Don't let the neighborhood or surroundings detour you. This is a little old place, been here forever. It seems. But there's a reason they're still open. It's a place for the common man to come and get an affordable meal. The menu basically consist of chili, Coney and spaghetti. Plain and simple. Those girls can throw a hotdog together and under two seconds. We fed four people drinks and dogs for under $18. I don't know where else you can do that.
I've never reviewed this place but, I used to come here as a kid often. Have been back over the years as often as I can. What's not to like about this place? They make a great coney for super cheap. I love it!
I've eaten at the No 2 for 30 years; 2 coneys all the way and a Dr Pepper. The couple behind the counter are always friendly. It is good to see them. I need to go there again. The Sooner memorabilia is always interesting. Parking was never a problem.
Since I was 4 years old, I've enjoyed these small hot dogs called Coneys in this location in Capitol Hill.. It started as Bob and Mary's Coney Island way back in the 50s. My parents would either dine at the one downtown or at this location with was a half block east back then. For me, not only are these Coney Dogs absolutely the best I have ever eaten. They are reasonable. They use Schwan's Meats and Chili. This has been the tradition of Coney Islands since their inception. Every time I eat here or downtown or at the one in Downtown Tulsa. It brings me back to my childhood and the wonderful flavor of these simple yet incredibly good little Coney Dogs. They also have other items on their menu. Chili, spaghetti, and other related items. I think you'll love this place as I do. I highly recommend this place. It's clean, it's fresh now. Not out of a plastic tray ready but in a steaming hot hot bath with hot buns. Good chili, cheese, and onions fresh ingredients. Start your own family tradition. This is absolutely the best. No frills, no guesswork. Inexpensive restaurant.
When I was a teenager -(Don, using Carol's account)- I would go to the downtown movie theaters like The State, Midwest, Criterion and etc. A bit south of The State theater, or maybe just south of The Midwest, was the Coney Island. Painted on the steamed up windows was their motto - "Buy 'em by the sack". They served beer, so I was forbidden to go there by my parents. I could not wait to get old enough to go to The Coney Island! Now decades have passed and many dozens, if not hundreds of coney dogs have been consumed. I learned that the place was opened about 1924 by Greek immigrants. Presumably descendants of the same family still have a hand in it. As to the food, don't expect more than what it is - a place for hot dogs, chili, frito chili pies and greek spaghetti with chili. It is brick chili, not canned, but is still most suited for coneys, not in a bowl or even over pasta. One of the managers at the Capitol Hill location can lay six or seven buns along his hand and forearm and dress the coneys as if on a production line. I can no longer eat more than 3 at a time, but recall dining with guys who would easily eat 10 or 12 on a bet! In any case, the coney dogs are exactly as such things should be eaten and are very tasty indeed. While no longer priced at $1.10, as in the betting days, they are quite reasonable at below $3. Support a piece of OKC restaurant history and "Buy 'em by the sack"! Or join in some competitive eating at the downtown location.
