The LEGENDARY Fort Wayne Coney Island restaurant is a childhood favorite of mine and a downtown…read moreFort Wayne institution that has been around for over 100 years! Their version of a coney dog has mustard, LOTS of onions, a meaty chili soup sauce, and boiled buns and weiners. Each one costs a fabulous $1.95 in 2026. I haven't eaten here since before Covid so I was excited to come back and get a quick meal here - as well as introduce my boyfriend to the food staples of my hometown! He ordered two Ft Wayne coney dogs and a side of frito chips while I ordered one coney dog and a side of "chili soup." Yes, it is exactly how it sounds. A very soup-y chili. Our order was less than $15 total! You can't find a deal like this anywhere anymore! So come to Ft Wayne Coney and people watch while surrounding yourself in a world of nostalgia. And not only is the food fast and cheap, it is also made with love and delicious!

I drove from Chicago to Fort Wayne, specifically to go to a couple of restaurants, and this was my…read morefirst stop of the day. I parked out back, and walked through the kitchen (pretty cool). I took a seat at one of the stools at the counter. About those........this place has been around since the early 1900s, and you can tell. The stools were the size to fit people back then. My big ass barely fit on it, and this old timer next to me went to sit down, and missed the stool completely and almost took a tumble (thankfully he did not fall down). I placed my order for 2 hot dogs and a large Dr Pepper. How were they? Delicious! Coney Dogs- These dogs come with a loose meat style coney sauce, mustard and onions all on a soft steamed bun. The most awesome part, they are only $2.00 each! You can't get anything these days for $2.00. The dogs were delicious! I can see how they have been around 100+ years. If I wasn't going to another place to eat afterwards, I could have put down 4-5 dogs, easily. Service was very friendly, and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Would definitely stop back in if I'm ever near Fort Wayne again!

By mid-game, my family was hungry... so off I went to get them food. It was family feast night, so…read moreselect concessions were about $2 and I wanted to take advantage of the promotion. I wondered what the "select concessions" were... but I guess I would find out once I placed my order. I went to the Ball Park Favorites Concession which sells the following food: chicken tenders, fries, fried chicken sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, bratwurst, chili cheese dogs, hot dogs, funnel cakes, cheese curds, pretzels, nachos of all kinds, caramel corn, peanuts, candy, potato chips, cookies, and apple sauce. This concession stand also sells the following drinks: bottled water, sodas, apple juice, as well as premium and domestic draft beers. The family feast special was $2 for soft drinks and hot dogs. I was in the mood for a stadium hot dog, my family wanted chicken tenders. So i got two orders of chicken tenders and fries, a hot dog and fries and three sodas for about $32. The line does get long but the workers hustle, so i may have waited 10 minutes. If your wondering about condiments, there is a condiment station nearby to put whatever you like. I am a purist, so i just went with mustard. The hot dog was plump and flavorful, the fries were nice, crunch and salty. I had a bite of one of the tenders and they were so good! I almost wished I had gotten that instead of the hot dog... and I loved the hot dog. The cold drinks helped us survive longer in the heat... which would not let up even into the night. Great food!

I love this place! They always have a good selection of hot dogs that are made just right…read more My coworkers and I get this place a couple times a month it seems, and they ALWAYS deliver. Another huge reason that keeps me coming back is the people that work there, they are always so happy and talkative when I walk in. From the first time I ordered it to now, I have not called in an order simply because I enjoy talking to the folks behind the counter, they really know how to make you feel welcome in a seemingly unwelcoming world. Thank you, Eddie!

They do many kinds of dogs and a few other sandwiches. Now here's the bad news: they have no "fryer" so no fries! No onion rings! No potato skins! No Tater Tots! The good news is that it's worth going just for the dogs. Toppings are perfect. I had a perfect Chicago-style and my wife loved her All American. We split a dog with kraut. Still needing sides, wife had Mac & Cheese that she liked and I enjoyed "Grandma's" slaw. It was just like my grandma's! So - get in the mood for a hot dog and go get them. Recommended!

Everyone knows the best hot dogs are Vienna beef and anyone from Chicago or NYC will attest to that. T Allen's is good, but the buns are blah. A real Chicago dog had a steamed poppyseed bun. This place checked all the boxes and was cheap! I used to go to a place in Michigan City with my dad every time we went to the movies. This place " tastes like my childhood" thank you for the nostalgia. It's nothing fancy, just some sweet ladies working behind the counter. Grab a meal here then go to St Patrick's park for a picnic. They also have burgers, Italian beef, and ice cream, plus soup! I'll be back!

There's plenty of parking, very accessible. I loved how simply smart they are using the Joe Coffee app! Why doesn't everyone use Joe? It's integrated mobile orders and rewards as good as Toast, maybe better. They had a clearly marked side entry for pickup which I will definitely use next time. I'd really like to see an option for bringing in your own containers though especially for top tier craft served here because plastic is not becoming the quality espresso! But big plastic, oh so big, they got an all day drip options, 32oz that looks wildly gigantic next to medium and small. I will be ordering that bigly big next time given the raging success we all had. What a menu, house made syrups are rare enough but an entire encyclopedia selection of everything from herbal, flowery, chocolate, caramel, and how would I survive living two hours away from this? I controlled myself at the extra polite register guy's professional attitude waiting on their last rather silly customer ten minutes to closing and ordered up three beverages, two dark cocoa and my own attempt at trying new things, raspberry and white chocolate. The stuff was made quickly, iced so missing latte art but that's OK because what a sock rockin sip! I had to try the dark chocolate, rich and balanced perfectly between bitter and tingling. I've never had a basic mocha this right. My red berry and white cocoa was a heavenly bean brew too. I haven't drank one so quick in a while and then realized I should've gotten the 32oz. I will definitely be back next time I get to Fort Wayne and bring the friends. Few places ever manage to get me so excited to try the entire menu, but it must be done!
