this is my business

After 56 years in the City of Hamtramck, "Genie's Wienies" has chosen the City of Fraser as their new home. Genie's Wienies opened April 14, 2007 to a record crowd, selling several hundred hot dogs on the first day alone. They have a large following of loyal customers who have enjoyed their hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and world famous chili for many, many years. A Genie granted hot dogs and hamburgers three wishes at this Coney Island: to be slathered with yellow mustard, freshly chopped white onions and homemade chili. It was a good wish. Owned and operated by Polish-Americans since 1950, Genie's Wienies knows how to please hungry Detroit/Fraser customers. The interior stays the same, and business remains as constant and steady as ever. If you're in a hurry, a frozen block of their famous chili is available for you to take home and serve later, or just grab a cup of chili cheese fries to go on the way.

Too bad Genies Wienies closed again - I hope they re-open soon.

Come back, come back....

They are a family owned business and everything is made fresh while you wait. Everyone is so friendly and you always run into someone you know. The prices can't be beat, they're the greatest. Have to have our weekly fix. The original Genies was in Hamtramck, was going crazy when they were moving and preparing for the opening of the new store, thought they would never open up, but they did thankfully.

The best homemade chili in town! And I know it's homemade; I worked for Genie back in the old Hamtramck days. His daughter Michelle is doing a wonderful job of keeping a great tradition alive.

They have the best coneys and chili cheese burgers. My family and my husband's family both grew up in Hamtramck. Our parents passed the tradition on to us and we passed it on to our kids. My sister and her husband would go there for their anniversary every year. When they closed and moved to Fraser we called and were put on the waiting list to find out when they would open, we spent 2 hours getting our food that first day but it was worth every minute. My kids won't eat any coneys but Genies Wienies.

Best chili, best dogs, best burgers, best everything. When I was younger, my friend and I would walk to church on Sundays, Genie Weinies was on the way. Lets just say we prayed our parents wouldn't find out that we skipped church for delicious Genies. We couldn't resist.

It was a long dry spell the 9 months it was closed - but now, I am going there in 1/2 hour and cannot wait. The chili - the "bestest" cheese sticks, the fried mushrooms, the coney dogs - wait I am leaving now can't wait another 1/2 hr. Hope to see you there.

After working as a waitress for 15 years there I still believe they not only have the Best Cheeseburgers but the greatest waitresses,the only thing I had that some of them weren't blessed with is the fact that I was fortunate to work with the Genie himself, and that is something I will always cherish. The next generation of our family is now employed there. April I hope you have as much fun and enjoy it as much as I did.

The same great taste from the 60's to 2007. My son had his first chili burger a few days ago and can't stop talking about it. Gene may you rest in peace and THANKS for the great years on Conant. GOOD LUCK to the new owners, may you continue the tradition and create new memories.
