    the outside of the restaurant
    Meng H.

    Coney Island. There are many Coney islands in Michigan. Just driving around you will see 1-3 around you. The best? I cannot even recommend or tell you. I've never had an exceptional experience. Everyone is just average. If everyone makes the same food, how does one pick a favorite? I guess it would depend on service. Fast service? Alway filling your order correctly? Is the inside a dump? How is the outside? This particular place? Everything seems to be working correctly. The drive-thru works. The only thing I would say bad is maybe make sure my order is correct. I was the only car and they still messed up my order. The major positive? They are open 24hr! Recommend

    The universal symbol for hot dogs

    Not to be confused with the Underwearreversal Coney Island, which is where everyone shows up in panties, and wears them backwards. Fun times. Coneys are not my favourite type of food and in fact it's named after a part of New York that doesn't even have Coneys per say - just one famous old overrated hot dog place called Nathan's. But here in Detroit Coney is the way of life and it is part of the culture and it's stitched into the fabric of Eastern Michigan. And some of these places are really bad and will make you run to the bathroom, whereas some of them are actually good and will make you run to the bathroom. Notice the common thread. Porcelain altar. I highly recommend you give a few of them a try when you're in town especially the late night ones near downtown. This one on the other hand is out in the suburbs and also is a late-night destination and I think it's pretty good. Service was nice and the products were tasty and even though it's probably more of a three or four star place the fact that it's open 24 hours, and the fact that it's a local tradition and these places must be supported and must stay in business to keep the character of Detroit in Detroit.... then I have to give it Cinco. Just hold De Mayo. Thx. And no ketchup plssssssssss.

    No return policy posted

    I'd give negative zero if I could ... I came here to order a simple bacon egg lettuce and tomato... they couldn't even get that correct I asked for a refund they said they don't offer refunds, however they do not have signs posted anywhere on the business regarding a return or order policy. I've contacted the better business bureau while sitting out front. And I'll be contacting small claims court for my refund pain and suffering the horrific threats and hate speech that was shouted to me as I existed the building.

    Drive through action!!

    Have I really never rated this location? I have been literally coming here since it opened it's…read moredoors. When I first tried their delicious smash burger and creamy custard I was hooked. I love the crispy edges of the burger, it is always so fresh and delicious. I love their fries, they are crispy and delicious. I cannot come here without getting those cheese curds and maybe a side of ranch. I never know if I like the white or the orange ones better. My favorite sundae hands down is always the cashew caramel, they put so many toppings in it, it is fabulous every time. Last time we came, a few weeks ago, I got their flavor of the day, chocolate with chocolate cake, so amazing add cookie dough and so did my child. We also order so many other things. I love their chicken sandwiches, heavily underrated. Their tenders are not bad. I love the fish and chips so much. My other child just got the pork chop sando, this place is really like a sit down restaurant in disguise of fast food. I could see them having a sit down version of this place somewhere. I always know someone working here, since I am always in the area, and we always come here before seeing a show, it is a tradition. We like the vibe, the service, and the ambiance. They have a similar taste to Shake Shack, but have so much more on their menu.

You order at the window and pull over while your order is fresh cooked. It was quick and a staff member brought the order to my car. I got the famous butter burger - a double with cheese. The burger was generous in size and the bun was fresh. I also got a vanilla custard shake - it was so thick they served it with a spoon and a straw. I will definitely be back!

    This visit was just as good as the last one. The shop was only slightly busy but there was plenty…read moreof seating and it was clean. I was welcomed by a nice lady at the register who took my order. She helped me with a couple of questions I had because I wanted to try something new but also wanted to get one of the Mozzarella Corn Dogs. I ordered a couple of tacos this time. Both were on the spicy side but not a lingering, hot spicy...just a quick "bite back" spicy, if you know what I mean. One was a Spicy Pork and the other was Chicken Teriyaki but both had a similar amount of spice. Might have been the sauce used. Hubby ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box. It was really good as well. I like this location as it's closer to me than Troy but both have great service and food.

I grabbed a menu and began my search for my fated dish. Having always been a fan of teriyaki chicken, that's what I went ahead and ordered. The staff, in the little interaction I had was friendly and the food came out promptly. Unlike some teriyaki chicken, this was thankfully not fatty and made for a pleasant dining experience. The avocado was fresh, and the bottled sauces that were included offered incredible flavor! I would say, from the meal, my favorite dishes were the chicken itself the kimchi (which was extra) and the noodles pictured in the bottom right (which I do not know their name). They were cold, which I believe is how they are served but they were really good and meaty! The kimchi was delicious and paired SO well with the dish! My only complaints were with the rice and the drinks. I was not really a fan of the texture of the rice and the soda was a bit flat. Overall I would rate Kimchi box a 4/5. A charming and clean establishment in its own right and I would gladly go back, especially to have some revitalizing food on a cool rainy day!

    Honestly I have been waiting years to try the famous chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint! I…read moreremember when their sandwich came out for the first time and there were lines wrapped around the restaurant. Believe me, I tried to secure one, but it was always sold out by the time I arrived. Now that is has been half a decade the demand has gone down. So first bite, so crispy crunchy delicious. The bun was soft, the chicken was juicy, I enjoyed the mayo and pickles. Very good. Controversial statement? It left Chick Fil A in the dust, that one is not crispy at all. As good as Shake Shack but way cheaper. I also tried their ghost pepper wings. The ads got me stating it had a spice but the spice did not overpower the wing flavor. They were correct. The wings were very nice and I did like their ranch even though it was a shelf stable ranch cup and not homemade. The people working here were so friendly and helpful and honestly went out of their way when waiting on me. I do not come here often, but when I have visited, it has always been a good experience. They have a nice small place to sit. I typically try the food then take the rest home. What is really funny is how many people like to give fast food low scores. This is a fast food restaurant, you should expect fast food. This place offers really tasty fast food, and I would love to come back and have the sandwich and wings again. I also love their biscuits. They are so buttery and way better than KFC whose biscuits taste like rocks. This place has the best fast food biscuits out there.
