What's the best casual restaurant in Michigan?

There are tons of non-frills spots to get some good grub in Michigan. One casual restaurant (that's been around for more than 100 years!) is getting national attention as the best in the state.

Food publication The Daily Meal sought to find the best restaurant in each state where the food is cheap and you'll feel right at home in jeans.

So what makes a great casual restaurant? The Daily Meal says it's more than price, but also a comfortable and relaxed ambiance, a "destination" status (is it worth traveling for?), and a proven reputation.

The Daily Meal's pick for the best casual restaurant in Michigan is truly an iconic one: American Coney Island in Detroit.

The restaurant's hot dogs are made with a proprietary blend that is exclusively produced for them by Dearborn Sausage company. On the classic Coney, a hot dog is put in warm steamed bun and topped with a Greek-spiced beef-heart-based chili sauce developed by founder Gust Keros, diced onions, and mustard.

American Coney Island has another location in Las Vegas.

Yet another Michigan hot dog joint was recently named the best "cult favorite" restaurant in the state.

Now, in terms of getting the most bang for your buck, a different food publication picked a different Michigan restaurant as the best "everyday eats" joint.
