The board

There is one menu here and it is screwed to the wall above the counter. This is it, transcribed line for line.

A coney dog with mustard and chopped onion beside a plate of chili cheese fries.

How to order

You say the number first. Two coneys is “two.” Heavy chili, light onion, no onion — say it in the same breath. Somebody will repeat it down the line and it will arrive before you have decided where to sit.

It is counter service, it is quick, and it is not quiet.
