The Coney I-Lander restaurants are a regional chain based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their signature dish is a small slow-grilled hot dog topped with chili, onions, and mustard, sitting in a steamed bun. The restaurants also serve small tamales, and spaghetti topped with the same chili used on the coneys. The name of the restaurant is derived from Coney Island, the early-1900s amusement park and vacation destination in New York City.
In 1926, a Greek immigrant opened Tulsa’s original "Coney Island." Building on this concept, in 1968 his son-in-law, Chuck Kingsley, had his own vision of a restaurant chain: to serve great coneys at a great price. Using simple ingredients and a passion for customer service, Chuck opened seven Coney I-Lander restaurants throughout Tulsa surrounding areas and established Coney I-Lander as a hometown favorite.
Chuck loved two things more than anything, people and coneys. To this day, those two things remain a priority. Made with grilled wieners in perfectly steamed buns, covered in Coney I-Lander’s chili (still a secret family recipe), mustard, onions, and cheese – one bite of these coneys, and you’ll be hooked.
