Serving Detroit since 1966

Coneys the way Detroit has loved them for sixty years.

Steamed buns, beanless beef chili, yellow mustard and diced onions — the original recipe, still made by the family that started it on a downtown corner in 1966.

The original — two coneys, chili, mustard, onions.

Sixty years on the same corner.

In 1966, Benny Petroski set a steam table and a pot of chili on a downtown Woodward corner and never looked back. Same family, same recipe, same city block — through every Detroit high and low. The coneys are still steamed, the chili still simmers fresh every morning, and the stools still fill up at lunch.

The short menu, done right.
