Then, our Pitmasters hand-apply our fresh dry rubs before slow-smoking them in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. To lock in that deep-down smokiness, each tender cut is finished on the grill, creating our famous char-grilled sweetness on the outside. Our tender, juicy ribs and chicken are amazing straight from the grill or topped with one of our award-winning sauces. It's the best darn BBQ you'll taste in Chicago!

Dave's passion for ribs began as a young boy in Chicago. His father would bring home the best-tasting ribs, slow-smoked by street vendors using 55-gallon drums. They were legendary ribs smoked just like the champion Pitmasters did way down in the Deep South. And thus, his story begins.

"If you want to go somewhere with good food and a staff that makes you feel truly special, this is the place! Yes, it's a chain, but everything we ordered was fun, fresh, abundant, and delish! Our server, Samantha, was helpful and anticipated our every need. The manager visited our table and welcomed us sincerely. Lots of perks for first-timers! The one-person sample platter was huge... brisket, chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, slaw, fries, and a corn muffin. All sooooo yummy. Go and have a good time!"

Since 1966, Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken has been cooking up legendary flavor. Our famous recipe chicken is never frozen. It's hand-breaded, honey-dipped and pressure-cooked to make it the best tasting chicken around. And we do it all at prices that are as famous our food.The Muskegon, Michigan locations have been owned and operated by Rick Puthoff since 1975. Mr. Puthoff and his restaurants have won numerous awards over the years for their outstanding service and great food.

Opening on Main Street in 1914, Coney Island has taken on a life of its own. It is one of many Fort Wayne eateries established by Macedonians and maintained by their descendents. Russ Choka took the helm from his Father-in-Law in the 1950's and was a driving force and regular face for decades. Today, Jimmy Todoran (who started for Russ in 1986 at just 15) and Kathy Choka (daughter of Russ) take on the role of caretakers; corporate titles would never work in this working class hot dog joint with all walks of life.

Our menu has changed very little over the last one hundred years. We keep it simple and our customers keep coming back for more. Each day, we sell an average of two thousand hot dogs, and hand-chop over 70 pounds of onions. From our famous Coney Dogs to chili and hamburgers, take a look at our menu!

Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island Wiener Stand celebrated 100 years on Main Street in 2014. Fort Wayne's oldest operating restaurant, located at 131 W. Main Street is a magical blend of memories, family traditions, and the one-of-a-kind Coney Dog! The fun, warm atmosphere has been bringing over 100 years worth of smiles to "Coney Island Kids" of all ages. The Coney Island "family" want to thank all of our wonderful customers for making Coney Island such a beloved Fort Wayne institution for 100 years and counting!
