Lafayette Coney Island DETROIT, MI

Gaudy orange Formica tables and matching chairs conjure images of '70s style. This place isn't about frills--it's about giving people simple choices for lunch or dinner during the rush of a business day, and providing a late-night stop to complete an evening of fun in the downtown area. Coney-inspired dishes are the only choices here. The traditional Coney dog is made with mustard and onions. Chili, hamburgers and chili dogs come with fries.

The MILK is the way to go.

This is the world famous Demos Lembesis in action.

Thank you Mr. Lembesis!!

I went to las vegas then when i came back to detroit this morning of the first day of 2011 i couldnt help but come back to the lafayette coney island. Lafayette all the way

There are simply NO coney joints anywhere in the world that can compare with Lafayette. I dream of these, far away now as I am in Las Vegas. When I come home to Michigan to visit, it's the first place I want to go.

This place is not just a coney island its a freaking time machine haha!

I ran into Bob Probert (sp?) & some of his friends here years ago. I was quite inebriated & you could smell the booze, but the cops that were eating there at the time let me slide because I am such a great guy.

Yea Demo!! First thing for me was to have him pour me a glass of milk and order the dogs...I grew up in Windsor and started to go to clubs in Detroit (Uncle Sams)in mid 70s. A 65 GTO got me and my friends to Layfayette and it was all coney business for an hour. Sure miss Demo, but I return all the time still with wife and 15 year old daughter who thinks the place is a time machine- it is that for sure!
