The main difference (recipe wise) between "Lafayette Coney Island" and the inferior "American…read moreConey" is the chili & onions. American uses boring "sweet onions" while Lafayette uses "SPANISH onions " which have more kick. But the real difference is the Chili, and that's the reason for the split & disagreement. Lafayette has a MEATER chili, meaning they don't skimp on quality ingredients. My best friend and I used to skip school in the 80's just to eat here. And the bathroom is COOL! It's like an adventure! The other main difference is American Coney has open seating because REAL Detroiters don't eat there. When interviewed there's a real character difference between owners. Grace Keros, the 3rd gen owner of American Coney likes to talk sh1t. You don't need to do that when your product is superior. Every interview she gives is sour grapes. Plus REAL Detroiters Coney dogs never put CHEESE on the coneys. American Coney = FAKE Detroit Coneys. Here is a pic of me in my $4Million Batmobile. Batman prefers Lafayette!

The Coney dog ($4) was ordered. It had the classic toppings of bean less chili, yellow mustard, and raw chopped white onions. This was solid. There was a nice bite on the chili with plenty of mustard and onions. The bread was soft and the hot dog was cooked appropriately. The chili was the key as it was hearty and meaty. Will I go back? Yeah, sure.

If you need more, this place is conveniently located, with okay enough service, and attracts a crazy crowd. Two guys drove up and got in line just seconds after I approached for my own order and I saw a dad with his daughter at the place as I was driving off. Super popular, super fast, super good.

And the menu consists of dogs, chips and root beer. No fries. When I ordered my almost 3 year old a hot dog with ketchup and mustard it was so overly loaded with ketchup that he could not feed himself, and I had to hold the dog and feed him. Absolutely ridiculous. For 5 dogs and a large root beer, it was $17. The dogs were meh. The service was not worth the tip I had to give before service was completed. Smh. I won't do that again. I had to flag down another server in order to get the tray on the window taken back so I could leave. My server never came back after she got her money.

I think Sailor's Landing is going to be the one to break the curse! The food is excellent and the service is very friendly. I went with the 1st Mate hotdog: chili, cheese, brown mustard and remove the onions. It was outstanding. A side of fresh potato salad and black cherry drink completed the meal. Our son had the pork bbq sandwich. They gave a very generous portion, so I got to finish what he had leftover. It was a great sandwich! Sailor's Landing has your choice of round tables/chairs or picnic tables to choose from. This has always been a great location and now we have a great restaurant to go with it!

The footlong had chili and cheese on it which made it a "Big Daddy Footlong" and I added onions and jalapeños. The bun was ironclad, it didn't even tear when loaded up with chili. The chili is a family recipe so I've heard, it's delicious! Highly recommended. There are a variety of toppings as well, my buddy put pepperoni on his hotdog! The polish boy was insaaaaane. I smashed it in 30 seconds. Really good flavor to the sauce, goes great with the slaw. The bun did start to disintegrate but I drove back to work before eating it, so it sat for 12~ish minutes. Overall great experience, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, it was priced extremely fair for the quality and the location gave me great big city deli/bodega vibes with a few tables you can eat at.
