    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

The city was bustling with people, and I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the downtown area was. The café had a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matched the excitement of the city. Our server was absolutely amazing and made excellent recommendations. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. Based on the recommendation, I ordered the corned beef hash with the cinnamon pancakes, and both were fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to try the red velvet pancakes! My friend ordered the Triple Triple Omelette with the original buttermilk pancakes, and we both chose the cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were very creamy, though I would recommend adding a little more butter to enhance the flavor. That was really my only critique. The restaurant was busy, but after dining there, I completely understand why. Despite the crowd, we were greeted immediately, and the service was prompt throughout our visit. Overall, Hudson Café delivered great food, outstanding service, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. I will most certainly be back the next time I'm in downtown Detroit!

It was a rainy morning and we chose not to go anywhere else, and waited our 20 minutes to be seated. This restaurant is bustling, and you can tell it is well liked. My fiancé had the omelette, and I had the Berry waffle. My waffle had fresh strawberries and blueberries on top along with compote. It was not quite what I was expecting, it seemed to be more like stewed fruit juice, but I enjoyed it. My fiancé enjoyed his omelette as well. I ordered a side of bacon, and it came with four very large slices of bacon. It's definitely not a cheap place to breakfast, as my waffle with bacon on the side was nearly $22. But if you want a green breakfast place the various breakfast options, including multiple types of waffles, grapes, eggs, pancakes, benedetc., then this is the place.

When you have brunch with the girls it's hard to get a vote in and tbh I plan everything else we do so I'm happy to take a break on Sunday because I am god after all. Anyway I went on my own accord today. The service was beautiful. I really don't love having to order off of my phone because it limits the server to customer experience but despite that my server Mary made me feel super connected to her. She had great recommendations and knowledgeable descriptions of the menu. I sat on the patio with a nice breeze and minimal bugs. Seating was spacious and delightful. I got the brekwhich and it was soooooo delish. Mary could tell I was a freak so she had the crazy idea to put their locally farmed 3 berry jam on it. I told her it reminded me of that one episode of SpongeBob and I lost her :/. The savory plus the sweet was heaven in my heart. If he could he would, and apparently everyone's afraid of heaven. I also got my fav a BM (Bloody Mary). I didn't ask what mix they use like I usually do, I had faith. And I was right to do so. McClure's! MY FAVORITE TIED WITH VIVIOS! It came with a spicy peppery rim which was aight but that's not really my thing, I'm not that freaky! But I don't yuck anyone's yum. I also got the NEW lavender mimosa. Fragrant, festive and fastidious. It was a bright light that woke me up in a way only summer light is able to do. Angels are blinding, I hope Mary can still see because she took a peak in my heart to deliver the best experience. 10/10 will be back Side note I really don't get poutine for breakfast but I appreciate people sticking with brand. And I don't have to order that :)

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.
