The Leo's Coney Island franchise is a staple in the Metro Detroit area, and the Saline location follows in that vein. The restaurant is located on State Street off of Michigan Avenue and is housed in a brand new brick building. The Leo's franchise was established in 1972, but the Saline restaurant was founded in 2008. The menu features burgers, fries, Coney Island-style hot dogs and other diner fare.
Hambo Coney Island has been a staple in Ferndale since 1995, serving budget-friendly breakfast and lunch. This is an all-American diner experience with a pleasant staff and all kinds of breakfast specials, sandwiches, burgers and wraps. There are take-out options.
In 2009, Leo's was voted the #1 Coney Island hot dog by local news station WDIV. And in fact, founder Leo Stassinopoulos did work in a Coney Island eatery in the late 1960s. The first Leo's served Coney Island basic like hot dog, fries, burgers and Greek salads. Today, the menu features a variety of items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition to Coney Island dogs, Leo's serves Greek specialties, burgers, soups and sandwiches. The restaurant is bright, and open with flatscreen televisions and large murals on the walls. It is located in the plaza near Vince and Joe's at the corner of Van Dyke and 25 Mile Road.
Located in downtown Plymouth on Forest Street, the Burger Spot is a must-see eatery. Besides juicy, 100 percent beef burgers, visitors may enjoy lunch items such as pulled pork sandwiches, chili cheese fries and freshly made iced tea.

The meals at Joe's Top Dog are a combination of classic diner food and Coney Island fare. Breakfast is served anytime, in addition to burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups, chili and Coney Island dogs.
