Coney Island — Restaurant in Kentwood

Massive value and super positive service!

Double Hamburger (with cheese) - $5.89 + 0.50: VERY delicious and huge (quarter for scale)! Worth every penny and then some.

The patty is about a quarter pound each and is medium quality. It is juicy and seasoned with salt just right. The cheese was forgotten originally, but was corrected. The burger was so hot that the cheese had no problem melting after being covered with the foil and was my favorite part (despite the mistake).

The toppings are good, but the lettuce was just a tad wilted. The sauces were in just the right proportions, too. The only two things I’d change are more preferences and very minor. I’m not a big fan of sesame seed buns. Also, the lettuce would be better shredded.

Fries: Purchased separately by my daughter and I did not get the price. They were smaller to medium cut and cooked to perfection (and hot!). The texture was spot with a cripy outside and fluffy inside. They were seasoned with salt.

Service: Some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. They were SUPER positive and greet everyone cheerfully. This is probably their best asset, but definitely not the only one. They love what they do and are really engaged.

Atmosphere: Old diner kind of feel but without the frills. Just your average place. It was clean on the inside. Even then, the staff was going around checking to make sure it was kept clean. The outside looks a bit run down, but the inside is plenty welcoming and ready for anything.

Also note that it looks like they have old style service at your car, but that is actually just parking. They do have a picnic table under the roof, though. It could be nice in the summer (I visited in winter, HA HA).

Conclusion: It was probably the best money I spent on a burger in a long time. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

This one is a little confusing to rate. I ordered a bacon cheese dog and a bacon chili dog. I've seen shows where they wrap the dog in bacon and fry it. This was a regular (steamed?) Dog with a slice of bacon and a slice of cheese. I was expecting shredded or a cheese sauce so another weirdness. The chili sauce was added to the one, that was the only difference. One was a little under $3 and the other slightly over $3. This was ok, but the dogs were small. Like the small ones you can buy for grilling. As for tasted they were both good, but nothing special. Probably a little above average.

The lady making a serving is extremely pleasant and efficient. She loves to talk while making the food.

Overall about a 3 1/2 stars, which for review sake I'll have to round down to a 3. Would I return? Probably not, but if I was hangering for a...

After much debate of not going to the popular gold arches, but still wanting a buger, I decided to give Coney Island a try. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED and I have nothing but respect for this establishment after my first visit. The man on the phone was very courteous and took my order rapidly, and was nice enough to answer questions I had about menu items. My food was ready in a timely manner and the gentleman was nice enough to wait to make my ice cream until I got there. The burger was a larger than usual size, the buns looked like something out of a commercial, and it tasted like someone gave a damn when they made it. The fries are not overly salted to where it hurts your mouth. The sundae was perfection. You can't go wrong with the price to portion ratio either. I look forward to...
