In from out of town. Had to try an original Coney dog right. Well this lived up to expectations and more. We tried a multiple places and this was the unanimous winner in our group.

Kind of like a hole in the wall with simple but fantastic hot dogs. We ordered a couple of Coney Island digs with cheese fries. The dogs were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The cheese fries were good as well. It's a cheap place to eat with friendly service.

It's a Detroit thang. Pork hotdogs that u can add chili onions cheese. I had the loose meat burger (chili in a hotdog bun)..chili not hearty..very soft like..cooked for sometime. Place had nostalgia the older end of business (the original spot) super small..motown artists would stop in back in the day. Not sure how this small vintage guy who makes the order remembers cause the waiter yells it to him..it's funny..they also have pie apple lemon meringue banana custard etc..my friend said the hotdog had snap (4 stars)..they huge on mustard too..

Service was terrible, we sat down. Waiter walked past to serve a table that came in after us , and they were not busy, took their order got their drinks and food before they even came to our table. Took our food order and never ask if we wanted drinks. We went to both coney dog places. The American coney dog place next door was 100% better. They had better food and excellent service.

The Lafayette Special was delicious but too messy to hold. Husband said the coneys were the best he ever had! Not the friendliest dude, nor the cleanest place, but I'd go back for sure! Gotta try their competition and maybe re-review them.

You want the best coney Detroit has to over! This is your place. Their coneys, fries, and pies are amazing! Baklava is off the charts! The atmosphere here is Detroit, eat at the counter day or night, and you're bound to meet someone new or run into some excitement. It's always one of my first stops when I make it back to the city. There are so many new places all over the city, but nothing beats the original.

Lafayette Coney is a Detroit institutionIt's a greasy hole in the wall that simply oozes history and charm.The only downside to this place is that, because it's so small and so old, it's not wheelchair accessible at all.Wheelchair accessibility: Because this place is so old and so tiny, it's not wheelchair accessible at all
