🦖🏆 THE HERD DID THIS—NOW LET’S DO IT AGAIN! 🏆🦖

Rex’s Coney Island is officially listed as a 2026 BEST OF MICHIGAN REGIONAL WINNER in the American Cuisine Restaurants category!

This recognition means so much because it came from YOU—our customers, our community and the incredible Herd that continues to believe in this little dinosaur-themed restaurant from Houghton Lake. 💚

We have worked our tails off, climbed mountains and continued creating food and experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Seeing the name Rex’s Coney Island standing among some of Michigan’s best restaurants proves that hard work, heart and community support truly matter!

🇵🇱🦖 TODAY IS THE BIG DAY—IT’S A POLISH TAKEOVER AT REX’S! 🦖🇵🇱

Rex's Coney Island
3900 W Houghton Lake Dr
Houghton Lake MI
989-202-2117

Starting at 11:00 a.m., the herd is serving up ALL of our Polish favorites:

🥟 Loaded Pierogies
🥬 Cabbage Roll Platter
🌭 Dearborn Kielbasa Platter
🦖 The Herd Platter—a sampler with a little bit of everything!

Every platter comes with bread and your choice of a side salad OR our homemade Polish Pickle Soup! 🥒🥣

These specials run from 11:00 a.m. until close—or until we sell out! Last week, the cabbage rolls disappeared FAST, so don’t wait until dinner and expect them to still be here. Get in early and claim yours!

Come hungry, bring the herd, and let Rex’s fill you up Polish style! 🇵🇱❤️

🔥🌶️ SOLD OUT! YOU TOOK DOWN THE ROADHOUSE DOG! 🌶️🔥

Apparently the Herd has a whole lot more spicy people than we thought! Thank you to everyone who came in and took on this monster—we will absolutely be doing it again!

The Roadhouse Dog is personally the Queen’s favorite, so consider yourselves lucky I shared it instead of keeping every last one for myself! 😂👑🦖

Rex’s doesn’t rely on a local newspaper title to tell us who we are. YOU voted for us. YOU helped us earn regional and statewide recognition. YOU put Rex’s among Michigan’s Best—and we continue working our tails off every day to prove that recognition was earned.

And just so you know, 2027 voting is officially open—and you can cast your vote for Rex’s EVERY DAY! Show us the love, support and respect this little restaurant has worked so incredibly hard to earn. Every single vote matters!

We aren’t here to serve the same old specials everyone else does. We create bold, over-the-top food you simply won’t find at every other Coney Island—and today’s sellout proves that the Herd is hungry for it!

Keep following our page and pay attention to those specials, because the Queen and her crew have some AMAZING things coming! 👀🔥

We climbed mountains to get here—and we’re still climbing.

🦖 FOLLOW THE HERD.
👑 EAT LIKE A DINOSAUR.
💚 BEST OF THE BEST—BECAUSE OF YOU.

🚨 STOP SCROLLING—THE QUEEN OF THE HERD DEMANDS AN ANSWER! 👑🦖

One Roadhouse Dog buried beneath our super-spicy Texas chili—made with steak, ground round, beans and plenty of fiery peppers! 🔥🌭

Be honest…what’s your answer?

👍 LIKE = I CAN TAKE IT DOWN!
😮 WOW = NO WAY—I’M TAPPING OUT!

No excuses and no sneaking past this post without choosing! Who around Houghton Lake truly has the guts to face the Queen’s creation? 👀🔥

Think you know someone brave enough? Call them out in the comments!
