Located on the corner of Grand River and Dobie, T & G Coney Grill took over the space occupied by the frou-frou overpriced and not particularly good Restaurant Villegas. They seem to have changed almost nothing about the decor, which is still dark and rustic, an odd setting for a coney dog place. We have driven by many times, never very tempted. But on our Quest, we try every restaurant.
It was pretty good, for a coney grill. We were pleased to learn that it is not a chain, so we knew we were supporting real people, not a corporation (not that there's anything really wrong with corporations).
Cindy had the Gyro, which she said was good, better than at Lou and Harry's around the corner. I had a coney dog with chili fries. The coney dog was fine. Good dog (Koegel's, I'd guess, nice and snappy), and adequate chili. The chili fries were OK; the fries were good, the chili was a bit gummy; it was OK on a dog, not so great spooned over a pile of fries.
Overall, we liked it. It felt sort of like a small-time family-owned restaurant (in an odd, pompous space, but that's not their fault).
Will we go back? Maybe.
Rating on a scale of 1-10: 5.
