Close to the Westin where we were staying. Heard it’s a “must do” in Detroit to get a Coney Island hotdog. So I took the family over to have dinner. We ordered the Lafayette special, Loose Hamburger sandwich, chili cheese fries, fries, and a couple of...Read More

Great stop for both locals and tourists in Detroit looking to have a late night snack. Great place to get a cheap bite to eat after a drunk night out, or just a snack. Very hole-in-the-wall type classic American diner.

The coney and the special were ok. The staff is very friendly and it's fun to compare with next door. The food is extremely hot. The dog itself had a bit more flavor here.

A homeless man came in and asked if someone could give him a french fry. At first I expected the owner to kick him out, but instead he gave the man fries and a drink on the house. The place might look rough or cold,...Read More
