Where it Started

Step into the rich tapestry of history where the iconic Coney Island tale began in the early 1900s. Crafted by immigrants seeking refuge and opportunity in the bustling streets of New York City, the original Coney Island swiftly captured the hearts and palates of Americans far and wide.


Fast forward to the vibrant city of Detroit, Michigan, circa 1914 or 1917, the birthplace of the Coney Island legacy as we know it today. Amidst the spirited debates over its inception, two legendary establishments emerged side by side: American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island, each staking its claim to culinary fame.


Yet, the age-old question persists: Which holds the title of the first Detroit Coney Island? Is it the iconic American Coney Island or the beloved Lafayette Coney Island? The answer remains a mystery, for both boast their rightful place in history, standing shoulder to shoulder, an inseparable part of Detroit's cultural fabric.


And now, in homage to this enduring tradition, we proudly present our rendition of the beloved Koney Island, with a distinctive "K". Inspired by the soulful essence of Metro Detroit, where Koney Islands are not merely eateries but cherished symbols of community and heritage. Our Koney Island pays homage to the timeless legacy of its predecessors while carving its own path in the culinary landscape. Join us on a journey through flavor and tradition as we invite you to experience the essence of Koney Island hospitality, where every bite tells a story steeped in history and flavor.
