Top 3 Coney Dogs in Detroit
Detroit's coney picks — drawn from Detroit Metro Times' essential guide to the metro's best Coney Islands.
- #1
Lafayette Coney Island
Downtown
“Metro Times' #1 — Detroit's definitive coney since 1924, known for a meatier family-recipe chili. 'There's not much left to say. Pass the mustard.'”
- #2
American Coney Island
Downtown
“Metro Times' #2 — opened 1917 by Gust Keros (brother of Lafayette's founder); the spicier, homemade chili side of the 100-year-old rivalry.”
- #3
Duly's Place Coney Island
Southwest Detroit
“Metro Times' #3 — a 24-hour Vernor Highway diner, the neighborhood coney counter locals send you to when they're done arguing about downtown.”
