About this place

Lafayette Coney Island is the stripped-down, beloved counterpart in Detroit's famous side-by-side coney dog rivalry. Its appeal is the directness of the experience: counter, chili, onions, mustard, and history.

Trivia

The American-versus-Lafayette coney rivalry is one of Detroit's signature food stories.
