If you haven't tried Coney Island Cafe, you are truly missing out! They always have the BEST hamburgers, chilidogs, and lunch specials in downtown Hattiesburg by far! (Also, none of the local restaurants can beat their easily affordable prices for such delicious meals!!!!)

This is certainly worth finding, if you're looking for a decent, not expensive meal downtown.
Only reason I gave it an overall 4 stars is, in this day and age, 99% of places take credit cards or checks.
This amazing place... does not. Understandable, due to how cards or checks can bounce, but I was unaware by going on what was on the photos on here.
There is a ATM nearby, about a block away, but just so ya'll out-of-towners comin' to our sweet town know, have cash on ya!

A hidden gem. When we walked in the manager David greeted us at the front door with a print of a painting of his restaurant by local artist Bobby Waters . David had seen me taking pics of his building and asked if I'd like to have one of the prints. He said Bobby was eating lunch there and would we like to meet him. Of course we said and David walked us back to the last booth where Bobby greeted us like old lost friends. For the next fifteen minutes or so Bobby told us his story of growing up in Hattiesburg and how he became a painter. David joined us and told us the history of the restaurant and the families who had owned it. To sum it up the food was really good by the company and fellowship is something from a lost time.
Do yourself a favor, go meet David and if you're lucky you might get to meet Bobby too.

Step through the doors and back in time. The food was just like you'd expect at a dinner made with love and tradition. The pancakes are huge and so so good. They will make your taste buds smile. Make sure you stop by when you're in town. A true hidden gem.

Old fashion Cafe. Over 100 years old. Homemade dishes. Burgers perfectly done. Fresh cut potatoes for fries. A must have is the all meat chili. Super friendly owner/cook and cute waitress. A must go cafe when in Hattiesburg.

I’m in my mid 40s I grew up downtown Hattiesburg are here a lot growing up.
Came here twice in the past 6 months To remember the good food
Experience one Food was ok Fry’s undercooked I didn’t get my gravy for my sandwich Told the lady She said cook would have to make some more Never got my gravy Never got my bill Lady was to busy talking to someone Waited 10 minutes so I just figured out about what i should owe and added a few dollars for a tip and left
Today Let’s try it again Food was ok again Got one napkin Ran out of drink Waitress finally came asked me what I needed Told her She brought me more napkins No drink So I finished my meal Still with no refill But I got my check this time
Went to the bathroom a little disappointed in this visit After seeing the bathroom it makes since
I guess after other owners died or retired Who ever took over doesn’t care Because this bathroom is horrible
You don’t have to be profitable To clean After really looking around the restaurant All floors are like that See mounds of dirt Etc Just laziness
Went in craving a great hotdog and burger. What a gem this turned out to be! The burger had chili that is made in a copper pot that original owner brought back from Patmos (where Revelation was written) over 100 years ago. The hot dog is brined and then deep fried. Everything was delicious. The manager was so helpful, informative and proud of Hattiesburg. Great experience that deserves visits!

If you have the opportunity to stop in and eat, do it. Nothing fancy, just good food at reasonable rates. Fries are made in house.

Lady was to busy talking to someone
Waited 10 minutes so

Food was ok again
Got one napkin
Ran out of drink
Waitress finally came asked me what I needed

She brought me more napkins
No drink
So I finished my meal
Still with no refill

To clean

All floors are like that

Etc
Just laziness
I hope whoever the owner is reads this
This is my honesty
Sorry bud or mam
