Uptown Coney Island

The Hungry Road

(Last visited 12/10/2024.) Mom's having surgery up the street at Trinity Health so I need to calm my nerves to take my mind off of things. I needed breakfast since these procedures tend to start so early in the morning. The choices were slim and it was either a McDonald's or a coney. A Coney will win every time so here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right off the main drag in Chelsea is this gem. It's right next to a McDonald's, but this place was pretty busy and I was very happy to see that. There is a private parking lot where you can put your fly ride and even spaces around the back. There's also outdoor seating for the couple of months where there's nice weather here in Michigan. Inside is your typical diner and exactly what I expected. Service: The server never gave me her name, but it's all good. She was patient with me, gave me good recommendations and made sure I had everything that I needed. When you're done eating you do have to get up and go pay on your own at the front. Food: For breakfast I went with the Greek Scrambler. It consists of gyro meat, feta cheese, mushrooms and scrambled eggs. I added green onions for a bit more crunch. On the side I upgraded my toast to the Cinnamon Swirl Toasts. Everything was pretty good, but I did find myself adding a bit of salt and pepper to the scramble. However the Cinnamon Swirl Toast was excellent. Perfect as is. Value: This diner felt pricy, but maybe it was just me. My tall glass of orange juice was $3.79. That's basically the price of a whole container... but no matter. The Greek Scrambler started off at $12.99, but to add a topping of ANY KIND, it's $1.49 so that was for the green peppers. To upgrade to the Cinnamon Swirl Toast was another $1.99. So when it's all said and done, I came out $21.47. Seems steep for a diner breakfast, but aye, this place was packed so people must swear by it! I... guess I could too. I did like my food and a few of my friends actually said they like it there too and that they've never had a bad meal there. That says a lot! Check this place out if you're in the area.

First time visiting this Coney Island. I ordered a loose hamburger with mustard (no cheese). My husband ordered a fish sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The food was prepared as specified. The meat was a tad salty. I was only able to eat a few bites. On the other hand, my husband stated his food tasted fine without any issues. The customer service was pleasant. This was a quick stop on our road trip. I look forward to trying a salad next time.

Good for a quick meal stop. Tried the uptown chicken sandwich with chili fries, pancake kids meal and hamburger kids meal. Food was good. Service was very excellent and friendly and fast for a busy restaurant.

Fantastic food and great service. The menu is quite large and has a good variety of options to choose from. Portions are very generous and the prices are reasonable.
