My Favorite Hot Dog Places In Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids and West Michigan have some iconic hot dog places that serve them up in so many tasty styles.

Yesterdog 

Located in Grand Rapids Easttown this is one place everyone should visit at least once. They don't take credit or debit cards so bring some cash so you don't leave hungry.

Pronto Pup

Located in Grand Haven is where you will find Pronto Pup. I recommend getting it with both ketchup and mustard. They're cash only so make sure you come prepared.

For that honor, you have to head to Michigan's eastside and grab a couple of coney dogs at American Coney Island. The popular coney joint has been family owned and operated since 1917.

This is what Food Network said about American Coney Island in Detroit

Motor City may be the Car Capital of the World and the birthplace of Motown, but food-lovers have long associated it with the Coney Dog. Layered with chili, lined with mustard and dotted with onions, these franks have spread across the Midwest, becoming staples in places as far away as Kentucky and Oklahoma. You have to try them at side-by-side originals Lafayette and American Coney Island to get in on the age-old Detroit debate as to which is best. That multigenerational question has most likely spawned more than one Montague-Capulet-like feuds.
