Texas Wieners Since 1923?! Inside Coney Island of Scranton PA

Step back in time with us at Coney Island of Scranton, a legendary spot serving up Texas wieners and chili burgers since 1923! This place is a full-blown time capsule — from the high wooden booths that feel like old church pews to the RC Colas, vintage caricatures, and mint tins at the exit.

The entrance alone is wild — a basement-style door tucked into a sloped building. Inside, it’s like you’ve time-traveled to the 1920s. The Texas wiener is the star here: a short, chubby hotdog sliced in half and stacked with spicy mustard, chopped onions, and Coney Island’s famous chili sauce on a bakery roll.

We also tried the Texas hamburger, which comes loaded with all the same toppings as the wiener — and it might be even better. On the side, we grabbed a basket of garlic truffle fries, just one of 11 unique fry options on the menu.

Before leaving, we signed their guest book and placed a pin on their world map — a tradition for visitors from all over the globe.
