A new restaurant that specializes in offering Coney Island fare is open at 2116 W. 25th St., in the Holiday Plaza shopping center northwest of 25th and Iowa streets.

The Hut is Barry Rogers’ vision of what might be available for diners on New York’s Coney Island: chili and small, steamed hot dogs that are ready for dousing with hot sauce.

By also offering white-bread sandwiches – egg salad, ham salad, tuna salad – and an open-faced roast beef sandwich, complete with mashed potatoes and gravy, Rogers figures he has a recipe for success.

“You can get a little bit of everything for a real cheap price,” said Rogers, whose family used to run the Nelson’s Buffeteria in Tulsa, Okla.

The Hut is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
