Open Since 1923, Coney Island Café Has Been Serving Hot Dogs In Mississippi Longer Than Any Other Restaurant

Coney Island Café in Hattiesburg has been serving classic hot dogs and a variety of fast-food items since 1923.

A longtime favorite, Coney Island Café has been serving up mouthwatering hot dogs for nearly a century! And while the hot dogs haven’t changed over the years, the menu has grown to include other fast-food eats as well as daily specials. Take a look:

Coney Island Café is located on Main Street in Hattiesburg, which is where it’s been since opening back in 1923.

Just as the name implies, hot dogs are the eatery’s specialty.

The old-fashioned hot dogs are served with or without cheese. As far as toppings, you can’t go wrong with getting your hot dog “made all the way,” which means it comes topped with mustard, onion, chili, and pickles.

The perfectly prepared hot dogs aren’t the only thing on the café’s menu worthy of a thumbs up.

There are also burgers, sandwiches, open-faced sandwiches, po’ boys, and classic breakfast items.

And don’t forget about the hot plate lunches.

The lunch plates change daily, so each day brings a new tasty dish to the café — and a new tasty experience for you.

At a restaurant like Coney Island Café, the setting will leave you as satisfied as the fare. More of a time capsule than a café, the walls are adorned in historic photos.

And with a quaint and cozy interior, you’ll feel right at home, giving you plenty of time to soak up the unique surroundings.

So, are you ready to pull up a chair (or stool) at this historic cafe?

Coney Island Café is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call (601) 582-8513. You can also visit the Coney Island Café Facebook page.
