Coney Island of Scranton – A Beloved NEPA Hot Dog Spot for Nearly a Century
Coney Island of Scranton has been a staple in downtown Scranton for over 90 years, serving generations of customers their famous Texas lunch. Known as one of NEPA’s favorite hot dog spots and one of the most affordable places to eat in Scranton, this longtime local institution is beloved for its no-frills, nostalgic vibe and quick, satisfying meals.
The menu centers around the legendary Texas Weiner—a grilled hot dog topped with Coney Island’s signature chili sauce, a recipe that’s been drawing regulars and newcomers alike for decades. While the dogs are the main attraction, the expanded menu offers something for everyone, including hamburgers, tuna salad sandwiches, chicken nuggets, and a variety of fries. Guests can customize their fries with toppings like cheese, gravy, Old Bay, Cajun, buffalo wing sauce or garlic truffle for a flavor-packed side.
