Taste The Classics At Michigan’s Oldest Fast Food Joint

Did you know Michigan's most historic fast-food joint has been open for 110 years? The fact that this hot spot is family-owned and operated makes it even more appealing.

This foodie destination is known for coney dogs, chili dogs, gyros, Chicago-style hot dogs, New York-style hot dogs, burgers, chili fries, beer, and more.

The restaurant's name says it all: Coney Island Hot Dogs. This coney place in Kalamazoo is the most historic fast-food joint in Michigan.

Coney Island Hot Dogs opened its doors in 1915. Frank Adams purchased the restaurant from its original owner in 1932. To date, the Adams family still owns the popular spot.

Love Food, a popular food website recently recognized the longstanding restaurant on its list of the Most Historic Fast Food Joints in the United States;

Arguing over who invented the Coney dog is a Midwest pastime – and one of the biggest Coney dog rivalries is between Detroit stalwarts American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island. That said, the oldest Coney dog spot in the state is actually Kalamazoo's Coney Island Hot Dogs, which has been in operation since 1915.

 

It's true, you do learn something new every day!
