Coney Island Cafe - Hattiesburg

The best dining spot in Hattiesburg! The atmosphere is friendly, though the service from the staff can vary, and they offer delicious and affordable meals.

"This is undoubtedly one of the oldest and finest diners in Hub city! The food here is the best in town!"

I really enjoyed the chili cheese burger and the fresh-cut curly fries!

Service was great! Very friendly! Food was really great!

Ive spent enough time in Michigan to equate the term coney with what the rest of the country would call a chili dog. I went in hoping for something tubular covered in chili and if I was lucky some cheese as well. Well, Coney Island Cafe did not have chili dogs. What I was greeted with when entering was a real honest to goodness greasy spoon. The type my grandfather would take me to for lunch when I was a child 40+ years ago. Of course I sat at the counter. As I stated above, no chili dogs were to be had but they did have hot dogs, burgers, bbq sandwiches, and fried chicken. The prices were great. I got a cheeseburger that was plenty fine. It rivaled what you could make at home. I noticed plate after plate of fried chicken kept coming by so I 'm guessing their fried chicken is the thing to get. I 'll be back to try the fried chicken because this place ticks all the right buttons. Good food, good prices, and though it isn 't exactly like the burger joint my grandpa would take me to, it 's close enough to it in spirit that it ticks the nostalgia button as well just get there for lunch because they close at 2 in the afternoon.
