Hot dogs, hot dogs and more hot dogs! That's what this popular restaurant is known for. Lafayette Coney Island is somewhat of an institution in Downtown Detroit. It's the perfect place to stop for a snack or a cheap but filling meal. The place has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, which is decidedly a part of its charm. Aside from Detroit's famous Coney dogs, you will also find gyros, pita sandwiches and Greek salads as refreshing alternatives on the menu. Lafayette Coney Island is also one of the few diners in Downtown that stays open till 3a. So, if you are burning the midnight oil and desire a snack, you know where to go. Plastic money is not accepted, only cash payment will do.

yelpThis is the epitome of a coney restaurant. Straightforward, no frills. Get in, find a spot, get your order, get your food, eat. This place has been around forever, and is my favorite coney in...
MoreOur first time here and we enjoyed the Coney dogs we ordered. Afterwards, we weren't sure they were worth the hype, but we enjoyed the nostalgia and community garden next door. Like someone else...
MoreLafayette Coney Island is undeniably a huge part of Detroit history. You can't talk about downtown Detroit or classic Detroit food without mentioning it, and the place definitely has that...
MoreIm sad I came to get this coney dog after eating at JoJo's but I was leaving back to NY the next day so I had to try it. It was soooo good. I was so stuffed so I just ate the inside of the bun....
MoreHad to come here to compare American with this place. The snap of Lafayette is better but they don't put cheese on theirs. Beer selection is minimal.
