I was there early during the week and they were really the only ones open besides another sit down restaurant. They do have some seating here but it's first come first serve.

I've dropped by here a few times for a cold beer after a race on the boardwalk to cool down and relax in the sun. They have a small but decent enough beer list, from Coney Island pilsner to Bud, to Kona Big Wave and a few others all under $10. Also, some canned beers such as High Noon and Goose Island IPA. I skip eating here as most of the menu is unhealthy but they do have some healthy things such as a few salads and fruit bowls. I've found the service here to also be ok.

Who knows if the famous Nathan's "snap" will fall by the wayside in favor of cheaper ingredients but I suspect Joey Chestnut won't fare as well trying to down 75 fried egg rolls in 120 seconds. In any case it might make for some awfully fun television... Mystery Meat Theater. Four curious stars.

We visited Coney Island on Jun 26, 2025 and had lunch from Nathan's Famous on the recommendation of…read moreour tour guide. He insisted we try their hot dogs. At the Riegelmann Boardwalk location, We ordered two original dogs, a chili dog, a bag of large fries and drinks. Total bill was $42.39; the original dog and large fries were $5.99 each, the chilli dog was $6.99, and a regular-size drink was $4.99. (You can get three hamburgers at McDonalds;s for the price of a regular drink at Nathan's Famous.) As we ate, I wondered what the big deal was about Nathan's Famous. "Hot dog is hot dog," I kept thinking. This was no exception. Wife said that hers tasted like her own homemade ones. Mine tasted no different from the ones I got every month at my home church. They tasted good but nothing that was truly outstanding. The fries were the same. Thankfully, I had a heavy breakfast so didn't have to order much for lunch. Wait line to order was long (at least 10 minutes). Table seating was very limited at Riegelmann Boardwalk, but we found a bench towards the beach to sit and eat. I cannot comment on the parking since we came here by train. I expect it to be difficult and expensive since this is New York City. Unlike our tour guide, I'm not going to recommend for or against Nathan's Famous. You are welcome to try, but don't be surprised if they don't measure up.

The tofu pudding is amazing! It's smooth and velvety. You don't need to chew at all. Even if you…read moresmother it with syrup, you'll still taste the soy bean flavor.

Unfortunately a lot of the rolls we wanted to get like beef brisket and curry fish balls ran out, also too is the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. We ended up settling for roast pork rice roll, and a beef version, and lastly fish ball version. They make it from scratch which is nice to see while the ingredients are chopped up to small pieces. I do wish they put more ingredients in but for the price they charge (average of $2.75 per roll), no complaints there. There is one small table outside to eat in but no indoor seating or bathroom. I would give 3 atront stars.

If it helps, I'm an ex-elite if that gets you to read this review :) It's a food stand that stood out to me as it is impeccably clean and clearly labeled. I asked what he would recommend and said anything so I opted for a mixed chicken and lamb over rice. It's a solid plate of food with big chunks of chicken, lamb in smaller chunks, but both in decent quantity. The rice was fine, but what stands out is the mixture of veggies; there's the typical side salad but it wasn't limp and sad. There were some tahini (?) coated red onions, pickles and regular onions. And weirdly; fries that were still pretty crispy. I asked for a lot of white sauce and he talked me into a few squirts of hot sauce (pretty spicy for me but I'm weak). Texturally, huge fan. Flavor, definitely there. Value: worth it for $9.99 He's been at this corner for 6 months so I hope you'll give him a try.

Service was good during weekday lunch since there weren't many people. The food is good but some of the prices are high. We enjoyed the mantis and the plov was delicious but a bit smaller than expected. The beshbarmak was tender meaty goodness on top of some wonton wrappers. The broth was so rich and good especially with the smooth wrappers essentially acting as noodles. The meat was too much for two people though so we took it home.

I walked out of Beer Island and right behind them on the boardwalk is Steve's Grill House, a large walk up counter with a huge selection of food (pizza, hot dogs, sausage, cheesesteaks, hamburgers, chicken, seafood, snacks, and so on). I wasn't expecting culinary greatness, just some cheap unhealthy beach grub. I ordered 2 corn on the cobs, a cheeseburger, and chicken fingers with french fries. There were no prices posted so I had no idea what it would cost, it came out to $17 which was fairly reasonable. The reason for my 1 star is very simple, this was the worst food I have ever eaten in my life. The chicken fingers were cold; the fries were barely warm and soggy; the burger was small, tough, and dry; and the corn was obviously just sitting in lukewarm water because it was tasteless and extremely soggy and inedible. To make matters much worse is when I first sat down with the corn I discovered an ant deeply wedged between two soggy kernels. I'm completely insulted that anyone would not only serve people that kind of previously frozen, overcooked, cold, and tasteless food but that they would have the nerve to charge for it. I'm not sure if there's any place on the boardwalk any better than this but learn from my mistake and stay away from this one.
