- Lafayette Coney Island (118 W Lafayette Blvd.)

Google Reviews/Leon S. Sarkisian When it comes to Detroit’s best coney dogs, the debate is heated over whether American of Lafayette takes the cake. While both eateries are fantastic, we’re partial to Lafayette for its unassuming atmosphere and focus on classically delicious dogs. Lafayette Coney Island is a cash-only restaurant so be sure to bring your bills when you stop by to dine.
