Rileys Coney House

“ Really good service and I enjoyed my bison wagyu boar burger. Mine was the most expensive burger on the menu at $17.99 - I basically got it because I was intrigued by the idea of combining those meats. It was really good but I probably could've gotten a normal burger for like $13-$14 and it would've been similar. The fries were also delicious ”

“ The Shepards pie burger was amazing, with a side of pasta salad! They also serve beer & wine. Cute lil beach place ”

“ I was actually thumbing thru local menus and came across this joint and said "ooooh!" Why? They have whole belly Ipswich clams! In Daytona Beach, in a hotdog joint! I continued perusing and saw they had all sorts of interesting stuff...the sky's the limit for it being a weenie joint. So my dear Mainer Queen Bee opted in for the half pound basket of clams, which includes slaw and fries. I myself love whole bellies, but I don't wanna get the same thing. So what did I get? 10 oz. charburger. I opted for slaw as my side; I've eaten enough fries for awhile. Who ever serves a 10 oz. burger anymore? I asked for it cooked medium by the patient and helpful Brian, who seems to wear more than one hat around here. He takes orders, runs the register, and seemingly does anything and everything for who appears to be the lady owner of this spot. So the clams were absolutely fantastic! Nice, briny and just the right amount of crisp. Good ratio of cornmeal to flour to clam also; fries are fries. Meh: standard straight cut from off the Sysco truck. Slaw was pretty decent, but I do expect it came outta the ol' Sysco catalogue too. Onto the burger: it was cooked a lil to the rare side of medium, but acceptable. I say this because that bugger was well over an inch thick! It coulda used a lil seasoning, TBH. I just added a good dose of black pepper and a tiny shake of salt; voila. Just for idle curiosity, I also got a chili dog (aka Coney) to go. There's a choice between Flint or Detroit style chili. I chose the Flint because it appealed to me just a bit more; Brian also recommended it. Flint is drier and meatier, with a heavy dose of cumin as many chili recipes have. It's also made with heart meat rather than Detroit style which is a bit saucier and the sweeter aftertaste of nutmeg....a nice tribute to all the Greeks who started this kinda business over 100 years ago in the Motor City. It's a Michigan brand of dog (Koegel) so of course it isn't as flavorful as a NYC dog, but it was a decent quality dog in a nice soft (steamed?) bun. As we finished up, the owner came by and told us all about how she and her husband got into the restaurant biz, and really made us feel welcome there. They've been in this location for just over a year (2 more across the river in Port Orange before that), and I can do no less than thank her and her team for providing a decent meal and pretty damn fine value! I truly wish these folks nothing but the best of luck. They're also venturing into a food truck in the near future to get their brand out and about. So keep a good lookout in the next few months at all the local festivals. There may be a Riley's on the Road coming to a happening or shindig near you! They really seem like they're in their happy place with this business! It's very laid back and mellow in there, with a homey fast food kinda feel, but definitely no kings, castles, clowns or potentates to gum it all up. Their early bird specials are fantastic too, and each day provides its own group of specials beyond even THAT! Finally, they offer a 15% discount to all active duty and military veterans for everything but specials. So whenever you're looking for a quick, simple down home meal for lunch or dinner, go no further than here. They have so much variety and so many specials. It'll take you a long while to go thru everything on the menu and not encounter the same thing twice. ”

“ Riley's is the best place for coney islands. Detroit style or Flint Michigan style coney islands! We stopped there on our annual trip to Daytona Bike Week and are never disappointed. Owner came out to talk to us and we had a great conversation! We left with full tummies and a t-shirt! ”

“ Great menu with delicious food! Large portions , cooked to order, and reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and attentive! We will absolutely be back. ”

“ If you are ever in Daytona, check out Riley's Coney House for a really good Southern Dog. The Coney menu has several varities including a Carolina Dog with mustard, chili, onions, and saw. Choice of chili - one from Flint Michigan (shipped on dry ice), and a Detroit style from Sysco Foods. Dogs are also from Michigan - a flavorful, all beef, hot dog. Bun was not toasted. This is the best dog I have had outside NC. They also have great, 10 oz burgers with all the trimmings, and a great variety of sandwiches. The fries are very good. Hot and crispy the way fries should be. They also serve beer and soft drinks. Service is excellent. Friendly staff. Has a half-dozen TV's for a Sunday football gane. Riley's has only been open four months, but has the feel of a place that's been there forever. We recommend Riley's if you are in Daytona Beach. ”

“ I was in the mood for my cheap guilty pleasure today and that led me to this second establishment. I paid six dollars for this hotdog. This business has two different types of chili. The one that I got was Michigan style. Where the chili lacked in a bit of flavor, the hotdog itself totally made up for it. It was a skinny hotdog, but it had a wonderful snap when you bit into it so it gave a different texture as a whole. The hotdog was very good better than the other that I had today. It also looked more like the "messy" chili dog that I prefer. The service was great. The restaurant from what I saw look very nice they do have a sit down option as well. Overall I would 100% return and get another hotdog because it was delicious. ”

“ First the customer service was excellent! Our waitress was very nice and friendly. We had chili cheese fries with the dry chili. They were very good. The chili has great flavor. The burger had a great taste, it was fresh meat and cooked to perfection. We also had the chicken Philly and the chicken was fresh and cooked well but lacked in flavor, the chicken needs to be marinated or seasoned. We had a side of Rasta sauce and it was very flavorful! The restaurant has a mom and pop feel to it. It was quite and had great views. If you're in the area definitely stop by and give them a try!

“ Riley's Coney House offers a decent enough hot dog and if you are a fan of Michigan-style hit dogs, Riley's Coney House is a decent enough stop. The staff could be a bit more efficient, but they do a decent enough job. The inside of the establishment is pretty much nothing fancy, but there is really nothing too fancy about a hot dog. To say that there is nothing fancy about a hot dog is by no means a dig. In fact, a hot dog can be truly a wondrous culinary thing. I love a quality hot dog. Riley's Coney House is a decent enough stop to head towards if you are in the area and craving a hot dog or two (or maybe even three). I will say that it seems to be pretty popular with the locals in the community. Overall, I will give Riley's Coney House an overall rating of four stars. ”
