Those customers in turn decided they weren't going to be duped, and wanted no part of the bait and switch meat game and decided to move on, so Coney Island Joe's had to shut their doors. I'm still hoping that at least one of the original owners family members or friends steps forward, with the 'original' formula and decides to re-open and perhaps expand the restaurant.

I remember going there to eat as a young girl and teenager with my family, but sometime during the '80's (not exactly sure what happened as the closing came 'before' this recession) it shut down for good. I miss it because it was in a very 'unique' spot, with just the right amount of 'traffic' to draw customers. I'm hoping and praying that someone will re-open and expand the restaurant, because it is in a spot that 'can' draw an excellent customer base, and the nearest restaurant is many many blocks away. Mr. Kim, perhaps if you 'put out the word', someone will think about giving Coney Island Joe's another chance and reopen it for another go round? Thanks once again for such good memories.

the service here in knoxville, tennessee is pretty darn good too!
