Coney Island Diner

Excellent memories and setting in a nice clean place with great service at the Coney are good as always. We will continue to go here when in town

What a treat! This home-style diner was the perfect road trip stop. I had to try their special, the pea salad. It's basically peas (presumably frozen thawed uncooked) and a few other ingredients tossed with mayo and covered with cheese. It reminded me of something my grandma used to make, which is just fine.Other dishes were great as well. Staff was super friendly. The place was filled with locals when we visited on a weekday.

This is a classic diner in true 1950's style. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive. The food is standard diner fair. There's nothing fancy or "elevated" just solid diner favorites like corned beef hash for breakfast and chili cheese coneys at lunch. The ambiance is straight out of the 1950's, but in an authentic , non-contrived way.

This quaint little diner too me back ! Black and white checkered floor and old fashion bar stools ! The waitresses were inviting and pleasant with great smiles! The famous pea salad did not disappoint! Fresh, cold with delicious dressing ! The coney sauce had a unique flavor that will have meComing back again! Great area surrounding diner with antique shops nearby with cute walking areas . Very cute place!

Good ole fashioned cooking. Everything from fried bologna to homemade pickle beets and sweet potato pancakes

Delicious breakfast omelettes! The staff was very friendly. Overall, great American cuisine!

I love this little place! A true 50's diner. The decor, the music, the service and the food. I felt like I should have dressed in Bobby socks to come in here to meet my letterman-sweater boyfriend for a strawberry milkshake Restaurant: so clean! Lots of spotless stainless steel, old-fashioned glitter booths in great condition and a very clean counter. My server was probably the sweetest person in all of Mansfield. It was my first time in here and she made me feel like a regular - just loved her. The food was good and so classic! I got a double cheeseburger w/ the works and fries. The (steak burger) burger is the old-fashioned hand made ones and fries were done perfectly. I finished my lunch with a cup of coffee - not Starbucks but Starbucks is not what you want. Diner-perfect coffee was great. If I'm ever back in Mansfield for lunch, I'll definitely drop by.

Had the coney with onion and fries. The coney sauce was awful. The fries were great. Our waitress was awesome! My husband ordered the same thing and he liked his coneys. Two different people with obviously two different opinions. Try for yourself and be the judge.

My boyfriend and I have gone here a couple times in the past week and the diner itself is so cozy! The food is amazing and the waitress was so sweet!

It's always hard to write a review for a favorite place that you have decided to no longer patronize. Long time customers of Coney Island Diner in the Carousel district on downtown Mansfield, my family for several generation would frequent the diner almost once a week. Our daughter, who grew up eating there, always made sure to stop for lunch when she was home after moving to Georgia. After the business was sold to the new owners when Cathy and Jim retired many held their breath hoping that not only the great food but the restaurant "Cheers" vibe would continue. Sadly over the past few years all of this has slipped away. Here are a few examples. While they obtained the actual "secret" recipe coney sauce as part of the deal, there have been a few times when they have "run out". Our recent visit this week found the buns hard and not fresh and the hot dogs are decidedly smaller. The "famous pea salad" has also taken a hit. It was maintained in its original incarnation for about the first year, and excepting sometimes they didn't get the proportions of ingredients as the original, it was still good. As of late, the lettuce is hardly visible anymore. It's not so much a salad anymore but peas, onions, bacon and LOTS of shredded Swiss cheese on a plate. What lettuce is there is very old (brown spots) and not the green part of the iceberg but the bland center heart of the head. I have had to send it back several times. Finally this week I didn't as our waitress never stopped back to ask about our meals so at this point why bother. They are closed more than they are open. If you look at their facebook page you will see they are closed frequently for various reasons, no cook (which we could give them a pass sometimes, but this happens a lot), family event, out of this or that, etc, etc. So, the hours posted are not consistently reliable. You get the impression that the new owners are running the diner as hobby, not a business. Sad, with the decline of the quality of their namesake items, the inconsistent hours of operation, we fear that the diner is headed for more loyal customer losses such as us.
