I dearly love Lafayette Coney Island, having gone there with my dad decades ago and having brought my own sons there every year on our annual trips to Michigan. However, I must say that I was a bit disappointed to recently learn that their dogs were not all beef, but rather pork and beef. There's just something about an all-beef dog that seems superior to me. However, I'll still be a diehard Lafayette fan!

I've been going to Coney Island since I was a kid - that's 4 decades now & it's still the best! I've lived all over the country & I always spoke of them with great longing. Good to be back in the Detroit area just to grab one with the works - YUM!!

Nothing better than a burger or pancakes at 2:30 in the morning after a night at the bars!

What a treat it was going Downtown with my Dad and we always had to stop at Lafayettes. In my opinion there is no other coney island.

Not necessarily the best, but you have to go at least once to call yourself a Detroiter.

Best in area - "one up second line". Always worth the drive, then on to the riverfront to warch the activity. A "must" when guests are in town.

If you are going to a coney in Detroit it has to be Lafayette, if you go to American coney next door you are going to be sorry.

Nothing beats a classic!
