As a former Metro Detroiter living in the Chicago area I've been homesick for coney. I found Lola's and I couldn't have been happier. Tastes just like home. Very nice staff.

the coney was a 5/5, coming from a detroit native. the crunch of the frank and that iconic detroit chili taste was what my homesick self needs.

We drove 2 hours from Wisconsin to try their Detroit style coney dogs. The coney dogs were very good really worth trying. I was born in Detroit and visit family often and i have eaten plenty of coney dogs And the only complaint was the $6 onion rings they taste good but kind of skimpy. The lady who took our order was very nice but parking was a limited. I will definitely take the rest of the family on a road trip to have them try it

The best polish sausage and onion rings! Their grilled onions on the polish were diced and grilled beautifully! The sauce that comes with the onion rings was fabulous.It was so good I forgot to take pictures before I started!

Tried out the famous hotdogs paired with cheesy fries on the side. Both were great but not the best I have tasted.

Absolutely top-quality hot dog/burger joint even if you ignore the menu's Detroit slant, which frankly I have been doing because I am a bit grossed out by chili dogs. But I've had the Chicago-style dog and the Lola's burger, and both are excellent--especially the latter, which I think belongs in the conversation on Chicago's best burgers. Cooked perfectly medium, juicy, minimal toppings to ensure you're actually tasting the burger (with its smoky char flavor), and a tasty (but not overwhelming) aioli made in-house. Goddamn great burger.I live between this place and Fatso's a bit further east on Chicago Ave, and I gotta tell you, even though Fatso's is an institution I am gonna choose this place over it every time. The quality is more consistent here and the prices are actually lower. I'll try their other items eventually, maybe even the chili dog if I'm feeling brave.The few times I've been here it has never really been busy, so I want everyone to go here to make sure they stick around! Make it a destination!

I finally made my way to Lola's Coney Island after passing by for months, and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. Having been to Detroit multiple times, I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to Coney Dogs, and Lola's did not disappoint.While the chili wasn't an exact match to what I've had in Detroit, it came impressively close. But let's be clear, I'm not complaining in the slightest. In my humble opinion (and to my Detroit friends, please don't come for me), a Coney Dog is essentially a chili cheese dog. I've had this debate countless times, but my stance remains firm.I opted for takeout and added a side of cheese-drenched fries to my order. The fries were a revelation - crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The cheese had a unique blend of seasonings that elevated it beyond the ordinary. It was a delightful departure from your standard cheese.The restaurant itself exudes a cozy, neighborhood joint vibe and is impeccably clean. It's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home.I can say with certainty that I'll be returning for my Coney Dog fix. Having never come across a spot in Chicago that serves up these Detroit delicacies, Lola's has now become my go-to. A special shoutout to the friendly and pleasant staff member who took my order - it added an extra layer of warmth to the experience.For my fellow Detroiters living in Chicago, if you're on the hunt for an authentic Coney Dog, look no further than Lola's. You won't be disappointed.
