Coney Island West
If you're cruising through Avalon and craving something casual yet satisfying, Coney Island West on 205 Crescent Ave might just hit the spot. This laid-back eatery blends nostalgic American comfort food with a beach-town vibe that’s perfect for families, friend groups, or anyone who loves to eat outdoors.
The place has this old-school charm, and once you walk up, you’ll catch the scent of crispy goodness in the air. One of the top crowd-pleasers? Definitely the Fish and Chips—golden, flaky, and served hot. But if you’re more of a meat-and-cheese fan, don’t sleep on their Amazing Double Cheese Burger. It’s juicy, melty, and seriously lives up to its name.
Hot dogs are kind of their thing too, and they've got a few variations worth trying. The Chili Cheese Dog comes loaded with flavorful toppings, while the classic Corn Dog takes you straight back to summer fair memories. And yes, they do a solid regular Hot Dog too if you like to keep it simple.
Coney Island West gives off a friendly, casual vibe. You’ll hear a light buzz of chatter around—nothing overwhelming. It’s a great spot to bring the kids, meet up with a few friends, or just chill solo and watch the world go by from the outdoor tables.
Service is quick, prices are fair, and the portions are made for folks who come hungry. Whether you’re dropping by after a beach day or just in the mood for classic American eats, this place knows how to serve comfort with a smile.

There's something that always seems to hit about a classic hot dog if you want a break from all the seafood. I ordered the bacon hot dog and loved how grilled it was compared to a basic hot dog. The bacon was also the perfect touch, although I wish it was a bacon-wrapped hot dog versus just a single strip of bacon. The service was fast and there's a few benches to sit down and eat which was very convenient. If you're looking for a quick spot and a break from the seafood, I would recommend Coney Island West.
My family and I were visiting the island for a couple of days and we didn't want any sea food *for various reasons. We stopped by and ate some good decent fast food at this location. Prices are fair and the service is decent, no complaints. This location offers outdoor seating, which is nice on a summer day, winter, not so much. However, you have a lovely view at all times. * Coney Island West offers a vegetarian option, so LOVE!
Coney Island West offers solid fast food with some outdoor seating. I tried the fish & chips and clam & chips--both were crunchy and satisfying. Perfect for a quick bite if you're craving something fried and tasty. Great casual spot!
MOST AFFORDABLE RESTAURANT along the Avalon beach. Casual, fast-food style outdoor dining, with decent portions & simple menu. The fried fish & clams & burgers are all pretty good. Other places charge more for similar food items, about it same portions. We came here 3 out of 5 days... like l. Staff got us wrong order 1 time, but wanted to charge more give us the right item. Good enough service together your food in a reasonable time.
This is a great place for a quick bite to eat downtown Avalon. The fish and chips as well as the clam strips were fresh and hot and tasted great. The service was fast and friendly and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for being on an island 26 miles off the coast of the mainland.
