buffalo chicken wrap and pizza. The Stromboli was more like a hot ham and cheese sandwich and I didn't love it, but it didn't taste bad. To each there own. I would recommend trying it.

pepperoni xtra cheese pizza pie is very good. atmosphere is chill, outside dining is good too, it's hot but you still get a breeze. lots of room for my guest, kids and a stroller. nice place to enjoy a meal. would definitely go back. one suggestion, staff should be more aware of the outside guest because sometimes we go unnoticed out there. looking forward to my next visit

I wanted to order Pasta with Cheese. Was told that it comes with Cheese automatically. When I got home, there was absolutely no cheese in the order. I had to cut my own mozzarella cheese up and essentially remake the order. If I wanted to make food at home I could have saved my money and just bought the raw ingredients at the Super Market a few blocks down. Will not be returning to this restaurant for Pasta. This is not a knock on their other dishes.

This place touched my heart. It's what I expect from America: quality, quantity, fair price. I tried the oysters and fried clams. Exceptional. I also liked the lemonade, very refreshing.
