Zeff's Coney Island in Eastern Market

Visited during a recent trip to Michigan to treat my wife to a Coney Dog and fries and Zeff's across town Eastern Market in Detroit didn't disappoint. The fries didn't last long enough to take a picture lol.

Amazing service and with only one cook we were extremely impressed with how fast our food came out! Everything was perfect best crispy hash browns and pancakes super friendly waitress, clean but total dive diner;) Always impressed with this city!

No wait (though packed to the gills) at around 9 am on a Sunday The staff were super friendly and seemed very used to the crowd - didn't even skip a beat! My toddler LOVED the scrambled eggs. Omelets were good and my husband raved about the gyro meat in his. We parked in one of the market lots with no issue as well.

My love & I went here on tigers opening day 2023. We were tailgating downtown Detroit. I ordered the zeffs chicken sub and he had the corn beef w/ 1 side of fries. We both had waters. Which I asked the server to put in a togo cup and she didn't do so... i then requested togo water before we left. We sat at the bar-top. The food was not seasoned at all to us. I even asked for cajun or seasoning salt and the lady said they dont have that here. She pointed at the salt, pepper and ketchup. Lol. I asked for 2 cornbeef eggrolls to go. The waitress forgot to put them in. Then when we went to eat them, it barley had any cheese in them. It was shaped like an empty square. Smh, i likely wont be back.

I've been a patron of Zeff's for over 30 years for the same food my grandfather and father ate while working at the Eastern Market, especially on the weekends; with an incredibly friendly staff and freshly made food. Their breakfast and lunches are delish, with huge portions too. Their coffee is made fresh and the staff always smiles and spends a few extra moments chatting with customers. Booths and tables are comfortable and it's never too loud and you seldom wait longer than 3 minutes for a table. Their counter gives you a first glance at the cooking area which is also always clean! A true gem of the city and especially Eastern Market. We love Zeffs!

First the service here is excellent. It's a seat yourself place. Its busy so they might not get to you right away but once they do they are spot on. A quick food rundown; corned beef omelette was stuffed full of corned beef, Any veggie in or on your dish is fresh, and even the lettuce is super green and leafy no kidding! My wifes ham sanwich was great, my coney dog was perfect, their clam chowder is homemade and delish. I looooooved this place!

Out flippin standing! True diner experience. Small and cozy place. We went for breakfast. It wasn't very busy. It's seat yourself. Staff were attentive and friendly. We had standard breakfast fare but it was delicious and everything cooked perfectly. Coffee was really good. Highly recommend! It's a gem.

Went to the market early today and decided to finally try zeffs. Normally I go to farmer franks or get peoples pierogi. Very happy with the country skillet. It filled the skillet up so much it was hard to eat right out of it! Food came out quickly and was very hot! I'll be back for sure!!

On a recent visit to Eastern Market, my four-year-old daughter was hungry. We needed something fast so we found ourselves just off the actual market at Zeff's Coney Island Restaurant. It's a dive in the best way. We ordered a hot dog to go and it was ready within minutes. Not only did my daughter love her hot dog, I did too! It was tasty, cheap and quick!

One of our favs to visit or to order for pickup. If you're close, a delivery would be great as well. Food is always amazing. The service always feels like the family of a good friend invited you to some home cooking...and it's all delicious. Loyal since 2020
