$4.00 for a coney?!?!?!?! My cooking at home and DOING SO FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE, in a safe and clean environment, has taken me out of the loop on restaurants.
Rats are outside of every restaurant they live in the sewers that's not why you get shut down. What gets you closed down allowing them to run around most places actively hire pest control in order to prevent this..
Simply put it's historical too the city and one of the few reasons people come here. Without coney island and eminem(even though he's not much of a Detroit rapper imo) there's not much things here too bring tourists too help the local economy
I was grossed out after seeing mouse droppings and cockroaches in the basement bathroom. Then the 22 closure. Now this. My parents have been going for probably almost 60 years and I’m going on 48 and been there since a baby. These stories have almost sealed the deal for me. I’ve always loved that the place never changed but now somethings gotta happen. 🤢
I’m never eating there. It’s always been nasty every 6 to 8 months. We hear about Lafayette or the other one right there having a shut down cause they’re disgusting. You don’t have to worry about me ever ever eaten that Coney Island.
People still eat here because others spread propaganda about how good they are without telling people about continuing rat problems. I know a well known guy who advertises for them on the reg on UA-cam!!!
How dumb to you have to be to believe rat’s are only showing up at this specific restaurant. I guarantee every restaurant has rat or mice problem. I drive a garbage truck and can tell you every single restaurant has them.
Whats funny to me is what happens @ Lafayette coney island isnt happing right nxt door @ American coney Island i believe someone from right nxt door @ American coney Island is trying to make them go out of business ..thats my 2 cents
Lol 6 years ago me and my man was downtown. I told him I was craving a coney dog. When I tell you it was a roach running across the wall. I point him out. We I say I walk out and had the nerve to have a long line
Armando's Mexican restaurant is next.. I was there the other night and I seen three mice jump down on the cold grill.. right by the takeout door.. they was literally hopping around the cold grill like it was just a fun playground. Yes Armando's in Southwest Detroit..
They got shut down because the management WASNT taking action and it's now a pattern. What makes you think they will miraculously change this time? Sure wish I had that much faith in humans but I've lived long enough to know greed drives all.

Yes but do your home coneys come with "rat sprinkles" on top? Guano gets top dollar elsewhere!
Yup....And YOU make'm just the way YOU wanna
Rather eat a duice on a bun safer large coke please
Like roaches and bedbugs, that entire building has a problem. Gross.
If they have rats the one next door does also! Restaurants downtown have had rats for years .

@@KReese333rat meat is inside😂
You can smell the rodents/roaches as soon as u walk in. I cant believe folks still eat there
If you think the rats are staying in that one business and not infested in that entire block you're being quite silly.
🐀💩🌭🤮
They sleep in the book hotel 😂
That is no surprise. We visited this place last year, ordered food, looked at it, and left the place.
Why do people eat here? The real Detroit residents don't eat here, lastly take this off the things to eat in Detroit.

I was (after 53 years) done with this place then….and because of this owners’s indifference, I still am!
All Detroit coney islands restaurants take our money right out of the city they won’t even invest in their own future to keep the business open
American Coney should move Somewhere else in Detroit.
That place is disgusting
THEY BEEN HAD RATS SINCE 85.
REMODEL THIS JOINT!!!
Went there once,would never go back. Needs some remodeling and clean up.
I haven’t been back since the last closure
They need to to sell the place
They will, and of course it will be sold to a cousin who has the same mentality while cheating on his taxes.💁🏽♀️
They’ll never sell that location is a gold mine they’d close it down for a couple of years before they sell it
Is that why my coney dog had a tail on it ??
Folks keep going back lol
Seems like they only clean when in trouble.
Both places should’ve been permanently condemned.
Thank God customers can call and talk to the health department...they will go out and do inspections in Michigan. ..other states need to do the same
So one place has rats and the American coney island don't???
Rats also in the City Council.

I wish them the best! I always thought both Coneys were Detroit Icons. Ive been to both ...
Did they charge you extra for the brown sprinkles?
Damn shame and national embarrassment for such a iconic cornerstone.
The next Detroit sports team should be called the Rats.
The loins eat rat meat after losing 😂
Rats live anywhere that's near water LOL
The biggest rat I ever saw was in Cleveland.
Looks like I missed the "Kitchen Nightmares" episode, where Gordon Ramsey was on it! 🤣
People still eat here because others spread propaganda about how good they are without telling people about continuing rat problems. I know a well known guy who advertises for them on the reg on UA-cam!!!
They always gotta be exposed to clean up ugh they don’t care if u sick
Every couple years it's the same thing with this location
Damn
They are super cheap! They should have a lady that cleans at least 3-4 times. But no hungry for money! Disgusting!!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I still used to enjoy my breakfast at the old Senate Coney Island on Michigan Ave. During the 80's they would around the restaurant as pets.
If they not clean what makes you think they gonna start cleaning now,?
Shid they don't even use gloves when they cook, The hell.
The entire city is infested with rats. It’s really nasty
😅 nasty, nasty, nasty.
Their probably next door too. 😂
Somebody from NXT door is setting them up
No reopening it should b permanently closed. 🐀 🐀 oh hell naw
American it is. Never going to Lafayette again unless there's a change of ownership which results in major improvements.
You think they're any better? LOL
@@BlackHittheir bathrooms at least aren’t in an underground closet
They share the same building next door too each other what one has the other does too
How dumb to you have to be to believe rat’s are only showing up at this specific restaurant. I guarantee every restaurant has rat or mice problem. I drive a garbage truck and can tell you every single restaurant has them.
@@casseysickles2186 Thank you so very much for your kind and considered reply.
LIKE THEY didn’t know this was going on????!!!! 😂😂😂
Whats funny to me is what happens @ Lafayette coney island isnt happing right nxt door @ American coney Island i believe someone from right nxt door @ American coney Island is trying to make them go out of business ..thats my 2 cents
Nah,Don't believe that
The crazy lady tipped the city off so they would have someone to blame for their own problems. End of story...
Lol 6 years ago me and my man was downtown. I told him I was craving a coney dog. When I tell you it was a roach running across the wall. I point him out. We I say I walk out and had the nerve to have a long line
AGAIN?!
I saw a rat once that looked like it weighed 25 pounds.
I spilled mustard in 1974 there. I went back in 2020 and it was gone.
They sell rat meat with onions😂😂😂
I bring my friends from out of town to Lafayette Coney island.
🐀💩🌭🤮
Relocate
🤮🤮 Folks value your health. Cook eat at home.
Did they call an exterminator to get rid of the rats 🐀?
Never understood the hype - rat problem is bad publicity for Detroit.
Government overreach...let the free market handle it. Right?
Please don't go back there people!!!!
What’s up with the spelling?
00:40 “Remodling”
2:13 “Cutomer”
He's a forrener
@@GOPRepubliklan - Jajajajaja
Not the first time.😂 and they will let them open again, anyone going back 😂
He needs to find another business for his customers
I hate this when I want a coney this is where I go.
That has to be done freq, they will prob never be safe, gross!!
It gives the hot dogs their special Detroit chili taste.
Armando's Mexican restaurant is next.. I was there the other night and I seen three mice jump down on the cold grill.. right by the takeout door.. they was literally hopping around the cold grill like it was just a fun playground. Yes Armando's in Southwest Detroit..
NAO!!🤢
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
🐀💩🌭🤮
American is way cleaner
Wow!

Love my city, hate to eat these nasty hot dogs detroiters seem to love. Can't get me to eat this mess
Last time I was there the 'rats' were old men .. going to poo...
💯💯🦨🦨🦨🤣🤣🧑🍳🧑🍳🧑🍳
🐀💩🌭🤮
They prob, serving them for food!!!!!
Aside from very slow people, who does this manner of delivering info appeal to?
Would you like some rat hair on your coney??
Good for you coney island. Fix the issue . I aplaude you!! Its not easy but it be harder to take if you shut down.keep your head up and look forward.
You applaud them for being forced to shut down AGAIN?
It is a great place!!!! And it will be a great place! Well, the issue was spotted, the management took an action. ❤
Management should have taken action long before the health department was notified.
They got shut down because the management WASNT taking action and it's now a pattern. What makes you think they will miraculously change this time? Sure wish I had that much faith in humans but I've lived long enough to know greed drives all.
