Lafayette Coney Island, Detroit

Real Detroiters go to Lafayette.....anything else is uncivilized!

I live in Las Vegas now. I left Detroit in 1961. The thing I miss most about Detroit is Layfayette Coney Island Hotdogs. Their hotdogs are unbeatable anywhere on earth. On Saturday night you could go in there and eat alonside of men in tuxes, ladies in furs and just plain people like me. I sure miss the place.

OMG!! I miss it! I have live in NY for 25 years and the best coney islands are in MICHIGAN!!!! Can someone send me some? Please????

this is the best. dont make a mistake and go to the one next door. if its busy, then just go back home and try again another day. the staff is great, the food is great and the beer is ice cold. ive been going since 1985 and it still rocks

When I lived in Detroit I used to eat here all the time and still do when I'm in the area. The food is good and the cost is low. The service is great. You never have to wait to long for them to serve you a meal. I would recommend this restaurant to others.

My Dad always took me to Lafayette Coney Island whenever we were within a 10 mile radius for a baseball game, shopping, or going to a museum or Cobo Hall. It hasn't changed in 50 years -- still the best all beef dogs with great chili and onions. A must for all visitors and native Detroiters.

This is the greatest Coney Island in the world. The service is the fastest. The atmosphere is great for the family. I've been coming here for about twenty years. The perfect Coney is located here.

I have been going to Lafayette Coney Island for more than 35 years. It is the standard for Coney's in Detroit (and anywhere else for that matter). Our daughters first went there when they were infants and got a taste of the chilli from my wife's fingertip. Now they are in their 30's and we have to take them to Milwaukee for our youngest daughter. "3 on 2, no onions" is kind of a family saying. Not only are the coney's great, but the guys who work there are kind, efficient, friendly, and have to put up with lots of drunks when there is a big event downtown. Cops, guys in suits, Red Wings fans, teenagers and families sit elbow to elbow and enjoy a great "fast food" meal. There may be imitations, but this is the place for real Detroit coney dogs. P.S. There is a place on the east side where you can by the dogs and chili by the brick. It's just that eating these at home just doesn't have the same atmosphere.

They have awesome food I love going Downtown just to eat here
