Nostalgia at its finest! Love everything about walking into Lafayette knowing I will soon be eating the best coneys. From the hustle and bustle sounds and views of the city, to the snap of the coney dog- nothing not to fall in love with. Service is always fantastic. The taste… oh the taste. THE BEST.

Perfect end to our trip home to Detroit! Nothing beats a GREAT coney dog! We had fantastic and quick service- we were treated like old customers as soon as we we walked in – if felt like being home again! We missed this being down south!!

It was a pretty good hot dog. Being from Texas, I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a pretty standard hot dog. The wiener was tougher than normal to bite through.

They have delicious Detroit style coneys. The coney sauce has great flavor and the dogs were tasty. Small place so you might have to wait when it’s busy. The service was very fast even when it was packed.

Another Detroit staple, the Coney Dog. We tried the famous Lafayette. The chili was unique and the dog had a great snap and flavor. A good chili dog always soaks up the nights beverages…

Had a Lafayette Special and Chili Cheese Fries add Shredded Cheddar. Neither were particularly amazing, but were good enough I would visit again on occasion. Can’t beat the price. Dig in and eat up.

ok, it is pretty good! Was not sure what to expect with “Coney Island” in the name, but it was recommended as one of the goto Detroit food stops. The hot dog has all the characteristics of a good new york hot dog: snappy casing, mustard, onions, if you choose, and the bun. The difference is the chili. Not the chili I am used to, but it is more like ground beef with mild chili spices, so not greasy at all. The people running the place look to be the original founders… old. Heard them asking the customers ahead of me if they enjoyed the food, I think they care that the people enjoy their food. It shows in the taste of the food.

Food was really good and fresh. It was worth the money and extremely cheap for downtown. You can even get a beer for $5

You’ll get the authentic experience when visiting this Coney Island restaurant. I’ve been coming here for 50+ years. It was fun to share it with our friends from California.
