American Coney Island

American Coney Island is located directly next door to Lafayette and is actually the original of the two, while Lafayette is the result of a family fight. The two are pretty similar, with American being the more updated, 24 hour option (Lafayette closes at 3am). Consider trying coneys from both before deciding where your allegiance lies, but never trust a Detroiter who doesn’t have a preference.

Review

Lafayette Coney Island is one of the two most famous spots for coney dogs in Detroit. It’s open late and best experienced with a side of chili fries.

Buddy’s Pizza review image
Review

Detroit-style pizza was invented at Buddy’s in Hamtramck, and it’s still the best place to eat the rectangular, thick crust pan pies in the city.

Selden Standard review image
Review

Selden Standard in Midtown has nailed the New American food/good cocktails/exposed wood trio for years. And guess what? It’s still great.

Review

Maru is a great downtown sushi option, with specialty rolls, udon, and a late-night menu perfect for when you drank a little too much at Happy Hour.
