It was our first time going into Coney Dog Cafe today, a very nice restaurant and a clean restaurant. The staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile. We barely had to wait 10 minutes for our food to come out nice and hot. Even with eating the chilli last it still was nice and warm. All the food was good, especially the onion rings I would say make the meal. We will be coming back for more great food next time!

2 slaw dogs n 2 sliders

Well..Hmmm Will never go again. Husbands food cold. Who eats cold sliders with no onions ?? Unless you order no onions. Cold slaw dogs. Looked like they weren't even cooked at all and tasted old and boiled. Hot fries and onion rings. Very nice waitress. Still kinda dirty looking . Old used menus on the table. Yeah wrinkled and dried food on them. Holy cow !! That's it for ConeyDog Cafe in New Haven. Sad.

9th year anniversary prices.

Coney Dog Cafe is one of the hottest restaurants in New Haven! A reservation 3 weeks in advance will still have you eating after 5pm, and even then you may get "bumped" by a celebrity patron. In our case, it was an employed person. In all honesty, these are not the kind of places that I am inclined to like very much, but this place offers up amazing food at a really affordable price's(see pictures), so like every mere mortal, I anxiously await my turn in the very short line to eat here. It really is worth the effort., That was a newspaper food critics type review. Now what do you really want to know? Is it really worth the effort to go? Depends, if you are looking for a typical dough nut type shop atmosphere. With newspapers laying out? No they don't buy any, a customer will have to leave one. The chief, was a young teenager. He was replaced by a very experienced type hot dog chief. This should tell you about the skill level of the employees that got (retired) here. The food is very well garnished, with fresh buns. But the hot dags are of economical meat? And had oil coming up my throat, after about a half an hour. Even with the bread from the bun. The french fries are also oily and did the same thing. All in all it is not that bad of a place to go to. *Note* If they went down to Wall mart, instead of the Gordon's Food supply. Then bought expensive "all beef" hot dogs. I would bump them up one star.

Chicago and New England dogs, slider

Visited today...and we ordered a variety of items. My kids are not huge Coney dog fans so we were glad to find lots of different options for them. My husband and I sampled the New England. Chicago and regular Coney dogs along with a slider for each of us. They were delicious! We also ordered two onion rings (go ahead and order the family size because we loved them so much we ended up eating another order!). The onion rings were nice and crispy and the perfect size - not too thin or fat. Our kids both ordered the walking taco which they gobbled down. They said they were better than the other ones I do at home, hands down. The service was also excellent - we had Cassie as our server. The foot came out quick so even if you I don't have a lot of time, you can pick something up fast. I noticed there were a lot of carry out while we were enjoying the dine in. So next time you are nearby either one of their two locations, stop in for a quick bite; you'll be glad you did!

Sadly the breaded pork tenderloin has changed to a lowly pork fritter. Big difference.

It's decent-sized once you get in, plus they have an extra party room. We went there on my birthday, which was kind of a letdown. My friend ordered the corned beef and cabbage, which I also ordered. But the waitress talked me out of it and told me I should order the enchiladas so I could share. So I did, but I told her absolutely no onions because I am allergic to them. I started eating my enchilada and pulled out a huge onion and then like ten more. After pulling out all the onions I couldn't eat, there was barely any meat, so I was basically eating tortilla in sauce. I told our waitress and she apologized and told me that she told the cook no onions. I told her not to worry about it. My friend's corned beef and cabbage was good. The corned beef was a huge portion and cooked perfectly, but the cabbage was a little overcooked. Our waitress was very nice, but did not offer to take my meal off the bill, so I paid for something that could have harmed me. For $38, I was really hoping for a better experience and food, but I am willing to give it another try someday because they have such a huge menu. Next time, I think I will try their biscuits and gravy.

I was confused that the sauce options were not on the menu. However the kind bartender gave me an 8 pack of sauces to try. I found that the Carolina mustard sauce was my favorite. Very mild in spice. The consistency was also thin so it had trouble sticking to the wing. A slight mustard taste that accented the crispy fried skins nicely. This order had 10 nicely sized wings. The wing was was cooked perfectly - no pink on the inside. The skin was nicely crisp without being crunchy. Extra crispy wings have never been my favorite. However, Rack & Hellen's did an incredible job with these wings! I loved the onions rings. A large-thick piece of onion with a thick batter. The batter was moderately crispy but a bit oily to taste. Definitely recommend! The mac salad was very good. They use a larger shell along with egg and possibly onion. The mayo is pretty heavy. However the dish was pretty tasty! On this occasion I sat at the bar. The place was busy. There were plenty of servers hustling and helping each other. The bartenders were very kind and friendly. I was pleased that the food came out rather quickly!

Avocados really are a big part of my diet, and when I was visiting Fort Wayne, I started to feel a little like a junkie itching for a fix. I needed something avocado-y! Luckily, I was staying in a hotel one block away from Kanela, so I walked there for breakfast to get an avocado toast. The avocado toast at Kanela was just what I needed: smashed avocado on a piece of sourdough bread, topped with chopped tomatoes and onions, corn and a sprinkle of cojita cheese. It was fresh and nourishing. The avocado toast went really well with my freshly made juice. I love a good juice bar, and Kanela makes their juices fresh when you order them. I lean toward the vegetal, earthy kinds of juices rather than sweet juices, so I got the Green Boost: green apples, celery, kale, cucumber, ginger and lime. But they also have sweet juices, too. Have you ever drank (drunk?) something and felt like the cells of your body were being filled up with nutrients as you consumed it? No? Just me? Well, that's what it felt like drinking this juice! My black coffee was great too, but it was overshadowed by the avocado toast and juice. But it was hot and black and caffeinated, so it did its job. Kanela has a lot of things to drink -- coffee drinks, smoothies, juices, frappes, energy drinks -- and a few things to eat for breakfast and lunch, including the aforementioned avocado toast, but also a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, wraps and panini. Actually, just one choice of wrap and panini. Beverages are the star here, really.
