Bad Service!

by NEOPARADIGM

I have to suspect that these four- and five-star reviews are based more on nostalgia and late-night drunken visits than they are based on the quality of this place.

Our service was so bad, we were laughing. It's one thing to be "no frills;" I can appreciate that if it's done in a charming and intentional way. But there's a line between that and just plain rudeness. The waiter practically threw our drinks at us and never came back after he brought the food. Just preposterous. And we wanted more food!

Of course I don't expect anyone to have a similar experience; I'm not suggesting it's "always" like that (though maybe it is). Still, I can't write a review without mentioning it.

Dogs we ordered were great, but, really, have you ever had a bad coney? Fries were cold and seemed like they would have been average at best even if they were hot.

I won't be going back.

• Pros: Atmosphere; food I guess
• Cons: Kinda dingy; terrible service

KING OF ALL CONEY RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD!!!!!

by foodymcfood07

Every detroit father should make this coney his son's/daughter's first. From the simplistic decor to the fast, friendly service Lafayette Coney is a detroit icon that reigns over all others. Best dogs, best chili, the best. I wish i was eating one right now!

• Pros: uber-awsome coney dogs
• Cons: has to share the block with infearior coney dog operation.

Best Coneys in Michigan

by dumb_ed

My taste for hotdogs... I go to Lafayette for coneys, and Hippo's for chicago style. The chili is spectacular.

• Pros: food
• Cons: parking, dirty dishes
