JCI-James Coney Island (Webster)

Hotdogs were rubbery! Sign of overcooking/boiling them! I always remembered this to be delicious and and I’m ole school from James Coney in Downtown Houston off Walker! The Chili isn’t the same taste either! Onion rings were overcooked so burnt tasting! I was sad that the Original James Coney Island Hotdogs I grew up with from the original is not Original anymore! The quality has been replaced with the what seems to be budget cuts! Hotdogs are very skinny and do not look like the ones you can get from the store! I once had the one on Bay Area cater my son’s 3rd Birthday and they were still good then, now they moved to NASA Parkway and through the years have now changed the meat and chili sauce! Very unhappy!

Who doesn't love James Coney Island Chili Cheese Hot Dogs?! They are the best ever made in the whole world!
Then if that wasn't enough, they make the best chili cheese fries!
OMG, such yum!
My family love's JCI.
They all shut down around us. This location is the closest now or we'd eat there way more.
If you don't know about JCI chili cheese dogs and fries please get there and enjoy this earthly treasure.
Please don't miss your opportunity.
I'd imagine in the after life there would absolutely be JCI dogs and fries but I can't guarantee that. I'd bet on it but I think you should go ahead and not skip your chance at this heavenly gift on earth and taste that sweet sweet JCI.
I also suggest getting a root beer to wash it down but any fountain drink will do. You can even get their lemonade. Any drink combo works well. You cant go wrong.
But please stick to the chili cheese coneys, dont go getting a burger or some plane dog.
This is specifically a call to get the chili cheese coney!

I purchased a coney meal and a small frito pie in the drive thru today 11/3/25. I didn’t try the frito pie until 6:20 or so this evening. The beans in the chili were hard, literally crunchy. I live in Galveston so bringing it back wasn’t an option.

Food is not fresh. Nothing like the original James Coney on Walker with fresh soft buns!!! I told the girl at the counter that I wanted cheese on everything & no onions. I repeated it twice. I got no cheese & manager argue with me & said I was not charge, that I would need to pay if I wanted cheese. I was with a large group & did not have the receipt. Rude jerk of a manager. Will never go back!

The Chicago and the Empire! Omg! The bread on the Empire is fantastic! Place is always clean and the staff if friendly. We always eat here when we leave the island.

Great food and it was comfortable in the place. It's in a weird kind of hidden location. So I forget that it's there but I'm glad I came. Had the foot long chili cheese coney and a drink.

Well its certainly NOT coney island, but hey New York is a long ways away. I found the food to be ok, typical hotdogs and American food. Would I go back? Probably not. Not because it was bad, just because it wasnt anything special. I had hoped there was some closer ties to a coney island dog and some more authentic cooking. This feels too much like a chain restaurant.

My wife and I had a hankering for a hot dog so we came to JCI in Webster.

Awful Restaurant! Parking is not accommodating. Restaurant is dark and dirty.

Awful Service! Emilia was rude and impatient. We got our food to go, Emilia rolled her eyes.

When we received our order, the people in the back looked confused as we were handed our food.

We got home and realized the fries were stale with cold cheese on the them. The onion rings were cold and stale as well. They grouped my wife's and I order in 1 box so, quote on quote from the manager, they could be the most cost efficient. Because of this debauchery my wife was unable to consume her plain coney because of the chili dog it was next to because of her allergy. I ate it for her while she cried. The chili dog lacked flavor and was cold as well.

We will not be coming back. I don't recommend this location.

Nostalgia always plays a part whenever I go here. Still good, but not the same as it used to be. Mostly because of the buns, just not as soft

James Coney Island is for me, nostalgia. My family always went to the Walker Street location in Houston and watch them make these hot dog master pieces. The Webster location is our favorite now. It is quiet, clean, and the people are efficient. We stop in mid day on a work day about once a month just to relax a little and eat our lunch. Sometimes we have to get it to go. It always tastes good. Over the years, JCI shows up at business events to serve their food. Their people are all so nice and welcoming. No plate of cold, dry chicken, or big salad for me. JCI, your food is great!

I was really disappointed with my recent meal. The food arrived cold and undercooked, which was not only unappetizing but also concerning. It definitely did not meet the standard of quality and flavor I’ve come to expect from Texas-style cuisine. I hope this was just an off day, but improvements are definitely needed.
