Southern Coney and Breakfast is a neighborhood diner at 70 Pope Avenue, in the plaza off Pope Avenue on the south end of Hilton Head. It serves breakfast and lunch only, and the counter, red booths and open kitchen make it feel like a diner from somewhere farther north. The owners bring a Michigan diner streak to the menu, which is where the coney dogs come from.

What to Order at Southern Coney

Pancakes are the reason most people come, and reviewers call them fluffy and generous. The silver dollar size is a good pick if a full stack sounds like too much, and there are chocolate chip and banana versions. Omelets, homemade corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy and a key lime French toast fill out the breakfast side. From the lunch menu there are Koegel coney dogs with chili, mustard and onions, chicken salad, salads, pitas and sandwiches, and the pie case has key lime and Michigan cherry.
