Lipuma's Coney Island in Rochester, Michigan is a family-owned diner established in 1969 offering classic Detroit-style Coney Dogs, loose burgers, chili fries, and other diner staples. Bill Lipuma opened the restaurant and later passed ownership to his son, Tony Lipuma. The restaurant sits along the scenic Paint Creek River, featuring outdoor picnic-table seating where patrons can watch ducks and trees. The modest interior includes wooden booths, photo-covered walls, and an old-school menu board, while the exterior presents a welcoming sign, benches, hanging flower baskets, and a wooden deck with a green awning.
Despite a common misconception, they don't have anything to do with the theme park in New York City. Every Coney Island menu features the quintessential "Coney Dog," which is a hot dog topped with a beanless chili, diced onions, and yellow mustard. Many also have "loose burgers" consisting of ground beef and toppings in a hot dog bun. Depending on the location, you might also find chili fries, hamburgers, breakfast platters, and Greek-American dishes.
Bill Lipuma opened the restaurant in 1969, and after about 30 years, he passed the family-owned eatery on to his son, Tony Lipuma. The allure of Lipuma's starts with the atmosphere. It's located on the scenic Paint Creek River that flows through downtown Rochester. Patrons often eat on picnic tables alongside the river, where they can admire the ducks and the deciduous trees.
