Dan's Coney Island — Restaurant in Lansing

Not just hot dogs and burgers. My husband and I have been going to Dan's for several years and I haven't been disappointed yet. The coney dogs were our first order, but it didn't take us long to discover all the other great food Dan's has on the menu. Our favs right now are the omelette's. My husband orders the Western (covered in chili) and I am addicted to the Veggie. At Dan's, Veggie means you can pick whatever vegetable you want, and if they have it, you can put it in your omelette. I'm stuck on spinach, onion tomato, green pepper, and mushroom with American cheese right now, but I know whatever I want in my omelette it will taste great! We skip the sides of potato and toast because my husband is diabetic and he doesn't eat them. I don't get them, even tho' they come with the omelette because it would be too much food for dinner. Just the omelette is a perfectly sized dinner all by itself. Dan's also has great soups and salads. We order the Cobb salad to share and then we each choose our own bowl of soup. That's always a good dinner choice. My husband loves Dan's Greek salad so we occasionally order that as well. The gyros are one of my favorites, but you can't ever go wrong with the club sandwich. I only order those things when I am eating alone so I don't have to listen to my husband complain about how delicious my food looks when he can't eat them, too. Dan's has great food and even diabetics have plenty of choices from the menu. I always get our dinners to-go because we always get take out and eat at home no matter where I order from. House rules. The food is always ready fast and is always hot. The staff is friendly and they always make sure my order is right. They don't even think it's weird that I order my husband's coney dogs without the buns. Just two dogs covered with Detroit style coney sauce, onions and...

I gave 2 stars because the food was actually cooked very good. I am no longer in the restaurant business but when I was, I could have been hired to run any restaurant in Lansing. I helped a few very well known restaurants get back on their feet. There is basically no general management here and if there is, that person is really bad. We had a gentleman in an apron bring us our drinks holding them against his chest. We ordered 2 gyro plates for lunch and had literally 2 different waitresses which is very unprofessional. We lifted the condiments and it was nasty and sticky and you could see they didn't clean under them. We sat and watched all the waitstaff sit at the bar and gossip and talk about their personal life, and of course surf phones as well. The ketchup and mustard containers were so nasty and faded that you could just tell there is no accountability here. We went without ketchup for our fries because we were afraid to touch or taste what was in the bottles. We got 1 coffee refill, and there were only about 6 tables in the place full and 4 waitresses. Maybe their local customers don't care about these things, but it's too bad to see that a place could do 4 times the sales and they have no clue. The waitstaff could make 4 times what they do also if they just had proper training and knew how to properly do their job. For a location that's had many things fail, I don't see them making it too much longer the way they are. It's too bad the owner here doesn't...

This was our first time going and it was ok. I ordered the Greek skillet with extra feta and extra tzatziki sauce. My skillet barely had a sprinkle of feta on it (in the picture is over half the feta that was on my skillet) and I received 1 tzatziki sauce. My husband ordered the meat skillet and liked it except the potatoes. I liked the potatoes a lot. We ordered biscuits and gravy to share. The server brought them early which was appreciated, however we didn't even eat half of them because they weren't good at all. We were really surprised when we got our bill and for a tiny cup of feta it was $2.05 and $1.05 for tzatziki. When I say tiny I mean a teeny tiny cup of feta. Not even a .5 ounce cup of feta. I'm aware that feta isn't the cheapest cheese but I know it isn't nearly that expensive and maybe they should actually put feta on a Greek skillet. Seems like a GREEK skillet would come with GREEK sauce. Also, the "large" orange juice is smaller than a small bottle of Frank's red-hot and it was $3.85. I would hate to see the size a small cup of juice is. In the picture, you can see that the standard pepper shaker is barely shorter than the cup of juice. We won't...
