I went back here after many years. I found it not the same. Burger was dried out. I guess you really can't go back.

What a cool local place! Great Coney dogs, fries & onion rings. Staff was pleasant & efficient, despite what some other reviewers have said. We ate on the diner side (limited seating), not the bar side. Food came out fast & hot. Great prices and free drink refills. Nothing fancy, but it was perfect for us. We will definitely stop by again when we're in the Pottsville area.

Burgers were precooked, sitting under warmers, and dried out. They started filling our order, and left the partially filled tray on the counter where everyone orders, so people were talking over our food. The employees were miserable, arguing, and swearing. It was quite the experience.

We went there after our grandkids soccer game. The food was very good and the prices were great. The pizza had plenty of cheese and great red sauce. We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children, and our bill was around $45.00. We will be back!

I was in the area (23 August 2024) for the annual Carlisle Corvette Weekend and decided to visit Yuengling Brewery and saw Coney Island as a good lunch option. I stopped in the The Coney Island Resturant first, and the glares and unfriendly attitudes of the young female workers almost scared me out of the restaurant. I walked in, hardly no one in the resuturant or in line to order, they glared, never spoke causing me to say, "Hi Everyone - which caused the greeter to say, what do you need and I responded that is not very Welcoming???" I have never seen such unhappy young workers. As a 32 Year Military Retiree Veteran, I have traveled the states and World, and have never seen such rage and unhappiness regardless of what part of the country I visit. They were Beyond welcoming and looked like, how dare you come in and bother us. Whomever owns this place needs to start with a "Lets Talk About What is Bothering You" with no repucussions. Therefore, I asked if I could have a water and beer, and they directed me to the bar that was part of the restaurant. This is where things got much better and friendlier. The bartender, whose name on the receipt is Guy, was super, as were the four locals eating at the bar. I ordered a cheeseburger and a coney dog. I could not eat the cheeseburger (one bite and yuk) as it had a spoiled taste, but I ate the first Coney Dog, then ordered another, and they tasted good. I stayed about 30 minutes, left, and attempted to headed to the Yingling Brewery Tour. I never left the restaurant before I had to dive into the bathroom as my stomach imploded; 30+ years in the military eating whatever they serve, this resturant did my stomach in. I must have been in there 20 minutes and this stomach issue continued thank God it gave me a break during the Yengling tour but came back immediately after the tour and off/on during my drive back to Carlisle Barracks, PA. My gut told me to "just leave" when I saw the unhappy workers and how they greet customers, of course, unless they know you are you are a regular. I will not visit this resturant again as I never felt sicker. v/r, Dr. K. King

Food is ok. My issue is that I was charged $5, I'm assuming a tip, that I didn't authorize. My total was under $20, so that's more than a 25% tip, to hand me a tray. No available table to sit at, only the counter with uncomfortable old stools, where you would face the workers. One table for 4 was occupied by I'm assuming a worker on their break. We were told we could sit outside, in the rain. Also, I didn't see a sign to warn us about the charge for using our debit card, another 75 cents fee, plus a rounding up fee. Whatever that is...so altogether, I was charged $5.77 more than just our food. Not ever going back. FYI, I'm not against tipping, in fact I tip very well, if it's not for just handing me a tray. I don't tip at Mc'Donald's either. Adding your own tip is stealing at best, possibly credit card fraud. This is not about $5, it's the principle...

SCAMMERS! They add a “rounding” charge to your bill to round to the nearest nickel. That wouldn’t be too bad BUT you also pay the rounding fee when you pay credit then you ALSO GET CHARGED CREDIT CARD FEE! Why am I paying to “round up” when I am not using cash??? Once they add the credit card fee it’s not round anyway!!!!
