Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
A longtime favorite, Coney Island Café has been serving up mouthwatering hot dogs for nearly a century! And while the hot dogs haven’t changed over the years, the menu has grown to include other fast-food eats as well as daily specials. Take a look:
Coney Island Café is located on Main Street in Hattiesburg, which is where it’s been since opening back in 1923.
The old-fashioned hot dogs are served with or without cheese. As far as toppings, you can’t go wrong with getting your hot dog “made all the way,” which means it comes topped with mustard, onion, chili, and pickles.
At a restaurant like Coney Island Café, the setting will leave you as satisfied as the fare. More of a time capsule than a café, the walls are adorned in historic photos.
Coney Island Café is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call (601) 582-8513. You can also visit the Coney Island Café Facebook page.
