Their signature dish is a small slow-grilled hot dog topped with chili, onions, and mustard, sitting in a steamed bun.

The name of the restaurant is derived from Coney Island, the early-1900s amusement park and vacation destination in New York City.

The chain dates to 1926, when Greek immigrant Christ Economou opened his first location in downtown Tulsa.
