    Duly's is the real deal, baby. Dogs, onion rings, chili, and every greasy breakfast you can imagine. Zero frills or nonsense. Sit at the counter, let the waiter know what you'd like, and simply enjoy the locals. Definitely felt like I stepped back into a time machine and went back to Queens in the 80's. There's a charm to small diners and when they ALSO have the original decor; it makes the experience just that much sweeter.

    Patiently waiting for our chili-covered treats!

    Duly's is the coolest kid in town! Been great for years and they are still slinging some of the best Coney fare in our fine city of Detroit. I thoroughly enjoyed/destroyed my loose burger with extra jalapeños... and grabbed a bowl of chili to take home for later. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is exactly what you would expect from a classic coney. No fancy neon and shit! Just a counter and some damn good food. Nuff said...see ya!

    Went down to Duly's for the first time, and it did not disappoint. This is the best coney in Detroit by far!

    What a legacy, established in 1921 and still holds much of the original character! We were so excited to find this spot on our day visit to Detroit and get a classic Detroit Coney Island Dog with chili cheese fries and a coke! It was sooo good and we loved the energy of this spot. Excellent service that feels like you have been transported back in time pre-technology when connection was more authentic. Highly recommend this spot to anyone considering!

    Old school diner with reasonable prices. I eat here 1-2 times a year on the rare occasion when I get the chance to stop by Southwest Detroit for breakfast. I haven't tried the Coney dogs, but the hot dogs here received Anthony Bourdain's approval. I've had the breakfast food, grits, tuna sandwich, and fries. I recommend sticking to the breakfast items rather than ordering a sandwich. The tuna sandwich was pretty standard and not a standout on the menu. I've said this before in other reviews, but Detroit proper is the best place to get a cheap and delicious breakfast. Restaurants in the suburbs overcharge as much as 4x more for breakfast, and something is missing from the taste you get at a Detroit greasy spoon. The breakfast is simple and filling: eggs, meat, potatoes, and toast for $6.25 (cash only). An order of grits gives you a generous container, and if you say yes to lots of butter, they add a lot. However, the butter doesn't add much to the flavor. They should use salted butter. I love that places like Duly's are still standing, and it feels like not much has probably changed since it opened over a century ago.

    Bourdain (rest in power) would never have led us astray. This place is a gem! Cheap, tasty food, made quick for you to essentially get in and get out. I got the coney dog and fries for $7.50. Taste was excellent and the French fries were plenty. Two things to note, interior is tiny and you have a 1 hour time limit on dining in. Additionally, it's cash only so be prepared. If you don't have cash, there is an atm across the street. I have yet to try any other coney dogs but very impressed with this one!

    The food is delicious, the service is fast, the prices are low, and the place is clean.

    Amazing place very old fashioned clean friendly and welcoming the server Martin was very cool food was served quick got an original coney and chili fries cheese with onions was definitely a must stop place I will be back for more.

    Hey, had to stop into Duly's! Anthony Bourdain was here in one of his many episodes, so I had to make the Pilgrimage since I was in Detroit last week! We all got the Coney Island dogs - all the way - Boom! It was awesome. The fries were perfectly done too. It's a little place full of character and charm...and some of the best dogs you can find...and I love dogs! Don't pass up this experience, fantastic service and food.

    Hot dog, Better Made chips and soda.  The best dog in Detroit and beyond.
    Jeffrey R.

    Forget the others THIS is the BEST dog in Detroit and beyond. In Toledo we have our own favorites; but this is my favorite by far. Generous portions, delicious food and great service. This is a Detroit Treasure!

    I love this place but today I went and got what I consider a basic breakfast and it was almost $20 and I know for a fact I can go anywhere and get what I ordered at duly for under $15. But other then that I do really like dulys place but not at the prices they are charging.

    Two coneys

    Walked into Duly's because Bourdain did. Stayed because the coney dogs were straight-up magic. Two dogs, no regrets. The chili's messy in the right way, the onions bite back, and the mustard cuts through like it knows what it's doing. Nothing fancy here--just a counter, some stools, and the kind of food that reminds you why diners like this matter. It's greasy, beautiful, and honest. If you don't get it, that's on you.

    Very narrow but has been doing the job for over 100 years!

    This was my first time and definitely won't be my last. Nice portions, great quality and good prices. The best part? The people. The staff there are fantastic and as local as you can get. Everyone knows everyone and they let them know it. I ordered breakfast and of note, the ham had a great flavor. Again, highly recommend. I will be back.

The video surveillance should have also captured the moment I was bear hugged, dragged through a dark hallway, and eventually thrown into a white sign outside. I received bruises and luckily nothing major happened like landing wrong on my head and getting a concussion and possible death (should I have had a bad landing after being tossed by this lady). As she grabbed me and before she threw me to the ground I pled with her that she did not need to do this, but she was very angry (probably because she was working on Halloween and saw me with 3 beautiful girls and she couldn't handle how well the costume looked on me - just speculating here.) I went to this place on Halloween 2025, by the time I was assaulted it was November 1st, 2025 because it was past midnight. I was with 3 other girls (I am a male). We waited in line to get in. I was dressed up as Spider-Man and the girl I was with was Catwoman. I am of Western European descent and maybe that was the issue, I was racially profiled by the woman hostess/bouncer because she was letting in the rest of the people except me and my crew. I proceeded to take my phone out and record her after the assault and take pictures of her so I could later report her. On top of that, there were gunshots nearby so I decided to uber home and report this later instead of right away with the owner. I am going to follow up with this place to make sure we can come to some understanding that assaulting customers is not ok and I will continue to spread the word about my experience if I am not adequately satisfied with their resolution (if there is one). Again, this place is bad news and you should stay away. I am willing to change this review if an apology and some sort of incentive is offered.

I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency we saw from the busy crowd and the food not taking 10 years. The food was tasty. I truly enjoyed my Korean spicy fries. Spicy in name not truly spicy to cause a burn if that makes sense. I was craving a traditional breakfast plate but the staff and my friends who are local insisted that I needed to try the Korean fries so I did both. Was it greedy of me? Absolutely. Did I care? No. The locally sourced sausage was also very tasty. I must try to find it to cook at home. My friends ordered their regular go-to meals so it was great according to them. The burger and the duck hash. I think I'll go back and try the duck hash next time for sure. And another thing, there's a particular parking garage they validate a couple hours for. So parking is not an issue in this downtown office building.

I also think I may have ordered the wrong dish because my mom got an omelette with pancakes on the side and enjoyed it. I gambled with the huevos rancheros but they were just ok. I wish the potatoes were more seasoned. You definitely get a huge portion for whatever you order so expect to split with someone or have leftovers. All in all, a solid brunch spot but not a favorite.
