What our guests are saying
This place didn't disappoint!! The memorabilia brought back memories, the owner couldn't be more pleasurable to talk to, and the food was amazing! Nice to know that I can drive a few miles to this very pleasant touch of home away from home!

I love going to Detriot Coney, it takes me back home to Detroit, MI. Their Coney dogs are outstanding and the menu has a wide range of food that is simply outstanding. Family-owned and run with much love. The restaurant is a place to eat and reminisce about Detroit (Motown) old. Tuesday is the day for me and my wife. I love to eat Coney Island Hotdogs with hot French Fries and a Fago Soda of my choice. Keep doing what you do and that is making good food!

Being from Detroit I was amazed at how authentic the coney's are. It was a special treat for my Florida family to enjoy real taste of home. The owner was fantastic and The atmosphere is like being in downtown Detroit. They will certainly be returning here often.

WHAT IS A CONEY DOG?
Many people think that the Coney dog, also called the Coney Island hot dog, got its start on Coney Island, NY where the hot dog was created. In actuality, this popular food got its start in Michigan, although the exact location is still disputed. Three locations in Michigan all claim to be the birthplace of Coney dogs: American Coney Island in Detroit, Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit and Todoroff’s Original Coney Island in Jackson.
In 1917, Gust Keros opened American Coney Island. A few years later Keros’s brother opened Lafayette Coney Island next door. Both of these Detroit Coney Islands are incredibly popular to this day, where there is an on-going argument over which establishment serves the best Coney dog. The dispute has been featured on several food television shows, including Food Wars and Man v. Food.
A Coney dog is a beef hotdog, topped with an all meat, beanless chili, diced white onions, and yellow mustard. A true Coney dog uses made-in-Michigan products.
