"I stopped in for lunch after being referred by word-of-mouth, and was extremely surprised how welcoming the employees were, creating great conversation, and most importantly, making some very good food. I understand why this business has been around for so long, and it will continue for so many years! Definitely will be returning!"

"I’m from indianapolis.. the server was a lil pissy but I understand she was the only one who was there and it was hot in there(no A/c) I had a koney grilled Polish sausage and a koney cheese dog and chili cheese fries.. the food was very good.. they should use shredded cheese instead of cheese slices.. price was very affordable to me! Wish they had a beef dog option that would’ve been dope but overall 9/10"

"Always quick and friendly service. I remember going there as a kid 30 years ago and the koney dogs still have the same great taste from back then. I know some people won't go because it's in Gary, but it's right off Broadway and I've never seen anything to make this white boy feel unsafe. It's always a pleasant and tasty experience."

"First off, the beautiful young lady who took my order and prepared it was courteous and efficient. She prepared my order of 4 dogs. 2 chili cheese w/ no onion & 2 only ketchup for the kids. Dog itself is nothing special. Tastes like a DQ dog. The chili though I thought had just the right amount of kick to it. Loved the flavor. Don't let the looks of this place from the outside fool ya. It's got nostalgic vibes & tastes like good, old-school, homemade diner food. I will be back a lot sooner than the 20 years I last had a here. #dandoingdanthings"
