Lafayette Coney Island

Detroit staple!! Lafayette Coney Island is one of the original Detroit style Coney Island hot dog restaurants. It shares a wall with its 'rival American Coney Island. We sat at the counter while the staff constantly removed dirty plates, napkins, etc. The ambience is more like a NYC diner including the bathroom that is about the size of the driver seat in my car. We ordered a coney fully dressed chili, mustard and onions. The meat here is very savory with a thinner skin hands down the loudest snap l've ever heard when l've bit into a hot dog, that alone was enough for 5 stars for me,amazing! and the chili is so vibrant in its flavor. 100% recommend!

I will say this the food here is amazing. But what really gives it a 5 star is the staff friendly from the moment you walk in to the exact moment you leave

Sweet staff. Always a great, affordable meal on the go. We took our girls here, it was their first time and they loved it. They loved it even more, when the sweet waiter gave them a complimentary donut. Thank you so much for the kind gesture!

First time here. A nice little spot to get an average coney from. Quick friendly service. Tax is already added in the price. Walking distance from cobo hall. (Yes I still call it cobo)

One of the foods that Detroit is known for is the coney dog and the best spot from what I saw was Lafayette Coney Island. I got the coney Island with chili cheese fries and was not disappointed. I didn't know if hot dog, mustard chili would go together but it definitely worked.
