Veronica knows how to run a drive-through smoothly and efficiently. You can hear her smile through the intercom, and she makes you feel right at home. She is an asset to this company. I drove 30 minutes to this location today with hopes that she would be working. She never disappoints. Thank you, Veronica!

Really unpleasant ordering experience. She acted like she didnt even want to say hello but she forced it out. Very unfriendly. She acted like she either didnt want to be there or she didnt want me there. Order call out was baja..... i guess...... What does that mean? She guesses im allowed to have the $13 hot dog i just paid for? Seemed like it. Ive been coming to coney island most of my life, i love this place. Ive never had an experience like this. So....... i guess...... its pretty unlikely ill be returning here. On another note my $13 hot dog and tots were delicious, im gonna miss them.

Friend orders a chicken tender meal with fries, shake & 2 different sauces. Along with a large tater tot for me. They send out the chicken tender meal with my large tater tots combined in his meal. He goes back up to tell them of the error and to retrieve his shake & sauces. He gives him the shake and walks away. My friend calls him back to remind him of his missing sauces only to be told that theyre busy. The tots were refried to appear as though they were fresh. So hard & crunchy as if you were eating a chunky chip. Grease is old & disgusting, left a nasty taste in my mouth. Anytime youre exchanging $ for goods & services, lets make sure to deliver quality.

How can a person take a chile dog and make it so disgusting! I ordered a combo with two chili dogs and fries with a Coke. The chili dogs were so disgusting I only ate one bite. The chili is just beyond the word disgusting. So sad I love a good Coney dog. Take my word for it and stay away.

This is a great JCI location. I continue to get great friendly service. The only thing that bothers me, which doesnt reflect on the location is how skinny the frankfurters are compared to the ones you get literally anywhere else. They are shorter and skinnier. Hot dogs are already the cheap meat, sad to see them cut costs by reducing the size of the franks.

I observe the staff as I was waiting for my hot dogs and they are so thorough and communicate and work together so well. Love the decor and the Christmas music playing as well. My son and I sometimes come over here to the Game Preserve and next time were going to go to jci. Cant believe Ive never been before. Thank you again! Jci is doing it right

Prrson that took our order just a few minutes ago was rude and definitely unfriendly! After we ordered, at the pickup window, this same person NEVER said one word to us!! She must be very unhappy. We Won t be back! Also, we asked for an order of onion rings and all she said was no onion rings sad sad sad!! She should be fired or at least be made to work behind the scenes because she has no communication skills.

Rarely eat here but decided to give it a try again, I purchased the Hungry Mans deal, by far the worst hot dog I have ever had, would expect this at a gas station where they have been sitting out for days, the taste was awful the texture of the hot dog was rubbery would recommend going to your local grocery store and purchasing a package of there cheaper brand, surely they would be better and far less expensive, they charged me $14 for the meal took to bites and threw the deal away.......

This is an old school Houston original since 1923. Locals and insiders know. The hot dogs, chili and Frito Pie are legendary. Very good, fresh burgers and fries too. The Delaware Punch is still around but called Coney Punch now. The staff is well-trained, friendly and accommodating. JCI is a neighborhood and a family tradition with us. Tastes and feels like the real deal.

I would drive 100 miles just to eat their chili-cheese dogs lol it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I asked the guy to put the toppings on the side so I could get home with the food without them getting soggy and he did it for me perfectly. I live about 30 mins from the location. This particular location is awesome tho. The food is always high quality and the staff is super nice. Ill continue to go here for years to come. Also they had a special philly cheesesteak hot dog. Pretty much a philly cheesesteak sandwich in a fancy hit dog bun, with their cheese sauce on it. It is one of the best foods Ive ever eaten. And Im a bit of a foodie so take it for what its worth.

I ordered two James Street Coneys. I order with extra chili because there is never enough chili on the hot dogs. My order was delivered. I am pretty sure that they put extra cheese instead of the extra chili I asked for, which really messed up the food quality. Also, I ordered a diet Coke. They gave me diet Dr. Pepper. Lastly, there were no napkins to help me to handle all of this extra cheese. Please do better, JCI. I really like your food and dont want to have to stop ordering from you due to incorrect food preparation. Thanks.

Food limited but excellent. I had the Philly beefsteak and chocolate dipped cone. Husband had basic hot dog and a bowl of chili. Reasonable pricing. Except bottle water at $2.19 is robbery I wont recommend the chili. It was ok. My ice cream on the cone and chocolate dip both had very good flavor However the ice cream was a bit too soft for cone that day March 3 3023 Probably should have offered it in small cup or bowl with chocolate scooped on top. Maybe the ice cream maker had not been on long enough? Took 4 tries to get ice cream on the cone to dip it. Clean, organized. Active friendly staff. Clean restrooms, needs updated toilet for handicap stall
