Chick Inn Drive-In 501 Holmes Rd., Ypsilanti; 734-483-3639 The 1950s-era Ypsilanti drive-in chicken shack is a pink neon-clad icon that greets those entering Ypsilanti along Prospect road with a squawking chicken head. The menu isn’t totally chicken-centric as one would expect, as it offers a wide selection of traditional and not-so-traditional drive-in fare like foot-longs, coney dogs, patty melts, sweet potato fries, seafood, and plenty of fried finger foods. The price is right, as most sandwiches are around $5. Photo by Kate de Fuccio

 Coney Dogs Don’t you dare call it a chili dog.

Detroit knows how to coney so well that we have our own local rivalries (American vs. Lafayette.) Photo via MT File
