The Coney Dog

Original to Jackson

Birthplace of the Coney

After years of research and much debate, it’s time to the world recognized Jackson as the Birthplace of the Coney. From it’s humble beginnings to the world wide sensation it has become, the coney is a unique and cherished part of Jackson culture. Jackson Coney Island opened in 1914, three years before Detroit’s first, and hasn’t changed much in the past century — much to the approval of its patrons. It isn’t the only participant in this coney craze either. Virginia Coney Island and Rooster Coney Island both serve frankfurter classics and traditional American fare. You can even chow down on a coney dog while you shop at Alpha Coney Island, located within Jackson Crossing Mall. If you want to take that iconic sauce home, order or pick up some Todoroff’s Original Chili.
