Coney Island

I chose Coney Island located in downtown Grand Island. The main reason why I chose Coney Island is because I love the old fashioned feel and the uniqueness of it. I visited Coney Island on July 10^th with my mom. It is a great place to visit especially if you like the 1930’s feel. Coney Island has also stayed with the same family, which is very cool since it opened in 1933!

   

     

When I think of a good place to eat I think of good food, obviously! Although, many other features are important when deciding a good place to eat, I think cleanliness is a very important feature, especially with utensils, plates, tables and floors. Overall, the restaurant should be sanitary for me. Good service and friendly workers, welcoming atmosphere outside, delicious food, reasonable prices and a comfortable environment are a must. 

Cleanliness

When we sat down, I noticed a lot of crumbs and French fries on the floor. Even though it was the after noon closer to closing time, I thought the floors and tables could have been cleaner. The utensils and cups all had watermarks on them that seemed unsanitary and didn’t make my visit comfortable. Overall I did not think Coney Island met the standards of being clean.

Outside Atmosphere

Downtown Grand Island is not the most exciting place to be. It can seem sketchy and uninviting. Coney island is located on a corner and is pretty small. Since it is staying old fashioned, the outside is not updated. Since I like the old feel to it, the outside appearance did not bother me.

Sorry for the car!

Food and Prices

When looking at the menu, most of the items are pretty cheap. I ordered the Coney Dog and fries while my mom ordered a hamburger. We also shared a shake which is a must try when visiting. The food at Coney Island is a bit on the greasy side, but it was okay for me to pig out a little bit. The shake was amazing and will surely order one every time I visit. Overall the food is average but very tasty!

   

Coney Island is a fun place to go for a little treat or for a meal.  Although it was a little unclean, I loved the feel of the restaurant. With the original menu on the wall to the old-fashioned register you will think you are back in time. They have pictures of the place many years ago and you can see that Coney Island has not changed much.  The workers are very friendly and you get your meal fast. Not only is the food inexpensive but it is also filling.  If you want to go to a place with a lot of history, visit Coney Island!
