Cloos' Coney Island   

I first went to CCIHD 20 years ago, the first week it was open. There was a 2 year period when I worked in the Videomax (now Lackluster Video) across the way and ate at CCIHD almost every day for lunch (unless my fraternity brother was tending bar at Rock-o-la and could get me my beers for free). I'll be headed there for lunch today with some co-workers (a long drive from RTP, but one we do at least 2x a year) and we've all been talking about it for weeks. As a preview, I took my family yesterday for dinner. As we left, walking on air with heavy stomachs, my wife and I commented how it was the best food we had in college (yes, she was with me that first visit) and it was still one of the best meals we could have today. Second Empire is great for a celebration, but to feed our souls, there's nothing like Cloos's food. Whether it is his chicken sandwich for my wife, the Philly cheesesteak, the franks, the burgers, the sliders, the fries, or the fact that you can wash it down with a cherrry soda, it doesn't matter. Every meal is a piece of heaven.

He is very smart Doctor, Know everything, and saved my life!

Cloos is an outstanding spot for lunch or dinner. The staff is so pleasant and they fix the food to please. It is all cooked fresh so you will have to wait for it to cook. The hotdogs are outstanding --you can get it with or without skin. Dan, the owner, makes the slaw and Greek and Cucumber dressing. He marinates the chicken in his special blend. the ice is shaved and it is a fabulous old time friendly dining experience. You'll want to come back and try each item on the varied menu--Greek salads, sliders, Philly cheese steak sandwiches, pitas, wraps, reubens, and great chili cheese fries! It's worth the wait and worth a trip there.

Disgusting place. You should avoid this place at all costs. There are many good places to eat in Mission Valley. This isn't one of them.
