From Our Family to Yours, The St. Clair Coney
Celebrating Foood, Family & Community since Dy One.
A Fresh Start for a Local Favorite
In 1969, St. Clair Coney Island opened its doors, serving classic comfort food to the community. Over the years, it became a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Families gathered here for breakfast, lunch, and good conversation. Generations grew up with our famous coney dogs, crispy fries, and homestyle meals. The heart of this diner has always been the people—our customers, our team, and the families that have kept the tradition alive.
A New Chapter Begins
On June 1, 2023, our family—Andy and Lisa Bennett, along with Andrew and Lindsey Bennett—became the new owners of St. Clair Coney Island. We were excited to continue its legacy. But just a few months later, in September, a powerful storm damaged the roof of the Riverview Plaza, leaving our restaurant in bad shape. We had no choice but to close and start rebuilding.
Rebuilding with a Purpose
We saw the storm as a chance to do more than just repair the damage. We wanted to give St. Clair Coney Island a fresh start. So, we remodeled the entire space, updating everything while keeping the same welcoming feel. After months of hard work, we reopened on November 28, 2023, ready to serve the community once again.
A Community Tradition Lives On
Our family is honored to carry on the history of this restaurant, and we’re excited to welcome you in. Whether you’ve been coming here for years or you’re visiting for the first time, we invite you to stop by, say hello, and enjoy a meal with us. St. Clair Coney Island isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to connect, share stories, and be part of something special.
