T & D Coney Grill

Excellent late breakfast! Get the gyro omelette, outstanding. Service was fast and food was hot. We’ll be back

The food was very good. I have only eaten breakfast off the menu, and have never had a problem. The service has always been friendly and the food has always been hot and fast to get to the table. Space seems to be limited and the tables are placed close together and makes it hard to get around.

We’ve been here twice now for breakfast and really like their food. Corn beef hash, biscuits and gravy, and the greek skillet are all very good. Toast was burnt but oh well. Weekend mornings are VERY crowded. Go early. It would help if they had a hostess but instead you seat yourself. We were waiting for the staff to move some chairs to accommodate our baby seat when a group of college girls ran in front, took the chairs and moved all of the tables. Rude. But that wasn’t the staff’s fault. Although, it would have been nice if they had stopped them. So, the food was great, again, but the service is slow when they’re busy. It took a very long time to get a coffee refill. We’ll just be sure to go earlier or during the week next time.

It’s a small diner, but we’ve always gotten good food and good service there. Avoid Sunday morning as they can be extremely busy.

Very large selection of food choices and generous portions. Friendly staff. We’ve always been waited on quickly. Food does take a little longer when they are packed. Weekends get very busy. I’ve noticed the waitresses work very hard taking care of customers and cleaning tables right way. Our food has always been hot and delicious. One of our favorite restaurants in town.

The food was very good but the service was terrible. It took 45 minutes for eggs and a burger. They said it was because the burger took longer. Seems like bs to me.
I give the food a 4 out of 5 but the service gets a 2. So average out a 3. They couldn’t handle a packed house and I might return if it was more empty. It looks like you need to sit at the counter to get good service.

When you are hungry… Needed to find a place for breakfast this morning, the coeds were all packing the usual spots in EL after the Spartan victory celebration over Michigan yesterday. Typical diner food, coffee was good, will go back again when in town.

Really good breakfasts. They have become a regular place for my wife and I. Omelets, pancakes, waffles, etc. Very reasonably priced. Courtney and Claire (sp?) always provide good service.

I have been here a few time because it is in my neighborhood & I’m an optimist. Went today after church with family & found enough things wrong that I cannot recommend this establishment.
Despite a warm morning, the restaurant’s air conditioning was not on (or not working) causing quite a discomforting atmosphere. While the food is good, the delivery of all the meals was spread out over 5 minutes or so. Toast was missing and syrup for the pancakes had to be requested. Coffee refills also had to be requested.
With such service, even the tasty Greek Omelette will keep me from returning anytime soon.

My husband and I went here for a late lunch on a Thursday. My experience is compared to Spartan Coney Island in Frandor.
Décor is by far better than that of Sparty in Frandor. Could stand to be maintained better.
Service was very friendly, but took a while to get things we needed.
Food was good. The fries were awesome! Cooked perfectly. I got the olive burger. It’s a frozen patty, but wasn’t horrible. I wish they put more of the olive mayo topping on it.
My husband got chili cheese fries and biscuit and gravy. The chili cheese fries were nothing spectacular. A LOT of chili and the cheese wiz was ok. The biscuit and gravy compared to Spartan Coney Island was by far better. It was nice and thick, had flavor to it, and nice chunks of sausage.
My kids got grilled cheese which was fine, and chicken fingers which were over cooked. Barely had any meat.
Over all it was a good experience and we will go back.

Friends invited us to breakfast here and I was skeptical after reading most of the reviews, considering how they varied. It’s a seat yourself kind of place. It was loud, so if you are hoping to have a quite breakfast, this isn’t for you.
I am pleased to say we all loved the food! The corn beef has omelet was the best. I liked the fact that there weren’t many potatoes in it and the Swiss cheese was gooey. They serve large portions and very quick. Hubby loved the country skillet. The waffles are huge and have a sweet taste.
About the only complaint I had was our waitress… she only appeared once to our table after we ordered, dropping off the food. I did try to get her attention to tell her about a problem, but he were in the far back of the restaurant and she just didn’t bother to come over. Had a problem with the hash browns but since she never returned, I just didn’t eat them. If you order coffee, someone is always around topping it off… but I had soda, so I did not get a refill. Next time I will just plan ahead and ask for 2 sodas! ;-)
I will say we do have plans on going back.

Something I’ve noticed on Unilocal!is that when an average place gets one or two stars, it’s almost always from someone out of state – and I mean FAR from Michigan. Just an observation.
This isn’t splashy dining. It’s a diner, in the old «Villegas» spot. Even has the same dining room furniture & décor. Villegas was expensive, high end dining (for the Lansing area anyway). This is the polar opposite.
It’s decent food – I’ve only had dinner here once, but I’ll go back again. I had the gyro platter and a cup of tomato Florentine soup. It was tasty and worth the price. My husband had the fish platter (i.e., fish & chips) – also decent, not superb, but good. We shared a piece of turtle cheesecake.
I think the soup and the cheesecake were from a vendor like GFS, but that’s ok – for me, it’s the taste that counts.
The waitress was very friendly and service was quick (it was later and only a few people at the restaurant).
I liked it. I’d like to try breakfast sometime.

I always love coney, so I was happy to give this a try while I was in town. This is actually for two visiits.
The first visit was for breakfast after a long Friday night out with friends. Not all of us were in good shape. I was though so i was happy to eat. The omlettes are large and stuffed with goodies. I walked away stuffed and happy. The others in our group gave similar reviews.
The second visit was for lunch. I never even opened the menu because our server informed us the special was two coney dogs and fries. It was cheap, I believe like six or seven dollars, not exactly sure. The coney sauce was good. The dogs were solid, and the fries were tasty. Overall a very good experience.

Pros:
It didn’t make me sick. I dined with my favorite person.
Cons:
Odd layout, television playing, no abiance, my girlfriend’s meal was messed up, awful, demented and lackluster french fries.
My J&D hash/​omlet was ok (it had spinach)! but just not a lot of love in the food.
I’m also pretty sure my girlfriend’s aftorementioned meal, a «veggie pita» arrived at the lady’s table next to us, where she remarked, «There’s no meat in this sandwich!» I’m pretty sure that then went into the kitchen and came right back based on the timing.
The veggie pita was simply a regular pita minus the meat. The only veggies were shredded iceberg lettuce and onions, not grilled veggies or anything wonderful. :(

We love TD’s! The owners are so nice to us and know us by name. We love the variety of foods, and the comfortable seating. The prices are a little bit high, but we find everything to be fresh and tasty so we go often. Breakfast served any time. Great sandwiches and salads. Fries are delicious! Please give this family-​owned business a try.
