Why you'll love it

American Coney Island is a Detroit coney dog landmark, famous for chili-topped hot dogs served in a classic downtown diner setting. The visit is especially compelling because it sits in direct rivalry with neighboring Lafayette Coney Island.

Trivia

American Coney Island has been part of Detroit's coney dog tradition for more than a century and ships nationally through Goldbelly.

Visiting tips

Visit both American and Lafayette if you want the full Detroit coney rivalry. Counter seating keeps the stop quick.
