Kind of like a hole in the wall with simple but fantastic hot dogs.
We ordered a couple of Coney Island dogs with cheese fries.
The dogs were cooked perfectly and tasted great.
The cheese fries were good as well.
It's a cheap place to eat with friendly service.

We visited Lafayette as part of the Coney Island war in Detroit.
The restaurant has an old school diner vibe, and as a bonus, it opens late, so we found ourselves sitting on the counter late at night wishing for something warm to soothe my soul. I found Lafayette chili to be the best in Detroit so far.
The chili is comforting and full of subtle flavours, but it elevated the experience of the Coney Island.
The sausage has the right snap, and compliments the chili and onion.
The Lafayette Special comes with ground beef on the top of the Coney Island, and I found the seasonings on the meat to round off the entire dish. Everyone working behind the counter was friendly and engaging.
I would copy the same recommendation as other reviewers: for complete experience, do check out the washroom.
I know that the war for Coney Island in Detroit would continue, and I doubt my review would cast the deciding vote, but I really enjoyed my visit there, and I definitely would visit again when I'm in the area.

The greatest hot dog, literally the krusty krab of hot dogs for real.
The sausage is really good and the skin has some bite to it.
I also like that the chili has a lot of meat in it too. AND they're open late so when you're hungover at 2 AM this place got your back
