Nashville's Original Detroit Coney

Every bite carries the soul of Detroit — right here on Trousdale Drive.

Hand-rolled onions, a savory meat sauce passed down through generations, and a bun that holds it all together. This is the real deal.

A taste of Michigan, right here in Nashville

Detroit's Coney Island isn't just a restaurant — it's a cultural institution. Born on the streets of downtown Detroit in the early 1900s, it gave the city its working-class identity, one chili dog at a time.

At Jim's, we honor that tradition with the same approach: a rich, slow-simmered meat sauce, fresh dill pickles, and hand-rolled white onions. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the honest, unpretentious flavors that made Detroit Coney Islands legendary.

Now Nashville has a taste of its own — a neighborhood spot where the coffee is hot, the portions are generous, and every Coney tastes like it came straight from Lafayette Boulevard.
