This restaurant was designed and built in 1985 by David Gillie, with the help of a great many people- THANKS!

CONEY ISLANDS are well known in FLINT Michigan as a full service, full menu, family restaurant (quite often 24 hours). .............. why?

In the late 1800s' immigrants from Eastern Europe passing thru New York picked up on "sausages" sold in bread on Coney Island as a way to earn a living in the then booming Flint.

Coney Island got its name from the huge pine cones originally found there.

Flint Style Coneys' differ from Detroit style in that our hot dog topping is more meat and dryer (less sauce). Unlike the more common chili-dog found in the rest of the country.

FAST Food in a SIT DOWN restaurant!

Our food has evolved over the years. We now use 100% vegetable shortening to deep fry in and have added items like chicken and salads to the menu.

However the bulk of our customers still demand the ole meat, potatoes and fatty foods that SATISFY rather than just tease!

Coney Islands have used drive thrus long before the chain places and here at Gillie's we have taken that one step farther by putting TWO drive thrus in tandem run by a computer ordering system.
