Lipuma's Coney Island

First time and not the last.Despite this was made to feel right at home in a cozy and quaint place. The secret here is to know what you want and order it, pay and it gets ready promptly.My friend and I each had a couple dogs each. He had to Chicago Dogs which looked fresh and he said Delicious.I had the New York and a regular Coney and we agreed we will return.On a side note there is outdoor, covered seating with the Clinton River running by.

Back again! Visited on a Saturday in February around 1:30 and it was busy! The staff was wonderful-the owner was washing tables, checking on customers and keeping things moving. The chili cheese fries hit the spot(one of my favs) and the coney with cheese was perfect! The inside was full but the patio was heated.

Lipuma's is a staple for Rochester and the food is always fresh and fast plus you get big portion sizes on the fries and the drinks. My favorite item to order is the coney dog with mustard and also get a mustard dog. Both of the hot dogs I get are always tasty and the flavor hasn't changed in many years. It's always very busy but they get you through the line pretty quick and the owner is always talking to everyone that comes into this Coney Island. The place is always buzzing with people being happy with their food and happy with the atmosphere which is always the best. Highly recommended.

Sheesh, these dogs are amazing! I got the Texas, Chicago and NY; while it's heavy on the ingredients, that's a pretty good complaint to have. The Chicago dog was definitely my favorite. I did not get any of the chili cheese fries but I saw others get it and I was a bit envious. The folks were kind and the food was ready quickly. It's such a cool spot amongst all the "fine dining" establishments nearby. Sometimes a good dog is all you need! I can't wait for my next time.

Grew up going here, incredible chili dogs and fries! Highly highly highly recommend. It feels very homey and I feel that's one of the main draws.

This is an ICONIC Coney Dog Drive In ~ we live in Las Vegas are visiting family & this is ALWAYS a must GO. Coney Dogs are NOT Chili Dogs just for reference, coney dogs are meat no beans with a hot dog, mustard on a bun~ I don't get the attraction however this restaurant always is crowded so their product is highly desired. Many different type of hot dogs are available along with soup, chix nuggets, french fries, soft drinks and i believe a salad or 2. All dogs are $3.50 ~ Great for families, kids etc, free parking, a few tables inside and more on the covered patio. CASH ONLY so make sure to go the the ATM before

**CASH ONLY**I've driven by this place a million times but never stopped in because there was always a line wrapped around the building, and let's be honest, I'm not standing in line for food, especially in the elements. LOL.Well, I was driving today and finally had the time to stop in and realized it wasn't busy and were just opening. Parking here's kind of tight and they have signs that if you aren't there for the restaurant or the realtors office, you'll be towed. Yikes! Good to know though.Walking in the place is kind of small but they have outdoor seating that's covered along with heat lamps for this time of year. The place is pretty old school with a really basic menu and the letters you have to manually put up one by one. Their pricings really good. About $3 to $3.50 a hot dog, $3 for a drink, etc. They have a great selection of dogs to choose from and I asked a lot of questions before I ordered. The guy behind the counter gave me a ton of info and was really super helpful.I went with the Texas dogs which came with coleslaw and a pickle on top. I got two, but probably would've been okay with one and I got a drink as well. Total was just under $10. Not to bad, but they don't accept cards! WHY! It's 2022 and you could at least have a card reader and require a minimum. I docked a star for this because there's no reason in this day and age to not accept cards.Also, they don't do breakfast! I asked why and they said it's because they want to be an authentic Coney and just offer dogs and such. Okay, fine, I learned my lesson. So, lunch and dinner only here I guess. Overall a really solid place and worth a stop if you have time. Just go when it's not busy so you can dine inside and not wait in line or have to take your food elsewhere to eat.

If you're reading this Yelp review....I can only hope that you are an out of towner who has turned to Yelp to find some great local food in the Rochester area. Goodness knows, the locals already have been in on the secret of this Rochester community staple. If that is the case, you can probably stop reading and just put Lipuma's into Waze and head on down.In my opinion there is only one better Coney Island in the Detroit area...and that's Lafayette Coney downtown. But since the two are so far from one another, each occupies a different spot in my eating rotation.A Lipumas experience starts when you order at the counter. The staff is fast, friendly and gets your food to you quickly....word of caution, bring cash...no credit cards accepted.Food in hand, it's time to chow down. The chili here is outstanding, definitely more flavorful and (importantly) consist than the bigger franchised Coneys around town. It shines on their hot dogs and fries. The fries are always fresh and crispy. The coneys are great,,,I love how finely they chop the onions...it's like an onion relish not big, sloppy chunks. While the hot dogs don't have the snap that you get from a natural casing dog, they taste good enough to overlook that minor flaw.I can't wait for my next trip to Lipuma!

Coneys are solid, the tacos and burritos are outstanding. Chili cheese fries are also a must order every time.

Last of a dying breed. Coneys and chili fries are great. No cards allowed bring cash. Service is always great and speedy. Parking is not ideal but hey the coneys make up for it
