Coney Island Deluxe

I was so excited to come and have a Coney. I crave them sometimes and have been coming here since the early 70’s. What a disappointment. Believe me, I have always been their biggest fan. They do not finely chop their onions any more, they come from a supplier. And, they changed their buns. Little changes make a huge difference. IT DOESN’T TASTE THE SAME! The Original Coney’s is no more. I can only hope they will go back to the original way.

Love this place. Best coneys around! The interior hadn’t changed since forever but love that about them!

Absolutely the BEST coneys and burgers. The fries — always burn your mouth hot out of the fryer — are the perfect crunch outside with a consistently well done inside. The coneys («without», i.e. No onions) for me, are a wonderful guilty pleasure. The coney sauce and good quality dogs and buns make it. The coney sauce I could eat by the pint (do they sell that separately???) and covers the dog perfectly end to end. In all the years I’ve been going there, I’ve never seen one bit drip off — so you never lose even one delicious bite.
This makes for a very inexpensive lunch ($ 22 – 25 for 4), and you feel great about supporting a family-​run Duluth institution.
The owners and staff are super-​friendly and really appreciate your business. Yes, the décor hasn’t been updated since who knows when but that only makes the place charming. Despite the age, it is always completely clean — spotless in fact — and welcoming.

There is only four places in minnesota to get coneys and as an overall experience this place is the big winner. The staff is attentive and knows their stuff, the coneys are great, and the place looks like you time traveled to 1940. just eating here makes my three hour trip to duluth worthwhile.

Love the Gyros with sauce on the side please. I love the Coney Sauce. I usually visit this establishment weekly. George’s and his staff are pleasant and efficient and enjoyable to be served by.

Friends took me here on my first trip to Duluth. They are natives and grew up on this place and love it so I went with it.
Personally, I found the entire experience disgusting. Cheap, skinny dogs on Wonder Bread buns and some dark ‘sauce’ that was bitter and greasy. I ordered two dogs with fries and focused on the fries while leaving most of the dogs to be tossed in the garbage.
Much like some places in my hometown which I absolutely love, this place isn’t going to do anything for anyone who hasn’t acquired a taste for this slop unless they’re dying of starvation (literally).
I can appreciate the sentimental value to those that grew up here and knew nothing better but unless that’s you, you don’t need to bother with this place at all.

Amazingly cheap and delicious breakfast. $ 7 for a massive amount of food. Ate it in the coffee shop next door which is allowed, and vice versa for coffee in their restaurant.

Home for the dregs of society. Be warned. Expect to be panhandled at your table at least twice, while chewing tasteless food. You can find better Coney’s at any gas station.

Always the best. No contest. If you’re a coney island style hot dog fan, you need to make the trek to Duluth, Minnesota to try the best. «Secret lingo», walk up to the counter, and say «three with» (for here or to go).

It is hard for me to eat here anymore after watching the employees prepare my food on a couple of occasions. Handling the money and then going straight to prepare my food with their bare hands was not an exactly appetizing experience. I did go there the other day and ordered a chocolate malt which was very good though!

If I could give a 2 and a half rating, I would!
After my husband ran the Grandma’s marathon, he was craving a Coney! At the time, I had never eaten a Coney dog in my life, so I was super psyched to try one out. This place was packed, so we assumed that the dogs were decent.
We ordered three Coney dogs with everything, my husband requested some fries as well. He says the fries were a bit soggy, not the usual crispy texture he was expecting. I think he threw away the fries shortly after trying them too. The dogs were ok, nothing spectacular. I hope to try Coney dogs again, but I might try visiting somewhere else instead.

This is my favorite place to go for GYROS in the twin ports (I also like Kosta’s, if I’m in Superior). I’ve eaten gyros across the country, and this place is just as good as anywhere else. Their gyro meat is tasty, the sauce is tangy and creamy, the tomato and onion is always fresh and the pita is the right texture, taste and chewiness.
There are two locations — Superior St and 1^st Street, but they are different owners, and different quality of gyros. 1^st Street location is the only one to go to for gyros. I almost found out the hard way that the Superior St location uses that pressed meat like you get in the grocery store, for their gyro meat. Disgusting! Luckily, I saw them grilling it for another customer, before we ordered. We left immediately and went up one block to 1^st St.
My boyfriend loves the Coney dogs. He grew up on them and said they were «traditional.» As he explained it, NO BEANS in my sauce! And the buns are the right amount of fluffy white softness.
I also like their fries. Always fried fresh for each order, the good ol’ fashioned diner fries that are crunchy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside.
Don’t go here because you want «ambiance.» I took one star off for the décor. This place needs to be remodeled. It looks like an old time deli /​diner and has the same furniture it had in the 70’s. I don’t care though, no one gets fancy in Duluth. I go for good flavors and good prices.

The best Coney Island I’ve had in MN (skip the burger). Check out the old time shipping pictures on the walls, including the Edmund Fitzgerald. This place is a Duluth institution.

Not a good hot dog

You are right on Joey J., and they don’t give you any grief for ordering breakfast like the Superior St. outlet. Make the trek one block up! If I could give half stars I would make this 2.5 stars

Interesting. Classic old time place with a unique flavor. Great employees.

Years of watching the Simpsons has taught me that whenever there are twins, one is good and one is inevitably evil. Of the two Coney Island establishments in downtown Duluth, this is definitely the good one. There’s something a little off about the chili they top their Coney dogs with, but it’s still the best chili dog in Duluth. The gyro is a little on the small side, but it’s topped with one of the better tzatziki sauces I’ve ever had.
It’s definitely worth a hike up one street of the hill for a better quality cheap lunch.
