Coney Island: Still Holding Down Lunch Like It’s 1924

Since 1924, Oklahoma City’s incomparable, original Coney Island, 240 SW 25th St. in Capitol Hill, has given the city a filling lunch at a good price.

Think about it: sometime during the Roaring Twenties, you could go to Coney Island, feed a family of five for half-a-wheat-penny, and still have enough change for the moving pictureshow across the street at the Yale Theatre. 23 Skidoo!

As a matter of fact, back in the ‘50s, my late father said he always liked Coney Island and their wieners during his lunchbreak, back when he was a fresh-faced insurance salesman, running claims up and down the city.
