If you have ever been in the metropolitan Detroit area, you're familiar with Coney Island joints. If you're a Detroiter, I'll sum it up here: For the Detroit area, this would be a better than average Coney. The hot dogs are way above average, and the chili tastes authentic, and they stock a variety of Faygo products. Fries are good, but more peppery than most. The restaurant is small/cozy, obviously old. Clean, but the building could use significant TLC. The neighborhood, in Detroit, would be east of 8 Mile. Expect only counter service. 2 Coney's, fries, and a can of pop will cost you $10, and you will be very full afterwards. If you're not from Detroit - A Coney dog is a hot dog with mild chili, onions, and mustard. (I'll spare you a Detroit history lesson. But New Yorkers will have to keep in mind that a "Coney Island" will not bear much resemblance to anything that "self-respecting" hot dog connoisseurs eat in New York. Such people can get a plain, grilled hot dog with mustard here.) It's a high quality dog. My Detroit nostalgia may prevent me from being objective, but I think they're better than Portillos, and about a dead heat with the best in town. And, yes, since you probably think of Faygo as "cheap" or "generic" instead of nostalgic, they do have Coke products too. It's not haute cuisine. It's workingman's food. It's cheap, tasty, filling, and horrible for your cholesterol count. Go in expecting this, and you won't be disappointed. Vegetarian options: They have french fries. That's the only vegetarian option that I remember. Kid-friendliness: If your kid will eat a hot dog or chicken strips, you'll be fine. I don't see a kids menu as a necessity. Parking: A shared parking lot, kind of awkward to navigate. Wheelchair accessibility: It will be awkward. I'm sure they would come to the door and help you, if asked.

Went by for lunch today based on very strong reviews but found that they are closed until early next year for remodeling at least that's what the sign on the door said
