FOOD = 3SERVICE = 2. You will wait.PRICE = 3AMBIANCE = 3. Clean.WOULD EAT HERE AGAIN = I would give it one more try. The first impression was so so.But I have found once you know what to expect you to adjust.I would not dissuade anyone from eating here.The service was challenged due to not enough help. Though in a short time more staff showed up. Food was a bit salty to my taste. I had a ham and cheese olmet. It took time for food.People waited in line.The ambiance is a diner. Nothing unacceptable.If you want more than one cup of coffee, it could be challenged if a crowd.The breakfast menu is limited.

Great people working the counter and a welcoming, old school feel to the place. I loved the booths. Took me back to my childhood. The hot dogs were tasty. Not too big, but what you come here for is the secret chili sauce. It's delicious! I support any family-owned spot that's been around for over one hundred years. Next time I'm going to try the Sundowner burger. This is a place the city can be proud of.

This Johnstown staple hasn't changed at all for literally decades. It's a stubborn testament for those yearning for a cheap meal that harkens back to yesteryears. Let's talk food here: Your options here for lunch or dinner are hot dogs or hamburger. I recommend the original coney dogs. The food is simple, no fuss, and pretty darn cheap. Is it mindblowingly good? No. Is it good for a cheap meal or a meal after some drinks? Absolutely. The fries are made to order. They're soggy but there's just something about a soggy fried French fry. The service: here's where things sorta fall apart for me. There are signs hanging above the counter indicating where to order food. But I found out the only things you order at the ORDER HERE sign are burgers and hot dogs. Everything else you order at the register. The fries are brought out last from the back of the restaurant- usually take 5-10 for the fries to come out. Regardless of how busy it gets here the staff isn't phased one but and move at their own pace.... So much so it's a little off putting. Ambiance? Well... overall the restaurant hasn't changed a bit for decades. Take that for what you will.

I had to do an update since my original review. Especially since some things have happened in the span of years between my reviews. A few years back, Coney Island wasn't doing too well. Which is bad for Johnstown, as it has been a community staple and one of the few reasons to go to Downtown Johnstown. I'm not absolutely sure of all the specifics, but the family that owned it passed it onto their son (I think) and then the business kind of got ran into the ground. When the news hit that Coney Island was to close, the community felt that.But, all is not lost, someone came in and saved the day. They bought the business and reopened to the public just the way they had left things and with a few improvements.The food is still spectacular. I will always come here when I am near it. Pop in for either a quick eat-in lunch or take home meal. When I say that the food is spectacular it can come off as an understatement. They did not change a thing about the way the hot dogs, chili, or burgers are prepared. That is the charm of this place.I have yet to come here to try out breakfast, but I am fine with popping in whenever I have the time. You must try the Coney Dogs and a Sundowner. I think what puts these over the top is the chili. That chili is something that feels like you need to bathe in it. It is comforting and satisfying. And the fries, amazing! Any place that prepares the fries as you order them is tops in my book. Not only are they prepared fresh, the are fresh cut. Get them topped with the chili and cheese and it is a meal all by itself. I swear on that.The improvements they have made are a true compliment to this place. They now accept card payments. No long a 'Cash Only' establishment. This alone has upped my visitations here. They also offer delivery as well now. They adapted to the pandemic and I honestly think they have benefited from it all.I can honestly say that this is my favorite eatery in all of Johnstown. It's nostalgic and welcoming.

It has been ages since I was a "regular" at Coney Island. New owners, same hot dogs as far as I can tell. Only thing that really stood out to me this time is how POTENT their onions were with my most recent trip. Almost too overpowering, but I still enjoyed my hot dogs.They do take credit cards now, so disregard previous reviews that state otherwise.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was grea! I had the Coney Dog and FF. The Coney Dog had the right snap and great flavor. The FF were fresh cut and cooked to perfection. The staff were happy people. They were able to chat amongst themselves but constantly working. I strongly recommend giving this restaurant a try. I know I will go back again. Staff of Coney Island Lunch - great service and so friendly!

This place is so cool. It's so nostalgic, it's very basic but that's probably what makes it so good. Great service and the fresh cut fries were great!
