Breakfast meal was substandard for a Coney Island restaurant. And the surprise egg surcharge didn't make it any better. Service was slow but ok.

My first visit here was some 25+ years ago. It was a favourite back then and it remains so today.This is a 'diner' restaurant, and they certainly have more than Coney Island style hot dogs available. My favorite mealtime here is breakfast. I always get a hearty meal to start my day, but as summertime approaches, I might try to slim down a bit and order a lighter meal (I never do, but you never know - it might happen).They currently close at 4pm during the M-F work days, so I have to hustle for a meal to eat before going home for the day.Good meals every time I visit, and their service is always on point.A favourite of mine, I highly recommend.

Quick service. Tasty, fresh and flavorful food. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a diner. Just a relaxed comfortable area to enjoy some food.

It's a typical Coney Island. Fast and friendly service, decent food and relatively cheap prices for breakfast. There's really not much to complain about but also nothing that's outstanding.

Good food, good (but slow when busy) service. Free parking.Waitress had a huge area to cover during very busy Sunday brunch. We were a large party with 3 seniors, 2 adults, a 4 year old and a 20 month old baby.We each ordered a different breakfast item.I enjoyed my spinach tomato onion feta omelet sided made with egg whites instead of whole eggs (upcharge $1.45) with hash browns and a delicious biscuit instead of toast. Everyone in our party was happy with their food.The kitchen was backed up (very very busy brunch service) so not all of each order arrived at the same time, but our egg dishes were received hot and freshly made, not cold!!! We used plastic ware because the dishwasher wasn't fast enough to handle the demand.I would return. Our relatives who live close by have this place on regular rotation for weekend brunch. They've been going here for years.I definitely recommend this brunch!Reasonably priced and free parking.All the staff with whom we interacted were welcoming, friendly and pleasant.I'd return.

Haven't been to Senate's since the Michigan Avenue days. One of the oldest establishments in southeast Michigan! I remembered it wasn't all that bad back then and that alone told me to try Senate's again. Ordered two with everything and it wasn't as I expected. The dogs did not have the snap that I'm used to from any coney place. The chili was ok and seem to missing something.. The waitresses I most definitely give a shout out too!

This has been in my bookmarks for a while. My co-worker & I had lunch here today. Our server never wiped the counter that we were sitting at, and our french fries were virtually wet with oil, soggy french fries are not a good idea.Highly doubt we will revisit this place.

My husband and I came here to get breakfast, because it was rated the highest out of the coneys in the area. When I walked in the restaurant smelled like a musty old folks home plus frying oil. The waitress was pleasant and did a nice job, she only came two or three times to our table. The food was the nastiest food I've ever ever had from Coney Island. I sort of feel bad saying it, but everything had a rancid oil taste, even the pancakes, which were somehow bitter and burnt tasting. I ordered bacon, hashbrowns, and pancakes, it looked fine, but tasted old, not fresh, burnt, even though it was not visibly blackened, so I'm thinking there must've been a chemical or old oil on the grill. I picked at my food and would not come back here again.

First of all let me tell you how disgusting Senate Coney Island is and how the stench of it reminds me of a sewer. Second, let me tell you about my findings in my food. I'm sitting down eating, and while sending my fork into my could have been much better meal, I noticed a piece of metal. I called the waitress over to which she went over to the owner who was sitting at the counter eating her own meal to tell her. You would think the owner would take a break from indulging in her I'm sure perfect meal, but no, she kept sitting there. After being offered $1.00 off of my meal, I then decided it was time to approach the owner. After informing her that I would not be a returning customer and that I'll never come back, she literally told me that it was a slap in the face to her that I said that, and that I insulted her establishment. Of course I reminded her how insulting it was to me that she never took her fork out of her food to approach me even to apologize. If you think all of that is bad, he following response just topped off my horrible experience. Do you know that she literally told me to kiss her ass? Yup! She told me to kiss her ass. Let me just express how classless the owner is and how insulting it is to even have her categorized as customer service representative. Being the owner of an establishment you are responsible for providing the best customer service representing your business. As I stated before, I WILL NOT be returning to Senate and I DO NOT recommend anyone to visit this nasty place.
