    Old school diner with great service and plenty of menu options. Seating was a little tight. We were in a booth and heard the entire conversation on both sides. Food itself was good - everybody got what they wanted - a Coney, a Greek salad with chicken, etc. Seemed like a nice neighborhood place and worth the short walk from Eastern Market.

    Went for quick lunch asked for potato soup which was on the soup board told there was none asked for a baby Greek salad was told it was 10 dollars ended up ordering a corned beef sandwich was tasting very good but meat was cold didn't fill my drink till I asked 2 times, place only had 3 tables went to pay had a corned beef sandwich and pop total was $24 dollars 🤯😭😭🤦 sandwich was tasty but very small prices were very high once I said to her she was kinda belittling me like I was broke claiming "no one else complained" when I was simply saying it was very expensive for a sandwich and pop. They will never see another dollar from me.

    Amazing food. Chicken in an omelet?! Yes please! These cooks know what they are doing behind that bar. It's pretty chilly if you sit anywhere near the front during the winter time because there isn't a sufficient air block.... but the service was great and Speedy.

    Friends and I popped in for an early breakfast before hitting the Eastern Market. Zeff's Coney Island is a long-standing, family-owned American diner in Detroit's Eastern Market with an old-school diner vibe, known for its homestyle cooking and signature dishes. Our server was fun, fast, and friendly. They offer a wide variety of omelets, including a popular Farmers Omelet with hash browns inside and a House Omelet with various meats. A couple of us ordered both the corned beef and pastrami hash. It was incredible; however, we could only eat about a third of this enormous portion. Highly recommend Zeff's Coney Island and looking forward to returning.
