Coney I-Lander

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, in a steamed bun. The restaurants also serve small tamales, and spaghetti topped with the same chili used on the coneys. The restaurants name is derived from Coney Island, the early-1900s amusement park and vacation destination in New York City.

History

In 1926, a Greek immigrant opened Tulsa’s original "Coney Island." Building on this concept, in 1968 his son-in-law, Chuck Kingsley, opened seven Coney I-Lander restaurants throughout Tulsa surrounding areas and established Coney I-Lander as a hometown favorite.
